When asked what I do for a living, I always have the same answer...."I am a stay at home mom". When I give that answer, I don't always get "Oh that's wonderful that you can do that", it's usually the same look that seems to be one of disgust or annoyance. It makes me feel inferior and as if I am a horrible person for choosing to stay home with my children. Being a mom seven days a week is not Read More »»

Suffering In Silence: A Smile Doesn’t Mean Everything’s Okay
Suffering in silence. It's an epidemic in today's society, how do I know because I've been there. I've been the person that is suffering in silence because I don't want to burden anyone with my problems. I will go through things and tell everyone "It's okay" when I feel like I am fighting a losing battle. When I have felt like the world is closing in on me. I am lucky, though, I am alive Read More »»

Forgiveness: It’s Not for Them, It’s for You!

In return, I began to get anxiety, anger, depressed, the wall immediately begin to spring up and I started to hold grudges and unforgiveness. It's easier to shut everyone out and move on, right?

When Schools Get It Wrong! FCAT and EOC Land A/B Students In Summer School
The report card comes and you see that A or B (sometimes even a C if it's a course you were really struggling in) and both you and your child are so proud. That end of the year 4.0 is something to celebrate....right? Wrong! Apparently, thanks to the End of Course tests given to students in my county (and I think the whole state), that 4.0 student is now a candidate for summer school! I'll wait a Read More »»

Remind Someone (and yourself) They Are Beautiful
It's always easy to feel beautiful when you are all glammed up! I know that's the case for me, but the thing is, I don't have to have a face full of makeup and my hair just so to feel beautiful. It makes me sad to know that's not the case for everyone. In fact, it's not the case for everyone even when they are wearing makeup and that breaks my heart. I have a daughter who I think is the most Read More »»
