My Superhero
In February of 2016, I found out that my boyfriend and I would be parents for the first time. We were shocked and it definitely took some time to let the news sink in. Once it did, we couldn’t wait to meet this new bundle of joy. My pregnancy was anything but easy. I was not one of those women who would be glowing and peppy.

We'll Need a Highchair Here...
I knew that becoming a parent was going to present some challenges. I think it’s naïve to assume otherwise. Some of these challenges were completely expected in that obviously the larger your family the more money it costs to support them.

The Battle Between the 'Taken,' the 'Protected,' and the 'Lost'. Top Story - March 2018.
As I have begun an intended and unintended journey, the road is paved with potholes, sinkholes and wet cement. I was a missing child, as a result of running away from an abusive home. I share my personal story to raise awareness; awareness that runaways are not belligerent children, we aren’t drug addicts, we aren’t rebellious—we are children who have been abused either physically, sexually, and/or mentally.

Dear Mom
I'm sorry for not understanding. Up until now, I've never fully understood the meaning to all of this and I have to be honest, I don't know if I still do. A part of my soul yearns for you and wishes I had you in my life, but the current part of my understanding knows that I would not be where and who I am, had I not gone through what I did. I've spent 21 years battling these emotions, seeking to understand exactly what this all means. I remember the last day I saw you. That memory is imprinted in my mind with such detail, I've never been able to forget you. I don't have a clear conception of time, all I really remember is how much I wanted to be with you. I never wanted to be apart, I would follow you everywhere.

These are the five products I use every day that make having a new baby so much easier.

True Life: Motherhood
Surprises. This is what motherhood has brought me thus far. I became a first-time mom just a few months back and am surprised at how different it is from what I imagined and had heard.
