TSP Show #16 - Can Co-parenting Really Work?

LISTEN TO SHOW #16

In this show we talk about co-parenting. Ideally, when parents separate/divorce it would be nice if they could put aside their personal feelings towards one another and continue to both parent (co-parent) the child(ren). I believe in every case it’s possible (unless the other parent is a legitimate psycho and sometimes they are - no pun intended), but I’m speaking of sane parents - it’s possible to leave you personal feelings at the door and make the child(ren) the priority and co-parent if you want to.

TSP Show #15 - Parenting is HARD: Things Your Mom Never Told You

Listen to Show #15

WOW!! What a crazy school year this has been. I am more than happy to see it end. This has been the toughest year for me and the kids. It seemed like something was going on every second, but we made it through.

If you’ve been experiencing some rough parenting moments, let us know how you got through them. No one said parenting was easy, but my mama never told me it would be this hard—jeeeeezzzzz.

Girl Scouts Rule the World: Babygirl bridges from Junior to Cadet

Sunday, June 1 my babygirl bridged up from Junior to Cadet. I love the Girl Scouts because it is one of the few organizations where every girl can join for a mere $10 and can really be a part of something special. I was a brownie when I was a kid. Girl Scouts teaches girls how to be leaders, how to be a productive member in society, how to play an active role in their community and how to live each day upholding the utmost respect for themselves and others. I have such a deep respect, love and admiration for this organization. If you are a parent of girls and do not have them in Girl Scouts, I highly recommend you look into it.
