WHERE HAVE I BEEN?!


It's been about three months since I've last blogged I'd say.... Ooops!!! Part was being hectic and the other part was that I just lost total interest in blogging :(!! I was in a constant writers block and I was finding it very hard to juggle two kids, a job, and I guess my private life.

So, where what I have been up to in the last three months?!? Well, first of I got my first job.. YAY!! it was only a job for christmas as Emilee was only four months old and well, I needed to get my ass into gear.  I felt so cooped up at home all day that I felt I needed a change, and well I went and got a job to see if it would help me. and it did!!

Many would love to stay at home with their babies, but I felt that I needed to see if I was more of a working momma or a stay at home momma...?! and still to this point, I have no idea haha!! maybe a part time job after Emilee turns 1, but beggars can't be chooser so I guess ill just go with the flow.

So, as my job was pretty much full time after four weeks, I barely got to have time with my babies let alone blog, so I pretty much forgot about blogging and focused on work. Then my contract ended, and I was truly gutted, I fell into a little hole where I just wanted to stay at home.. (The one reason for getting that job)

Its been a month since my contract ended, and I'm just about getting used to being a stay at home momma again. Emilee is so more active and Kayden, well he's a little nutcase/teenager.

We have been making plans to move AGAIN!!!! (Ugh!) Which is in about two weeks, so we've been painting & sorting out our new home. Praying this is the last time until we have our own home to move into :)!

So between working, moving and adjusted to being a mumma of two my blogging has really felt left out!! hopefully I will change that from here on in :D

Ive got a little notebook from TK MAX, so ill be jotting down ideas for blogs, crafts, and hopefully some baby recipes as Emilee is on stickily homemade meals!! and she's loving it, Her favourite meal so far is Sweet Potato and Carrots!! She hasn't tried much as she's only 7 months old and has been on solids for about three weeks, so what I am doing is giving her one vegetable a week and then ill start mixing vegetable and other foods! Exciting :)

And I've also noticed, Kayden has an imaginary friend who he talks to all day!! Its pretty freaky but I guess he's happy!! haha! He constantly gives out to him for doing bold things and comes running to me telling on him, which I have no idea how to react, other than being freaked out haha!!

This what happens when I blog, i just ramble on and I've no idea where this blog is going haha!
Anyway thanks for reading,

Emilee's 2 month update

Can I just take a minute to acknowledge that Emilee is TWO months old!! TWO MONTHS?!
where has the time gone :( 

AGE: 8 weeks

WEIGHT: 12 pounds! She's a big Girl :)

HEIGHT: 54cm, she's grown 4cm since birth!

SLEEPING: sleeps for 4 hours at a time, sometimes will go a little longer at nighttime. Night feds are starting to get exhausting, its just starting to hit me now LOL

TEETH: No teeth! Thank god ;) 

PLAYING: Is starting to notice Mobile thingy (Not sure what its called) but starting to coo and gas at the little toys!!

PERSONALITY: Emilee's personality is definitely starting to show, she's such a happy baby! Loves the attention and whats to be talked too all day! She loves to be sat up and looking whats around her, will only lie down for napping! loves to stick out her tongue! She will smile if you kiss her on her mouth! 

CURRENT CLOTHING SIZE: So now she's completely out of newborn clothes (Some vests still fit her) Still getting wear out of some Up To One Month clothes, But mainly in 0-3month clothes!

DIAPER SIZE: In size 2 nappies! still has a good bit of room for them!

WORDS: Coo'ing like crazy! Trying her hardest to talk back at you!

RECENT MILESTONES: Starting smiling at around 6 weeks at my voice but now is smiling ear to ear seeing mammy, daddy and kayden! Smiled at her Auntie Sinead last week! Sinead was delighted! She has also found her hands! Mad into trying to suck her fingers or thumbs! She will follow anything you put in front of her :)

She has a appointment next week for her two month injections and I'm honestly terrified for her! I hate them so much, and to see her cry is going to kill me :(

She's doing great and I'm so blessed to have a happy and healthy baba :)

 *Isn't her top so cute! All the way from Australia*

Our morning routine

My morning usually starts when kayden walks into our room.

