People Pleaser
"What do you want to be when you grow up?" said my teacher. That was an easy question for me. I had known the answer since preschool, the early age when you first begin to understand that people have jobs. I may not have understood the complexities of a career, but I knew that people spent a lot of time there, so if I was going to pick something to do with the rest of my life it was going to be something that made me happy.

Living as a Depressed Mom
Being a mom is already hard. While we are trying to live up to everyone's expectations of us, we often forget about taking care of ourselves. I am a proud mom of a 3 year old and a one month old, and while I love them more than anything, I struggle day to day with crippling depression. There are all different kinds of depression and the level of severity can change from person to person and from day to day. I am no expert on the subject but I can offer an insider perspective of a mom who struggles with depression.

Unsuspecting Mother
I’m 22 with two beautiful little girls that I never expected to have. I've heard many women complain about getting pregnant and it not being planned and how they hate it and all this and that. I'll admit when I found out I was pregnant with my first born I lost it, bawling my eyes out. I wasn’t in a stable relationship with the father, we were friends with benefits to put it nicely. I was so scared he'd walk away from me and I’d be a single mom all alone.
