My Breastfeeding Journey
Today I wanted to talk about my journey and experience breastfeeding. August was National Breastfeeding Month, and even though I am posting this blog technically in September, I still wanted to share my journey. I would have loved to post this in August, but you know, mom life... lol. I'm still getting the hang of balancing mom life with my new blog posts and video uploads, so bare with me! Hopefully as time goes on I'll get the hang of things a bit more.

Still living at Home In your 20s
So you just graduate college, you got a job, and you're looking to move out. Turns out that rent is so damn expensive, like $1,100 or even over $2,000 depending on whether or not you want to live in New York City or some kind of suburb in the middle of nowhere. It's the middle of a pandemic in 2020 and people are getting laid off left and right. What do you do? Only fans? Ask parents for money? You've had it up to here with your parents and want to live with your friends just like in the college days. But what? Well, here is why it sucks to still live with your parents.

Chiraq IV
Chapter 4 At around 7:30 P.M., the atmosphere at the barbeque slowed down to a dull mode. Big Shorty heard the name "Top Cat", then heard Top Cat's voice as it reverberated off the walls inside the townhouse. Top-Cat was decked out in black khakis and a blue bandana that was tied around his head. His eyes were dark and looking into them was like looking into an abyss because they displayed no expression, no smile. Clearly making a statement regarding the caliber of Gangsta he definitely was. Top-Cat stood motionless as his eyes zoomed in on Charles, deliberately making it aware that he was suspect and as Charles saw, he returned Top-Cat's stare while sipping on a can of beer.

What Happened?
For me as a child, the year 2020 was just as far away as the stars themselves. No computers, no internet, just the good ole days...right? We had cartoons that we all watched religiously on Saturday mornings like The Flinstones that poked fun at the simplistic idiocy of what a functioning society of "cave folk" may have been like, straight from the mind and beautiful imagination of Hannah Barbara. Not long after The Flinstones, Fred and Wilma would air among the same Saturday morning line up as George and Jane Jetson, each character having a futuristic counterpart..George and Fred. Wilma and Jane. Judy and Pebbles and how could we forget mans best friend in the past, present and future, Astro and Dino. Maybe Elroy was the counter of Bam Bam. I'm not sure but you get the gist.

Best Cases for Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra
The Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra version is one of the most cutting-edge phones in the market, but it's also one of the portable and high demanding phones in 2020 as well which can be purchased without emptying your bank account. Combine that with the luxury price tag that Samsung demands, and you have a recipe for disaster if you dare to take your new phone out into the world naked.

Molotes
I bet that most people have never even heard of Molotes! I know them because I was born in a place that many people absolutely love making and eating them. I was born in Puebla, Mexico and moved to Colorado, USA at a young age. Where I grew up it was very rare to find other people that have even heard of molotes. I want to change that and share my joy with more people.

New Mom Life 101
This is something that was a huge issue during my pregnancy. Everyone always made pregnancy sound like such a beautiful and glowing time. Which, don't get me wrong, it is beautiful. We are creating another human being. That being said, that glowing and such was a load of shit. At least for me it sure was. Being pregnant was the most miserable nine months I have ever endured. I started from the time I took the pregnancy test. We were trying to get pregnant.I knew the day I went home from work sick that was the day I should have gotten my period, so I knew exactly what that test would read when I got home. I was nauseas and thought I was going to pass out. And the sickness didn't go away for a long, long time. Then after that it was constant exhaustion and hurting feet. A lot of that was probably my fault, I didn't slow down after I found out I was pregnant. We live on a farm, so there is no slowing down for me. The animals are mainly all mine, so I don't like to put the burden on Ty to take care of them, especially when it comes to milking the goats. Thankfully he helps as much as he can, even when I am not too excited about it. Thank goodness because I was on bedrest for a few weeks because our baby tried to come six weeks early.

Chiraq III
Chapter 3 Big Shorty and Dinky-G heard the beat of "Gangsta-Gangsta" from N.W.A. coming from the speakers. They walked into the living room and were surrounded a potent cloud of smoke that were heavy from the blunts that were being smoked at the card table near the front door. As the Gangstas walked in and were getting accustomed to the atmosphere, Big Shorty gave a quizzical smile as he saw the Lords smoking dro and playing spades. "Almight!! Almight!!," came from the Lords at the card table. It was well known that only the Lords used that word.
