To The Mothers Who DON'T Have it All Together!

Thank You For Your Imperfection

To The Mothers Who DON'T Have it All Together!

This is dedicated to all the mothers who feel they just can't get their stuff together. Whether being a single mother, one with a disability, a very hectic job, struggling with inner demons or anything else. I just want to remind you and encourage you to keep pressing, keep pushing and keep loving because your kids love you, in spite of you.

Along with being a product of a single parent household, I have read many posts, blogs and watched many videos lately (one I will post below) about how mothers are feeling inadequate.

So I write this letter to the mothers who don't have it all together.

Dear you,

We have heard you cry, doubt yourself about how you raise us, but we want you to know we love you. See, we understand that you may not feel you have it together but let us reassure you, we don't care. Nobody does, no one is perfect and even God says perfection has limitations, so thank you for not being perfect. Thank you for showing us realness, for making mistakes and realizing it is okay. Thank you for showing us how life happens and thank you for showing us its okay to be who we are. You do not only clothe us, feed us and provide shelter. Oh, no, you love us far beyond measure, a love God himself handcrafted as we formed in your belly. You are timeless, gentle yet possess the power to destroy anything and anyone who dares hurt us. Please stop doubting yourself, because we know you are doing the best you can with what you can. We know sometimes we don't make things easier but thank you for never giving up on us and being the pillar of our home. Without you we probably wouldn't even know how to tie our shoes (lol), just to say you make a bigger impact than you think. So please remember when you are feeling you are failing as our mom, you will always be our superwoman.

Sincerely,

The Kids

With this, I just want to say thank you to all the imperfect mothers, you women are amazingly strong. Without you, a lot of us would not be who we are today. Thank you for being you.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