I'm a pretty light sleeper so I always hear him getting out of the bed and pit n pattering into ours!
He opens the door, then crawls into our bed.

If I'm lucky he will fall back to sleep and I get the extra wink of sleep, but usually he's full of life!
He doesn't have a set time when he wakes up, it could range from half 7 to 10!

Emilee usually wakes when she hears kayden in the morning, and with that she's usually hungry so I pop her into bed with me and feed her, sometimes she will fall back to sleep, other time I've to give her the bottle.

Once I've finished feeding Emilee, she's then burped and changed and put back into her crib!
If its really early, and kayden is too awake for me, I hand him the iPad to watch Peppa pig and I lie down beside him! 

I usually wait until he's asking me for his breakfast to go downstairs!
Emilee is usually asleep by now so I leave her as she is and head downstairs with kayden.

I pop on the tv, it's between cartoons or football that's on in the morning!
Kayden then gets his breakfast, it's a pick between Cheerios or wheatabix LOL!!

When he's breakfast is finished, I then get him dressed for the day!

Emilee is still upstairs at this stage so I head up to her to see if she's still asleep, if so il get ready myself if I've plans for the day, if not il tidy, wash bottles, anything that needs to be done.

I then remember to get breakfast!
I then catch up on all my social media - Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, snapchat!

With all that happening, Emilee is up! Due to be feed, changed and burped!
She'll then be dressed and awake for about an hour!!

When Emilee is all settled, it's usually around midday and it's time for kaydens nap!!!

Finally :)

Nothing really to hectic for the morning time.
It's a whole different story if I'm going off with the kiddies!!

We all go for a nap in the afternoon until Pietro is home from work!

Emilee's One Month Update

I can't even come to terms that my little girl is already One Month old :(

She currently is weighting 9pounds 10oz! 
And I haven't measured her length yet :)

She is still being breastfed plus the odd top-up with formula!
Breastfeeding is going well, I breastfed in public for the first time this week. It was a little bit daunting but it was a success! I used a cover given to me by a friend, so i was well covered up. But to me coving up makes it so more noticeable and people stare more! but I wouldn't go bare breast on show haha! 

Im currently trying to increase my supply so i can't cancel out formula altogether! 

She has fussy hours between 11-half 1 at night, I think this is due to wind gathering during the day and her being over tired! but once she settles she sleeps until 7 in the morning. 

She loves staring at lights or the windows, And she has starting to focus more on my face during feds.
AND.. She smiled at me :D Proud momma moment :)

Emilee loves being close, so I'm planning on baby wearing! Ive researched lots of baby wraps, but most are from the US and the shipping charge costs as much as the wrap. So i've found a wrap in Boots which it looks like I will get it. Its called the Caboo carrier and the reviews are looking good :) 

She is currently in up to one month clothes, but still fitting into newborn vests. 

Not else much to say as she just sleeps, eats, poops and repeats :P !!



My recovery is slowing down a bit.
Ive been experiencing very bad back pain. Its mainly in the lower part of my back. 
I thought this was due to after effects of the epidural, but I've been told its because I'm on my feet all day and my back id still very weak that it is being strained. So from that I'm trying to rest a little more. Not pick up anything heavier that Emilee!

Bumpdate - How i'm feeling!!

Guess who's finally "Full Term" ??
ME!!

Ahh can't believe I'm 37weeks! (well 37 weeks and 4 days.. the 4 days count LOL) Which basically means the baby can come any day now! 
Scary but SO exciting!

With every twinge or pain, My thoughts are "Is this it? Is this labour?" Haha! 
Im going crazy with just waiting around, I know the baby will come when its ready but OMG I want to meet this baby NOW! Like i'm seriously about to write a eviction notice ;)

So I thought i'd do something different than my usual Bump Update and just write how I'm feeling just off the top of my head!

