I was thinking about my journey as I succeeded in what most mom’s deem “too hard.” Breastfeeding. I had succeeded nursing until past the first year. Statistically, woman quit by the first week. If not they completely stop by 3 months, which means most woman don’t accomplish their goals of reaching the infamous “at least 6 months.”
I too remember the struggle. I was one of these statistic with my…
You know that moment when things change out of your control and now you have to spend hours formulating a new plan for how you can get back to “normal?”
That happened to me last month. My babysitter basically resigned. I was devastated and I think I’ve barely recovered from the damage. Okay, I’m exaggerating, yes, but it’s true. Am I the only mom (parent everywhere!) who fear the unknown?…
I haven’t had a day like today in a long time. I’m talking hot shower, plucked my eyebrows, face mask (I’ve been enjoying my Muddy Buddy clay masks) and even gave myself a mini pedicure all while I did the laundry and kitchen was clean. It felt good! Usually it’s one or the other but today I got to do both.
This day was one for the books.
who was i before i cared so much about my eyebrows???
Damn, I was in elementary when I noticed this feature about myself and even then I knew my eyebrows weren’t shit. But thank god for make-up.

I have not written in soooo long! I’ve been wrapped up in many changes that I forgot about documenting how breastfeeding for a year went, nursing past the first year and finally weaning at almost 2 years.
Here’s a quick summary of how it all went.
0-3 months: The first month is the hardest.
I almost gave up. I too had the “can of formula just in case” sitting in my pantry. You know what happened?…
If I had to choose between inner peace and the truth, I’d choose truth. Peace without truth is pretty much a lie.

I wrote this like 6 years ago and has stayed in my drafts …
Why is sexy perceived as a one way street? Do girls honestly think guys only go for the physical? Listen up, they don’t. It’s that simple. Yes, they are attracted to what they see but let’s think farther ahead for a moment. What keeps them intrigued? It’s not how “hot” you are, or how big your tits are or how juicy your ass is. In fact, is has nothing to do with a physical attraction. That’s the first step, a “type” if you will. Just because you acquire certain attributes or lack them doesn’t mean you’ll have the guy of your dreams. Guys are attracted toq what’s on the inside. They like to laugh just as much as we do so if your strong suit is being funny, own it! If your smart, trust me, guys like having a girl who has more on her mind than petty bullshit, own it! If you’re witty don’t shy away! Guys LIKE a girl who can hold a conversation, own it. Above all remember this, stop the delusion. Don’t keep the bar so low and aiming at just a physical attraction. There’s so much more to a person than what they look like. These are just the general rules of dating, right? First there has to be an attraction, sometimes none at all. Next you explore whether or not you’re compatible. This varies because it leads to many different roads but generally you want to know their thoughts, ect. I think the reason girls are often mislead is because certain guys we’re after step 1. Let’s be honest for a second, no bashing of any sort, let’s just keep it real. Guys are opportunist. Plain and simple. Girls are too, let’s keep it real, but more often than not, they expect guys to brush it off simply because that’s their nature. Show no emotion, right. This is why either party is always hurt. The “douchebag” just wants to have a good time without having someone keep score. Girls who hurt guys however, are under the impression that they’ll be fine, move onto the next. This is why “the nice Guy” persona came to be. It’s a poor excuse to accept you’ve been rejected. Girls calling men douchebags are their defense machinism because of fear that they weren’t good enough. This is where the physical aspect comes in. If another got his attention solely on the physical, don’t take it to heart. It’s not you, it’s them. Really. Theyare the ones who don’t think beyond their noses. But in time they will. It is an actual fact that guys are not as nature as girls. They’re about 3 years behind. Some might say, “ well that’s not much.” And it’s n not but in mature age, it’s HUGE. Let’s put it to example, would you have the same humor or interest as someone who is 12 while you’re 15? No way right?! That’s my point. You may think you’re something special and that you can change him, but really, you can’t. And unless he is willing to leave the immaturity behind, your best bet is to move on. Guys don’t be upset. We know some of you exist. we know that there are some out there that are mature and sincere in wanting love just as much as we do. In all honesty, you’re a diamond in the ruff.. Own it! The right girl will come along, eventually. Know your enemy. It’s not the opposite sex nor your competition, it’s you.
