The Fun Part of Finding a Forever Pet
Let me start by saying that adopting from your local shelter is awesome! So many places don't offer no-kill shelters, so if those pets don't get adopted by a loving family, they are killed and then they don't get the life they deserve. It's a harsh reality of what happens when people choose to buy a dog or cat or whatever from someone selling it on Facebook Marketplace or in one of the many group chats. Yes, all animals deserve a good home and a loving family to have in their lives; however, people go and spend $500 or more on a dog that was a creation from someone getting dogs to breed and sell. Only for that purpose. But why keep putting money into the pockets of others when you can go down to your local shelter and adopt a pet instead?

The Hardest Experience I've Had
“If you can't explain it to a six year old, you don't understand it yourself.” ~Albert Einstein Middle-childhood. Six year olds. I understand very little of what comes out of their mouths. It takes a great concentrated effort to untangle the day’s happenings from the truths, half-truths, sensitivities, and general understanding of the sequences of life.

Play and Leisure
Play and leisure is a key part of a child’s development. They learn through play and leisure; it helps their imagination grow and their social, emotional, intellectual and communication development will blossom. They will learn what works and what doesn’t in certain activities by simply doing it themselves. Role play helps to build on their imagination and social skills whereas they will play together and make friends, all of this will increase their self-esteem also.

Kids: The Calming Peace and Complete Chaos
Kids, ya love 'em, then you also hate 'em at times too. It's kinda of a love/hate relationship ya know? One minute they can be Heaven's God-sent angels and then another minute they are the spawn of Satan himself. They are so lovable but they test you. And make you realize how much you can hate being a mom in moments. Motherhood really sucks at times.

The "Other" Side of Step Parenting
Let’s face it… Parenting is not easy. I must hear that in some form or another at least once a week if not more. Now I do not entirely disagree, there are sometimes when it is difficult but I was blessed with a very easy going, smart and helpful daughter, who is now 11. Sometimes I have so much on my to-do list and all she wants to to “do something” with me. Sometimes she gets sick at very inconvenient times. Sometimes dealing with her father, my ex, is not fun, BUT all in all, I do not believe parenting is hard. In fact it is easy and fun and one of the things I know I was meant to do in my life.
