2015 Review

Happy New Year!!! Mason and I have made it to another year.  It seems like such an accomplishment every year.  2015 was a great year for Mason and I.

We started out 2015 with Ryan and Leah's wedding.  Mason made an adorable ring bearer and he had a blast dancing the night away.  Also in January Mason had his second surgery.  He took it like a champ.  There were some positives and negatives to having been through it before but the recovery this time went a lot smoother.

I had my 1 year anniversary working at TCB in February.  That means my 2 year is quickly approaching.  I am still enjoying it there.  My family tries to accuse me of converting over to a Knights fan, but I say I just like to support everyone!

In May a lot of things happened.  Mason turned the big THREE! I don't know how I can be the mother of a three year old already, but I am.  He has grown up so much and he won't slow down.
I applied for a mortgage loan and also put an offer in on a house and it was accepted!
Mason attended bible school for his first time in May.  Aunt Bree helped out in Mason's classroom so it was a lot of fun.
Mason gets to attend Sunday school now that he is three.  It is a great time for him to get to spend with other kids.

Finally on August 1st I closed on my house.  I had great help from my moving crew.  They say they are not moving me again for a very long time!  I also had some paint helpers.  I am loving being a homeowner.  It is a lot different from renting.
Mason loves that he now has a yard to play in. It is also close to the school so we can walk or ride his bike to the playground, which is one of his favorite things to do.
At the end of August I became a KEEP Collective designer and I am really enjoying it.  I love the jewelry and the extra cash on the side is nice too!

This school year we have been trying to go to all of Aunt Bree's sports games.  We love to cheer her on and the rest of the Bulldogs. Grandma still watches Mason for me while I am at work which is such a blessing.  As everyone knows, Mason LOVES Grandma's house.  Mason enjoys spending lunchtime playing with Grandpa and Uncle Ryan.  Great Grandma is my backup babysitter which I greatly appreciate as well. She always has treats in her pocket for Mason wherever she goes.  Mason is one spoiled boy!

For Halloween Mason was a robot, which Mason is obsessed with!  This year Mason really got into Halloween and trick or treating.  For Christmas this year he got to be in the church's Christmas Eve program.  We practiced his lines multiple times a day and every night before bed.  I was impressed with how fast he memorized his part.  It was a lot of fun to get to watch him.

2015 was a great year and I hope 2016 is even better.  I am excited to watch Mason grow up even more.  I am so lucky to have him in my life.  He has shaped me into the person I have become and I can't wait to see where we go from here.

  1. Kylie,
    I have so enjoyed reading your blog about your life with Mason. I live so far away I haven't had the chance to share your life, but I am very proud of all your accomplishments! I hope I get the chance to meet my first great grandchild one of these days.

    All my love and encouragement for the best new year,

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 ...
