Hi all, my name is Nancy! First and foremost I am the proud mom of two boys. I’ve been in the childcare industry since 2003 and began blogging in 2017. Majority of my time is spent working, taking care of my boys and doing school work. However when I do have free time I enjoy reading, going to the beach or park and anything that involves the potential for my boys and I to have a good time.
Working in the childcare industry has allowed me to meet many parents throughout the years and I’ve learned about many different parenting styles. It has also taught me about children’s development and a lot of valuable information about nutrition. I’ve been able to use a lot of what I learned raising my own children and tweeking things as needed.
I look at parenting as a constant learning process. Once you’ve got one thing figured out (or so you think) something else pops up. I’m not looking to be the best mom out there I just want to be the best mom I can be. I want to give my children important life lessons and teach them how to be kind, responsible and independant humans. A lot of this begins with me and what kind of person I am since I am their role model. Even though I am still learning everyday I have to be conscious of the fact that I am also teaching my children everyday. How I respond to them is how they’ll respond to others, how I treat the environment they will also. I also want them to understand that just because we may not have much it doesn’t mean we can’t do much. Kindness is free, recycling is easy, if we don’t wear it or play with it anymore donate it. All of these little things and more make an impact in some way or another. Life is about celebrating all of your accomplishments big or small.
Here you’ll find stories about our daily life whether it be a trip to the zoo or grocery store. There will be good days and bad days, I hope that someone out there will read something I wrote and be able to relate. If I can even make one person feel as if they’re not alone in this journey than I will feel so successful. You will also find the ways my family and I are making changes that improve our way of life. These are changes that I am choosing and by no means wish to impose my thoughts or ideas on anyone they are just a way for me to document our journey.
This is also a judgement free zone. What works for me may not work for you but I welcome any and all comments and conversations on what does and doesn’t work for you as well. I want to build a community of people who support each other and lift each other up.
So thanks for coming I hope you enjoy your visit and that you’ll come back soon!
