_____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________   By now you have probably seen/heard about Justin Bieber‘s newest tattoo addition to his beautiful baby face. I have read so many complaints about this tiny speck of a tattoo that I think that it is about time that I share my own with you.

Like most families, raising children who are very close in age can have its challenges. My children are 2 years apart and up until this point, we have been able to agree on most things….that was until my oldest (9) became a raging Mr Bossy Pants and my youngest (7) decided that whining all day makes for melody that would make anyone cringe. Most mornings are spent arguing over what to wear, how to wear it, whether or not breakfast is good enough to eat, whining and screaming – all…

I…

A Look Through His Eyes.

  Ever sit and wonder what goes on behind your child’s eyes? I mean, ever try to visualize the world that surrounds you through their simple, inquisitive nature that is life?     I had a vision, and it’s beautiful.

The sky was dark and the clouds set off a cool color to the earth below, and cookie giggled as we walked. He…
