Unexpected Parenting I´ve always been inspired by many quotes in life‚ but Walt Disney couldn´t have said it better when he said: “It´s kind of fun to do the impossible.” Life throws many curve balls at you through out the years.

When somebody compares me to Michael‚ they use it to hurt me: “You’re so lazy‚ just like Michael.” Or even more hurtful “you’re just like Michael”. So what brought

Say No To Smoking There are drugs in the world that are hurting us all. The drug that I am going to talk about is the drug found in cigarettes: nicotine. Although some good people do no think that smoking cigarettes will directly affect their lives‚ they are wrong because smoking is nothing but a shortcut to dying.
