    Elsa, Thanks for Facilitating a Love for Learning and School

    A love for learning and school is so crucial for our children. I am very anal when it comes to my daughter’s education because I want to set her up for success in whatever ways I can. When I say that Muffin loves her school; MUFFIN LOVES HER SCHOOL! In a zombie apocalypse, if Lariah…

    First night away from baby..

    For those of you that follow me on Instagram, which you all should 😉🤗; you saw that last weekend I went to Gatlinburg, TN and was partying it up for my fellow mommy friend’s bachelorette party. 🎉 4/7 of us ladies had kids and for 3 of us, it was our first time away from…

  • New Year: Same me. Still Crunchy!

    New Year: Same me. Still Crunchy!

    Happy New Year everyone! It is a great thing indeed to be able to see the ending of one year and beginning of a new one; another opportunity to be happy, lively freely, and enjoy life! I for one tend to shy away from the “new year, new me” mentality because I don’t strive to…

    Mommy money management or the lack thereof..

    Sigh, it’s time to get real with my fiscally irresponsible self… Before I ever got pregnant, I took GREAT pride in being independent, financially stable, and mature. Naturally, my financial stability was based on me supporting just MYSELF; so when I peed on that stick and it turned positive less than 5 seconds later, all…

    “Tired as Mother” doesn’t even scratch the surface!

    Y’all ? the past couple of days have been so mentally and physically DRAINING and FRUSTRATING that I’m pretty sure I should be in tears, but my head hurts and my blood pressure is low because I’m dehydrated because I still breastfeed my 2 year old and my throat hurts because I have an acute…

  • “Smooth as a baby’s butt”: Baby Skin Care!

    “Smooth as a baby’s butt”: Baby Skin Care!

    People love touching Squally’s skin because it’s so soft and smooth; it only helps that she always smells super good (her most recent scent is milk and honey). The saying, “smooth as a baby’s butt” to me implies that you pop out a baby and they have this smooth skin and you don’t have to…

  • Our first FULL week of scheduled toddler activities!

    Our first FULL week of scheduled toddler activities!

    Squally is not enrolled in anybody’s daycare. Why? Because I don’t believe that there is any daycare flexible and focused enough to give me the peace of mind that I need to succeed while I’m at school. I am potentially going to enroll her in daycare once she starts talking, but for now, we have…

    15 months check up!

    Good morning all and Happy Martin Luther King’s Day! ???? The Squally Squad is starting the day at the doctor’s office for a standard 15 month check up. As much as I hate going to the doctor for myself and hate waiting to be seen, I do love bringing Lariah to the doctor! It is…

    Let’s make some decisions: formula vs breastmilk… ?

    Before I get too far into this controversial topic, we ALL know that I am a PROUD breastfeeding mama and I am more than willing to feed my child any and everywhere she decides to get hungry. That is just me! But there are many considerations that need to be taken into account when one…

  • New year, new mom-me ?

    New year, new mom-me ?

    Squally Muffin would like to wish everyone a Happy New Year!   She started off the new year trying, yet again, to eat some oatmeal with a spoon, and as you can see in the picture, that did not go very well…so she said forget it and used her hands! She even put some in…
