You must walk, before you can run

My adorable little son is walking. The day I have dreaded. I once heard someone say, "Raising a child is a process, you teach them to crawl, help them walk, learning to ride a bike, school, graduation and so on. You hold their hand and help them up when they fall. So raising a child is a process of teaching them all of the ways to leave you behind." -Unknown

How true. He has yet to realize he must perfect walking before running. Which got me thinking, how true is that to every day life. We get caught up in our everyday life, we struggle and fall down. But we forget what our mothers taught us years ago, which is when you fall you must get back up. You also must slow down, and walk before you take off running.

When times get tough, remember what your mother taught you. With that said I must return to my little rascal.

Until next time.

oh the time does fly

It's been awhile. Which may reflect the trials of a new family. Now my son is 11 months old and this past year is an absolute blur! I lost the job I once had (which to all of you from the outside may view as negative) but when you find yourself with a new found family, you tend to adapt new found family values. My former employer didn't share such values, therefore I moved on.

Being a new mother seems to be the easy part of my life lately, not hurting his father is the hard part. I believe wholeheartedly the one thing capable of ruining even the most amazing relationship.... is finances. Our current situation has led to such problems and despite to few almost-bloodbathes, we have came out stronger.

Everyday is a struggle. There are highs and lows, and whether people show it or not everyone will eventually struggle. I am not afraid to show those struggles because I have learned at my new found job, people are placed in your life for a reason, jobs come and go, so do people. The job I have with the coworkers I was given are amazing support and encouragement. So don't hide your problems, bottle them up, instead find someone to confide in and they just might amaze you:)

Until next time my friends.
