By: Mia L. Hazlett Date: 1/27/13 Hello my precious daughters. What makes the world go 'round? Money. I hate to say it darlings, but money makes the world go round. The thing is my ladies, being financially responsible will get you far in life. It won’t eliminate all of your problems. Obstacles will still block… Continue reading Money, Money, Money!

It’s Your Fault, Not the Schools
By: Mia L. Hazlett 6/7/2012 So I've been looking into moving closer to Boston. But to move is not as simple as finding a place and moving there. My number one concern as a parent of two school-aged children is a "good" school system. Now why "good"? Because I don't leave it on the school… Continue reading It’s Your Fault, Not the Schools
Proud Momma
By: Mia L. Hazlett 5/18/12 http://wareham-ma.villagesoup.com/news/story/ipads-get-students-excited-about-learning/822457 I believe as you raise your children, there will always come a point in your life when you question yourself. Did I do this right? Did I do that right? Should I not have done this and that? Or at least I do. One of the areas I… Continue reading Proud Momma
Your Son is NOT Your Man!
By: Mia L. Hazlett 5/11/12 I ran into the store the other day and there was this woman who deserved to get smacked out of this world! Her son was maybe 4 or 5 years-old and she said, "This is my little man right here. He takes good care of his momma." What in the… Continue reading Your Son is NOT Your Man!
I HAD A KID, NOT A ROBOT!
By: Mia L. Hazlett 5/9/12 http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/headlines/2012/05/first-grader-suspended-for-singing-im-sexy-and-i-know-it/ I was talking with my BFF yesterday and couldn't believe what she told me. I was telling her how my daughters had made up a dance to "I'm Sexy and I Know It," by LMFAO. I don't particularly care for the song. I basically listen to my iPod in… Continue reading I HAD A KID, NOT A ROBOT!
My Roof, My Rules!
By: Mia L. Hazlett 4/27/12 I was watching this movie called Trust the other night. It's by David Schwimmer and it was excellent. It was about a teen (maybe 14 or 15) who was texting back and forth with a "boy" she met on-line. They finally agreed to meet and it ended up being a… Continue reading My Roof, My Rules!
Stupid Parents say Stupid Things
By: Mia L. Hazlett 4/27/2012 Unfortunately kids don't come with directions and you don't have to have a license to have one. A stupid person can go ahead and have a baby. In fact, two stupid people can conceive a child or two or three or.... When I say stupid, I mean they lack all… Continue reading Stupid Parents say Stupid Things
I’m So ANGRY!!
By: Mia L. Hazlett 3/13/12 One of the things I've learned about my kids, they are people. They are exactly like us adults when it comes to their emotions, they just require much more guidance with their emotional expression (so do some adults for that matter). When I was a first-time mom, this was one… Continue reading I’m So ANGRY!!
Respect Your Elders
By: Mia L. Hazlett 3/2/12 How many of us heard this saying growing up, “Respect your elders?” I can’t exactly remember how old I was the first time I heard this, but I remember by whom and the exact situation. I was lucky enough to have gone to work with my grandmother at the floral… Continue reading Respect Your Elders
BFF…Not!
By: Mia L. Hazlett 2/28/12 So I'm coming down with a cold and the only thing I wanted to do tonight was come home and go to sleep. I did the mommy thing and my oldest came up to me with a frown around bedtime. From behind her back she pulled out a bracelet she… Continue reading BFF…Not!
