Be the BIGGER Person

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. Because if I am pointing out the negative in other people, what does that say about me? Don't only be the bigger parent, try to be the bigger person in every situation in life. This is something I have really been working on and it is a great quality to have.

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...

I am the Lucky One

Yesterday I was looking on my Timehop and a blog popped up that I shared a year ago (I didn't write it). It was titled "Why I get to hate you." https://noonetellsthetruth.wordpress.com/2015/02/14/why-i-get-to-hate-you/ All of the points in the article were spot on. But the article also made me realize that I am the lucky one. 1) I got to witness all of the firsts. From rolling over to walking, riding a bike, talking, the list goes on and on. Those firsts brought so much joy to me. Mason was actually walking for a month before you ever knew. The only reason you found out was because I finally told you. As a parent you are so proud of your child, I would never want to miss that! 2) When Mason is sad, hurt, or sick who does he call for? Not you. He wants me, or even sometimes he wants his Grandma or Aunt Bree. We have been his caretakers his whole life. We give him comfort, you don't fit in in that category. 3) I am the one who is...

Up&Up Advanced Whitening Wraps Review

I have never tried anything for whitening my teeth before because of how expensive it is. The past few times I have went to target I noticed how much cheaper their up&up whitening wraps were. I was curious how they worked so I decided to give them a shot. I purchased them for $14.39 on sale. They are normally $15.99 a box. It is a 7 day treatment but they come with 10 upper and 10 lower strips. I was very pleased with the results. I have definitely noticed a difference in the whiteness of my teeth. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking to whiten their teeth. The picture down below is of my before and after results after 6 days of using the whitening wraps. I have also included the link to the whitening wraps. http://www.target.com/p/up-up-7-day-advanced-whitening-wraps-14-count/-/A-15291394#prodSlot=_1_3
