Bio
Being a wife and parent of one boy has been my hardest job yet and after seeking many ways of being a better parent I feel I am finally on the right path. I enjoy sharing what I have learned with other parents which is why I write about it.

The Importance of Parents & Consistency
What happens when you and your partner do not agree on how to parent your children? This is a tough one, but also a very important one. My husband and I come from two very different upbringings. His with two parents and six other siblings. Mine with divorced parents, many step-parents, and siblings but raised apart and only together at certain times of the year. Coming together as parents can be very difficult but very crucial to your children's development. My husband and I are still working on this and it's honestly been the main topic of disagreements for us. We rarely argue, but if there is a disagreement this is usually the reason. We don't realize it at times but we were continuously battling each other and hurting one another's feelings almost daily because of this.

You Are Not Perfect Parents
Let's be real, every parent wants to be the perfect parent for their children, however, you almost instantly realize no such parent exists. Being a parent is a HARD JOB, the hardest job I personally have ever had. When you start your journey or unpaid career as a parent you don't have a Bachelor's Degree going in. There is no schooling for being a parent, sure there are plenty of books, believe me, I have read them and still do. Until you give birth and become a parent, your true education doesn't start until you are on the job. I am so extremely thankful for the many books to assist with the ups and downs and the "Oh no, what do I do now?" moments as a parent.
