What If My Child Wanted To Date Outside Of Their Race
Interracial dating is nothing new these days. No matter where you go, you will see an interracial couple. Heck, I remember growing up, and all the white girls who liked the few black boys in our town had to hide it. It was a major NO, No! If you’ve read my blog in the past, you know I’ve touched on Race In America. If you’re in my Facebook Group, you know I even do LIVES talking about Race. Hey, if we don’t have open, real and raw discussions, we will never grow as individuals nor as a society.

Don’t Be Guilted Into Parenthood
Do you remember playing house as a kid? You knew what you wanted to be when you grew up. Knew who your husband would be. And even knew where you would live. Yeah, you were going to live with your parents with your husband, two dogs, hamster, bird and pet pig. You also knew you wanted to have five kids. Or did you? Did/do you want kids?

A Mom’s Trip Down Memory Lane Of Toys For 3 Years Olds
As we explore our new neighborhood, I see a lot of little preschoolers. This got me thinking about all the fun toys my kids played with at this age. My mind goes into overdrive each and everyday thinking of all the favorite toys for 3 years olds. And of course, I had to ask my kids what their favorite toys were at age 3. I’m not sure if they really remembered or not, but they did chime in.

When Is The Best Time For My Child To Do Homework – Mid Year Burnout
We are more than halfway through the school year and let’s be honest. Our kids are beginning to check out. Heck! We are starting to check out. I usually last till Spring Break, but every day feels like Spring Break here in Hawaii. So, with the burnout, let’s think about the best time for my child to do homework. Did you see what I said there….MY, meaning you must figure out what works best for your home.

The iPhone Case Saved My Child
I have a tween daughter. If you have a tween son or daughter, I’m sure you understand the pain. And if you have a female tween you CAN REALLY relate. This child of mine is always complaining about not having easy access to her money at school or when she’s out and about. I found a great iPhone case for tweens and adults. The first day of middle school was last school year for my home. We were all excited and a bit nervous for The Softball Chef. But, her personality is just chill and low key. No worries in the world for her, well maybe an 89 on a…

Teaching Kids About Money With The Moonjar – Carlos Made It To Hawaii
There’s nothing like a smile on a child’s face when they’ve reached a goal. The Softball Chef, Equestrian Girl Forever and Fashion Diva Girl all had the biggest smile the day we said, “yes, Carlos will be joining us in Hawaii.” No, I wasn’t going to actually leave him, but we told the girls they had to help pay the fees to ship him here. The agreement was half. When families PCS (military move) there are costs associated with moving pets that must come out of our own pockets. There is also a process that happens depending on the country (in this case, we remained within the US, but Hawaii has…

I Was Scared, Shocked, and Unsure But None Of That Mattered…
MomJonz is excited to have a guest blogger. A DAD! Yes, let’s hear from Joel about his adventure into parenthood. Joel is a motivator, and I must say that he makes me rethink my purpose in life often. I’m 34 years old and for the…well…countless amount of times, I have a confession to make. Just like Darth Vader to Luke Skywalker, I am a father. This may not come as a shock to you but for someone who, up until his 30th birthday was still unsure as to whether or not he wanted to be one, it is a shock.

I Don’t Do Vomit Y’all
One thing MomJonz just can’t handle is a child vomiting. YUCK! I DON’T do vomit y’all! Sassy Frass came home from school with a note from her teacher stating she complained of being hot at the end of the day, but since she didn’t complain until the end of the day, there was no time for a visit to the nurse. Of course, this isn’t my first rodeo. Sassy Frass is my third child. So, I touched her forehead to see if she had a temperature and asked if she was ok. She stated that it was just hot in her class. So, we just went on with our day.

There Will Be Days Like This
It’s Spring Break and our plans were changed a bit due to hubby’s work. So I decided to schedule dentist and eye exams for everyone. We spent one day visiting the eye doctor and the other at the dentist. Everyone was cavity free. YAY! Today was our lazy day around the house, I’m a firm believer of rest (check out I Love Naps). No one rushed for breakfast and everyone just lounged around in PJ’s for most of the morning. Of course, there’s always that one child that needs to get completely dressed. My love bug came downstairs dolled up from head to toe. Then it happened, everyone started talking…
