So, while I was at a mommy meetup group today with my kids, one of the moms said she heard that having 3 kids is easier than having just 2. I almost spit my water out, after hearing this nonsense! I told her that was a lie. I have 3 and can tell you it isn’t easier. You are outnumbered! That means, one of you has 2 and the other has 1! Maybe when they get older, it gets easier? But I ...

Creating a meal schedule for your child can be a difficult task. I often felt I left the doctor’s office with little answers. Like all mothers, I wanted Hadley to enjoy a variety of foods. When she first began solids, I did make her food and supplement with packets when needed. Around 8 months, she started to grow tired of my food and I did rely heavily on the puree pouches and other store bought ... Read More »
When I first started blogging, I thought I should write a full story of my life. Then I thought I should write all of my thoughts. After a few years, I know that my orientation about blogging was changing! Blogging is about keeping my working portfolios. I’ve been a blogger since 2009, and now when I read my old posts, they make “aha” moments. From the old posts I know when I mastering certa... Read More »
I like to think of myself as a very positive person, however I have a very bad habit that I have recently discovered as pointed out by my wife. Apparently, I have a regular tendency to convey my negative displeasure toward a situation, item or nature of the environment in the present. Simply put: I bitch a lot. Since my wife so delicately pointed this out to me several months ago, I have been ca... Read More »

I’m doing a challenge to blog every day in May. Today’s prompt is “The story of your life in 250 words or less.” I don’t know how to fit 33 years into 250 words, but here goes: I grew up a poor black child….. no wait, that was Steve Martin in The Jerk. Okay okay. I can try to be serious for like five minutes. I’ve never been good at talking about my life. Confusing, I know, because I blog, but I b... Read More »
Hi all! I’m Nicole. I’ve contemplated for days and weeks just how I would write my story. I’ve felt guilty and convinced myself how wrong it could be telling the world about the ugly life I lived. It wasn’t until today, that I realized my story may help someone, including myself, as I begin my long journey of letting go. I hope you can too. I wasn’t even sure how I wo... Read More »
I just wanted to comment on how the weather can affect our moods. I am so happy to finally be digging out of the longest winter in history… I might be stretching that a bit, but I’m just saying that it’s almost over!!!! I notice that when the sun is out, it gives me such energy and drive for the day! So, shine on and have a great day!! Anyone also notice how that little yellow ba... Read More »