Being so heavily pregnant is not the most glamorous look you can be LOL, I'm just at the stage where I want to be in loose airy clothes, no make-up and hair up in a bun and just lounge all day!

I'm usually at home most of the time, my energy levels are so low and its so hard to walk up and down the stairs LOL! I'm really feeling the weight of the baby this week, and with that its hard to walk or stand for long periods of time. I had the same thing with Kayden and he was 8 pounds. So I'm really expecting this baby to be a big baba aswell!

I've actually lost a lot of weight. Im lighter than I was pre-pregnancy weight! Which I was so surprised because I'm always hungry haha!

My belly has grown so much in the last week! Which my back is feeling all of it! And I've also got myself a little "Waddle" haha! So embarrassing but hey, it comes with being pregnant so I'm just going to embrace it ;)

Sleeping is so hard lately! I can barely turn in the bed (Myself and my mam had a little giggle about it) Im constantly getting up for bathroom breaks!
But a huge thing is that my feet are just constantly roasting? Its so weird! Like they are so warm ALL the time that i can't even wear socks! Walking on the tiles is the only relief i have haha!

Kayden is a gem for me lately! He knows the baby is coming soon, and none stop asking questions about the baby! He is just the easiest toddler right now and I'm so grateful for that! All he does is ask for something and I do it for him (If I can manage)
Of course he has his moments where he whinges and cries but he gets over it fast! 

Cravings are not as extreme! I do have the sweet cravings that I can't have!
but a new one is the feeling of brushing my teeth? and taste of the toothpaste haha.

But yeah, My bags are completely packed and ready to go! 
Im running out of patience and just about being done with being pregnant LOL!
But so thankful that I've made it to 37 weeks. With all the things that happened during this pregnancy, all I wanted was to make it to 37weeks and yay we've done it :D!

I've no idea if this baby will come early or not, My GP thinks I won't make it to 40 weeks! but you never know! 

I was 4/5 days over with Kayden! So I'm pretty sure il be over again :)
Well? if everything goes well with the scan tomorrow! which il talk about next week :)

Thanks for reading!

26week update!

How far along? 26weeks :) two more weeks and I'm in my third trimester :D !!
Baby is the size of an eggplant, 9inches long and around 2pounds.
Weight gain: Haven't put on any weight in two weeks, other than.2kg which isn't even a pound, little worried about weight gain as I feel I should be putting on more. Unless my body is waiting for the last trimester to pile them on ;) So its still at 13 pounds weight gain.
Maternity clothes: Guess who went maternity shopping yesterday :D! ME! New Look has lovely summer clothes at the moment. Got three tops and a nice pair of jeans :) Pretty chuffed with what i got. 
I'm usually not the one to go for 'cliché' tops like 'hands of the bump' 'Pregos' but i couldn't resist this time around! might aswell take advantage of this bump while I can, I'm sure i'll miss it once its gone!!
Stretch marks? Ive noticed a few of my old ones are turning more redder :( so pretty sure its the start of them now. Not moisturing as much as i should be so I'm not trying my best to avoid them either! 
Sleep: Its been a hard week of trying to get comfy, between bathroom breaks and dead legs i can hardly get comfy, but as soon as i drift of, I am out for the night! Starting to get harder to get up in the morning :( Kayden comes into my room as cheery as ever 'GOOD MORNING MAMMY' ..... my response ... '5 more minutes'  LOL! he's a gem in the morning, has no problem getting in beside me playing with his toys and reading his books, those extra minutes really do count ;)
Best moment this week: Nothing exciting this week, other than my easter break :) its so nice to be at home with Kayden and not having to worry about college the next day! 
Miss anything? Not really, since I can go for naps with kayden and at home all day, its been a pretty well rested week :)
Any movement? This baby is strong LOL! More kicks over my belly button this week which could mean he/she has turned (Still a lot of time to do so anyway), My belly is starting to move with the kicks so I can actually see when he/she is kicking which is pretty cool :)
Food cravings: Not really, just if i see chocolate... i have to have it haha! 
sickness? Still feeling nausea after showering, woke up this morning feeling a little ill, but i think I woke up to fast LOL :)
Gender: ;)
Labour signs: Nope!
Symptoms: Tiredness, low energy (Get so tired from cleaning the house lately) HEARTBURN!! my god its been crazy lately! I've been feeling pretty great other than that :)
Belly button in or out? In!
Happy or moody most of the time: Both!
Looking forward to: I've my scan tomorrow which I can't wait :) then just enjoying the rest of my easter!! As when i get back to college its going to be cray cray :(

