My Daughter Wanted a Doll that Didn’t Look Like Her; Here’s How I Responded.

Happy Anniversary to Me!
One year ago, I began my journey into blogging seriously. So far, I have had good moments, bad moments, and moments that have truly taken my breath away. Being that I am a very humble person, I never imagined that I would have the reception that I have had on my blog. I figured I…
Being Emotional on a Saturday Afternoon….
Have you ever felt like you were just out there on your own private island, with no friends to talk to about what’s going on in your everyday, run-of-the-mill life? Yea. I’ve been there. I’m going to get a bit vulnerable and let a little of my personal feelings out in this post. I want…
