About me -
"I want to be a mommy"

24 years ago, when I was just a 6 year old girl, starting school, I was asked this question:

"Who do you want to be when you grow up?".

I remember this very well because it was videotaped. I watched it few years ago.

As my friends name all kinds of professions such as teachers, astronauts, bankers, presidents I, with the very assuring face and happy voice said:

"I want to be a mommy".

Fast forward 20 years and I'm a mommy. Who-hooo!

As I was starting my dream career (mothering) way before I got pregnant I realized that this will be the best job ever.

When we decided "to get pregnant" I totally calmed my life down. Not because I had to, but because it was natural wish for me.

I refused any kinds of drugs or painkillers during my daughter's birth.
I instantly started breastfeeding. And didn't stop for 2.5 years.
I slept with her from day 1.
I carried her around.
I never understood the purpose of hitting children or making them cry when you can pick them up.

When I was pregnant with my 2nd child, I was evaluating my parenting skills and tried to understand why I did things the way I did.

Occasionally friends or family would comment on our parenting choices (co-sleeping, extended breastfeeding, positive discipline) and I didn't have much to say except "I believe it's the best for my child". So with the 2nd baby approaching I decided to find some real evidence to show to others.

That's when we learned about Attachment Parenting.

I believed in it instantly because I was doing it already without knowing it.

I gave births naturally
I breastfeed exclusively, on demand, in public and over 2 years.
We co-sleep (bed-share)
We practice babywearing
We use Positive Discipline

I became more confident knowing that more people are practicing Attachment Parenting and that there is plenty of scientific evidence to support co-sleeping, babywearing, extended breastfeeding, positive discipline.

I followed my instincts to be an attached parent.

www.AttachFromScratch.com came to my life naturally too.

I always wanted to share my parenting journey with others not because it is special and worth of extra attention but because I wanted other parents to learn more about Attachment Parenting.
I always wanted to work from home. I considered many options and non of them seem to suit my needs. Until I became friends with SBI. It gave us hope that my husband no longer will have to work long hours outside the home and miss all the childhood of our children. SO we started our journey with Attachment Parenting online.

As I write this....
