Well they say sometimes some of the cutest things come out of children’s mouths. Well, I witnessed it first hand as I was visiting with my daughter about good skin care and preventing breakouts, etc. Ok, it may be a little silly considering she is only 7, but we had seen a lady who had many breakouts (I actually believe…

Sometimes we need to say, “I am sorry”…
For most of us, our natural inclination is to move forward and blame. It is so hard to step backwards and just apologize. A huge lump in our throat can appear because it even feels uncomfortable saying. This is why I think it so much safer to become a better listener. We have time to really think about what we…
“When I am in pain, you are there for me.”
As I was dropping off my 2nd grader today at school, we exchanged, “I love you’s”, and then she said, “Thank you Mom for being there for me when I am in pain.” AWE my heart felt like someone had poured some warm syrup on my melting heart!

Shut up old lady!
I have been so proud of my son as he is learning such great manners and it is truly music to this Mom’s ears when I hear, “Yes, ma’am”, “No sir”, and so forth. I can stand a little taller knowing my constant efforts for good manners are paying off. The other thing that I have been so proud…
Labor of Love…
Labor Day honors the American labor movement and the contributions that workers have made to the strength, prosperity and well-being of the country. Well, Mom, how about the labor of love?
