About Me

If you want to add me as a friend please send me a message, there are too many random people on here. If you are (or should be) on meds to control crazy moods swings and random acts of psychosis DO NOT EVEN BOTHER!!! ******To breastfeeding moms and soon-to-be moms, being a new mom is hard work, I'm trying to put informative As of June 1st, the LLL Breastfeeding Helpline - US is fully operational. There will be much publicity coming out very soon for the helpline, yet in the meantime please help in spreading the word for the breastfeeding community to call 1-877-4 LA LECHE (1-877-452-5324) for 24 hour toll-free breastfeeding helpline services. ************************************************************ ************************************************************ ************************************************************ ********************************************************Welc ome, and thanks for stopping by! I'm the proud mama of two fantastic daughters. Jordan is 7, quirky, intelligent, precocious, and the most wonderful, loving human being that has ever graced my life. Kamilah is 1 year old, she's into everything, I think I actually gave birth to a baby octopus. Every day is a new adventure, and a huge blessing. My girls are the loves of my life, and the most important part of who I am. As you can tell from my profile, I am a HUGE breastfeeding advocate and try to inform/advocate it as much as possible. I hope to be starting back to school soon for my RN. I'm hesitant, I don't want to miss anything in my girls' lives, they are growing up way too quick.A Woman Should Have... ...one old love she can imagine going back to and one who reminds her how far she has come... ...enough money within her control to move out and rent a place of her own even if she never wants to or needs too.. ...something perfect to wear if the employer or date of her dreams wants to see her in an hour... ...a youth she's content to leave behind, but a past juicy enough that she's looking forward to retelling it in her old age... ...a set of screwdrivers, a cordless drill, and a black lace bra... ...one friend who always makes her laugh, and one who lets her cry... ...a good piece of furniture not previously owned by anyone else in her family ... ...eight matching plates, wine glasses with stems, and a recipe for a meal that will make her guests feel honored ... ...a feeling of control over her destiny... Every Woman Should Know... ...how to fall in love without losing herself... ...how to quit a job, break up with a lover, and confront a friend without ruining the friendship... ...when to try harder...and to walk away... ...that she can't change the length of her calves, the width of her hips, or the nature of her parents... ...that her childhood my not have been perfect...but its over... ...what she would and wouldn't do for love or more... ...how to live alone...even if she doesn't like it... ...whom she can trust, whom she can't, and why she shouldn't take it personally... ...where to go...be it to her best friend's kitchen table, or a charming inn in the woods when her soul needs soothing... ...what she can and can't accomplish in a day...a month...and a year...
