The Real Life Story of a Teen Mom/Kylie&Mason

I have always been terrible about drinking enough water in a day.  I especially struggled drinking enough water when I was pregnant.  I am sure everyone in high school at the time remembers me carrying around my big water bottle of tea everyday because I was so tired of water!  I have been trying to work on my water intake because drinking water has a lot of great health benefits.  That is when I came across this great water bottle. It is a motivational water bottle.  It gives you a schedule for drinking water.  It has definitely helped me with my water intake.  It helps me to visually see how much water I have drank and how much more water I need to drink for the day.  A big motivation for me is that water helps you to lose weight.  I have to keep telling myself that.  I posted the link below to go check out the water bottles if you are interested! http://www.funfitca.com/sipping-schedule-water-bottle.html

Ever since I became a mom at a young age I have taken on a role of someone to confide in for young boys and girls on the topic of teen pregnancy.  This is not something I had planned on or something I have advertised for, it is just something that has happened.  You would be surprised by the number of people that come to me with pregnancy scares or advice.  But I want to add that I always keep it confidential.  If someone comes to me, I don't go and tell anyone.  I am glad that I can be that person that they can talk to.  I love being able to help them because I was in that same situation.  I know how scared they are.  I know what their thoughts are and I had no one to go to.  But at the same time it is hard for me.  Every time someone comes to me thinking that they might be pregnant or that they are scared they got someone pregnant I literally get sick to my stomach.  I want to cry every time.  I hate the thought that they mig...

As a teenager my mom always complained about how messy my bathroom was.  There was always makeup and hair products all over.  Over the past couple years I have come up with a few ways that work to keep myself more organized when it comes to my bathroom.  All of them were very cheap and inexpensive. 1.  Shelves- I got these shelves for free which was awesome!  You would normally put them in your living room but I decided to put them in my bathroom to put all of my different products on.  It works great to display them all for you to see where they are easily accessible, and not have them cluttering your bathroom sink counter space.  This is probably my favorite organization tip. 2. Make-up brush holder-My make-up brush holder was also free.  I just used a glass jar that someone was giving away and some purple glass beads that my mom didn't want anymore.  I put the two together to make myself and make-up brush holder.  It works g...

Throughout my journey of being a single mom I have learned that sometimes you just need to be the bigger person.  Even though sometimes it is so hard, I have to tell myself that I am better than that.  Sometimes I would love to screenshot texts or post conversations to show the world what I am dealing with.  That is the 20 year old coming out in me but then I remind myself that I can't act like a 20 year old.  I am a mother I have to set a good example for my child and all of the other mothers out there.  No one wants to know your drama.  Even as I am writing this I want to say things that I have been having to deal with for the past 3 years.  Honestly the most ridiculous things that you couldn't even imagine.  I don't need to be the one to paint a picture of how you should look at someone else.  They can paint that picture for you and you can make your own judgements and opinions.  I only want to show you the person that I am.  Bec...
