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.

The Great Sprout Tuck-In

I am hoping for us all …

My Biggest Challenge Being a mother was always “fun” to me. My first born made being a Mom so easy. Then comes AJ, my dear second born and first boy, everyone told me boys were nothing like sweet little girls.
