Disclosure: This post is sponsored by Netflix as a part of my participation on the Netflix Stream Team. All opinions are always my own. Growing up, I was a very shy little girl. I was never the loud, outspoken or lively-type like my little one is now except for those times I was around my family. I was more of the "quiet type."

Motherhood Out Loud: Not Just For Moms!
October 7, 2011 by 10 Comments
Call me crazy but ever since I was a little girl, I wanted children -- specifically a boy for the first-born. At the tender age of 21, I found out I was pregnant and no, it was not planned but I was gleaming with joy. I like to say my son matured me.

I dressed him, played with him, took him to the park (which … [Read more...]
