The Attached Mother

by Allison Goines

My first post in my brand new bloggity blog.
I’m excited to share my experience as an attachment parent. The road has not always been easy and with my oldest nearing his sixth birthday, I have many years of AP’ing to come. I’m up for the challenge because I believe what I’m doing is the best I can do for my beautiful boys.
I feel honored to have the chance to share bits of my life with other parents who are interested in attachment parenting.
