How becoming a mom has changed me.

The world used to revolve around me before I had my son.

I drank till all hours.

Was out with my girl friends partying.

When I married my husband I changed but not as much as when I had my son.

I saw life differently after I pushed a human out.

Being a mom is the best job I've ever had. He's my absolute favorite person who can make my day better with just a little toothy smile.

Why my husband makes me feel like I have two kids.

I don't remember my husband being this much of a child than now.

I'm not sure if it's cause all the toys and stuff we get our son reminds him of being a child or he just secretly hid his immaturity from me all these years.

But every time we buy Jake a new toy it's like he got a new toy. He claims to be setting it up, but in reality he plays with it.

They are even worse together. That's why I count my husband as my other child.

Poison control knows my name.

So my home is child proofed but I still had to call poison control when my child ate a piece of my deodorant.

I'm not sure how he did it by he managed to get ahold of it and take a bite

I Called poison control out of panic and they reassured me that it was fine and to watch for symptoms.

Then the asked my name. I spilled it out and realized after the call was over that what if they took my child away?!

They didn't but the point is, don't underestimate a sneaky toddler.

I said I would never.

I said I'd never formula feed my baby.

I said I'd never co sleep with my baby.

I said my baby wouldn't come between the relationship I have with my husband.

I said I wouldn't spank my child.

I said I'd never become the suv driving mom.

I said a lot of things and I've broken them all.

Do you have what it takes?

Babies. Can you do it?

So you think you're ready for a baby cause they are cute and cuddly? 

Ha. 

Are you ready to be sleep deprived beyond belief?

Are you ready to put someone else before you?

Are you ready to change millions of diapers?

But most of all, are you ready for this? 
A happy messy loving family?


Why I rear face my toddler.

I know you've heard it all. About how forward facing can be deadly, and how babies spines aren't fused or ready to forward face in their car seats at one.

I personally read all the information. Watched the crash test videos and researched every seat.

I chose to rear face because I felt like it was what was best for my son. I truly believe he's safer facing the trunk.

Why Starbucks should give me a percentage of their earnings.

Oh Starbucks.

I love you.

And I hated coffee. But now I need it on an IV drip.

And I'm not a coffee snob, I love coffee from anywhere not just Starbucks. Even gas station coffee if it must be done.

But Starbucks is the only one I can order when I leave the house and pick up ready through the drive though.

Mobile order has seriously saved my life and time on my routine.

Now I'm pretty sure my husband only works for my coffee habit but he's just as bad.

So Starbucks please, give me more than just the occasional free drink. I deserve it.
