I was a proud mama last Thursday. Last Thursday is the day that Tyler performed with his school's band for the first time. I couldn't be more prouder of him. This his first time in band. He has always expressed interest in music. He had a little drum that he would bang on when he was little. Unfortunately he wasn't able to join band until this year. He spent all week talking about it and he was so excited. I just knew I had to be there to see my :: Keep Reading ::
He’s A Teenager Now And I’m Scared
Last Friday Tyler officially became a teenager. I am thrilled, scared, and sad at the same time. Him becoming a teenager has so many meanings to me.

We actually made them 3 days later. One night we were just sitting at home and the kids asked to make them. So we :: Keep Reading ::
Encouraging Individuality
I knew that when Tyler and Nishe' entered school that they would have challenges with keeping up with the latest style. We have never been the type of parents who bought what was in. I don't think style or wearing what's in even became a issue until they each reached about 5th grade. When I say an issue I mean when kids start noticing what they were wearing. The Husband and I always encourage our children to wear what they like and not :: Keep Reading ::
