Nanny to Mommy

The celebration of the century comes alive in Disney On Ice celebrates 100 Years of Magic! This monumental ice skating spectacular is coming to Infinite Energy Arena in Duluth from Thursday, April 25, through Sunday, April 28, 2019. Tickets are officially on sale now.

Audiences will be a part of the magic of Disney as Mouse-teer of Ceremonies Mickey Mouse leads a parade of more than 50 beloved characters starring Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Goofy and featuring an ensemble of Disney Princesses including Cinderella, Rapunzel, Ariel, Snow White and Tiana. The wintry wonderland of Disney’s Frozen also comes to life with Anna, Elsa, and the hilarious Olaf, as they discover that true love is the greatest magic of all.

I have two passions going into this parenting gig. The first is that I want my daughter to believe that she can be anything she wants as long as she works hard for it. Second, I want her to enjoy being a child as long as possible because time is fleeting. I still can't believe she turned eight in December. She loves playing outside with her friends, she loves school, she has enjoyed the extra curricular activities that we have joined, and she still love playing with dolls.

My daughter has received two different 19-inch dolls for Christmas that she loves, but they don't have the best quality to stand the test of time. So I wanted her to experience a real American Girl doll, like I had when I was younger, one that she could hopefully pass down to her daughter one day.

My daughter loves school and learning. I know that this isn't the case for all. My son just turned five and when he starts kindergarten next year, I know we will have our hands full especially when it comes to homework. But if you're child is like my son and school aged 2nd to 5th grade, I thought I would share our experience with a wonderful supplement to homeschool or at home tutoring program focusing on math.

They reached out to me before Christmas, but I was so slammed packed with Holiday Gift Guide stuff that I never got around to it. I wish I had sooner though because my daughter has absolutely LOVED this program! My daughter was in her class with another girl. The teacher was very nice and engaging. Here is our honest review of the program:

This post is written from the heart. These also could be signs you are with a toxic person in general. It all depends on how long you have been together and if they have changed over time. This post may be all over the place, but if you have any comments, questions, or suggestions, please leave me a comment below. I know I usually talk about the happy stuff and mostly my kids, but I wanted this to be addressed. Feel free to skip.

I'm not saying with counseling that things can't get fixed. I actually think you should try to fix something that is broken before just throwing it away. I understand that everyone has their breaking point. This list doesn't include cheating or physical abuse because those are not negotiable for me. Personally, infidelity is my absolute breaking point. Emotional or physical. There are real life stories from people on this list, but I was given permission to share, and the names have been changed to protect their identity.

Here are signs of an unhealthy marriage:
