Mama of ten Abbie Halberstadt helps women humbly and gracefully rise to the high calling of motherhood without settling for mediocrity or losing their minds in the process. Motherhood is a challenge. Unfortunately, our worldly culture offers moms little in the way of real help. Mamas only connect to celebrate surviving another day and to share in their misery rather than rejoice in what God has done and to build each other up in hard times. There has a be a better way, a biblical way, for mamas to grow and thrive. As a daughter of Christ, you have been called to be more than an average mama. Attaining excellence doesn’t have to be unsettling but it will take committed focus and a desire to parent well according to God’s grace and for His glory. M is for Mama offers advice, encouragement, and scripturally sound strategies seasoned with a little bit of humor to help you embrace the challenge of biblical motherhood and raise your children with love and wisdom. Mama, you are worthy of the awesome responsibility God has given you. Now it’s time to start believing you can live up to it.

Having a hard time dealing with kid chaos? Do you feel like your kids are walking all over you? Have they embarrassed you in public places? You are not alone! Almost every parent experiences these things! My name is Angela and I am a single mom of 3 children. As a parent, one thing I should have learned, is that freaking out on kids is not the way. While I began to understand this about parenting, I was just too busy. I had a 40+ hour per week job, and on top of that, I had to do EVERYTHING, and I mean everything: Doctor and dentist appointments, school meetings and functions, emergency room visits and chores such as vacuuming, laundry, cooking, sweeping, mopping, dishes - attempting to get the kids to do their chores was a chore in itself! Then we had things like volleyball, basketball, dance, grocery shopping. Wait, grocery shopping? I forgot to pick up toilet paper from the store today! Crap! Anyway, I had to do all of this while trying to maintain a job and income for our household and trying to fit in some actual quality time in with the kids. Not to mention me time- Wait... Me time? What's that?! I was in this exhausting juggling act of 360 degree parenting. My kids were getting out of control. There was very little structure, and a whole lot of disrespect and backtalk from the kids, not to mention the ever re-occurring sibling fights and arguments. It was tough being the only disciplinarian in the household with no one to call on for backup. I was suffering from extreme anxiety and life stresses- the kids and I were stressing each other out! Throughout all of this, I learned a huge lesson about parenting... Single parent or not, it's on me to GET - IT - TOGETHER It's easy to blame the father for not being there, or blame the media or other kids in our neighborhood or school for my children's behavior. But the truth is, it all comes down to us knowing what to do as parents. Raising kids isn't easy. Like they say, "Kids don't come with a handbook". While kids might not come with a handbook, surprisingly mine helped me write a book and create a system that provides a win-win solution by giving us all what we want! Discipline doesn't have to be a parent vs. kid battle. There is a way out, and the way out is to make your child accountable in a way that doesn't involve a power struggle. As adults, it's hard to remember what it was like to be a kid, or to know how capable kids really are. But the truth is, our kids can do way more than we give them credit for. While we should always parent with love and logic, in that same respect, we should motivate and challenge our kids to aim higher and strive more. Once we get them on that track, things will get a lot easier for everyone. This is why I wrote this book called Mom Dollar Money. While one might think they know what it's about based on the title, it's really not what one would think. No, this book is not about bribing your children. There's actually very little bribery or money involved in this parenting and discipline method. Mom Dollar Money is a special kind of system that breaks down the things we do as an adult, into something that children can understand. With this system, children will feel more in control of getting what they want, while you gain control of getting what you want- especially your sanity! With this kit, children will learn real world life-skills and accountability-without even realizing it! What if you could get something that operates kind of like a nanny, but without the nanny? What if you could have a way to get your children to behave on the spot without freaking out on them? What if you could spend less time freaking out on your kids, and spend more quality time with them? That's exactly what Mom Dollar Money is about!

Winner of the Jules and Frances Landry Award Historians have long considered the diary of William Johnson, a wealthy free Black barber in Natchez, Mississippi, to be among the most significant sources on free African Americans living in the antebellum South. Timothy R. Buckner’s The Barber of Natchez Reconsidered reexamines Johnson’s life using recent scholarship on Black masculinity as an essential lens, demonstrating a complexity to Johnson previously overlooked in academic studies. While Johnson’s profession as a barber helped him gain acceptance and respectability, it also required his subservience to the needs of his all-white clientele. Buckner’s research counters earlier assumptions that suggested Johnson held himself apart from Natchez’s Black population, revealing instead a man balanced between deep connections to the broader African American community and the necessity to cater to white patrons for economic and social survival. Buckner also highlights Johnson’s participation in the southern performance of manliness to a degree rarely seen in recent studies of Black masculinity. Like many other free Black men, Johnson asserted his manhood in ways beyond simply rebelling against slavery; he also competed with other men, white and Black, free and enslaved, in various masculine pursuits, including gambling, hunting, and fishing. Buckner’s long-overdue reevaluation of the contents of Johnson’s diary serves as a corrective to earlier works and a fascinating new account of a free African American business owner residing in the prewar South.

The book is about me and my interaction with students, faculty, and everyone else. I want to move through my life from birth to the present. The 85 years of life have been eventful, and I am grateful for those who helped me arrive at this point in life. I want to convey the events that guided me through my early years, grade, high school, Army, marriage, college, teaching, and retirement. Each day was a learning experience. The goal was to make teaching more rewarding to the students. Many assignments that are included were not present when I started in 1965. My work during the summers helped me understand the innovations – NC (numerical control), CNC (computer numerical control), EDM (electric discharge machining). That learning helped me convey that knowledge to the students. Included are jobs made by the students that were designed to provide similar experiences found in the machining industry. There are stories about students and teachers that filled my days as a teacher. Lastly, there are assignments a person can try. My only comment is, “don’t do the last two because they are difficult.” That was a favorite comment to get students to work the difficult problems.
