Say What?

Hi Moms:

Albert Einstein said:

The world is a dangerous place to live;

not because of the people who are evil,

but because of the people who don’t

do anything about it.

 

So Moms, step up, speak up, stand up!

Disney Anniversary

Hi Moms:

Our family members are big Disney fans.  So we’re proud to announce this day in history, way back in 1928, Walt Disney's first sound-synchronized animated cartoon, "Steamboat Willie" starring Mickey Mouse, premiered in New York.  Check out the movie on-line; it’s less than 10 minutes; enjoy it with the family. Mickey never goes out of style!

Step in, Step up!

Hi Moms:
You are your child's first teacher and best advocate.  When your child gets your best, they will do their best!

The Right Stuff

Hi Moms:
I've been told:
Spend less time worrying who's right and more time deciding what's right.

Eyes Forward!

Hi Moms:

We hear it all the time, Don’t Text and Drive, but do you take it seriously? And using our cell phones isn’t the only way you lose focus on the road.

Distracted driving is eating while driving, putting on make-up, looking for something in your purse while behind the wheel.  Taking your eyes off the road for a few seconds can change your life forever.

Distracted driving is the #1 killer of people from 8 years to 24 years of age.

So put down the lipstick, eat your burger when you get home and no text is so important that you must send it while driving 55 mph down the highway.

Keep your eyes on the road and your hands on the wheel.

Begin @ Home

Hi Moms:
I was so honored and surprised to see my editorial printed in the In-Box section of the October 2014 issue of Essence Magazine - WOW! My comments came from an article titled Moms on the Front Lines where African-American Moms shared how they advocate in their communities. Here's what I wrote:
As a member of the National Parent Teacher Association's Communication Committee, it was awesome to see other African-American women in "Moms on the Front Lines".  However, you don't have to be on the national stage to make an impact.  Begin at home in your own backyard. Every little bit makes a big difference!

Stand Tall

Hi Moms:

I’ve noticed even in 2014, the definition of being a woman still has some blurred lines. It isn’t being meek and submissive to abuse and it’s not sexting nude pictures to your boyfriend.  Being a woman means showing confidence; self respect. It means letting people know what you stand for and what you won’t stand for.  Let’s show a positive example for our girls to follow.
