Look At This Madness

When you have a baby, talking to yourself becomes a totally normal thing Why does everyone say they hate the smell of spit up? Her (or his) first words were "hi" and "mama".....yes, she was only 2 months old at the time, but it happened That spit up stain on you see everyday on my shoulder, that's called a name tag: "Mom" My baby is the cutest on the planet, obviously Baby wipes? You mean makeup removing wipes? Who needs a special burp rag that cost 10 dollars when you have kitchen towels? Imagine if I had as many clothes as my baby You know it's time for you to eat when baby starts crying Please, be happy and content for 10 minutes so I can get ready for the day I can't wait for you to start talking and walking Why can't she be the size of a loaf of bread again?! Babies can be blamed for any bad smell or when you're running late Why do people have more than one baby? Now I get why people have more babies

Yesterday I was at Goodwill with my mom and brother and while I was looking at the clothing, my brother asked me what "Paige as a mom" wanted for Christmas. It was in that moment I realized, I don't really know what I like any more. All I could think about was diapers or Starbucks and Starbucks really doesn't count. I've found myself trying to figure out what I actually like besides anything to do with Ella and boy, it's a tough one. When your little person comes into the world nothing else seems to matter - nothing.  What do moms like? I like face wash and face lotions or grocery shopping... Anything organic or all natural... plants are neat, like the scallions I'm proudly growing in a cup in the kitchen. The scallions are like my little plant children. I'm 21 years old and that's all I got on the list of 'what I like' - What an odd thing. Mom Likes: plants groceries face lotions eye cream organic all natural nifty cooking spa

It's amazing just how much the world revolves around sex. Women post pictures of themselves wearing just a bra and underwear. The latest Netflix original television series almost always have both male and female nudity. The clothing is getting more see through and skimpier by the minute. In this world we all want attention. It seems the attention we get from those who matter often isn't enough. Some find an outlet in social media sites called Instagram, Tumblr, or Facebook to fulfill the needs we think we need. The bikini we know today grew in popularity in the 1950s, it was shocking to the world and back then it covered twice as much more skin. Since then, swimsuits have drastically plummeted. More boob to show, more butt to show, less and less skin to cover. At this rate, we'll all be walking around naked in a few years. Let's hope not. I guess what I am trying to say is, the only approval you need is the approval you give yourself. Confidence comes from within,

And like that I was captivated. His delicate touch and warm hands were a sort of comfort to me. We drove in his car for a while. I could feel the life running through my veins. Something I can’t say I had ever experienced until that very moment.  Although it was cold outside I did not feel cold. Not this time. No, this time I felt loved and that was all the warmth I needed. I could see it in those beautiful brown eyes. The drive felt like a dream in which I never wanted to cease my slumber. It was as though everything around us disappeared and all that mattered was this picturesque journey we had embarked on and the two of us.  As he pulled up to the curb he kindly sent me to the back seat and got out of the car. Moments later a beautiful woman sat in the front seat. As I carefully watched the two, their smiles captured my mind and captivated my body leaving me breathless. Listening to them talk to one another was on of the loveliest things I had ever heard. It was that moment I kn

"I don't need it," she says. So she continues driving in the lane to go home. Moments later her blinker is on.   She is now in the lane to make a right turn instead of the   lane she should really be in headed for home.   "I don't need it! I don't need it!" And once again she is back in the lane to go home, where   she of course should stay. "But I want it" So she looks over her shoulder quickly to find a truck is in   her Blindspot and she can't get over. So she stays in the lane to go home. Seconds from her   house she is weak and screaming. "I want it!" So she makes a U-turn feeling defeated yet exhilarated. A minute passes. "Hi, can I get a venti iced carmel macchiato upside down   with only 3 pumps of vanilla." "That will be [a   thousand dollars] and 25 cents, we'll see   you at the window."   My mom, sister and I are now at the point that our drinks   are often being made before we

I had been getting a severe pain in my lower abdomen for a few days, to the point I felt I was going to pass out. It was terrible. At the time I was living in Washington with Matt and I didn't have access to a regular doctor's appointment because the closest Kaiser was in Oregon. The only option was to go to an emergency room but I didn't think something like this would be serious enough, so I put it off a few more days. Stress got the best of me in those few days. What if it were a cyst or worse, cancer?! I guess you could say I am a worry wart. So one night after I got off of work at Michael's we finally decided it was time for me to get checked out. We get to the Emergency room and they ask me a list of questions. "Is there a chance you are pregnant?" I didn't think so. One in a million chance. "Have you been bleeding?" I just got off of an 11 day period.  Next thing I know they roll me on over to get an ultra sound and as the tech get

Here're my ideas, now take a peak Ideas that are strong and never   weak Add some color and humor to Making it perfect just for you Cards for Christmas or your   birthday Always expressing what you want   to say Something simple, something   sweet All expectations, a card should   meet "Merry Christmas, now have some   cheer" "Don't forget the eggnog and   maybe a beer" "This Christmas season try not to   pout..." "Laughter is what the season's all   about" "May your Holiday season be   filled with all that brings you Joy." "No need to cry..." "At least you didn't die. Happy   Birthday" "It's your birthday...." "Do what you want."   "It's only another birthday, don't   shed a tear..." "You've only grown older by   another year" "The word's not over, you still   look great" "Even if you've gained a little   weight" P
