Mom; Wife; what does it mean?

November 10, 2017November 10, 20172 Comments

Mom Life Someone posted the question “who taught you how to be a mother”. I responded with “I think some things are learned from women in our lives (the good and the bad; what we want to be and don’t want to be). And then some things come naturally, for me anyway.  It’s the motherly … Continue reading Mom; Wife; what does it mean?

Mental Health Matters – Therapy is Imperative

October 11, 20174 Comments

I went through an adjustment period. A period where I was just trying to identify what the heck was going on with me. I was experiencing new emotions and had to rediscover who this “new me” was.

Going BALD

August 22, 2017August 22, 201716 Comments

Hair Chronicles Part One So I’m losing my hair due to post-partum shedding. This started about three months after I gave birth.  I had a relaxer and my hair texture had changed.  No matter what I did to my hair, I was never satisfied. And instead of leaving it alone, like I should have, I … Continue reading Going BALD

Looking forward

July 19, 2017July 19, 2017Leave a comment

There’s this fascination with what “was” or what “used to be”. It’s almost like a high.  I don’t know this first hand, but most addicts become addicted to something because they become hooked after the first time.  That initial feeling or high is so great, so wonderful, and makes them feel so good, until it … Continue reading Looking forward

Breastfeeding… it’s over

July 6, 201713 Comments

Breastfeeding – the pumping, the stressing and the stuff many moms don’t publicly talk about I’m here… I thought I would be more excited. I haven’t pumped in over a month and I haven’t nursed in exactly one week.  I thought the weaning process would be more difficult.  Austin actually weaned himself…lol  He stopped being … Continue reading Breastfeeding… it’s over

Where are YOU?

March 13, 2017March 13, 20171 Comment

When I ask the question – where are you – I’m not talking about your physical location. Let’s consider this question in relation to your purpose in life… your dreams… your goals… your passion.  What excites you? What would you do with your life if money wasn’t a factor; if fear wasn’t a factor; if … Continue reading Where are YOU?

Live life NOW!

November 5, 2016November 5, 20162 Comments

It’s crazy how death makes us look at life in new light. Sometimes we don’t appreciate life until death happens close to us.  We know people will die, heck, we ALL will die, but when it happens and hits close to home, it shocks us; it hurts us; and oftentimes it stills us.  We pause … Continue reading Live life NOW!

So, is there a such thing as a fourth trimester?

October 27, 2016October 27, 20162 Comments

I’ve heard about the fourth trimester, but I brushed it off and never paid it much attention, since at this point, the baby is no longer inside my body, so why do I care about another trimester? The logic behind this term is that the first 3 months of a baby's life is a big … Continue reading So, is there a such thing as a fourth trimester?

So you say you want a baby, huh?

September 27, 2016September 27, 201617 Comments

Being a first time mom is an experience, to say the least.  God made sure to give me what I prayed for - a boy; oh the joy! When people ask “how motherhood is going” my response is: “If I’m being honest, some days are great and I love it and other days, I’m like ‘WHAT DID … Continue reading So you say you want a baby, huh?

Birth Story 2016

September 7, 2016September 9, 20166 Comments

Pregnancy Let me first start out by saying my pregnancy was amazing! I enjoyed every day, week and month leading up to the birth of my son.  I made sure to stay in the best shape I could; I took a 6 week prenatal yoga class (weeks 24 – 30) and did yoga on my … Continue reading Birth Story 2016