BUMP UPDATE

How far along? 25 weeks :) (Tomorrow)
Weight gain: Haven't weighted myself this week (oops!) 
Maternity clothes: Yes! I tried on a maternity top yesterday just to see how it looked, AND it was a shock to see how much bump has grown! my blouses still fit so ill wait out a little longer ;)
Stretch marks? No new ones :)
Sleep: Starting to get uncomfortable, but still sleeping okay :) 
Best moment this week: Finally getting my broadband sorted :D! Still have to wait a day or two until its activated but YAY! been almost a month without wifi :( !
Miss anything? Being able to walk up the stairs in college! oh my, its starting to take a lot of effort haha! 
Any movement? Yes!! I can tell already this baby is going to be an early bird in the morning! Must take that from his/her daddy! Myself and Kayden LOVE our sleep ;)!
Food cravings: Nope :)
sickness? yes! I've noticed after the shower I get a little nauseous, not sure its from the heat of the shower or standing up for too long?? never experienced this with Kayden!
Gender: SURPRISE!
Labour signs: Nope!
Symptoms: Hunger! It struck hard this week haha! 
Belly button in or out? In!
Happy or moody most of the time: Happy this week! :) I think LOL!
Looking forward to: My scan is next week :) Haven't seen the baby since January so that's pretty exciting :)

Thanks for reading :)

Worries, worries, worries!!!


When I first found out I was pregnant, I was a little worried about Kayden becoming a big brother...
Will he adjust to a new baby coming into his home?
Would he understand that he's not an only child anymore?
OR mostly.. Will he feel left out?

But as time went on, I seen how he acted with other kids, caring, sharing and always including them in his playtime. He's so good at just walking up to kids and becoming friends!!

He's always been included when it comes to the baby.. he sings, tells stories and kisses my belly so much! And even says "I love the baby" :)

My worries came to a stop when i realised that he will most likely be perfectly fine adapting to a new baby.

But then the question hit me.
Am i ready???

My attention is always on Kayden, He has my full attention.. when it comes to bathing, getting dressed, feeding, playing etc...
Im always there.

And I know that will change SO MUCH having a new baby to care for.

It's scary..
Im scared that Kayden will feel left out because I can't give him my full attention anymore!!
Its so hard to put into words on how much I worry about Kayden being left out or how he feels towards me not giving him my full attention!

Of course we will have our moments that i will make sure will happen! 
We will still enjoy our crafts time.. painting, drawing etc
We still will cuddle on the couch watching TV or in bed in the morning.
and of course if he asks me for little things, i'll be there!

It's worrying to me, will I love this baby as much as I love kayden?
How could i love someone else as much as I love kayden? 
It sounds so silly that i think about this.. LOL!

But hey! Its worrying becoming a momma for the second time :)
I want Kayden to still feel like he's loved as much as he is now when the baby comes!

I do plan on buying "A big brother" present, and the baby will be giving him a little gift too!
I'm looking forward for him to come see the baby for the first time, it's exciting!!
How will he react? Will he know it's his little brother or sister??

Im sure everything will work out, and all my worries will fade! 
But as of now.. I need to work on preparing myself to be a momma of two! 

