the story of a single mom overcoming life
It seems to me that guilt and being a parent kind of go together. If you are a parent, you know exactly what I’m talking about! Guilt… it’s inevitable — you are going to feel guilty more than once on your parenting journey. Now, with all the mom-shaming or just parent shaming in general, there’s even more […]
It has been almost 11 years since I became a mother and sometimes when I look at the three little girls playing around in my living room I can’t even believe it. I have three amazing little girls. There are times when I just watch them or look in on them when they are fast […]
OK ladies and gents… Can we talk about how important it is to raise our daughters with a decent self-image and how hard it is?! For one thing, every time they turn on the TV what kind of role-models are they seeing? Real everyday women, working real jobs in everyday life? Not quite… instead they […]
Did you guys know I apparently have a tween? Do ya’ll even know what a tween is? Because I had to look it up. My 9 year old daughter, who will be 10 in few short weeks came home not too long ago and informed me that she is indeed a tween. My first thought […]
I’m a firm believer in the saying that God never gives us something we can’t handle….so on morning like today I must remind myself that.

I don’t know one mom who hasn’t felt like a momster (mom+monster = momster) at some point. And if I had to guess those moms have probably felt like that more than once. It’s those crazy moments when two out of my three kids are fighting over which My Little Pony is theirs (there […]
Sometimes in life we experience a change. A change so big that your life from that point forward consists of life before and a new, life after. Divorce/separation is like that. My life has been series of weird changes for my girls and I. The holidays have proved to be no exception to this. I […]
There is nothing more important than instilling confidence in my daughters. Helping them to understand that by having faith their big dreams are possible. There is something magical and so special about a child’s imagination and while they are young I feel it is important to feed into that. Before the big scary and cruel […]
I have so much to say about this concept but for now I shall keep it short and sweet. THIS is my motivation to be better and do my best in because I have three little girls who look up to me and are always watching. The greatest example they have are their parents. You […]
