a whole year and one half

18 months of life has flown by so fast. I look at my little man and I can't believe the journey we have begun together and how much life is so much more fulfilling with him in it. everyday matters so much more, every night of stories and brushing teeth has become my whole life. he has taught me more lessons than I could hope to teach him but one day I hope I am able to have the chance to return to him the happiness he brings me. so far, this has been my favorite age of his short life. he is so incredibly smart. he talks to me and plays and listens when he's told; we eat breakfast together and wear sunglasses in the car and pick out our outfits (there's a slim chance that we're leaving the house without some form of a hat if it's up to krew). he's learning so fast and teaching me so well and I love this boy of mine. every tantrum and "toot toot" as I am trying to put him to bed. Yes, he farts to be funny and make me laugh, these have made me appreciate life. and especially the one I am raising.




My senior year is ending fast, this is the most important and stressful time of my life so far and life is spinning around me but we're holding steady and going to finish strong, there are amazing things ahead of us and I can't wait to take the next step of life and see what the future has in store.
On a side note, there is nothing easy about being a single mother, or a teen mother. Pictures you see on the internet does not mean that someone has a perfect life or seems to have it all together. As far as my life, my family is the foundation under my success as a working mother and student

it's been so long

Okay here it goes, I think it is safe to say we are going to start our blog posts again! I know it may seem like no big deal but for me this is a way to document my son's life and to be able to share with my family who I am and how much I appreciate everything they do for me. I know my first few posts will be spaced out but I am doing my best to get back on the wagon and start sharing my experience as a mother. I hope one day Krew can look at these posts and first of all, laugh at how silly his mom is for trying to be cool and second, smile at how hard I tried to give him a fun and stable life that I care about so much. Being a mother is the most amazing journey, even for a young woman who has barely started her own... having him by my side has given me the extra encouragement and strength to do things I am scared to do alone. We have gone through many ups and downs since last summer and have finally got on track to a bright future! Some things you may have seen through my social media over the last year...

And in between all that, lots and lots of homework... stressing.. moving.. unpacking... and working.

My senior year is going by so fast, I have been working so hard and staying focused to Graduation and before it's too late I want to start documenting these memories and share with my friends and family the impact they have on my life and how much I appreciate each and everyone that has helped us. Thank you to all who love and support us and I can't wait to share more of our journey!
WE ARE BACK! STAY TUNED!
