I remember the days of post baby mentality when I thought I had it all figured out.  I had a laundry list of items I swore I was never going to do as a parent.  TV....nope, Sweets....heck no, Fast Food....over my dead body!  I told myself these were non-negotiable and our kiddo was gonna get fresh cooked healthy meals every day with all dem' veggies and protein with a structured schedule and sleep routine.  It all sounds super easy and I'm not saying its impossible.  There are definitely some parents that can make it happen and I bow down to you for that.  However, it doesn't always happen or work for everyone and what I want to say to that is, IT IS OK! 

I'm not saying all the things I wanted to be as a parent were thrown out the window once the time came.  It just didn't work for us and particularly me to be as consistent as I had hoped and I've learned to accept that it doesn't make me a bad parent.
