Do You Ever Doubt Yourself as a Parent?
June 14, 2013 By 10 Comments
When I looked into my son's bag this weekend I realized a card from Mother’s Day was inside of it. I was shocked because I check his book-bag every single day and knew I hadn’t bi-passed it. He’s actually really good with bringing things home, although lately he has been forgetting things due to his change of meds. Before even reading it I confronted him and asked him why hadn’t be given it to me? He put his eyes down and said, “I kept forgetting it in my desk”. Seems as though they … [Read more...]

I usually introduce the skill being taught to the children through my read aloud. It’s great because the children love to be read to and they seem to comprehend things better when they see it in a book. The book allows me to teach them the math concept and for them to go back to their seats and implement and … [Read more...]
Beautiful in My Own Skin!
June 3, 2013 By 2 Comments
Since a young girl I remember looking at my sister and thinking how could two people who come from the same mother and father look so different? I find myself saying the same thing with my boys. My boys have such a different personality, hair texture, and body frame. It often takes me back to thinking how my sister and I were. Although many people say they look alike I can see the difference, but in my eyes they are both handsome boys. The same way in my eyes my sister was beautiful and I never … [Read more...]
Taking The Leap a Year Ago….
May 31, 2013 By 2 Comments
A year ago, on June 1st 2012 I wrote my first post right here on my very own platform. It took me some time to really think it through and finally work up the courage to write it. Why courage?

Creating this page, my writing is free for anyone to read and I wasn’t sure I was ready for that. I … [Read more...]
