I’m not usually one to participate in blog parties, but I have a certain fondness in my heart for 5 Minutes for Mom’s Ultimate Blog Party. This is one of the first blog events I participated in and it was a great way to find fellow bloggers that I still enjoy reading today. If you are a blogger, I encourage you to participate and check out all the wonderful blogs.
Now, on to the introductions: I’m a wife and stay-at-home mom to a wonderful almost 2-year-old boy. Prior to my mommy life, I studied Human Development and Family Sciences and graduated with my PhD in 2008. During grad school, I realized how little of the important academic research on child development and parenting actually reached the hands of the people who need it–parents! The goal with my blog is to “translate” some of this great research into a parent-friendly, easy to read format. I don’t claim to be a parenting “expert.” I’m learning as I go, just like everyone else, but I do think knowing the latest research is helpful.
Please check out my posts and let me know if you have suggestions for topics you’d like me to discuss. Thanks for visiting!