Thanks for reading

Struggling Being A College Momma.


Well, that was a fail! 
The start of summer I told myself to blog more & do so much more things in my life..
And no. I didn't do one thing that I wanted.

It's been.. 3/4 months since I've blogged (OOPS!)
I honestly forget to blog, or I'm just too busy.

But anyway.
Im currently in 3rd year in college (I know, I didn't think I would be a 3rd year LOL!)
It's the last year of my course, which means
WORK, WORK, WORK!!!!

AHHHHH!

And with being a full-time college momma, It's very hard to find time to myself!
When i'm at home, I'm constantly thinking of what I've to do for college the next day or next week.
And when I'm in college, All I want to do is go home & see my little pumpkin! (SADFACE!)

With Kayden being 2, He's starting to notice that I'm going more often & it kills me.
But I do get a BIG hello when i come back!

It's crazy to think that, this time next year, I could be graduating.. and have a degree as a graphic designer!!!

I'm trying to work my butt off with all the briefs, but it can be exhausting. I literally have about 4 weeks to get 5 briefs done. :( 
which includes a draft of a dissertation.... YIKES!

And I'm here, blogging LOL!

I'm not sure what I am going to do when college is over, it's kinda like my safety net! 

There is an add-on year.. but honestly the thoughts of another year in college!!!
But, i'll see when the time comes.

My weekday routine is basically;
Wake up at an annoyingly early hour (Still dark outside)
Make my face look half decent.. Especially when I'm up at all hours.
Wake Kayden up, & get him changed and dressed.
Drop him off to be minded.
Go to college for the day.
Come home, pick up Kayden.
Make dinner (If I'm not tired enough..)
Give Kayden a bath, and dressed for bed.
Give Kayden his Supper..
& put him to bed.
And thats when I put myself to bed.

And I repeat that the next day. Its exhausting!
but there is time where he stays in his daddy's house.. which can help but I'm still exhausted!

And with ALL that, I try and get as much college work as I can, to try and be ahead of things.. but at the moment... Im WAY behind LOL!

It's hard to blog, look after a crazy toddler and be a college student all at once.
When I do get time to myself, I really do make the most of it and do 
NOTHING!! lol.

But yeah, thats basically me right now.
I'm either tired, cranky, stressed or happy.
but it will be all worth it in the end.
fingers crossed!!!

TODDLER UPDATE!

Hey guys!

I was thinking of a blog post and thought to myself that i have done a toddler update in a very long time!

AGE: He is 1year & 10months as of today! another 2 months and he will be 2 :(

WEIGHT: Kayden was about 2 stone last month. Didn't get a chance to weight him this month yet.

HEIGHT: He is 33inches :) We actually got a wall sticker in Ikea that is a measuring chart! I love it! Great purchase!

SLEEPING: He sleeps straight through the night. Will go down after 9 and then will wake up around 9 also. If we are away for the day and he gets a late nap, he will go down later than usual but I wouldn't say he has a strict bedtime. Its usually around 9! And also he is in his own room which i think helps him sleep a lot better. as of recently he's nap time has been abandon a little, every now and again he does skip naps! which I'm going to find it hard to adjust as it is mammy time and i get most of the cleaning, washing and dinner done when he naps :(

TEETH: He has all his teeth apart from his four eye teeth, which i have noticed are just sitting above /below his gums, so in no time he will have them four! I was actually wondering when to bring him to the dentist as he does have a lot of teeth... I'm not sure though, he won't let the dentist go near him haha!

