My Supports

Having a supportive team is very important in everyone's life. I have my wonderful husband, children, and my family who support any thing I put my mind to. If I didn't have such support I wouldn't do most of the things I have done. Right now my family is being very supportive on my next venture to lose weight.

I have been battling my weight for years and now its to a point where I need medical help. At first I was ashamed I couldn't lose the weight the natural way, it took me a few years to find out that it wouldn't work for me. As I came to the conclusion that I would need surgery to help me lose the weight, my family was very supportive. My husband has attended some meetings with me, my family have even done research on their own and told me what procedure they think would be best for me even though they aren't doctors.

I'm glad I have such support and I hope other people can say the same about their family and friends.

My Connections to Play

I have always been a firm believer that children learn through play, here are two of my favorite quotes:












The items I loved playing with when I was a kid are shown below! I loved playing with them when I was growing up.

 I loved Jem growing up, I was so happy that my parents fed into my obsession!

 Who didn't love this game? I could play it for hours!

While growing up my parents that it was necessary to play to develop social skills. I'm a Army brat so meeting new people every 3-4 years was stressful as a child. Play lets you be yourself and be free so that you don't even think about being the new person. I don't think play has changed much since I was a child, it stills provides the same social skills, and learning skills as before.

Play has helped me develop great social skills, I'm very friendly and love social gatherings with others. I believe if I didn't participate in play I would be less social and not really a party person.
