Raw and Honest Blog of a New Single Mom

I am a single mother of a biracial baby boy just trying to make it on my own. This journey is hard, yet rewarding. Blogging is my therapy, these words are my heart, and people doing better and being inspired by what I have written is my passion and hope.

Sitter Abuse

My mom kept my son last night and since I was tired she asked me if I would be OK with her taking my son over to my aunt’s house before she went to work so I could rest and because my aunt has been dying to watch my boy. I told her I suppose [...]

“Rape”

I’ve been meaning to do better at updating. Really. I have. I’m not dead and I love keeping this blog up. I guess really my life as a single mom .. and well my life period has been uninteresting. Life consists of nothing more than work, sleep, baby. I’m so proud of Jack. He can [...]

Smiling, Sleeping, Learning, Tummy Time

You know .. I have no idea what this Colic is about. I have no idea why it seems my son is “good” with other people, but screams his head off with me. I’m told it’s the way all kids are because they are more comfortable with being uncomfortable with their parents. Ok, whatever. I [...]

Confession#1 : No More Colic!

Bye Jack, Hello Sid Vicious

Who is this big boy? The big boy who almost badly hurt my precious little Jack 3 times in 2 hours. First Jack fell off the bed, then Jack fell out of the chair both times when I turned my back for one second to get a bottle, then Jack nearly went under the water [...]

So Much For Frugal Living ..

Is this not the cutest thing ever? Seriously. How could I withstand the urge to buy an abundance of BabyLegs when leg warmers on my son’s little muscular legs just so happen to be the cutest thing I’ve ever seen in my life? And you know cold weather if just around the corner … So [...]

How the F* Did This Happen?!

My son has been sleeping perfectly on his Boppy Lounger since he first came home from the hospital. He seems more comfortable on the pillow than a flat surface so he sleeps more content. I know he’s getting big now, nearly too big for the lounger, but for now it’s still a fit and we’ve [...]

The Focus is on My Son

Day by day things are getting easier. I’m re-adjusting, restoring my mind back to how it was pre-August 17. I think I’m OK now. I’m not going to lie and say I don’t miss him. That it’s not hard for me to see him sign online and fight the want to message him. But I [...]
