Dear Moms

 Dear Moms, It has been a doozie!  Is it not always a damned doozie when I go MIA? I always have some cockamamie excuse, reason, or something! I have got to do better! Who's gonna help keep me accountable? Don't all raise your hands at once! But, for real, I need Accountability Mamas!  Those mamas that will call my ass out and be like, "Where's the blog, Broad?!" Yeah, I need a little aggression 😉 Either way, I am on TikTok: @Unmarried_But_Not_Unhappy and Instagram: @easypeasymommymeals. Get in my inbox and demand content!

Play is a natural way for children to learn and experiment with their environment, and it helps to encourage positive behavior and develop social skills. In order to teach children about sharing, cooperative play is one of t...

Dear Moms,  Do your kids looove to paint or draw? Do they scribble on any scrap of paper they can get their little hands on? Do you find doodles in the margins of books?! What do you do once you have amassed a ton of your little Picasso's "creations?" I had this conversation earlier today with a friend of mine on Facebook. She was speaking on how her son's artwork was beginning to kind of 'overrun' their home... you know- he loves to create and you, "don't want to discourage the creativity or stifle their freedom of expression- but the fridge is only so big and we're REALLY not trying to to incorporate the evolution of your artistry into the overall decor of the house" vibe? 🤷🏾‍♀️ So, I commented that I too had gone through this with my four. I used to keep all of their at home drawings, anything they made at school, and  daycare, church, church camp, the birthday party they went to two, five,72 weeks ago... it was becoming an unruly mess n...
