Hello!

This is my first blog, and I know there are some out there who don't actually know me that may read this, so I will start off a little back ground.

I have three living children and they are quite an adventure, but I don't have my hands full, I have a full heart. I'm 23 years old and I get a LOT of comments about how young I look and often snide comments about having children. I was a teen mother. I had my oldest living child at 17. Being a parent at such a young age has made me realize the important things aren't going out and partying every weekend or going to prom(which I missed), but spending time with those little people who make my life not only interesting but amazing.

For the purposes of this blog I will be calling my children by nicknames to protect them. My oldest (5) will be Robot Boy, middle (3) will be Monkey Man, and youngest (6months) will be Scootchie Butt.

I'm one of those mothers a lot of other moms talk about behind their back. Non vaxxing, 'extreme' rear facing(my five year old still happily rear faces), cloth diapering, bed sharing, anti RIC(though I did have my older two circed but that is another post), I make my own baby food, I spend less time than I probably should cleaning and more time cuddling, I swear(often), I raise my voice and then feel guilty, I can't seem to stick to a schedule, I have the occasional alcoholic beverage, I let my children wean themselves from the breast. I'm obsessively protective and my children are rarely out of my line of sight, much less my hearing. My older two boys have speech impediments, and are rough and tumble constantly coming up with a new bruise or scrap for me to kiss.

And, quite frankly.. I gave up caring what others thought years ago. I love my life, most of the time, and I always love my children. I may bitch and moan occasionally but at the end of the day I tuck them in with a kiss and read them a story then lay down with my baby and nurse him to sleep.

I hope you enjoy the blog. I intend on putting out a post once a week. lets see if I can.
