In the most difficult but fruitful times, I've found a successful parenting journey lies in something simple-profound, yet simple.
And trust me, I need simple!
A simple recipe, you could say. The best kind of recipe-the kind you can adapt to your family's needs and tastes.
But like figuring out any other recipe, it's going to take a few "Holy Shit!" moments.
Patti Giuliano, an accomplished Doctor of Chiropractic for forty-two years (she started practice at age ten, obviously) and a devoted mother of two thirty-something children, has spent decades navigating the parenting journey-hers and hundreds of families' in her practice-with curiosity, humor, and resilience. Where "Dr. Patti" found practicing chiropractic easy, parenting was a daunting challenge. How did other parents make it look so easy? Were they simply not sharing the full story?
In the hope other moms and moms-to-be will find comfort, insight, and a few well-needed laughs, she candidly shares her parenting stories-the good, the challenging, the not-so-great, and the amazing. Her parenting "recipe," passed down from her Italian grandmother, Isabella Carola, has ingredients to tantalize anyone's palate.
