The Story:

My name is Crystal Marchand and on May 24th my husband and I welcomed our first baby, Noah Whitney, into our family. Great, happy, and exciting news, but only one problem: we can't financially afford for me to take off of work to play mommy. But through the generosity of people like you, we're raising money so that I can take off work and get used to this whole motherhood thing.

Parents, this is for you!

Let’s talk parent to parent.  Or how about teacher to parent.  YOU need to PARENT your CHILD.  It is not my job to do it for you!  My job is to teach your child the information they need to know and then YOU HAVE TO PRACTICE THE SKILLS AT HOME.  It is also your job to teach them life skills, good manners and good social skills.  I get so irritated when parents send their kids to me expecting me to be their parent.  I love all the kids but, I do have my own kid to worry about.  Parent your child.  Please.  Or in addition to my salary, pay me what I charge to be a nanny.

I’m a procrastinator

Hi, my name is Crystal and I’m a procrastinator.  I was going to post more, but I’ll do it later.  

God, give me the ability to be motivated to finish the laundry and keep my house tidy.  No more excuses or hiding behind having a new baby!!!
