My sweet AJ who is turned 3 years old in August has an odd reaction to “love”. After many tests and working hard with him he still has his bad days. Today for instance he decided to run up to me and smack me as hard as he could in my back, this boy is my biggest challenge. I look at my oldest and my youngest child, what do I see? I see smiley faces and I hear happy thoughts, I love you’s and they are overall two really happy children. Then I take a peek at my middle child and what do I see? Anger, something in his eyes that doesn’t show emotion and a child who loves to laugh but doesn’t seem to know how to show love.

For me, I haven’t been living my happy for a while, but I am able to focus on my children, my blog and my business to create the happiness inside I needed to move forward. Finding myself in a situation where my heart wasn’t feeling what it should, I had to make a hard decision, that ultimately will change my whole family situation. This is a …
A Parents Job
I am a firm believer that no one should ever tell another parent how to raise their children! Raising children is our own personal decision and we must all do it in a way that works best for who we are as a person and a family. That being said, the biggest thing I would like to say is that no matter how you raise your child, one thing should always be consistent for every parent across the world and this my friends I call “A Parent’s Job” … A parents job is to stand by their children, to pick them up when they fail and to be the shoulder they need when times are bad.
