From Chaos to Clockwork(ish)

I used to think a schedule was something you either had or didn’t. Over the last year I’ve learned it’s more like a muscle—one that gets stronger every time I practice it with my youngest kid. When I first started tracking our days, mornings felt like scattered puzzle pieces: early wakeups, breastfeeding, diaper changes, solids, and my own shower squeezed in wherever I could fit it. I worried constantly about doing it “right.” That’s when I began using Stan—my AI app—to help me plan and log our routine. Stan isn’t a person in the room; he’s the application where I organize timing, transportation, and feeding windows so I can look at the end of the day and actually understand what happened. The act of writing everything down in that app helped me see our rhythm instead of panicking inside it. My youngest kid has experimented right along with me. We shifted bath times to evenings so mornings stayed lighter. I started showering before bed and packing bags the night before—retail life does...

Halloween

 So today is the third Halloween for my two-year-old to celebrate in his life, For his first, he was a fox for his second. He was the DuBarry boy. And now for his third is gonna be Sully from monster Inc. I’m feeling very proud of him, but also conflicted with anger because all three of these Halloween’s. I have missed.

I just wanna see my kid and be around him and it feels like every step of the way I’ve met with this aggressive nature of no. This is my son too, I have all of my parental rights and my son has child rights too. He’s a little brother. He’s been bonding with. Shouldn’t they be allowed to see each other? I’m ...

Choosing Peace: A Young Mom’s Decision to Move Forward

  Looking back on the last few years of my life feels like flipping through chapters of a book I barely recognize myself in. I was young, hurting, overwhelmed, and constantly trying to save everyone but myself. I didn’t understand boundaries yet. I didn’t understand emotional maturity. And I definitely didn’t understand what it meant to choose people who actually chose me back. In 2022, I was in a relationship with my firstborn’s father. At that time, I thought helping people meant fixing their pain — even if it cost me my own stability. When a group of people we knew were struggling during a blizzard, I drove across multiple states to bring them into our home. I thought compassion meant sacrificing everything. I thought love meant rescuing people. What was supposed to be temporary support quickly became chaos. Mental health emergencies, hospital visits, and nonstop stress took over the environment. My partner and I were still basically kids ourselves — a 19-year-old girl tryin...
