Children: Our most valuable natural resource.
They stole them with my love
It was the end of July before I was able to see the children again. I was at the county building with bells on. I was so excited to see them; I have missed them so much. Before they even brought them into the room, Ms. McGross took me into her office and proceeded to tell me that AareOna has some bruises and swelling on her face. She said that another little foster boy had some anger issues and took them out on my daughter. I was upset by this. What mother would not be? She led me back to the visiting room without saying another word.

The Magic of Holiday Card Outtakes
Ahhh, Christmas card photos… the one picture you take that either serves as a highlight for the year, or a window into the chaos of real life. As 2020’s holiday season hits its peak, I realized I didn’t do a Christmas photo to commemorate this year. Maybe I’ll snap a few cute pictures of my dog and surly teens on the holiday to post on social media, but I didn’t even think of a Christmas photo this year. Who wants to commemorate this period of time that feels like the last semester of clown college?

Compassion of a Two Year Old
In this ever growing world we do not see a lot of compassion towards one another. When we do, it is rare and a shame we do not see it often. It takes parents, and grandparents, even aunts and uncles to help young children learn to value another. At some point we all lose sight of it.

2020-The Big One
I get it. Life sucks right now. I'm not even going to try to sugar coat that shit. Between homeschooling, and working from home, most of the time simultaneously. It's not uncommon to be in a meeting with a colleague, and a kiddo runs around naked and/or screaming "MAMA MAMA POOOOOP POOOOOP!!" 2020 sucks THE BIG ONE. There I said it again. SUCKS.S-U-C-K-S. And then as if it can't get any worse, our kids suffer physical contact with friends. No high 5's, no hugs, no playing tag or any contact game/sport.

Toddler Life
My kids make every day crazy fun. There was a moment that I stood to the side, and listened to my boys play. Apparently on this faithful day Billy the Blue Power Ranger toy had to rescue the mermaid from Miles spider man, and Spider-man had to decide what team he was going to fight on. Now I listened to this adventure for a good minute, even their sister got involved because well they was playing with her toy.

Kids toys-the joy of your children
The biggest treasure of any parent in the world is his or her children. If your kids are your treasure it is your duty to take care of their happiness and make sure that their satisfaction is guaranteed. It is also every parent wish to see his or her kids happy and this can be granted by providing your children with kids’ toys. Children are mostly contented and joyous during playtime. Kids’ toys allow children to focus more and play more creatively as they grow.

I'm Thankful For The Diagnosis
The moment Dr. Cormier let the words "autism" come out of his mouth completely unfiltered, my brain struggled to understand so many things. I knew my son was different, but I never knew his short journey on Earth would open my eyes in a world most people take for granted. From the moment he was born he was destined for greatness. We chose the name Gatsby because we wanted him to be remembered, and he has made an impact on those around him on a daily basis.

Is It Weird to Regift Toys My Kids Don't Want to My Ex's Girlfriend's Children?
Although it's December, I've been doing some spring cleaning. In cleaning out my bedroom and my kids' room, I've found a lot of toys that my boys don't want. These toys are still in their packaging. Mostly these are gifts that my sons received for their birthdays from their friends. They opened the gift wrapping, took one look at the toys, and said nah.

Virtual Hell
The real live struggle of "Virtual Schooling." Yes, I am another person speaking on how this year has been an overwhelming experience. It's like you're dealing with a child that is going through terrible twos and still have teeth trying to come in, "A Nightmare." For those of you who have experienced it you know exactly what I mean and what frustrations that brings for both the child and the parent. For those of you who haven't felt that hand full of crazy I feel mildly jealous.
