Teaching Them

Contribution by Stevie Kirby. As a teacher I feel like it's important to teach my kids fiscal responsibility. I don't teach math or anything like that (I'm actually a Health teacher) but you know, I want them to graduate and be in good shape to live like adults when they're older.

I'm so blessed. <3 Have a great rest of the … [Read more...]

Mom Arrested For Giving 11 Year Old Daughter a Tattoo

She claims that she did not know the law in her state (which, in North Carolina, a minor can't get a tattoo even with a parent/guardian's consent). If I were wanting to be a tattoo artist, the first thing I would be … [Read more...]
