Blogging Mommy Kayla :)

The Blogging Mommy is Kayla

Her Kiddos are Jordan Kurtis & Miley Ashley

Her location is Moncton,NB

How old are you now and how old are your munchkins?

I am 22, Jordan is 5 and Miley is 5months 🙂

If you could describe your child in 3 words what would they be?

Jordan is Smart, Funny, Loving
Miley is Beautiful, cuddly, Loving

What’s an average day like for you these days?

Depends on the weather, Miley can’t use sunscrean yet so we can’t go outside if its too hot which it has been so during the day we usually just chill out watching cartoons,crafts,go shopping,play games, then after Ryan goes to work at 4 we make dinner, eat, and by 6 – 6:30 when it starts to cool down Miley and I sit on the step while Jordy plays at the park in front of the house with a couple little girls who live down the street or if its shady enough I bring Miley to the park too and put her on the swing. Then we come inside, kids get a bath and we watch a movie or something on t.v. and go to sleep until Ryan gets off work and then I wake up again and watch t.v. with him for a bit, then go back to bed.

If you had a day all to yourself (kid free & lottery financed) how would you spend it?

Hmmm…well its been so long since I’ve been totally kid free that I dont even know what I’d do..lol..Definetly Shopping, probably go to a spa, depending on how much money I got from the lottery I would look at houses and if I did have enough to buy one I’d do that and use my shopping trip to also pick out new furniture and decorative things for the house…lol…If not I’d still probably use the shopping trip to redecorate this place..after getting new clothes for all of us and some awsome toys for the kids..lol…

What would you say your parenting style is like?

I’m not sure I really have a style. I kinda just go with the flow. I wouldn’t say I’m “strict” but definetly do not allow Jordan to do half the things the parents around here let their children do. Whatever my style is it must be working because Jordan is polite,well mannered and when it comes to the important rules he listens. He does know how to test my patience and sometimes likes to see how far he can push me but over all he’s a great kid 🙂 & I’m sure Miley will turn out just as great <3 One thing I do not believe in is beating your kids, I do spank Jordan’s bum sometimes if he’s getting really out of hand but most of the time a simple time out and explanation of what he did wrong and why he can’t do it works good for us.

What do you feel you have enough of in life? What do you want more of? Less of?

I feel just by having my two amazing children that I have everything anyone could ask for. I would love for Ryan to spend less time sleeping and more time with the family. I’d also love to have our own house or at least a place in a different neighborhood but as long as I have my children,Ryan, & my family I’m happy 🙂

How “blended” is your family? Are you still with the dad of your kids? Who has whose last name?

I am not with Jordan’s bio-dad. Since he wasnt around for my pregnancy or the first year and a half of Jordan’s life (besides the birth and maybe 10minutes when he was 2 days old) Jordan has MY last name. I am with Ryan (Miley’s dad) and Miley has his last name. Sometimes I feel bad for Jordan because if Ryan and I get married in the future Jordan will be the only one withought his last name..BUT Jordan thinks its cool that he has the same last name as my brother so I dont think he would care..lol..

What are some of your pet peeves?

hmmm… being interupted while I’m talking, parents who don’t put their children first, when parents let their children run around unsupervised, people who are rude to the elderly & also the elderly who think they can be rude to younger people just because they are old, when adults can’t clean up after themselves and leave nasty messes all over the place right after I’ve cleaned (*cough* Ryan *cough* lol), when people walk all over my house with their shoes on (unless its for a good reason like moving something into the house or out of the house), people who dont have common curtesy, people who stand in the middle of the aisle talking while I’m trying to shop..lol..& I could probably go on but I’ll stop here..lol

What are the most unique things about yourself?

I can do a bendy thing with my fingers that freaks most people out..lol…I’m so complicated sometimes I confuse myself…I’m left handed but can only use scissors with my right hand & I can also write with my right hand (if I go slow almost as good as with my left)…and I can pick things up with my feet..lol…

And finally, what’s your writing/blogging style?

This is my first blog so I’m not sure yet..lol…

The Infamous Baby Fever!

