My Birth Story: How I Almost Lost My Life To Preeclampsia

Sunday, May 12, 2019

*Sigh*

It's taken me five months to write this and honestly if it wasn't Mother's Day, i'm not sure I would be writing it now.



But when I started reflecting on being a mom and what that means to me, the first thing I thought about was the day I became one and how it was nothing I ever imagined it would be. How scared I was and how in the days after I wasn't even sure I would make it home to be with my daughter...let alone make it to my first Mother's Day.

I'm writing this for moms-to-be so you always remember to advocate for yourselves throughout your pregnancy and birth and for moms who have gone through this, to know you are not alone.

So, here we go...my birth story.

Apparently starting an urban garden has become all the rage and I love it!

Some years are better than others and what i've grown has changed but i'm supper happy to share how to start an urban garden with you all!

10 Healthiest Fruits You Need To Start Eating Today

Tuesday, April 23, 2019

If you're looking for a quick way to clean up your diet? 
Look no further than your grocery stores fruit section. 

healthiest fruits

After having Baby Bean I became a snacking queen. Mainly because when you have a new baby in your arms, it's pretty damn difficult to find time to eat anything...let alone a healthy full meal. 

So grab n go junk became the norm-- a hand full of fruit loops here, a bowl of pretzels there...an entire bag of chips SMH ya'll get my drift. 

Unfortunately, all that snacking caught up to me and a week ago I stepped on the scale I was back to my pregnancy weight...I knew had to make a change and thats where fruit came in.

Nap Trapped and 4 Other Times I "Hate" Being A Mom

Saturday, March 16, 2019

It's hard to believe right?


That there are points where a mother could actually "hate" being a mom. I put hate in quotes only because I don't really ever hate being a mom, I love my kid. But there are very many points where I STRONGLY DISLIKE having the responsibility of being a mother.

However if we let movies and the media (social or otherwise) tell it disliking mommyhood NEVER happens! All moms are perfectly well adjusted, happily living your ideal momming goals day in and day out. Hair perfect, outfit perfect, child perfect. 

And if your shit ain't perfect like that image or you dislike anything about being a mom. Well, you're just not doing it right and maybe you're a bad mom *insert mom shaming and guilt here*. But none of that is true, if you have moments of distress, depression or moments where you question "how is this my kid" or even "hate" being a mom. 

YOU ARE NORMAL!

And in the name of transparency i'm here to share my top 5 times when I "hate" being a mom.
