As part of an addictions course, I need to give up something for two weeks, and I’m choosing social media - a welcomed assignment if we’re honest. Logging off for two weeks. Hit me up on the portable if you need me….but trying to l
This is my favorite most surreal photo in quite some time. Holding the youngest of my gaggle of children, signing a book with my story in it, taken by a man I love. Not to mention the friends and women who supported me… How did I get so freak
Had my period this week. I also have two toddlers who don’t let me go to the bathroom alone. So, we had a little impromptu bio class. Jokes on me, now every time I go pee I have two toddlers shouting “I want to flush the blood.” T
