Formula vs. Breastfeeding
I have three kids. All three of them are healthy babies. With my first two, I breastfed for two months before my supply would dwindle off on me. Then I would switch to formula. With my third, my milk didn't come in right away and my baby was hungry, so what did I do? Formula. I switched to formula asap because I knew he needed to eat. What did everyone in my life do? Tell me I was doing the wrong thing. Which sucked.

Cringe. Content Warning.
Ah puberty. That really uncomfortable stage in your life where everything is just changing. Just being a teenager in itself is awkward and a frightening experience to go through. It's lifechanging. I've got a few weird stories from that time in my life that I've been thinking about lately. I went to a Catholic school growing up. I've got a lot of fond memories of that school and quite a few bad ones too. But the good outweigh the bad. Kids can just be mean. I remember the days where I dreaded going to school because of what was going on with me at the time. I was just filled with so much anxiety back then. I shared my first relationship and first kiss story a couple weeks ago. If you haven't read that one I highly recommend you check it out because that was an extremely embarrassing story from my childhood.

O V E R T H I N K I N G
Overthinking happens to be my specialty. Very certain that it's a blessing and a curse at the same time. Everything feels so out of control, with so many endless possibilities out there for me to explore. Revolving door thoughts that I can't seem to escape. Thought bubbles that pierce me in ways that hurt in the most unimaginable way. Hurtful words and things from my past that still wound me to this day. Intrusive thinking in patterns that I can't seem to erase. Never seem to find the right words to express what's going on inside my head. Kick that self-doubt to the curb they say. I know it's easier said than done. No words come out right when I speak because of the way my mind races some days. Gibberish to many, but my truth carries weight.

Here Comes 2024
2024 is going to be my year. I can already feel the New beginnings rapidly approaching- especially with the birth of my third child at the end of December. Now that Christmas is over, it's time to ring in the New Year with some good intentions.

“Book of The Month” Review
I was so excited to come across this subscription box dedicated to books! I discovered it three months ago while doom scrolling on Instagram. Of course, with myself being an avid online shopper, and in desperate need for a new monthly subscription box, I signed up immediately. I used to have an Ipsy subscription but I cancelled that a long time ago. I tried an anxiety relief box too but that got expensive. This seemed affordable and right up my alley.

The First Time. Top Story - December 2023.
"To love and be loved is to feel the sun from both sides." — David Viscott I've fallen in love more times than I can count. I've always loved the idea of love-especially while growing up. This story takes place over ten years ago.

Wounded Past. Content Warning.
Childhood trauma dripped with a painful past. All I'm left with is the memories of the wounds you inflicted, My hollowed out heart will forever remain in a cast. The questions that nobody asked. Endless fights that were left with misunderstandings and contradiction. My life was pretty grand when compared to other people's childhoods in contrast. Revolving door arguments that left us feeling like we were walking around barefoot on broken glass. A few of my childhood memories have become restricted. I just want a hug, is that really too much to ask? We were at war with our minds like a supposed sunny day with a chance of rain overcast. With the pain we wear on our sleeve from scars that were self-inflicted. We are just a generation of broken children with an enormous past. My childhood memories are smashed. I became the black sheep of the flock which was absolutely unpredicted. The war going on in my mind is absolutely trashed.

self-care
I struggle with self-care sometimes. It's a work in progress for me. I'm saying that honestly. It's something I've been working on the past couple months. It's important to take care of yourself because if you're struggling with something, the people around you can sense it and struggle too. That's especially true during the holiday season.
