Influence is greater than Force

**Well, that was a fail. ** 🤷🏾‍♀️ Its a rainy day in Atlanta and I just got back from storytime with my three year old son, and the sentence above pretty much sums up my initial feelings about it. When we first got into the room, things were cool. We were early, so story time […]

Say Deuces to Your Detrimental Feelings

Y’all. Yesterday was such a struggle with my three-year-old. My husband and I have been talking about having another one soon, and today I was starting to wonder if I even wanted any more kids at all. Yes. It got bad. So what had happened was…he peed on the floor. *face palm* and…wait for it… […]
