What Is with Hiding Age?

A woman who jokes about turning 30 every year and then a woman who seriously refuses to let anyone know her real age. What is wrong with these scenarios? Probably nothing really but I just don’t understand them is all. Of course joking about being 30 again, I get it, I laugh whenever my Mom tries to tell me she is younger than what I calculated her out to be. My Grandmother probably feels great because every year I swear she is 65 again and my father? Well he just shakes his head when he realizes what me turning 30 on Friday means — he’s getting older! I have no problems telling people that I am turning 30 on Friday, but I am sort of sick of hearing “wow you …

How Will You Discuss Drugs & Alcohol with Your Kids?

This is a very interesting video topic that was shared on Her Channel and I just have to discuss this because I have a very strong opinion on how I will keep my kids in the loop about alcohol yet not so 100% sure on how to deal with the drug talk. From my experience I dealt well with my father who spoke to me about drugs and alcohol from a young age. You see, I thank my Dad for this open nature, why?

If we go to the local gas station that we frequent that’s a little different, the kids are always within ear shot and it’s a small enough store that I let them go to the drink coolers & grab their own drink without …

Just Listen to me; Medication Options Suck

When my son Aj was born believe me the last thing I ever thought of was having to deal with a child who has a mood disorder. Everyone who isn’t living in my household seeing the day to day mood changes of my five year old can lend advice and speak without knowing the exact situation but when it comes down to it, believe me I am a no med kind of mom, I hate the idea of tossing meds at my children. Three years ago I finally got a pediatrician to listen to me about Aj’s aggressive behavior, how he only has one major emotion “anger” and compared to his other two siblings this has proved to be something unique to Aj that hasn’t changed with parenting style changes, …
