Hammer Blogs

    Well folks, this is the last week of the semester, which is SO happy, but also sad because I have really liked taking this class. I have also really enjoyed writing this blog. I have always really liked to write, but I've never really had the freedom to take a topic to where I wanted it to go in other courses. I have really enjoyed all that I have learned in class as I am preparing for marriage currently, this was a good time to take this course as I learned a lot about dating, courtship, engagement, marriage, and parenting. It's an exciting time in one's life, but also stressful. I'm really grateful that I got to participate in this class as it is all about real world things  and problems, and I can really apply what I've learned into my own life.       This last topic may be a little upsetting to end on, but it doesn't have to be. I think we're all aware that relationships are hard. Marriage and family can be hard at times. There's a lot of stres...

     I am just now realizing that this weeks blog is going to be about something tough. There are so many different ways and approaches to go about this in life, and no matter what, you're going to fail at something with it along the way and that is...parenting. Now, ever since I was a little girl I have always wanted to be a mom. As I watched my mom and other women around me, it just looked so fun. Family has always been the most important thing to me, my biggest priority, that's why I've always wanted to be a mom. To have a family of my own that I created. However, as I'm getting older, i'm realizing how incredibly hard and tiring it is. It's so fulfilling i'm sure, but a lot of guilt comes with it. It's also draining and confusing as every single child is different and expects and needs different things. The kids seem to always come first before anything else, and I'm sure that's tough on parents, but worth it, hopefully, at the end of the day...
