Like most mothers, there's probably nothing you wouldn't do for your children. If you want to set your child up in a way that allows them to experience success in their lives, it's important to take a proactive role. You don't want to be that parent who is overbearing and strict. However, you do need to be intentional about the way you approach their upbringing, routines and more. You don't want to wait until your children are in middle school before you start taking their future seriously. Start while they're really young. After all, the years will fly by quickly.

It was every parent's wish to see their children happy beyond material things that we could give them. So we went around inside and rode all the rides that want including the Up up and Away . He was telling me non-stop while we were on queue, "Mama, this is the bes...
I know this topic often gets debated over mommy groups and a lot of mommies have different views about this. Much like Scary Mommy, we stand naked in front our our children. WHY? Okay first, before you raise your brows on me, I would like to cite our reasons. This was a mutual decision between me and baby daddy so… Our body is a natural thing; it is something given to us by God that we have to cherish it. We want the kids to feel comfortable about themselves and about their body and the way to do it is how we normally do it at home. We go take a bath and dress up and also our kids and not minding we stand naked in front of them--think of Adam and Eve and the creation in the Bible. FEED THE CURIOUS MIND. When kids start to ask questions like why, how and what, that is the right time to educate them about the anatomy and physiology of our body.
