Teach children about decision-making and how to tell the difference between a bad decision and a good one. Let them "own" their problems. If they solve them, they gain confidence in themselves. If you solve them, they'll remain dependent on you. It’s important to teach them to think for themselves. Take the time to answer [...]
Whelp, I lost again in family court! Lol. For the past 2 years, she’s been asking me to start her YouTube page and I was giving major resistance. Just like when she wanted to publish her book under her name instead of a pen name. I was not feeling it. Having my baby in the [...]
Life as we knew it has changed. And I hate it! This is the second year that my baby had to have a virtual birthday party. It makes me a little sad that her memories will be different, but I have to remind myself that this too shall pass, and she is enjoying her memories. [...]

I used to have anxiety about traveling with my daughter but now I must say she has become my little road dog! Pausing to take deep breaths and meditation has always helped tremendously. I travel a lot for work and keep her in toe. I have always preferred taking the earliest flight out. Yes, that [...]

Good ol’ Molly is still alive! I am thankful to report she is now a year and a month old and she’s still alive. (I have never worked so hard to make sure a fish is taken care of.) She has had 1 babysitter so far and that was Grandma when we went to Disney [...]
I was in the bathroom with my daughter changing her earrings and cleaning the holes in her ears. I was taking her rubies out and putting her diamonds in. "Mommy, what are diamonds?" my daughter asked. "Stones, baby," I answered. "What are rubies, Mommy?" she asked. I could see her thinking. "They are stones baby," [...]
Death by Tiny Toys: that’s the headline I hear in my head at least once a week in my house. How many times do I have to scream, “Pick up your toys?” Last night I rolled over and a Littlest Pet Shop was in my ribs. I just damn near died from these Cutie Cars [...]
2 months ago, my daughter went to her instructor and asked could she be in the tournament. She overheard the older kids talking about it. He looked up at me not knowing how to respond. I smiled at him. He had a long talk with her about how she would have to learn a form and [...]
