All MOMS WORK: ENDING THE “MOM LABELS”

All moms work

We have all heard the labels that mothers are given: SAHM, WAHM, Working Mom, Single Mom, PTA Mom, Homeschool Mom, Crunchy Mom, Breast-feeding Mom, Bottle-feeding Mom, Young Mom, Old Mom…I could go on and on, but you get the picture. As moms, we are labeled. Then comes all the “this label vs. this label.” When the whole truth of it is, we are just MOMS. If you are a mother, it doesn’t matter if you stay at home with your kids or work outside the home, YOU WORK! ALL MOMS WORK!

We don’t need the labels to prove what we do and don’t do. WE WORK HARD EVERYDAY. We are raising humans. What could be harder than that?  24/7 our mind is on our children. Our mental lists of our children’s meals, appts, school, projects, extra-curricular activities and more, is boundless. Our brains are constantly trying to keep up, while our bodies are doing all the physical demands that are needed to raise children. No one knows how hard we work, more than we do. [Read more…]

Childrens Cardiomyopathy

September is Pediatric Cardiomyopathy Awareness Month. One of the reason’s September was chosen, is because Pediatric Cardiomyopathy is also considered the “Back-to-School Silent Killer”. Some even call it the “death by exercise” disease. Many children suffer from it, with their parents and even doctors not knowing until it is too late. That is why there needs to be more awareness to prevent the worst.

Maybe you have never heard of cardiomyopathy. There was a time I had never heard of it either. Then there was this sudden moment, that my whole world was shaken by the cardiomyopathy diagnosis of my baby.

*NO COST* DIY Halloween Costumes for Moms

Double, double toil in trouble, it’s almost that time of year again…HALLOWEEN! Even though it’s on October 31st, we all seem to start celebrating it as soon as October gets here. From the decorations to the candy, trick-or-treating is quite a BIG DEAL. My kids start thinking of their costumes on November 1st. Of course, it usually changes several times before October rolls around, but they do a lot of planning. We have a tradition of walking the neighborhood with some very close friends. The neighborhood puts on a show of their own, from spooky décor to awesome props, it sure is night to remember.

To keep in the spirit of things, I always dress up with the kids. The thing is though, I don’t like spending money unnecessarily. To say the least, I am a really frugal person. I have yet to spend money on a costume for myself. I gathered some photos of costumes from the past five years to show you how easy it is to use what you have. Excuse the quality of the photos and the cheesy poses, when I took these I had no intention of sharing these with the world. Although, today I thought it would be a great idea to show other DIYers just how easy it is to dress up for Halloween using what you have. [Read more…]
