  • Recently I was asked my parenting style for an upcoming interview on a great site I'm a huge supporter of. I answered "My parenting style is me". We seem to label too often what we are and then find ourselves in a box. Whether we routine , demand, discipline or raise our children in fear or confidence I find it such a contentious question. Your parenting style is YOU , how you raise your little beings in the world is right for your family! Don't forget that. There is no right way. As for my dress style; Well I told my sister the other day it's eastern suburbs infused with Ghetto and we both couldn't stop laughing #beyou No one does it better #laughatyourself #dontbeserious
