Sow Much Chaos, Sow Little Secrecy
There are days when I feel like no matter how much I do for my kids, I am not able to feel victorious as a mother. Yesterday was one such day. Yesterday started with a husband who had the stomach flu and not feeling so hot myself. I got the kids to school and [...]
I don’t subscribe to parenting magazines anymore. Quite honestly, I’m tired of reading about how to make my own baby food and handle terrible two tantrums. My kids are past the baby stage and I need a publication that talks about how to thrive during motherhood, beyond the baby era. The is one magazine that [...]
Daniel Jr was close…thisclose…to earning his cell phone. He wants one bad, so bad that he can taste it. When progress reports came home from school last week, I could see how painful it was for him to hand me his. He had four A’s and one B+. The deal we made required all A’s. [...]

My kids are not allowed to “date.” They may have friends of the opposite sex, of course. But it is our belief that they are far too young to understand all that comes with being in a relationship. However, some of our kids do not heed our advice on matters of the heart. A [...]
My kids love the song, “Umbrella,” by Rhianna. Ella especially loves it since it repeatedly chants her name! This is how my kids know of this young singing sensation with mad amounts of talent.
