Can we stop Mom Shaming?

Ya’ll. Ladies. Well, I say ladies, but your husbands are making just as many comments as you all are, so let’s stick with what I had originally… Ya’ll. Stop “Mom Shaming”. Or if your household is anything like mine, where D and I are in agreement with how we are raising our child, “Parent Shaming”….

20 week update

I fully understand and appreciate that most of you come here for Lee stories, so let me start out by saying that Lee had THE BEST Christmas! D and I try so hard to strike a balance between spoiling him with toys we know that he will love and educational toys that we want him…
