MommyCon for a Non-AP Parent + Kiinde Giveaway

While I support all these topics in concept, I don’t practice many of them with my own sons, now ages 2 and 6. We have always used disposable diapers, I bottle-fed them both, I went back to work full-time when my oldest son was 2 ½ and worked until my youngest was 18 months old before returning home to blog full-time. We try our best to eat whole foods when possible, but don’t adhere to an organic diet and can sometimes be found in the fast food drive-thru lane.

At the event I rubbed elbows with many a mom carrying a baby or toddler in a carrier, dads following their children around while their significant other browsed the booths with baltic amber teething necklaces, essential oils and baby leggings. I struck up conversations with many moms who didn’t even have a booth and found out many had blogs of their own, were doulas, take their children to babywearing ballet, and could tell me the merits of the different kinds of cloth diapers and carriers. What I ended up taking from the experience is at our core we are all just trying to do the very best we can for our children. I teach my sons not to point out others differences and to embrace everyone regardless of their differences in opinion and beliefs and I know many other parents preach the same values so why shouldn’t we apply them to how we treat one another?
