Never Thought I'd Be That Mom but Here's a Product Recommendation ...

     So, I’m not a mom who wants to most expensive, top-of-the-line, name brand baby gadgets. I’m also not a mom who endorses specific products very often. But I am a mom who searches for the best deals, lowest prices and best functionality when it comes to the things that I am going to throw my money at. So, I was STOKED about this formula dispenser I found on the good ‘ol Amazon (prime because, ya know, elite status). 😉
     I had the typical dispenser with three compartments and a spout on top and I was fine with it. It was given to me when I was pregnant so it was free, which I’m always down for, but I have shaky hands and major klutzo-syndrome (that should totally be a real thing) so I lost half the formula on the counter, my clothes and the floor, especially if I was making a bottle in a moving car. Then when we went to deliver hand-me-downs to my British bud Jazmeen in Austin I, of course, left the dispenser and an entire gallon of baby water on her counter. So they became apart of the gift package she received from me that day.
     My daughter is not breast fed. She has never been breast fed. (Comments about my choice not to breast feed will be accepted the day between you can go to hell 🔥and let me mark the spot where you can kiss my big, white butt 🎯). Given this, however, formula is a daily part of my daughter’s life which makes it apart of my daily life. And as I am a mom/student/working woman with a million things to do, I am constantly on the go which makes a travel dispenser vital. And I’m telling y’all, this one is super fab!
     It’s called the Simba Stackable Food Container and Formula Dispenser. There are four containers which screw one on top of the other with an attachable spout that goes on the top one. The spout actually sits down in the bottle so I don’t lose formula, which is great for a hot mess like me! And, because I’m anal retentive, I can move the empty container to the bottom right away and my next pour is ready to go when the hangry baby makes her next appearance! This thing cost me 7 bucks and, for that price, I can’t even complain about the ugly colors!
     If you formula feed or have a toddler with a rapid snack-etite, I think this product is a must have! Lord knows it’s made it’s way through four donation trips in my house, so you know I love it!!!!

New Chapters Can Be Hard to Start but Turn the Page Anyway

     Today Lola and I pack up and leave to start our next adventure. For the next year we will be living in Dallas with my godparents while I return to work and get the money together to buy Lola and I a permanent piece of the world. I never cared much about owning a house or calling just one place home but when I got pregnant I knew I wanted that for my child. So I set the goal and now it’s time to achieve it.     So, here’s the story of where I’ve been prior to this: I had my own home (a rental) in a teeny, tiny town called Peaster that I loved. It was pricey but it was mine and I was making it, sometimes by the skin of my teeth but I was making it. Lola’s father, my boyfriend at the time, had been living there a couple of months with his two children. Things weren’t going well after we began to cohabitate and it was becoming obvious that our relationship wasn’t going to survive long-term. That was even more obvious two weeks into my pregnancy when I came home sick from work (I

Love at This Age Isn't What I Thought It Would Be. It's Better.

Image
      It's the thing that all rom-coms and dramas are built around. It's the thing that every song is written about. At my age, love looks alot different than I ever thought it would when I was 17.      Once upon a time, I thought love was all about butterflies, passion, flowers and chocolates and getting naked absolutely as much as possible.Then, when I never found anyone who could keep the excitement of what I thought love was going, I decided that it must not be for me. Then I met Bryan. Bryan was my first true romance after becoming a mom and he has taught me everyday what real love is.      It started off just like everything does: new, exciting, passionate intimacy and all the things that bring on those famous butterflies. We have been together almost a year and we are still in what most people call the newlywed phase. But, neither of us is teenagers and our expectation of romance and love look so much different than it did before. For the first six months of our

Grand Insanity

Image
Okay, y’all. Let's talk about grandmothers. My mother is an amazing, accomplished person. She is a nurse. She is an IT guru. She is my go-to person for many things in life. She also drives me to drink, as the saying goes, some days. She adores my daughter. Lola is the highlight of her every moment. She is the proudest of all proud grandparents and that makes me elated. My daughter wants for nothing. If she needs diapers, a month’s worth shows up on my doorstep. If she is outgrowing a set of pajamas, five more are provided for her. Teething toys? Done. Socks? Done. Wipies? Done. She has relieved so much of my burden as a single mother and I will forever be indebted to her for that. HOWEVER, she is so literal that it makes me crazy some days. I post a picture of Lola and I snuggling together and I get a snippet about co sleeping and how I will never get my daughter to sleep alone. I post a blog about the downfalls of dating and her question is, “So doe
