Children: Our most valuable natural resource.

Baby Cuddles
We live in a culture that seems to believe that newborns need some form of independence. People seem to believe that you can hold a baby too much, cuddle them too much, and basically love them too much.

My Journey as a Mother Part 2
Motherhood is very difficult and I now understand how it can be difficult. However, I still think motherhood is worth the difficulty. I could not be prouder to have my daughter. Yes, sometimes I have those moments that I wish I could put her back, but I come to my senses and what mother does not feel this way from time to time?

I'm Scared For Today's Children. Top Story - March 2018.
No matter what generation you were born into, there has always been something to fear: war, poverty, kidnapping. However, as we fly through 2018 today, I can’t help but think there are so many things that make us fear for our children today.

Condition
Pain is a natural process and inevitable. One can not prevent being hurt. There are times in one's life some of us are subjected to harsh realities. Some of us are very unfortunate and are not born in the beautiful world of two parents, wealth, or gifted with the same opportunities as others. That’s not to say opportunities are not there for the less unfortunate because that is not the case. There are just several detours to get there first. Detours you ask? Let me explain.

What Changes When You Become a Mama?
What changes when you become a mama? Here is a fun post created for mamas to read, relate to, and possibly crack a smile or laugh thinking “that is so, so true.” You may be able to relate to a few of them or all of them! Six changes you encounter when becoming a mother are listed. Also, this piece can be informational for women who are considering having kids or expectant mothers! It gets you ready for what is to come and encourages you in knowing that you are not alone. You can think back to this article once your little human enters the world and remember that “this is normal.” I think the biggest lie we believe as mothers, women, and humans is that we are The Lone Ranger, struggling with a specific thing. What crap! I’m here to share a real, raw perspective on the life changes of becoming a mama. I try to keep my thoughts and page unfiltered and true. Here ya go!

Chapter 1: Untouched Innocence
Stage One: Mommy and Me I feel like meat. Packaged in a bag that says vegetarian. Never really myself, never really ready to be myself, always on guard, always trying.

Sleep? What Is That?
If there is one piece of advice I was given by everyone as I approached my due date it was, "Sleep when the baby sleeps." This seems like a logical suggestion. After all, you need to rest and you need to be awake to take care of your little one. But when you realize how much an infant sleeps, it becomes an impractical suggestion.

A Message from a Mom
There are a lot of things that we do not talk about as stay at home moms or moms in general, and there are also a lot of things that dads just do not understand.

Being a Mum in 2018
I stumbled across this platform on Facebook. "Write about what you love" it said. So I wondered what do I love, my girls are pretty cool, I have two... one is eight, one is tree, and they could not be more different.

We'll Need a Highchair Here...
I knew that becoming a parent was going to present some challenges. I think it’s naïve to assume otherwise. Some of these challenges were completely expected in that obviously the larger your family the more money it costs to support them.
