What is the "mommy experiment"?

I have decided to start a blog to solicit ideas from mothers around the world that have raised successful children. My definition of a successful child is one who leads a well-balanced life, maintains a deep spiritual connection with God, excels academically, and treats others with respect. There are many others characteristics that I could list, but these are most important to me.

I know there is not one perfect way to raise a child, because every child is unique and special. I am an educator and mother of two precious boys. Cade is 2 and Cooper is 9 months old. I find that I receive all sorts of parenting advice ranging from people in the grocery store to family members. I feel like I am new to this venture, so again I would like to hear from a few seasoned parents.

Let the ideas flow freely...