PLAYING: He very good at playing on his own when it is just him, but he also loves playing with other kids! Kayden is OBSESSED with football! like I mean obsessed. Its crazy how good he is at kicking the football and playing rugby for his age. There is no doubt he will be a sporty child, which means lots and lots of matches for Mammy & Daddy to go too :) 

PERSONALITY: Kayden is mostly a very happy toddler, but of course he has his tantrums and bursts of moodiness now and again. but it is easy to bring him away for the day or just stay at home! he loves his outings but is at that stage of not wanting to be in the buggy and wants to run around which is normal, but as a football fan he likes to dive onto the floor & it can get frustrating to get him to walk along side you! but I'm sure he will learn :)

CURRENT CLOTHING SIZE: He is currently in 1 1/2 year - 2 year clothing! he has a very narrow waist so most jeans/trousers might not fit him as well at his tops do! he is also outgrowing a size6 shoe!

DIAPER SIZE: Size 5/5+ at the moment.

WORDS: He will try to copy anything you say so i would say that his vocabulary is very good! i can't remember the words he says as there is many of them! but altogether he is good at talking and learning now to put words together such as "kick it" "Thank you" etc.. he can say please but will rarely say it lol!

RECENT MILESTONES: a bit TMI but he recently just figured out when he is going toilet, such as if he needs a "Poo" he will tell me! which is a great step to potty training! he understands you completely now, if you ask him to do something he will do it etc! Also i have introduced "Time Out" which is basically a corner that he stands in if he is acting up or not doing what is is told! basically we give him a warning first, and then if he doesn't listen, its timeout! Ive been trying to do a minute to his age, so its 1minute right now, and then i add a minute if it continues. After his time out Kayden will come over and say sorry with a hug a kiss and i remind him that It wasn't nice and thats why he went to time out.

So that is this months update! thanks for reading :)

SUMMER PLANS!!

Hey Guys!

So it's official, after next tuesday (an exam) I'm officially on SUMMER!
YAY!

I'm done and finished second year, to my surprise it went so fast i can't even remember what i did!
I've four months off until I'm in my final year, and these four months will fly by :(

So, I want to make the most of it.. That i'm PLANNING! Omg!

(Now, i do not plan! I've never been good at it, or it never goes my way!)

This Summer it will just be Kayden & I, and a toddler can get so bored and grumpy and hate being stuck inside - abit what Kayden is like at the moment ;) So i want him to enjoy this break as he is older and he's way more active than last year.

I'm blogging this whole planning experience so that i know myself what i have planned and what i have succeeded while planning (If that makes sense)

(Right.. to the point Aisling!!!)

This summer, I do not want to lounge around and do the same thing every day! I want to make the most of the time i have off college and with my little boy!

So, I'm going to list a few thing i want to achieve this summer.
  • I want to blog more. (Toddler reviews, outings, ootd, week in pictures, random things that I've always wanting to blog)
  • To do more crafts with kayden. I would love to do videos on how to make things. Toddler crafts, baby crafts, gift ideas etc. Maybe put them on youtube... MAYBE!
  • Have more daily outings with kayden. I don't drive so it will be hard to go far away (Unless Pietro is off and we go as a family) but more walks and discoveries for kayden!
  • Maybe vlog a few things. Now i know! some people don't see the point in vlogging or uploading videos to youtube. But I'm a momma, and i love taking pictures and videos! Just to have them as a keepsake.. I would love if kayden could look back and see what he was like.. they way he acted.. what he wore (Like boys care..) but its for me. not anybody else!!
  • SEW! I want to get crafty and make things for myself, Kayden or even gifts! I've a relation who is due a baby and i would love to be able to sew a blanket or make something for the baby to keep! 
  • This theory test has always been at the back of my mind.. or people keep reminding me about it (Pietro) but i should really do it, do thats my plan! Pass the theory test and get on the road! 
And.. I think thats it! If i have more goals/plans etc i will note them!
I really do hope i can do this. Some motivation is really needed!

Fingers-crossed!

I'M BACK!

Hey Guys!

I'm Back!! :)

It's been such a long time since I blogged last. 
I got caught up with college a lot this semester! between all the briefs - we didn't really get a break.

But since we are coming to the end of this semester of college, I'm now heading into my Summer Break :) YAY!!
I'm currently on a two week easter break, I then have four days to prep my end of year portfolio, and submit it.. and then its the waiting game for the results :( !!

