Being a nice person IS a choice - The thinking mom

Welcome to my new site. I'm Effie, from AlwaysLadies.com. You can also find me on Facebook. Being a nice person IS a choice. Posted on March 31, 2016. I was thinking today…- why is it so difficult for some people to stay good? Society and childhood factors are always influential but at the end of the day no-one.

Welcome to my new site. I'm Effie, from AlwaysLadies.com. You can also find me on Facebook. Women should be celebrated every day. Posted on March 8, 2016. There are so many women who despite loving, caring and giving to others they haven’t received the same back. Women who are not even aware that they are being abused.

He even told me right away about his past troubles with the law, his short prison sentence and his horrible childhood. I liked that he was honest and also felt he was deeply affected by his abusive past. Emotional abuse is subtle and builds up slowly in a very sneaky way. Was it easier to look the other way?

Frozen 5 - The thinking mom

Welcome to my new site. I'm Effie, from AlwaysLadies.com. You can also find me on Facebook. Posted on September 21, 2016. A year has gone by so fast when Emilia had her Baymax. No, am not exaggerating – moms don’t do that, of course! She wanted everything Frozen themed, Olaf everywhere, the house in blue, pink and white, she wanted to be dressed as Elsa and all her girlfriends to come at the party as princesses. I was taken aback. My daughter wanted girly stuff and I soooo wasn’t ready for that! In mostl...
