Dear Mother, Your love has sheltered me like no other. I never knew how hard being a mother was until i had children of my own. Funny thing is, everyone tells me that my daughter acts just like me when i was younger. I know i got on your nerves a lot but being around you made me feel safe. you were my superhero, there was nothing you couldn’t do or wouldn’t do for me. I still think about you everyday. Even though you are off experiencing another beautiful life in heaven i can still feel your presence near me when i’m feeling alone and feeling like my back is against the wall. 13 was a very young age to lose you but you were very sick and at the time i didn’t understand the severity of your Lung cancer. As i got older i realized that you gave me the best 13 years of my life and there was nothing the doctors could do to help you heal. You always told me that when you left this earth that you will still always be here with me in spirit and if i looked up at the sky and saw the brightest star that it would be you. I often think back to the dishonest things I’ve done as a child and i laugh because my daughter does a lot of the things i use to do and i have to remind myself that you loved me regardless of the things i did and that’s why i appreciate you so much. There are a lot of children without mothers and i am grateful that i got a chance to experience life with mine. You were an amazing human being and everyone who has ever gotten the chance to meet you loved you from the moment they laid eyes on you. A single mother raising 4 kids on her own is not easy but you made it seem like nothing ever bothered you and you kept your composer in every situation. You are the best and I love you!

Love Always,
Your Baby Ton Ton

2 Simple Ways To Keep A Large Family Organized

millianthequeen

I have 4 kids and a husband, so its 6 of us total that live in our home. I’ll admit that when i walk into a grocery store with my children strangers automatically turn their heads to count how many children i have. I get questions like: I know you’re always tired or are you having anymore?

My husband and I planned on having a large family but one thing we didn’t expect was all of the different personalities and money spending that we would have to do.

People always ask how i do it. The truth is i just do. I’m kind of a big deal to my children, like a superhero, they come to me for everything. I guess part of me just wants to give them what they want to keep them calm .

  1. ORGANIZATION IS KEY I cannot tell you how many hours I’ve wasted due to miscommunication and a sheer lack of time management. There are days when i need to have at least two of my children in two different places at the same time and jugging between the other two changing diapers and cleaning up insane messes. All while i need to get dinner started. There were a lot of nights that interrupted into pure chaos. I’m not proud of some nights my kids eat convince foods. Due to the circumstances, sometimes that still happens, but at least its not planned.

In an attempt to bring some order to our lives, I’ve made a to-do list and glued it on a magnet and stuck it on the front of my fridge. I made this so throughout the day everyone will be on a schedule and i could have at least an hour or quiet calm kids. Everything that is supposed to get done that day has the time that i need to start and a checkbox next to it, to ensure that I’ve completed that specific task. I’ve learned that’s one easy way to stay organized.

EVERYONE NEEDS TO PITCH IN AROUND THE HOUSE Keeping up with the house is everyoes responsibility. A chore chart i a great tool to utilize to teach basic household responsibilities. Chore charts teach responsibility and help encourage kids to set goals. By linking responsibilities to privileges, we can reward responsible behavior and provide consequences when our children do not follow through. Untasted children are like ninjas. Mine are experts at sensing the moment i was about to ask them to do something. By the time i turned around they stealthy exited the room and were no where to be found. By holding each and everyone of them to a task
