Welcome Back
I love being a teacher and learning new things. Sharing information and ideas is something I have always been passionate about - which is why I wanted to blog in the first place. It is time I reconnected with that why. I want to share what I have learned because I feel it is so important to continue to learn - for when we stop learning, we stop growing... Never stop growing.

See Your Children Through Their Eyes
Our perception of reality is based on our experiences. One needs to be able to see your children through their eyes to understand who they truly are. The way we see our children is based on our experiences in our life. The way we see them is not the way they see themselves. Infinite Versions of You I want to purpose an idea for you to ponder. It is the idea that there are an infinite number of versions of yourself. The way we exist, to ourselves, really only exists in our own minds. The way we are perceived by others is different than how we see ourselves and how…

LARGE FAMILY Mom Stopped Making FREEZER MEALS
I am a large family mom and I have stopped making freezer meals. Shocker, I know. Why would I do this? Aren’t easy freezer meals a lifesaver? Not anymore! I started making freezer meals when my eldest was diagnosed with a dairy allergy. At the time, there were no dairy-free convenience foods on the market. The world was just opening its eyes to the realization that food allergies and food sensitivities were in fact a real thing. Peanut allergy warnings and peanut-free items were just starting to hit the grocery store shelves but there was no gluten-free section, no intentionally dairy free/vegan processed foods.
