My soon to be 11 years old son, asked me what did I feel like when I became a mother for the 1st time. I told him that the whole World made sense once I holded him in my arms, I said that for the first time in a long time I wanted to live on and on so I could protect him and be by his side. I explained how the World suddenly became a brighter place and how I became a human shield for him. I swore I would do my best to keep him from some of the pains I had to go through. I felt blessed, I felt Go…

I like to believe there are fairies everywhere doing little things for mother Nature like coloring a flower, painting a rainbow, blowing wind our way and so on.... My 8 y/o daughter believes in them because although my mother always told me they weren't real I decided to keep the magic alive for her. I tell my daughter that fairies are little angels that take care of the little things in Nature, I te…

Few months ago I was asked to be a Girl Scout leader of a Juniors troop in the military community where we live in. I studied few books, went to some leaders-only meetings and scheduled my first meeting with the girls. Few days before the scheduled meeting the previous leader asked me to be my co-leader since she only had one girl in her troop (cadets) who was by the way her own daughter. I accepted her as the co-leader because I could use her experience and some help. I prepared a one hour meet…

My older son is 10 years old and next month will turn 11. This last year has meant a lot to me, both as a mother and as his friend. I have always believed that the only way to raise mature, intelligent children is by being open and sincere with them all the time, and it is for this reason that I’ve always tried to answer my children’s questions with nothing else than the truth no matter how hard it could seem. By the time he turned ten years old the sex questions started!
He knew how babies…

I need to vent about this or I'll explode. I'm shaking as I type this. I have an adopted brother who is 17 y/o he has done drugs and has gone as far as hitting my parents. He now lives with some girl who's by the way 23 y/o or something but before her there were two other girls. One of those previous girls had a child by him and now I just learned he got his new g/f pregnant and she is due in a couple of months. My parents, specially my mother want to control the way we view this situation. They…

I don't like the Gym, everytime I visit one I feel everybody looks at me as their own motivation to work even harder :-S so after I begun Weight Watchers and started seeing results I added Yoga and walking to my efforts. It has been good so far and I'm loving myself more by the day. I did stop walking though...but that's gonna change.
These last two weeks have been harder for some strange reason...probably PMS? Well I have ate like a pig but came back to my senses on time and now I have…

Hi everyone! I'm new here and this is my very first blog on this site. I have been married for almost 11 years next month and I'm SAHM of two beautiful children, 10 & 8 y/o. Being a mom is the most wonderful thing that has happened to me and I'm very proud of my tribe but being a mom took a lot from the woman I used to be. After having my second baby I only concentrated on my then newborn girl and my 2 yrs old boy..as well as hubby. I begun eating whenever I could but as a camel I saved ever…
