Seriously, I know it's like having people come to your house that you've never had over before, and you've never been to their place so you have no idea about how they really live. Don't worry about the meta so much, just keep writing the great posts you write, and let the rest take care of itself. You're doing a great job. No one else in the Parenting Universe has the balls to talk about Good Enough Parenting. GEP should be the goal, since perfect is a constantly moving, unattainable goalpost. Now on to the concept of GEB- Good Enough Blogging- good enough that you don't get wound up with writer's block convinced you have nothing of value to say. Ah, if only I took my own advice...

Not that I worry too much about blog design anyway, content is what counts. I am very excited about your message, having spent my first years as a mother dodging well-meaning people wielding one-size-fits-all baby rule books (yes, you know the ones). And ... um ... I may be submitting a question for you shortly :-) My first visit (clicked over from DGM, obviously), and I think it looks great!

I'm buying! I've recently started a new blog myself about the same topic. I'm psychotically hard on myself when it comes to parenting my 4-year-old son, so I've been working hard at seeing the "Good Enough" in my parenting. I think we all need more of this! Thanks for pushing it. :) “Good Enough” parenting is what you’re selling? I’m buying! I’ve recently started a new blog myself about the same topic.

I'm excited to start reading your site and getting some ideas and inspiration for dealing with my kids. I have a 4 year old with a life-threatening illness (although we are anticipating an end of treatment in OCT) and 2 great older kids who are dealing with all the fallout of that life. I don't know if you've ever addressed a situation like that, but I'll be looking for it. Free THERAPY! I love it. :) --Anissa www.hope4peyton.org Dr. Heather

But of course! I know you've worked hard on getting the new site going and it looks FAB. The great thing is, the more readers YOU get, the more info we ALL get! I'd say that's WIN, WIN for all of us!

H-Dawg, you know your fans keep coming back here for a reason. They love you, just like we do. You're good. You're nice. You're pretty. You're smart. Maybe I should start a new site called ShrinkShrink, where I answer inquiries from trouble psychologists.

It's MORE than good enough. It is inspirational. The amount of care and attention you give to your readers' concerns demonstrates such an incredible commitment to helping others that it not only nudges me to do more in my own life but also makes me feel that there really are other people out there who will be there for me (even virtually) when things don't seem to be going to plan. You keep posting, we'll keep reading and learning. Of course BabyShrink is good enough! It’s MORE than good enough. It is inspirational.

No way. I always appreciate your stopping by and contributing to the discussion here. And I do thank you for the reality-check. It's easy to get lost in the "trees" of technology, especially when I'm so clueless and new to it all! Thanks for the compliment, too. I'm glad you like it! Dear BPD,

And I always know that you'll tell me like it is..no sugar-coating. So when you're happy....I'm happy. Baby T is talking about Rusty and the Big Kids and what a great time we had yesterday. See you tomorrow! :D Dearest Hot Wife:
