Try not to lose yourself in motherhood, because you are more than just a mom. Remember the you before becoming a mom and take the time to do the things that you loved doing. Always schedule some time to yourself to enjoy being you.

Kids are masters at getting stubborn shoestring knots. To loosen them quickly, just sprinkle the knot with talcum powder.

Instead of punishing your child when he/or she shows signs of anger, frustration, or sadness; have your child list five things that make him/ or her happy and why. After they’re done with the list the child should have changed they’re state of mind to a positive one. This teaches your child how to control their emotions, and creates a positive environment for you and child.

A wise man once told me, he said; son, always say what you mean and do what you say you are going to do. Always do what's right, and then you won't be looking over your shoulder.
