Interviewer:  How old were you when you had your [first] child?


O: 21

I: Was it a happy time? If no, who helped (if anyone) you get through it, or did you do it alone?


O: When I gave birth to my first child, my son. I was just a baby myself. It was a happy time for my boyfriend (at the time) parents. My family really didn't like my boyfriend so it was kind of like an "oh hell she's pregnant" type of atmosphere. Even though my boyfriend and I lived together for three years at this point, they still didn't seem thrilled. But they were supportive!My mom allowed us to live with her for the first few weeks after I gave birth. That was a turning point in our relationship and her feelings towards my then boyfriend. 

I: If you could go back in time would you change anything? If so, what and why?


O: I would make sure my education was complete. I would have established a career to provide a prosperous future for my kids. Because now at 31, I just received my first degree. I'm struggling to find a job in the career field. Now that I have two kids I feel as if I am running out of time to provide an adequate amount of funds for my kids future. 

I: What brought you to this blog?


O: Seeing Angel as an everyday mom like myself struggling with the same issues as myself brought me to this blog. 

I: Does this blog help you out?

O: Yes this blog helps because I am reminded that moms go through the same emotions and feelings, just under different circumstances. This blog helps because Angel Encourages us regardless of our struggles.

I: What was/is your biggest obstacle as a mother?


O:  Trying to balance time between myself and family


I: How do you balance being a Mom, Having a job (if  it applies) and having a social life?


O: As of now I do not have a social life, social media is my social life. I live out of state with no family, just my husband, myself and our two children. It's hard for me to balance mommy life, wifey life and me time life! I honestly don't have any balance between the three, I just go with the flow!


I: Thank you so much for taking out the time to be apart of my very first interview series! I also would love to thank you for following and reading my blog and helping making my dream progress You really don't know how this makes me feel!!!

The children

Image
 Whether we want to believe it or not the children in our lives play a very special and important role! Although we feed, clothe and take care of them (which is our job) they add so much value and purpose to life that we should treat them as such. It's really easy to get tied up and busy with all that life throws at you but again these kids of our didn't as to be here so it shouldn't reflect as such. I said this to say do you value the littles you have in your life? Do they know how important they are to you? Do make them feel that they are special? With so much hate going on in this world it's up to us to show our children they mean the world to us. Now I'm not saying they are perfect little angels lol but I am saying the way they turn out as an adult begins with the molding and shaping we do as parents and guardians. As parents we know life can overwhelm us so bad and we just break down and hide in a dark corner. But reality of it all is we can't do that to th...

Don't be so hard on yourself

Image
             Pause for just a second, how have you been treating yourself? Have you been taking some time out and at least giving yourself some time to breath? or have you been so busy because you feel if you're not being productive your wasting time? Honey let me tell you, I'm the type of person if I'm not doing something productive I feel like I'm just wasting my life away. Listen mom, we have so many jobs and the pay isn't great at all. We get no sick days and no PTO! We work 24-7 and vacations are rare, so when I say it's OK not to be so hard on yourself I mean it. Let me tell you a little about myself. I have three children: 9,2, and 1. So my hands are pretty full especially this summer.  A normal errand free day in my household consists of Waking up, making breakfast, clean something in the house, give everyone a snack, clean something else, eat lunch, TRY TO MAKE THEM NAP AT THE SAME TIME, fix or clean something e...

Healing from heartbreak

Image
No one is perfect, nothing is perfect. Things we look forward to sometimes disappoint us, we put expectations on things. So now you're dealing with pain and don't know what to do? So many feelings and emotions running wild through you but you feel stuck. The relationship you had is in a hard place, and now your heart has been broken and now all you're thinking is what to do now?   Don't think you can't move on from this, you can! It may take some time BUT here are a few things you can start with: 1: Acknowledge the pain The first step to fixing any situation is to acknowledge the it, shine some light on it. You're human and I think sometimes we all forget that. We forget that pain and other trials and tribulations come along with life. So instead of bringing the issue to light so you can rebuild yourself we bury them. Which is NOT the smartest thing to do. You have to bring it to light so it can be addressed and worked on.  2:Reach out to the one w...
