Why I'm Glad I Went Natural
Around ten years ago, I was faced with a choice. A hair choice, to be specific. See, because I was pregnant, I would not be able to get a relaxer (also known as a ‘perm’) that chemically straightened my tresses. This was an unsettling prospect. I had been getting relaxers every three to six months since I was ten – this made my hair ‘easier’ to manage and style. Even so, my hair clearly hadn’t made it to the top of the list of considerations as my husband and I planned the pregnancy. I mean, I don’t know who would be able to say that they thought about their hair when family planning, but now that we were at this point, it definitely presented a quandary.

I'm THAT Mom
I love my kid. I love my kid unlike anyone else could ever love her. I took part in creating her. I carried her in my womb for nine months and birthed her after twenty-two hours of labor. I whispered promises and dreams into her ear while holding her tiny infant fingers and have celebrated each and every milestone that she has achieved.
