Social Media Effects

Social media could be the lead cause of suicide. Social media has been ruining the young for many years now and it is only getting worse. The youth are becoming more addicted to each social media and there are more and more platforms coming out all the time now. Social media practically ruined any kind of privacy people use to have and are ruining relationships or future job opportunities.

            It is important for the parents to realize that there is a problem with social media and to limit their children from the use of it. There is a lack of restraint among social media users and the legal guardians of such. Eliminating the use of social media could bring rebellion within the household but limitation with replacement of another activity could be very healthy for not only the child but for the entire family as a whole. There are scenarios where parents are not limiting their kids amount of time and dedication to social media because they are just as addicted to it as their kids are, if not worse. There have been multiple accounts where I have been out to dinner and I see the entire family sitting there on their phones on social media and only looking up to get a bite to eat. If children are limited their use of social media, we could have a lot of issues resolved for the children’s mental health and social interaction. read more

Easter Basket Ideas

As Easter approaches us quickly, I find myself asking what do you put into your children’s Easter Baskets?

I have always put candy, and usually some other small trinkets, toys, hair accessories, etc. This year, I find myself wanting to do something different. Two of my granddaughters are older, ages 10 and 11, and I would like to do something that they can use this as we go into Spring and Summer months.

Easter Baskets don’t have to cost a fortune. There are so many things that you can get at Dollar Tree, for $1 or less!! Check it out here!Easter At Dollar Tree – Everything Is Just $1 read more

Honoring Memorial Day

Happy Memorial Day Weekend

So as this weekend rolls around, I am trying to come up with some plans and I am reflecting on years passed and how we have celebrated Memorial Day in our family.

For my family, Memorial Day weekend has always revolved around my husband.  His birthday is the 27th of May which always falls on Memorial Day weekend.   So we usually do something fairly small, and do cake and/or ice cream for dad , and presents.   On very few occasions, he and I will celebrate and go to dinner alone, however more times than not, we get the kids together and grill out something..    read more

Be Kind

“BE KIND”…….It sounds so easy to do !!  What  a POWERFUL statement!!   I want to explain to you why these particular words are so important to me .

FASHION FRIDAY , BE SERIES TOPS FOR ONLY $15.95 W/ FREE SHIPPING USE CODE:  BESTORY    CLICK HERE 

I am a mom to 3 children and a Nana to 6 grandchildren, with 3 more grands on the way.  My theory as I was raising my own children, and now that I am raising my 2 older granddaughters has always been that you are ALWAYS Kind to others.   That doesn’t always mean others will be kind in return, however, we can only control who we are.  I am the first to admit, that can be a very challenging lesson to teach a child.    It begins when they are babies and we are teaching them to share their toys with other children, or even with us, as we get on the floor and play with them. read more
