Organization

My whole life I have loved organization.  I just think it makes life so much less stressful.  I was voted most organized in my senior class.  I was always very organized in school and that came in very handy when I started college with a child.  When I started college my planner became my bible.  At the beginning of each semester I wrote every assignment for the whole semester down and all of their due dates.  I had each class color coded by using different colored pens for each class.  That way I could plan everything out.  Not only am I organized, I am also a planner.  Once I finished an assignment I would cross it off.  I learned that procrastination is not the way to go.  It felt so much better to get all of my assignments done right away so I could relax for the rest of the week instead of stressing about school.  Now that I am done with school I still use a planner to stay organized.  I write down all of the days Mason will be at his dads for the whole year.  I just got done filling out the calendar for the year 2015.  It makes it so much easier when people ask me if I have Mason on a future date.  I also use it to write down doctor appointments for Mason.  I just ordered a 2015 agenda planner off of http://www.maydesigns.com/  They are 30% off right now!  You can design your own and personalize it.  They have so many cute designs it makes it hard to choose.  You can choose anything from a calendar to a budget journal or an exercise journal.  Pictured below is the outside of the planner I designed.

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...

My College "Secret"

Someone asked me the other day how I went through college and was able to make it financially while paying for a child so I figured that was a great blog topic.  The first thing I told her was I am just naturally a saver.  Anyone who knows me knows I am very cautious with my money.  If I buy something you can bet it was on sale or I used a coupon.  Today at my family Easter we were actually playing family feud and the question was "What do you call someone who is careful with money?"  and my brother answered "Kylie."  I guess you could say I chose the right profession. From the time I found out I was pregnant I strongly believed that no one should have to pay my way or my child's way through life just because I got pregnant at a young age.  It was my decisions that had got me to that point so I needed to be responsible for my actions. I know this isn't possible for everyone but I knew it was possible for me.   I have had a "real" job ever s...

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...