I must say, college this semester has been stressful! It's been hard for personal reasons, I've had a major change and still adjusting. But hopefully by september everything will get back to normal!


The college briefs this semester have actually been fun. ALOT OF HARD WORK, but the end result is great!

I've made my first animation (Not as good as i hoped) 
no excuses but that its done!

I designed an App (Not published on android, just did the design.)

and a few small others that were group work and project design.



My Animation was close to my heart! (Soppy Aisling)
As soon as they mentioned it to us, i knew straight away what i wanted to do.
I had different ideas how to make it but as soon as i went at it, it got harder to make!

So, I painted. I painted every single little thing in the animation and my god i was sick of it!
And then, I had to photograph (while Kayden was running around at some point)


The animation is based of the circle of life. The mother is singing the song to her child as he grows up, he leaves to live his life and returns with his own child, the mother, now a grandmother then sings to the newborn.

Thanks for reading!

FACTS ABOUT ME; LIEBSTER AWARDS

Hey Guys!
Its been so long since i've been on this, honestly i've no time anymore!

Well, I've been nominated for a Liebster Award by the lovely Chloe <3 ( www.chaubelle.com )
I had no idea what this was LOL!

Rules: #You must link back to the person who nominated you.# You must state 11 random facts about yourself.# You must answer the 10 Liebster questions given to you by the person who nominated you.# You must pick 10 bloggers to be nominated for the award with under 200 followers.

11 Facts About Me.
1. I am beauty obsessed, crazy as it sounds. I'm obsessed with beauty channels on YouTube!! i tend to go out & buy what they have mentioned, even though it could be a waste not money LOL

2. I have an addiction!! ONLINE SHOPPING! Even though i'm on the mend now. I was crazy with buy clothes, makeup etc. honestly my doorbell rang everyday with something for me.. I've now learnt how to save my money haha.

3. I secretly want to be a vlogger/beauty guru on youtube! I want to do toddler video, crafts, updates.. Everything on youtube. BUT i'm scared what people will think, I don't want to be judged.

4. I'm very shy! I can't ring a company, order food.. ANYTHING!! I also can't go up to talk to people i don't know. I get all nervous and my speech gets all jumbled, i get all flush and look so hideous! But, I'm the opposite with my friends/family.

5. Im only in college for the sake of a degree. I don't see myself as a graphic designer, I picked that course because it was close to home & i wanted to go to college. Don't get me wrong, i love the people in my class, sometimes the briefs we get but i don't see myself in an office designing posters etc.

6. In my lifetime.. i have had a total of 6 piercings. All whats left is four; lobes, tongue, tragus & conch!
My lobes are since i was 13, my tongue sine i was 18, my tragus since i was 20 and my conch is from last year. my remaining piercings that i took out was my helix (didn't heal) and my tragus on my left ear.

7. Ive only one tattoo, It's Kaydens DOB! basically the meaning isn't just of Kayden's birthday. (People joke that i will forget his birthday) theres a very big meaning behind it, some may say cheesy. 

8. I have very many good friends, but out of all of them, I don't have a "Bestfriend" Iv'e had some in the past but there was issues and we fell out. THe only best friend i could say I have is my boyfriend! Don't get me wrong, I have some very very close friends that i love! 

9. I care what people think of me. Every since I became a mother. I get scared what people say or think about me when they see me with a child, even when kayden isn't around. I'm a proud mother & i love him to pieces but people do judge young mums and it makes me sick, to think of what they say. 

10. Im a very comfort person, I love hugs & cuddles. Or even just love. 

11. I'm not a confident person, I never really have. I need people to tell me I look nice or I did a good job to make me be happy about it (confusing i know). Or if people say something bad about me, i take it personally and get very down about it. it's just who i am, which I'm trying to learn how to get out of that mind-frame.

Chloe's Questions For Me.
 1. What's your least favorite thing about the blogging community?
