We moms worry over everything. I sometimes worry about things that won't happen for years. Like driver's licenses, weddings and grandchildren. Insane!

Great post Summer, you're not alone I think every Mother feels the same way, just in varying degrees. Welcome to the world of Motherhood!

Very nice post, and I think that everyone can agree with how you feel about all the environmental toxins we have today. I have to point out, though, that things were never really simpler. The 1950s is exactly when the neighborhood farmer started pumping the produce with all that junk and suddenly packaged foods were considered the best because people believed that science was better than nature. And before that, there frequently wasn't enough affordable food because crops were subject to the whims of nature. The truth is that moms throughout history have always had to battle to protect their kids. Things are no better or worse today, just different. And that goes for future parents, too.

I can totally relate to motherhood changing me in ways I would never expect. You summed it all up very nicely :)

How true that motherhood equals some worrying. My new fear is community MRSA!

it is all very worrying - and regardless of any decision, there's always the worry that we could have gone the other way... as if motherhood wasn't busy enough!

Summer,

There is so much to fear in the world around us and in the risks we take in our own decisions. Yet at the same time, there is so much hope and promise in all that we do. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on FFAFP and thank you for making me think. I enjoyed your visit. I also appreciate how welcome you and your readers made me feel on Wired for Noise.
