I HAVE NEVER BEEN A SOCIAL BUTTERFLY. In fact, I’ve suffered from social anxiety terribly since I was a teen and it’s really hard for me to make friends. And while I suffer from social anxiety, I’m not anti-social; That can be a hard concept for people to understand. I want to be included, but…
This is me. At 35 I am probably 10+ years older than most beauty ‘influencers’ (can we stop using that term in 2019 BTW? ‘k thanks). I don’t have a Pinterest-worthy apartment, and my Instagram feed isn’t countless shots of me posing against graffiti murals in designer clothing.
A letter to the one who made me a mother: You really didn’t want to join us on the outside, Little Bird. I was two weeks past due, three days of failed induction in, and you were still showing no signs of joining us! Heck kid, you almost were a December baby, but at…

[dropcap]W[/dropcap]ell, I don’t know about you guys, but I blinked and it was 2018. Of course, a few months back when I was VERY pregnant, I probably would have said that 2017 was the slowest year, ever. Unlike 2016, which was a straight up crap year for me, 2017 really was pretty decent. Obviously, finally…
You know, before I got pregnant I would read articles all the time shedding light on pregnancy-related no-nos.
