Before I had my children I had absolutely no idea what I wanted to do when I grew up. Now three years later I realize what I want to do; I want to help other mothers. Currently I am studying to be a lactation consultant, you wouldn’t believe how many women I have heard from… Continue reading The Difference

My Husband
My husband Shawn and I have been together for eight years and married for five of those years, and boy what an adventure it has been thus far. We met while we were in high school but we never really hung out. There was a class called JROTC (Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps) that… Continue reading My Husband
Divorce
My parents divorced when I was eight years old, at the time I didn’t understand what that meant. When you are eight years old all you care about is Barbie’s, playing with your friends, and going to the mall (what else can you do in a small town?). I knew other kids whose parents weren’t… Continue reading Divorce

The First Journey- Part 2
The night after I had gone to the doctors started out uneventful. Relaxed for a bit and went to bed at 10 pm. I woke up an hour later and thought my water was leaking and I was cramping about every 5 minutes. I piddled around for about an hour while texting with my mom,… Continue reading The First Journey- Part 2
Selfish
What is it to be selfish? When I think of selfish I think of doing something for yourself, something only for you. Most of the time being selfish has negative connotations, why can't it be something associated with something positive? How often as a parent do we get to do something selfish? I have a feeling… Continue reading Selfish
Back to School
I know I know everyone is writing something about the kids going back to school, what's new right? Well this isn't about the kids. I know shocker right? Something that isn't kid related! Gasp! Really though, this is going to be about me. I had made the decision earlier in the year to go back to… Continue reading Back to School
