I am a first time mother and I have been told time and time again how much people appreciate my honesty about the struggles of being a mom and I should write about them. Did you know people have a very skewed view of parenthood? So here are some of the things I will talk about...
How did I manage to work up until I went into labor?
How did I manage as a already plus size woman to only gain 17lbs. while pregnant?
How and why did I have a natural unmedicated birth?
Why do I breastfeed?
How did going back to work (in my favorite industry) really not bring me back to my old self it just made me long for being a mother that much more?
How I struggle with working out and losing and gaining weight.
How there are days (much like today) where I cant even walk through Target without a meltdown from my little one because she doesn't want to sit in the cart, have me hold her or want to hold on.
But I will also toss in a few Pat on the back post about the fun things I get to do as a HAIR/MAKEUP ARTIST, CLOTHING DESIGNER, KNITTER, & MAKER OF THINGS.
Mind you these are things I am trained in and are merely my own views and love of things. I want to share my knowledge with people on a lot of DIY things that can happen in this world.
So I will share some...
videos or fun quick hair and makeup looks (you know for the super busy woman)
how to...make a quick healthy meal
how my kid make me crazy, made me laugh,made me cry, made me love her even more
ways I spend my day making things
ways I try to stay in shape so I feel good about my body
I hope you will enjoy this new journey I am on and also follow along with me. I am an open book so please feel free to ask me questions. Things may or may not get "graphic" so please be advised in advance.
