Parenting advice

Quality time is more important than quantity time you get with your child. When you spend quality time with your child turn off your phone. YES TURN OFF YOUR PHONE!! Watch a movie with your child, play a game, color, take them to the park, go on a walk, camp, just talk to them about their day, read to them, listen to music with them, have a picnic, take them bowling, and much more.
Eat dinner with you child with PHONE OFF. Sometimes we don't realize we spend more time on social media or on the phone until our kids bring it to our attention.
Teach them something. Show them how to help you do dishes, laundry, sweeping. Teach them how to cook or bake.  Make cookies together, cakes, or other food.
Let them help put the ingredients in so they feel like they are useful and helping.
Ask them how their day is going. Ask them about their friends. Ask them what they want to do or what they like. Ask what is bothering them.
Stay on top of these things. They grow up and you blink. You don't want to be known as you didn't do anything with your child who didn't go to school functions let alone spend time getting to know your child.
Sometimes we think we are busy when we can make time. Stop doing the laundry, dishes, and cleaning long enough to talk and spend time with your kid. Your cleaning will always be there. Spend time with child.

Stop giving the negative people attention

 Stop giving the negative people of the world so much attention.  Stop making negative people so famous for negative stuff. It's disgusting that the people who are doing horrible things are being given that attention. We as people see it in people's real lives and social media. Social media is where we need to start drawing the line. If we would take that attention away and ignored the bad behavior maybe just maybe they would see that it isn't good. People have turned negative into this is a social normal. It is not a social normal. Stop feeding the negative and toxic behavior. Stop saying it's normal.  I'd like to see more of you sharing people who are trying to succeed in life, build each other up, helping one another with small business or businesses, spreading love and light, helping people who are less fortunate, listening to others, being there for people who have depression, anxiety, PTSD,and much more.  So many could be successful if everyone supports everyo

Cursed House

  It's a dark stormy night this Halloween night. The clouds  are ominous.  You can feel the energy from the storm. 5 friends and me are staying in an abandoned house deep in the Bayou of Louisiana.  I had picked the place. My friends and I love spooky things. This year we are hoping for a good scare because last year we went to a cemetary and it was just a bunch of teenagers messing with us. We get to the abandoned house before it starts storming.  There is a fireplace in the living room and we light a fire to stay warm and cozy.  "Ari what is the plan?" my boyfriend asks. "I thought we would eat and check the house out after." My friends and I make sandwiches. We eat in the living room. While we are eating we hear kids laughing. We get up to see where it is coming from and find nothing.  It is  a big house you can get lost in because the house is made like a maze. "This house is strange," Joe says. "Did you know  it was made like a maze?&quo
