I'm excited about becoming a blogger.  I have often thought about it; now I have a slight push because it is a requirement for my graduate program in Early Childhood Studies.  I will start with a small introduction.  I am 37 years old, born and raised in Columbia, South Carolina.  I am a military spouse with three little boys; ages   11 1/2 months, 3, and 12.  I love my family dearly and am blessed in that I am able to be a stay-at-home mom.  My vision for owning a daycare came to me about two years ago while I was holding my sleeping son.  I figured I stayed at home with the children, so why not make a career out of something that I absolutely loved.  I decided to attend school so that I would have the proper training to teach and understand the minds of such precious gifts.  My undergraduate degree in psychology has helped tremendously in understanding why people do what they do.  The furtherance of my education in early childhood will hopefully help me to gain all the tools necessary to run a daycare where parents will feel great about sending their children.
