Many, many years ago, okay 18 years ago, I gave birth to a beautiful little boy. I was young, I was single, I was a statistic.
It was likely I wasn’t going to finish high school, graduate college or get a real job. It was likely that my son wasn’t going to have the best life. It was BULLSHIT, and I was determined to rise above it, for MY SON.
Let me start by saying that I owe A LOT to my own Mama for being there for me and for pushing me to do better, achieve more, reach higher.

There is nothing more awesome than childhood. You get to be carefree, free-spirited and just have fun! When I was little my mother owned a hair salon. I used to visit her there often after school and on weekends.
There were two women that worked for her named Helen and Mona that I still remember to this day.
It’s a sad day in the world of bloggers when we lose one of our own.
RIP to Mama Christine of Adventures of a Thrifty Mama and her son.
If you have a moment please stop by her Facebook page here to leave a few kind words to her surviving 3 children and family.
Christine and her son were murdered by her estranged husband (the boys step-father.)

Domestic Violence is real and it takes the lives of loved ones. If you see something, say something.
