Hey BOO!

It’s nearly Halloween and for the first time in YEARS, I am excited about the holidays again! In the spirit of passing the joy and giving my baby a memorable Halloween, I have come up with the idea to “Boo” my village. Well… in a way. So, the tradition of the Halloween “Boo” game wasContinue reading “Hey BOO!”

One anddd…Nowhere near done!

And just like that, my baby girl is 1! I’m still trying to process that and deal with the fact that a year ago I was in labor-barely conscious-and birthing this beautiful girl. A weekend (or two, lol) ago, we celebrated Beanie’s first birthday!! In keeping with my family tradition, we hosted two parties forContinue reading “One anddd…Nowhere near done!”

All I Am… All I Was…

All I am is a mom; Mommy, Mama, Mom. I have no other identity outside of “Mom”. I’ve lost the “hot” part of The Hot Young Mom. I’m just young and mom and I hate it. I’m losing my mind. I’m snapping and short and tired and just downright “not myself”. The beauty is theContinue reading “All I Am… All I Was…”

Get that BREAD, get that HEALING, and LEAVE

Alright so boom! I keep typing this and deleting it, writing it down then erasing it, and I’m tired of that so here it goes… My child’s father treated me like absolute shit for the entire 9 months that I was pregnant. There, I said it. And I’m clenching my jaw as I’m typing thisContinue reading “Get that BREAD, get that HEALING, and LEAVE”

Fast & Frustrated 9

Forty-five minutes. Forty! Five! MINUTES!!!! That’s how long a trip to the movies with nine month old Bean lasted. Here I go calling myself enjoying a nice day out with my mom and aunt; thinking “long as I have snacks & boobs everything will be alright.” Chileeeeeee PLEASE!! Miss Bean showed her little black buttContinue reading “Fast & Frustrated 9”

The Hot Mom Meetup

Hi there! The “Hot Mom Meetup” is my bi-weekly version of a Mommy and Me class. I have had absolutely NO luck finding a Mommy and Me class that is not gymnastics, swim, or “Mom you just stand here and occasionally interact” based; so, here we are. We will meet at a park in orContinue reading “The Hot Mom Meetup”

Truth Time

My priorities are screwed. I’d rather spend time playing sims, scrolling instagram, and typing captions and blog posts in my notes app rather than posting them. Why? I feel unqualified to be a “mom blogger”. I feel like I’m too “new” to motherhood to have the audacity to sit and document our experiences; but 500Continue reading “Truth Time”

I do NOT like sharing

I do not like sharing. I have NEVER liked sharing; I still don’t like sharing. This poses a problem in my co-parenting relationship and motherhood journey. I do not like sharing yet I brought a child into this world and committed myself to sharing her for the rest of her life. WHY did I doContinue reading “I do NOT like sharing”

For The LAST Time!

PLEASE, for the love of all things holy & good, give us moms some grace. PLEASE! Especially us young and single ones. I am not “too sensitive” about my baby, I am her protector. I am not being “white”, I am PROTECTING her. I am not a “crybaby” or “sensitive”, I have postpartum fracking depressionContinue reading “For The LAST Time!”

My girl, my girl…

Everybody keeps saying “she’ll always be your baby. No matter how big she gets.” I’m having a hard time believing that. It’s hard to believe that when she’s only 7 months and she’s already rolling off my chest to fall asleep BESIDE me and not ON me. It’s hard to believe she’s “still a baby”Continue reading “My girl, my girl…”
