Parenting – Ariel Pierce

Period.

I remember all the tactics of young Ariel to hide the fact that she was on her period. I slid pads up my sleeve as I creeped to the bathroom. I lingered in classrooms to be the last one out so I could grab a pad and get to the bathroom. I brought cute bagsContinue reading “Period.”

Please Steal My Idea

I’m tired. I’m feeling hopeless for our society. I’m fearing for the health and wellness of so many people. People are selfish. There’s limited successful options offered in our society that truly help people live a quality life. I don’t know what the answers are to help people. There’s probably versions of my idea thatContinue reading “Please Steal My Idea”

Stepparents

I want to preface what I write below by saying that everything in this blog is solely based on my perspective. There is nuance likely missing as well as the perspectives of the people I reference. I have zero intentions of attacking anyone. I am simply writing about how I feel currently, how I feltContinue reading “Stepparents”

Evidence

Picture it. It’s Christmas Eve. Your children have been asleep for a reasonable amount of time for you to step in and begin to finalize the Christmas magic. You put the presents under the tree. You fill the stockings. You take a bite out of the cookies and drink all the milk left for “Santa.”Continue reading “Evidence”

Parenting Phrases

I have been thinking about the best way to organize this blog for a while now. I’ve written a few blogs related to parenting, but I think this will likely be my favorite. I am 100% an evidence based research girlie! I love speaking with facts and support behind my statements. If the United StatesContinue reading “Parenting Phrases”

Freely Given

I started to write this as a quick Facebook post, but I started writing more and more and believe it’s important to post through my blog. So, please enjoy! I’ve been telling our daughter that she should be drinking more water while at school because her water bottle has been coming home at the sameContinue reading “Freely Given”

Don’t Have Children

I recently read a journal entry from July of 2018 where I wrote that I’m a kick ass mother. I stared at it in shock. I didn’t know that I ever felt that way about motherhood. While living in Texas, “Don’t have children” came out of my mouth so many times. I advised all theContinue reading “Don’t Have Children”

ATTENTION, ATTENTION

I’m literally writing this because I want attention. I want people to read my words. I want people to validate me as a writer. I want people to tell me I’m talented. I want people to share with their friends and family to make me go viral. I’m begging for attention. Please pay attention toContinue reading “ATTENTION, ATTENTION”

Then I shared songs that show God’s love and in turn helps you work to love yourself. The third blog discussed ensuring people understandContinue reading “Love Without Expectations”
