Finally...had enough...

Well...after years of discussions with family and friends...I have decided to start my own blog. There are times in which, there are things that are just to important to let slide. I plan on using this blog to address issues that relate to my small world. A typical family, parents with four children who are trying to navigate this world...in the best moral and ethical way possible.

I come from Alabama....where from a young age, I was taught respect for others, respect for others property, taught right from wrong, and actually had consequences when I made a poor choice.

I find myself now raising my children in one of the most liberal environments possible...just outside of Portland, Oregon. Here, I battle daily to instill in my children the things that I value most. A love for God and Country. Respect for their elders, respect for their teachers and respect for each other. I strive to instill in them self respect and individual worth and the knowledge that they can achieve great things. I want them to have civic pride and involvement, to serve others and to be a part of their community and understand what being a "citizen" means.

Many Oregonian's, I have found over the past 15 years of living here, have a difference of opinions when it comes to natural consequences for poor choices. I hope to use this blog to put out in front of all who read this....that consequences, boundaries, high expectations and love, are what our youth of today need to succeed.

Please feel free to visit often, I am sure with today's economy, forthcoming elections, and daily activities of just being a mom...I will have many things to post here....BECAUSE....

I AM A MOM FOR REAL CHANGE....A TRUE ANGRY MOTHER....WHO WANTS THE WORLD TO IMPROVE FOR HER CHILDREN AND FUTURE GENERATIONS!
