The Reason

Today I wanted to write about the whole purpose of starting my blog. I think I have said it before but it is to help prevent teen pregnancy.  I think living in a small community everyone knows of you because you had a kid at seventeen. Even all of the surrounding towns know of me especially with social media these days.  I got the feeling that I was making being a teen mom look too easy and thats not what I want.  I post all of these cute pictures of my child and I share all of my accomplishes with social media but I wasn't sharing the negatives that come with it all too.  That is why I started this to share the cold hard truth of the struggles and frustrations to teach kids that you do not want to be in my situation.  I try to put as much positivity into it as possible but I feel I need to show you the negative side so kids know it is not all fun and games.   I decided to do it on a blog so it would get out to more than just who I have on social media. ...

"They're Real!"

I have been blessed with naturally long eyelashes.  I am always getting compliments on how long my eye lashes are and a lot of people actually ask me if they are real, which makes me laugh.  Another question I get asked a lot is what kind of mascara I use (I could be a walking mascara salesman).  I have honestly never really stuck with a specific mascara.  I always just bought whatever because my eyelashes are already long.  However, I just recently found a mascara that is a game changer.  The mascara is called "They're Real!" by benefit.  It only takes a super light coat for your eyelashes to look amazing! I usually apply two coats of mascara, but with this one it only takes one.  I love the name and it goes great since I am always telling people that my eyelashes are real.  Here is the link to order!  https://www.benefitcosmetics.com/us/en/product/theyre-real-lengthening-mascara   They do offer a travel size that is half the price...

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...
