For Moms

Hey, Mamas, you’re beautiful. Has anyone told you this lately? Because it’s true. And I know you don’t always feel it.

When the Twin Towers fell September 11, 2001 I was student teaching in a local school, I wasn't able to fully comprehend what happened until 7 hours later.

So, how do we honor the Grands in Our life? Start off by asking your kiddos!  They might have a few ideas of how they would like to show their love and admiration for their Grandparents, but if you need a few ideas, here's a short list of activities you can discuss as a family:

Are you a list maker like I am? Remember when you were 10 and you made a list of what you wanted to do and who you wanted to be when you grew up?

 The ability to voice our opinions on the internet is a double-edged sword. With infinite topics and conversations, people find themselves engaged in great battles of words and wits.

There is no such thing as a perfect human being. I would even wager that for a human, being flawed is a requirement. Admitting that fact is a stepping stone to actively attempting to recognize and eliminate the flaws...

If you are around kids in any capacity, you know there are toys of the moment that better not be lost, forgotten at Grandma’s, or broken, otherwise an apocalyptic type situation will explode in your household.

There, I said it. My number one goal this summer was to have some fun without my kid. I love her to pieces, but let's get real; Moms just wanna have fun too!!!

As a working mother I can count on one hand, oh wait… two fingers, how often I have spent an entire work-free week with my children. Two times a year-yes you read that correctly!

One of my greatest accomplishments in my life will forever be joining the inclusive world of motherhood.  We all have our own beliefs, preferences, and passions, but we execute our daily lives and insane schedules out of love and the desire to be the best we can be with our accessible resources.
