“You look too young to be a mom!”

Or how about …

“You have a BABY? No! You look like a baby yourself!”👶

“Are you the nanny, ooor … ?”

“No, yeah I’m his mom,” I’d reply. “Yes, I am young,” I’d agree.

Considering I got pregnant straight out of college, I was certainly on the younger end of the parenting spectrum. (No one was more surprised than me, I assure you.) And yet, I wasn’t exactly a teen mom. I wasn’t juggling school courses and motherhood, like so many s...

i finally let him do it

I finally let DF throw away my foundations. He says I look better without it. He said he hates seeing me cover my face with make up when I can just wear mascara and eyeliner.

What do you guys do when they start doing this? My Britax came with these long rubber strap covers but I took them off a while ago when he was to small f...

TRIGGER WARNING
