The New House Game

Single Professional Mother

By: Mia L. Hazlett 1/13/14 What do I hear when I hear my children play House and use their imaginations? I hear them use their imaginations when it comes to role-playing the man in their “house”.

To My Daughters’ Boyfriend

Single Professional Mother

By: Mia L. Hazlett 3/19/13 Dear Boyfriend, I like you, I really do. The manner in which you carry yourself shows me you take pride in yourself without exhibiting arrogance, a rare quality to find in a young man at the tender age of 19.
