Hi I’m Stef. And this is my blog ParentDifferently.com. Here we talk about how to find the good in the everyday using what I call the Parenting with Gratitude™ method.

While acknowledging that there is real stress out there, parenting is not ALL bad, some parts are actually pretty amazing. It’s just hard to notice them when everything inside of us (and outside of us) is screaming that things suck.

Gratitude helps us to shift our focus from WTF to GoodAF. More here if you’d like.

Thank you for offering your insights on parenting with gratitude! I am starting my informal research for my next book which I will be writing over the coming year. Any anecdotes or input you have on the benefits of your modern parenting experience will contribute to the authenticity of the book — and ultimately help other parents like yourself! - Stef
