I started watching Braxton Family Values on Netflix a few months ago and I love it.

I was watching the reunion show last week and something that Tamar (one of the sisters) said I thought was a great message to all women.

She said, "To all women, family, sisters - Be cautious of who you decide to be with because they can either make you stronger with your family or they can break your family apart. " What a true and profound statement that I agree with completely.

Since I was young I always said that my family came before any man, and I didn't have a family like the Braxton's. My husband would never separate or make me choose him or his family over mine - if he did, we wouldn't be together.

As a mother it takes a lot of time and hard work to raise your children to be close and continue that relationship into adulthood. I have no respect for any man that separates or breaks the family unit. In fact, I don't have any respect for the woman that allows it.

So choose wisely ladies if you value your family.

“No matter what you've done for yourself or for humanity, if you can't look back on having given love and attention to your own family, what have you really accomplished?” - Lee Iacocca

Happy Wednesday!

How's Your Sleep

OMG Facts tweeted yesterday that you can survive days without eating but will live 11 days from not sleeping.  http://www.omg-facts.com/  I'm teetering on being sleep deprived at the moment. My 2 year old granddaughter has been staying the night and she won't sleep in her room.  She is a 2 year old that is the height of most 4 year olds, and she sleeps horizontally. It's not bad the nights that I get her head in my chest, but when its a night of the feet and getting kicked... forget about it. No sleep! I did some research and of course there has always been pros and cons about children sleeping in the same bed. Dr. Phil is opposed to it  - one of his reasons is it can cause regressive behavior.  http://drphil.com/articles/article/114  Personally I disagree - I loved having my kids by me and saw no side effects from it. They knew that they were always welcome in my bed, so naturally the same rule goes for the grandkids. It's just this is the first time h...

I left early this morning to get some shopping done, and I have to be honest - not ready to be sold on Christmas  I know it's the way retail works - I put many years into that industry, but I truly hate how overly commercialized Christmas is. They brainwash people and kids into thinking they have to have the newest and best of everything, and most people buy into the lie.  But what about the kids that their parents can't fall into the trap because financially they just can't do it. Are they made fun of or shunned by their peers because they don't have the newest clothes, gadgets, or toys?  Do they feel inferior or not worthy enough to receive - according to the advertisers you have to have it. It's not fair or right and I hate it!                                                               I think we all need to ...
