Children: Our most valuable natural resource.

Our children
When you bring a child into your life it’s the most beautiful blessing you can get. You see them grow and experience their milestones with them. Their smiles and laughs are the most beautiful things that can brighten up your world even more. They are so innocent in these stages and beautiful.

The Best Laid Dinner Plans
I've been working very hard these past months to answer that old question of "how do you cook delicious, nutritious, economical meals on a strict money- and time-budget." On the days I work, I'm home after 5:30; I don't have time to be scraping and chopping vegetables late into the evening. I'm sorry, Thirty Minute Meals don't cut it. I need something more along the lines of Ten (for prep time at least), for under ten dollars, for a family of five. I know it's a tall order, but it's what I need.

Working the Corner
My sister Katie is an excellent cook. She often says she should run a soup kitchen, that she is existentially happiest when she is cooking simple, hearty food for large amounts of people. She says it comes from the days when she worked at The Corner, a now long-extinct hippie restaurant from her college days here in Olympia, Washington.

5 best short moral stories for kids
Tales that will inspire you by teaching important lessons of your life 1. Ants and worm Once, while an ant was searching for its food, she saw a worm coming out of a cocoon. He was slowly moving his legs out of the box. Seeing that, the ant said, ‘Oh, what is your condition? I can walk wherever I want. But you have to spend days in this cell. So there is a big gap between you and me. 'The worm said nothing. A few days later, when the ant returned, only the shell of the worm had fallen and she saw that the worm had gone somewhere. She saw a beautiful moth fluttering its wings as it fluttered its wings. He said to her, ‘Oh, you were mocking me that day as a prisoner, you were saying that your own condition was better than mine, remember that I am the worm in the box. If you want to brag that you can go wherever you want, feel free to hit. Until then, I can easily walk around in the sky for a while. '

Where the Magic Happens
As an Anxious Introvert, that prefers to keep to myself over having lots of friends, my home is unconventional in its set up. Im a single mother of 2 boys ages 4 and 6. Early on I decided that I wasn't going to stress myself to keep up with what the world determined to be "normal". I currently stay in a 1 bedroom apartment. In order to make sure my kids got the experience of having their own space, and being able to decorate it how they'd like, I gave them the bedroom. With that being said I had to make due with the ultra small living room myself. So instead of couches and tables I have a futon for when guests come over (and to sleep on), a tv, and finally in the corner I have what my kids like to call the Pillow spot. In the pillow spot is where most of all of our best memories are created.

The Beginning of the End
Where do I start with this I really don't have any fucking clue? i really dont have any fucking clue. As I sit here and hold my sleeping grandson. I really want to start with him. BUT THIS STORY WAS ALREADY STARTED AND HE KICKED IT. UGH.. His little story is one of those ALL MOST DIDN'T MAKE IT TO THE HOSPITAL. HIS mom was alone in Kansas, I was in North Carolina. Perpectively even his story cannot be told without telling his older sisters story. HER story is tied up in her mother's story.. HER mother's story.. IS TIED INTO MINE.. an MY story WELL lets just say my story is alot of running away from the people tied to me.. BREAKING THE FAMILY CURSE ONCE AND FOR ALL..

Pandemic Parenting and Virtual School
Pandemic Parenting. Yeah, that’s a thing. “So, have you given up yet?” That’s the question I ask myself in the reflection of my coffee every morning. My answer is always, “If I can taste this coffee, then no.” But deep down, I contemplate a retreat to some remote mountain village where Buddhist monks live.

Where Precious Moments are Created
Being outside in nature is the place where I feel most at home. Photographer: DeMario Holley; Henry Doorly Zoo 2010 Whether it's snow, sand, dirt, grass, water, or trees, being in it, touching it, breathing it in helps me to feel at home, cozy, comfortable, calm, and at peace.

If you read my previous story then you know I’ve had 2 very rough and hard pregnancies after I had Madelyn I had her 2 year old sister Emmalynn who was born with only 30% of her skin and then I had Raelyn who was born with anencephaly and only lived 23 days. I’m currently writing Emmalynns story (The miraculous healing of Emmalynn Upchurch)and I already wrote the short version of Raelyns story but here is there big sister Madelyns story I can’t write about her sisters without writing about her it’s just not fair. I wrote this when she was about 5 years old she will be turning 9 here on Feb 4th 1 day before Raelyns passing. This year will be hard but we will get through this as a family! Anyways here is Madelyns birth story.
