The side effects of pregnancy sure can play havoc on a body and the sad thing is they never go away! I wish I would have paid better attention to what other moms said before having my four babies to mentally prepare myself, but how do you really understand until you go through it? However, you know what? I would go through it all again!

Well, let me tell you I was so not prepared when my girls came to me to ask about how babies were made. Literally I was in the bathroom cleaning and they both came in and I thought “gah”!! I don’t know if I want to tell you this!! But now a days kids are learning about this subject younger and younger and I didn’t want them to hear anything from school or friends first. I want them to hear the truth and understand everything. I did make some rookie mistakes as you can tell from the pictures that I secretly took while I was telling them! Aren’t they amazing!? HA!

I experienced some kind and considerate people today and it was awesome! When I went into a convenience store a young man ran to the door to keep it open for me. My immediate thought as I thanked him was, “his parents taught him well”. Then when leaving the store with my hands full of drinks a sweet teenage girl helped me with the door and another gentleman wanted to help me open my car door. I left feeling a little lighter and it simply made my day. After that experience I thought, “Am I looking outside myself to be considerate of others like these kind people or am I living in my own little world?” I hope my first instincts would be to help or offer a kind word, however, I do think that sometimes we get so busy or in a hurry that we forget the kindnesses of life; the immediate things we can do to make someone’s day a little brighter.

Hello Fellow Parents!
I want to make sure you know that I am not any sort of expert on how you should love your kids and the things we should be doing or not doing, or whatever, to raise our children to be mature, responsible, and loving members of society. But, I wanted to share a resource that I just found out about and thought someone out there could use it like I could. You have heard about the “5 Love Languages For Relationships”, but did you know that there is now a book for children and teenagers?
