"a" is for AUTHENTICITY

I am going to change it up a bit. I will start at "a" and end with "z". I will have a new post everyday for the next 26 days. Also - I am going to start being completely honest in everything I write. I will share the good, the bad and the ugly about parenting and/or my life. I will also share regrets, hopes and dreams for me and my family.

***NOTE:  I LOVE MY HUSBAND. I LOVE MY KIDS. I LOVE MY DOGS. THEY ARE MY LIFE AND I WOULD DO ANYTHING FOR THEM. ALTHOUGH I MAY SAY THINGS THAT WOULD MAKE YOU DOUBT IT - PLEASE REMEMBER THE ABOVE STATEMENTS!!! 
 

Authentic: genuine and original, as opposed to being a fake or reproduction.

Being authentic is, in my opinion, one of the greatest qualities a person can have. 

I hope that Kaleb and Adelynn grow up to be THEIR own person, not followers. 

There are several things that I read that reiterates how very important it is to 

let your children express themselves (with obvious limits). 

If your interested check this article, I came across

it when i was trying to learn new/better ways to parent. 

This has been a recent goal of mine and I intend to do everything I can 

to help/teach my children to ALWAYS be their authentic self. This can also

apply to a family unit - which is just as important. 

our family
