Hey, it’s Jenn. Having fun digging through all your posts! Some really great stuff K! Really enjoying it! Have a gander at mine though I warn you, it’s kind of a big mess. I still don’t know what to do with my blog, what kind of theme I should have, etc. And I haven’t yet let hubby loose on redesigning but that will happen shortly. Ok, stopping the procrastination. Back to work for me. Lots of love, Jenn ps. I’ll add you to my blogroll! pps. You need to keep writing!

Comment on Is There Anything on This Earth NOT Blamed on ‘The Mother’? by SwedishJenn

Amen sister! Well written. You are absolutely right about the socioeconomic factors playing a huge role in obesity. Mothers who can only afford cans of ravioli vs. those who have the time and money to serve chicken breast are at a significant disadvantage and it is sad.

I too would absolutely LOVE to see an article written about the benefits to children whose Moms are part of the workforce.

I too am tired of feeling guilty for needing/wanting to work.

Comment on Terrible 2’s by writesome

I’m taking a parenting class through IWK Mental Health. The book we follow is “The Incredible Years”. Stickers work and it’s not bribery, it’s motivating through tangible rewards. Have no fear, it will pass and if she needs you at night, what a great gift of special time. You can’t spoil a child with attention, praise and teaching them to reach new goals. My guys have finally moved to their own beds and they are 6 and 7. I miss them and our evening snuggle and giggle time. I am glad though to have my bed back and to not be sleeping in the bunkbed.

Sounds like you are working it out Mama. Good luck!

Can you say goosebumps. I’m thinking I have a few fences to mend from my past.

You’re right about “takes one to know one”. Sometimes what we see wrong in others is something we want to change about ourselves. I noticed this a long time ago and by the f*ck I’m almost “pefect” now.

Vent away, my friend, I’ll be watching for it!

Comment on Blessings For Abby by writesome

Many blessing to Abby. Just saw the photos and witnessed the love. The day my children were baptized, I felt a peace within me, knowing the reconnection was made. They are so close to God when they arrive you can barely believe they are all yours. The baptism is like a new starting point. Like you say to God, thank you, may I keep her, and God says, yes you may, with my blessing.

Bask in the glory!

You are so right Momma. I like to think not of what people have done, or not done, but how I would feel if they were no longer here. That doesn’t mean I don’t get mad, it just adds perspective to that pissed-off feeling.

Sending hope with a dash of wisdom. Thanks for sharing this.
