No Help Just Judgment for Families with Disabled Children
We've all seen the posts on social media: "People on food stamps need to get a job" and "if you can't afford your child then you should have used protection." These are common statements we see and hear on a daily basis. It's not that simple and here's why...

Motherhood
Well when I first found out I was going to be a mom, I was terrified that I wouldn’t feel the same way. I was only 22, just got married to my best friend, and I was ready to party with my girls on the weekends. That was the best thing in the world to me. Fast forward to today, 23 years old, still married to my best friend, but now we are raising a perfect son together. So, is it really the best in the world?

My Children Were Not Accidents
As of right now, I am sitting on the sofa watching my two sons play together. The eldest is two years and two months, the youngest is one year and one month and I am thirty weeks pregnant today. I am twenty four years old, my husband is twenty three, we planned all our children and yes, we want more.

Blessings from the Womb
About two years ago, I had people I liked to consider as friends. I hung out with these people, stayed the night with them, went to parties with them, etc. I was young, fell in love, and messed my whole life up over a relationship that was just as disgusting as it could be; the more I think about it as an adult, the more vulgar it becomes. Well, this was a person I'd known for years already. Also, I was introduced to so much; I was introduced to drinking, drugs, a whole list of things no 17 year old should.

My Children Are My Greatest Blessings
I always dreamed of being a mother... When I was in Kindergarten I started saving toys and clothes for my "future children" in a small wooden box that my grandpa made for me. I wanted to be prepared for when I would one day be "mommy's age" and have a baby. As I grew older, I didn't want to rush into getting married and having kids, but I still kept saving things and being sentimental for when it did happen for me.

Kids & Technology!
I'd like to start this blog by saying, "What happened after my generation?" I remember growing up with NO cable, no cell phone, dial up internet, no tablets, Xbox, PlayStation, etc & I survived!!! I had the outdoors on most days, actually every day! I had a VCR and cassette player. I don't even think I had a DVD player until high school, & even then, I hardly used it. I was allowed maybe an hour with ALL my cousins to play Nintendo (the old one) once a week at my grandparents' house & when that gaming system broke, we didn't get another one!!! We had a movie night once a week at my grandparents' as well & usually it was an old Western on VHS!!!
