“Don’t be a Tattle Tongue!” His little face was fierce with 4-year-old seriousness. My daughter looked at him, cocked her head, and rolled over laughing. What was a Tattle Tongue? My friend, this little mans mom, explained that she had no idea what a “Tattle Tongue” was either until one of her son’s daycare providers…

Her Survival
Understanding another person’s struggle or situation is difficult if you have nothing to compare it to. If you have never experienced anything like it yourself and have no way of knowing what they are going through. But to be completely blind to their struggle? To not care? That is where my blood begins to boil….
Ignorance out of Fear
Bringing awareness to difficult issues is very important to me. I believe in speaking up and speaking out! I also think change is an important part of our lives and our growth. But I understand change is scary. I know that anything different, or unusual can be frightening. There is a fear of the unknown…
My Mind Was Changed
As children my brother and I were babysat in the homes of other families. No daycare centres, no circle times, and no set activities provided to assist us in our development.

Pin ItSummer has been F-U-N
Wide grins, loud squeals, and calls for mommy flow through the park, repeat at the mall, echo off the walls at the grocery store. These squeals used to bring a smile and a glace, nothing more. But now the voices and huge smiles are calling for me. And I can’t get to them fast…
The Bedtime Dance
This weeks Vlog Talk prompt spoke to me! It said “hey! Tell the world what annoys you about your child!” So I said, I’ll do it! And then I felt guilty because that’s what moms do. We feel guilty for having feelings other than absolute love and adoration for our offspring. But… That didn’t…
