Being Real: Stay at Home Mom

Relationships: Her Family (Part Two)

Girls tend to be closer to their families than men, especially if she is a daddy’s girl. While this strong relationship is wonderful and important, there comes a time where daddy’s girl has to put another man first.

Relationships: Her Family (Part One)

There is a saying about married children that I believe to be somewhat true because women are wired differently than men. “A son is a son til he takes him a wife, but a daughter is a daughter for the rest of her life.”   I don’t typically write posts geared towards men, but to […]
