Hey Folks! One of my big issues has always been accepting help. I know in "…relying on yourself", I went on and on about not relying on others because in all honesty, people just offer help just to be offering sometimes. And as a single mom, my sporadic situations my not be ideal for everyone's schedule -… Continue reading …accepting the village

…protecting your baby
Hey folks, So one of the big things I've kind of been passive aggressive about is Ky's daycare and their opinions about her hair. Now if you haven't noticed, we're black. Yea, crazy right?! But anyway, I wear my hair naturally -as in no chemicals, perms, etc.- and choose to leave Ky's hair alone. My… Continue reading …protecting your baby
….getting over insecurities
It's HOMECOMING YALL! Well...it WAS Homecoming! I'm always excited to rep my alma mater (all red everything...every day, all day, with championship rings on!). So I gathered up some courage to ask my friends to watch Ky for the weekend (a WHOLE WEEKEND "/). And thankfully, they accepted. I had my second child-free weekend since… Continue reading ….getting over insecurities
….putting baby in a corner
Hi Folks! Hey, Ashley...How do you get things done when Ky's around? Great question Ashley! I don't. Nothing. Gets. Done. E V E R. I have approximately 2 (maaaaybe 2 1/2) hours to get anything started knowing that it will more than likely never be finished. And those hours work only on the weekends. It's… Continue reading ….putting baby in a corner
…being proud
Hey Folks! It's October! Can you believe it?? I surely can't. Especially since October means something special for Ky and I. WE'RE MOVING! Thank the GOOD Lord above! Ha! We finally found somewhere we can deal with for a year, with two bedrooms! So do you know what that means for this single mama?! Peace.… Continue reading …being proud
…finding peace
Hey folks! One of my biggest focus, as of late, is finding peace. I believe it is SO important...especially being a single mom because those "peaceful" moments are few and far between. A few weeks ago, everything was starting to get to me: living in someone else's house, sharing a room with my daughter, messes,… Continue reading …finding peace
…relying on yourself
Hey folks! I absolutely HATE relying on others. Like if I had to choose between relying on someone to catch me during a trust fall or trusting that a tank full of sharks won't rip me to shreds, I'm picking the shark tank...EVERY TIME. Now that I have a daughter, the next thing that I… Continue reading …relying on yourself
…being lonely
Hey folks! Loneliness and motherhood. Who would have thunk it? To some degree, I did. I mean I wasn't expecting to be out every weekend while someone else raised my child *no shade* but I can count on one hand how many times I've been out, without my daughter since she's been born...3 times...maybe. And… Continue reading …being lonely
…being unsure
When I found out I was pregnant, I went through all the normal stages: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance.
