Raising a boy is messy
Being a mom is hard.

For the record I never thought I would be a mother. When I was younger I really didn't want kids. Then when I got older I didn't think I could have kids. Imagine my surprise when I found out I was pregnant. At that moment and even for the first year of his life I never imagined that I would be a single mother but here I am #adulting the crap out of life.
Side note: this will not be a bashing session of my ex. In fact I will not address that chapter of my life. All I will say is I wish him the best wherever he is. I do not have time for negative thoughts. I am too busy raising a young man.

We love new projects!

I have fallen down and made mistakes and so will my child. I allow him to have some space to make decisions but provide structure. He has had spankings and time outs. I have time outs and count to 10! We use Stress Away a LOT! We cry. We laugh. We make healthy choices & we eat fast food. We swim and we have lazy days. I kiss his boo-boos and we cuddle and we annoy the crap out of each other. And I would not change this life for all the gold in the world.
