Children: Our most valuable natural resource.

Hello!
If you're reading this, I apologise in advance for the adult content and profanity I may use. I promise this will be a "no holds barred" account of parenting and life in general from the prospective of an almost 30 year old mother of two and all the trials and tribulations it may throw at us. Some entries may be short, others not so much.

Let Them Judge, Just Shine Through!
"Eat less rice, and no oil at all. It avoids bloating and stomach uneasiness for the child. "Don't watch the TV for the first few months of breastfeeding, it has a negative impact on the child."

Mamas of Screamers
Have you ever heard someone say “My child never cried, he/she was such an easy baby?” I was once that woman before my second born. Now I want to punch my old self in the face (hehe). It’s almost as if everything I thought I knew about being a mother, completely waltzed out the door with my second baby. Realizing this VERY early on, I felt doomed.

Old Vintage Toys Modern Kids Would Like
There has probably been a time in everyone’s life when we decided to open our old toy box and thought to ourselves, “Man, I’m old!” The sight of all those old toys probably brings a whole lot of memories from your childhood. A toy box is filled with dreams that are dating from a time far away. But most of us probably have thought about how the new kids would view these toys. In a world filled with smartphones and flashy LCD screens, there is not a lot of room for old vintage stuff found in the attack. But which toys would still hold up today? What are the toys that your child would think about playing right now if it had the opportunity? Here are some examples of old vintage toys that modern kids would enjoy playing with.

Different. Not Less.
My son turned seven in August. He's in second grade. It's been eight months since he was "diagnosed." I always knew he was special. Extra smart. Had his little quirks that he had. Strange little habits he had. But nothing to odd. No big like "wow" eye opening things.

Daddy Issues
Since this is my first story I've ever written, I believe that it is only fair to me if I tell this horrific story of my father (who really isn't my father in any way but we will get into that) and all that he has done to me and my mom over the 20 years that I have had contact with him.

The Second Child. Top Story - October 2018.
Professionals, friends, family, fellow parents and even non-parents all have their opinions on when is the best time to have 'The Second Child', but really it all depends on you and your life. Every couple, every eldest child—every family is different.

Questioning Everything!
October 12, 2012 was the day I was waiting for for 39 weeks. The birth was uneventful and was over fairly quickly without complications. My son came into this world screaming and perfect. He looked like a grumpy old man that fell face first into a carpeted floor because of how fast I pushed him out. I was instantly in love with this tiny human.

A Child with TGA
I am one of many unknown parents whose child suffers from a congenital heart defect (CHD). There are many silent parents around us who have had to go through and are still going through this emotional experience.

My Best Friend
Everyone has heard of the wicked stepmother. What about the good stepmothers? The ones that actually love their step-kids and form bonds with them that extend beyond a friendship and into an actual parent-child relationship? I'm sure you're thinking, "They don't exist!"

A Mother's Worst Fear
I have never spoken out publicly about the details that are in this writing. And not all of it will be here. If I see enough support I will feel more comfortable and do an add on. But, I have felt the need/want to because, I know I am not the only parent or mother that goes through this or has been through what I have.
