As a parent, the last thing you want to admit is that your child needs help. We pray and pray that our children are born healthy and perfect, but things happen. Without a doubt, we have been blessed with three beautiful healthy children. I will never complain about that. I guess, as a mom, I [...]

It’s Earth Day, and the wonderful people at P&G and SheSpeaks have come together for a fun little program to encourage families to conserve with everyday effects. Sometimes, it’s the little things that we all do daily that add up over time and make a real difference. Here are some of the ways my family [...]

Today, I took my older two girls to a fun little event hosted by my friend Marla and her church, called You, Me, and a Cupcake. It was a fun gathering of ladies from her church. I don’t personally attend their church, but it was open to friends of members of the church as well, [...]

Athena is almost 16 months old. It’s crazy. So I thought I would update how we’re doing with breastfeeding. When she was born, my goal was to nurse at least a year, but hopefully longer. With my first, I only nursed a couple of months and switched her to formula. Mostly because I was uneducated [...]

Last Sunday, we woke up, ate breakfast, loaded the car up, and headed to the west side of the state. My uncles ex-wife and their two boys (my cousins) were visiting from England, and planned on coming up from San Francisco for a couple of days to see my two aunts, grandmother, mom, the girls, and I. [...]

In this day and age, kids are becoming more connected with the Internet, television and video games. This leads not only to rising childhood obesity but less of a sense of well-being. That is not to say that all video games are bad and no television shows are educational, but technology should not consume a [...]

I had originally planned on writing a recap post about our weekend yesterday, but then the baby woke up just sick as heck. So I spent most of the day just holding her, and taking care of the girls. Last week was Passover. I come from a Jewish family, but my mother was not very [...]

This pretty sums up how I feel about the whole thing. Read the full story about this photo here. Sin exists in each and every one of us. Should homosexuals be denied a LEGAL action (marriage) simply because they choose to love someone of the same sex? No. God loves us ALL, right?

It’s almost midnight here. I have my laptop open, the television on, and a cup of coffee next to me. Yes, at eleven-thirty at night. I should be in bed, but after being up since seven am taking care of the girls, by bedtime I’m so looking forward to just quietness. I remember the days when [...]

My sweet baby girl turned six last week. Seriously? I wish I could still cuddle her in my arms for hours, like when she was little. Instead, I take joy in being able to talk with her, teach her, and listen to this incredible young girl and all that she knows and feels, right now in her [...]

I was 19 years old when I got pregnant. My boyfriend and I had only been together four months. Everyone thought it was too soon, that we were too young, and making a huge mistake. Maybe it was too soon, but it was our choice to make. Looking back, I have no idea why I [...]

It’s almost April, which means you only have a few more weeks left to file your taxes, if you haven’t done so already. I filed ours a few weeks ago. Sadly our return wasn’t as much as it usually is. My blog is my business, so I get to pay my taxes at the end [...]
