“I Am Just A MOM” (Sara's Blog)

It is very easy to project being an extraordinary mother, a good mother, a great mother and an even so-so mother. It is also very easy to show off Mother’s Day gifts and pose for pretty pictures with your kids. It’s even easier to hit the send button and post all those great images caught while you’re being a “mom”. As a single mother to my oldest daughter for the last 15 years, I have learned to cherish every minute with … Read more →

“What’s An Appropriate Age To Let Your Child Choose A Religion?” (Cuni's Commentary)

Religion, to me, is not just a weekend activity or something I only practice during the holidays or when times are tough. It’s a way of life. As a parent, it’s my duty to teach my children. My daughters are 5- and 3-years-old. That is WAY too young to be able to make a decision about religion, or much of anything really, other than maybe their favorite color. Just as I teach them the importance of good hygiene, of good manners, … Read more →

"It's Tough, But I Really Need To Change!" (Patrisia's Blog)

I’ve been a single mother for many years now. Yeah, I’ve had my novios. When I was younger, I also had 2 boyfriends who didn’t provide for my kids, so I still considered myself a single mom. Those relationships didn’t last, of course. After 6 years of being alone, and then dating the same guy for 4 years, we finally tied the knot! It was a lovely, simple wedding ceremony that he paid for all by himself. Even though we’re happy, … Read more →

It’s been a bittersweet beginning for me in 2012. I’m excited for the New Year and the new beginnings but I’m also saddened for a very dear family friend of mine. On December 31st, my close friend’s sister-in-law was shot and killed while standing outside of a New Year’s Eve house party. There was no motive for the crime and no witnesses. Sadly, her brother was the one who discovered her dying body in the street when he came to pick … Read more →

So, Thanksgiving has come and gone and no proposal during dinner from my guy. The holidays have passed and no ring as a gift. Even after the clock struck twelve to bring in the New Year, I still have no ring. Maybe for Valentine’s Day if I’m lucky, he’ll pop the question. Until then, I will continue to “convince” my guy of how “worthy” I am of becoming a wife. I will take into consideration all that he has told me … Read more →

He swore he wouldn’t do it again and I was naive enough to believe him. It started a month ago when my ex assaulted me at work and I got granted a restraining order. He went to jail for one whole day. The restraining order was broken as soon as he got out. I waited to say anything because it was just texts and everyone said it would be ok. It wasn’t two weeks later that I was sitting on my … Read more →
