Mason Update

The other day Mason went to the eye doctor.  It was our third time going because I have always been concerned about his vision since mine is so bad.  Unfortunately my fear came true.  Mason has my astigmatism.  Mason will be in eye glasses no later than age 4.  The doctor didn't want to put him in glasses yet because he would just fight them and it would do more bad than good.  We will be going back in 6 months to get his eyes checked out again.

Mason is FINALLY potty trained!!! It is very exciting. No more diapers except at bedtime.  Mason loves wearing his "big boy pants."  He has been doing great and I hope it continues.

I had a couple days off from work this week using up my vacation time before the end of the year.  I loved getting to spend some quality time with Mason. We went swimming which is Mason's absolute favorite.  It was nice enough that we got to take multiple trips to the park.  We also drove around and looked at Christmas lights.  Mason LOVED it.  He really enjoys all of the lights around town, especially the trains.  I think we spotted 3 or 4 in town.  We attended more of Aunt Bree's basketball games which we really enjoy.  Mason loves to socialize with all of the kids there. Mason also enjoyed a one on one ice cream date with Mommy.  It has been great getting to spend so much time together.

Thoughts On "Why the Strongest Girls Are Insecure"

I just came across this article today on Facebook and it reminded me so much of myself, so I had to share it.  At the end of the article I will share my thoughts on it. Why the Strongest Girls Are Insecure By Holly Riordan She has high standards. She won’t settle for boys that treat her disrespectfully. She won’t hold onto friendships that are toxic. She won’t let anyone that brings her down remain in her life.  But she isn’t a hypocrite. She holds herself to those same standards. She expects herself to reach the stars, so she hates herself on the days when she sits in bed with a bag of chips and skips the gym. On the days when she doesn’t get enough done. Of course, no matter how much she accomplishes in life, no matter how much love she gives, she keeps pushing herself further. She wants to do more. To be more. Because she knows she’s capable of more.  She’s insecure, because she believes in her potential and she knows that she hasn’t reached it...

That Thing Called "Co-Parenting"

Co-parenting.....oh the joys!   This has been a hot topic on my Facebook newsfeed lately.  I think anyone that has to co-parent doesn't enjoy it.  It can be very difficult and a huge struggle.  Some people are great at it and I envy those people.  Some people wish they could parent alone instead of having to co-parent and I have been right there with you.  Over the past almost five years my co-parenting style has definitely evolved.  Right now it is somewhat non-existent and that is just the way I like it. I have decided that Mason's father can choose how much involvement he wants in Mason's life but I am not going to go out of my way to force it on him.  The door is always open to call Mason whenever he wants and to come to Mason's activities.  Even though that door is open.....he rarely uses it.  I inform him of the things that I am legally required to notify him about and he will text me randomly every once in awhile to see how Maso...

It's Been Awhile

Hello readers.....I'm back! It has been awhile so I apologize for that. I have been super busy and I had kind of lost my "why" for the reasom I started this blog.  But thank you to an Instagram follower who asked me to keep blogging! (p.s. go follow me on my Instagram-kylieschwindt I love hearing from you guys)  The whole reason I started this blog was to prevent others from becoming a teen/young mom, to help others that are in my situation, and to give them someone to relate to. In a way this blog is sometimes difficult for me.  I like to be a super positive and happy person and lets face it,  there are a lot of things about being a single mom that aren't positive.  It can be a very difficult job but Mason is so worth it! I don't like to share the negative parts but that is kind of the point of this blog.  It is to show other girls that you don't want to be in my situation.  So that is why I kind of strayed away from blogging but I am back and will ...
