Motherhood – The Hot Young Mom

Take From Me, Learn From Me: 2 Years Into Motherhood

It’s been 2 years and life has taken so much from me and given me even more. Year 2 of motherhood has felt like one foot in, one out, and a whole nother one completely disconnected from my body-but super vital and like hanging on by a thread- that double dutches in and out. I’veContinue reading “Take From Me, Learn From Me: 2 Years Into Motherhood”

Crushin’

I think I might have a teeny tiny crush on like 2 people y’all. One more than the other but still… this is weird. And uncomfortable. And kind of fun? I don’t know. Whatever this is, it’s refreshing. New, different, awakening or whatever. It’s been a long time since I even looked at somebody romanticallyContinue reading “Crushin’”

Hurt People, Hurt People

My grandma popped my baby. That’s it, that’s the story. My grandmother popped my baby & I LOST! MY! SHIT! I couldn’t see past my triggers and I lost it! The helpless and scared kid in me jumped out and was front and center to defend my child; cause if I say “don’t hit myContinue reading “Hurt People, Hurt People”

If Yo Girl Only Knew

I wish I knew that: 1: Every day will not be sunshine & rainbows. In fact, you might outright hate motherhood and that’s okay! 2: There is no smooth transition from woman to mom. And it sucks. 3: Self-care is no longer easy. 4: This is your journey and yours alone. YOU are the mother.Continue reading “If Yo Girl Only Knew”

Hide Me Mommy

Warning: this will be kind of long. I’m not apologizing. It is 5 am, I’ve had no sleep, and I’ve decided that sharing Bean with the public IS actually anxiety inducing and not something I’m 100% comfortable with. If you’re reading this and wondering if that means you need permission to share her going forward,Continue reading “Hide Me Mommy”

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”

Baby, you Blue me away

I think I’ve got a case of the Baby Blues. I love my daughter. I love being her mom. I even like doing it “alone” if I’m being truly honest. But I think I’ve got those good ‘ol Baby Blues. I feel like Eeyore if he sat in the sun all day; kinda happy, mostlyContinue reading “Baby, you Blue me away”

“What is your biggest fear?”

TW: death. If you are sensitive to the topic of death please proceed with caution. There are no mentions of gory or graphic details. Can I be wildly honest? My biggest fear is dying. I don’t mean that to sound poetic. My biggest fear is dying. I have never been afraid of death and IContinue reading ““What is your biggest fear?””

I, (Used To Be) A Victim

Sad, lonely, fearful, anxiety-ridden. That was me. I grew up in abuse; it was all I knew for years. I never felt comfortable at home, near certain family members, around loud noises- was never settled. It’s been about 4 years since I was in that space and my GOD, it seems as if the triggersContinue reading “I, (Used To Be) A Victim”
