September 14th might just seem like just another ordinary day to most people, but it is such an important day to me! Yesterday the love of my life is turned 20 years old!Last year on his birthday, we were still coming to grips that we were going to be parents. Turning 19 and knowing you […]
Last week my baby boy JJ had a really rough week with teething. I barely got anything done all week because he constantly wanted to breastfeed or be held. By last weekend, he was in such a better mood, and this week so far, he has been so calm. The only downside to this week […]
As a first time mother, I’m realizing that so many people try to tell you the “best” way to take care of your child. There’s family, friends, coworkers, and even people you don’t even know that know exactly what your baby needs. Not! Only YOU know YOUR baby. Most people just want to help, but […]
I really had a great day today! Since Sunday is the first day of the week, it felt like a have a fresh start today. Last week had a few very rough moments for our little family, but I feel like this week will be so much better for us! This morning we slept in, […]

Last Christmas, I bought my boyfriend a PS4 because I wanted to get him one last really nice gift before I started being a stay at home mom with a tight budget. I’m really glad I bought the PS4 because we moved into our home together in February, and now I get to watch Netflix […]
Before I had my son, I was really against having a baby sleep in the same bed as my boyfriend and me. When I was pregnant, people would always tell me, “Oh just wait! That baby will end up in your bed!” I always just protested jokingly. I did not want him in our bed […]
Breastfeeding is a very touchy subject for many people. Everyone has an opinion on it. Some people act like you’re a bad mother if you do not breastfeed your baby. That’s so NOT true. I think as long as your baby is fed and happy, you are doing a fabulous job mama! The mom shaming […]