July 22nd, 2010 . Posted in by Carla, vent/rant, women | 3 Comments »

I got it! and baaad!

What is this thing that makes you feel like “you’re missing a child in your life”?? This thing that listens to no reasons… There is this thing, a Monster, we call Baby Fever, and let me tell you, it can eat you up from inside if you let it!  This longing to feel that life inside you… This pull to your stomach every time you see a tinny bitty baby, and that weird feeling when you see a pregnant woman and can’t help thinking “Why can’t that be me?”

Is it an Ego thing?  the empowerment of feeling, of knowing, you are creating something so amazing as A NEW LIFE… but that sounds kind of selfish, doesn’t it?  though this Monster IS selfish, because it doesn’t care if it’s right or wrong, or if it fits into your plans or your lifestyle! it comes at you and takes over anyway!

Is it loneliness?  a void to fill?? I honestly don’t think so! It’s so much deeper than that! It’s like falling in love, you can’t help it, but you *know* when you’ve reached that point… It’s not that you want something more is that you know you are missing something! and it’s a battle of wether or not to go after it! and let me tell you, it isn’t a fair battle at all!

Like I said, the Monster listens to no reasons! it wants what it wants, and won’t settle! You can try to reason with it, to fool it, to ignore it, you can even try to blackmail it! and still, most of the times it will overpower you!.  Now, this doesn’t mean it is automatically a lost battle! because thankfully every Monster has music to sooth it, to put it to sleep, so you can go on about your life, and almost forget about the Monster asleep on your basement! But beware, because when it wakes up again, it’s the same battle all over again! and with this Monster, at least for me, you can win the battle(s) but you won’t win the war!

and then, who can you talk to about it? There are always the ones who’ll think you are insane! who will tell you that your life is perfect just as it is, and to wait for X and X first… and then X may or may not come, and X becomes Y and becomes Z, cause there will never be a “perfect time” to have a baby come a give a 180° turn to your “perfect life” (if you’re so lucky to have such thing!)… and then of course there are the ones who “support” you, and get all excited with you, and say that you can do it! (just like they do) but they are not in your shoes, are they?  they don’t know that deep down what you really want is to be talked out of it, because you know in your head that you really DO NEED your X,Y and Z first!

This is a hard Monster to fight off! Specially when it attacks you at a young age! Thankfully you don’t have to fight it off forever, one way or the other the time will come for you to surrender to It, and you know it, and that’s what I keep telling myself… and it will be sooo worth it in the end!! You won! You get your Reward! Enjoy your Prize!!

… until the Monster strikes again!

The Blogging Mommy is Alexis (18)

Her Kiddos are Lucas William (2)

Her location is Boston, Ma.

How old are you now and how old are your munchkins?

I had Lucas 3 months after my 16th birthday, and I’m 18 now. Lucas turns 2 on July 27th!

If you could describe your child in 3 words what would they be?

Crazy, Energetic, Loving

What’s an average day like for you these days?

Every day is different during the summer, it all depends on if and when I have to work, what our plans for the day are, etc. Lucas usually wakes me up by crawling into bed with me around 6:30-7am, we cuddle for a while and watch Einsteins or Mickey, then we get up around 8 and have breakfast, but after that we have no typical day! We try to spend as much time as possible outside, either by the pool or at the park…

If you had a day all to yourself (kid free & lottery financed) how would you spend it?

I’d sleep in (sleeping “late” for me is like 8:30) and then I’d go out for breakfast with a bunch of family and friends. Then I’d take my mom, sisters, and a few of my cousins and friends to a spa for a few hours of pampering and girl talk. After that would be a shopping trip where I actually buy something for myself (although I’d probably end up buying a ton of stuff for Lucas too…) And then I’d meet up with Dave for a nice dinner at one of my favorite restaurants, followed by a concert!

What would you say your parenting style is like?

I think I’m pretty laid back, but I also make sure my child is disciplined when he needs to be. I’m very loving and affectionate, but I also want Lucas to know that I’m in charge. I respect him and expect to be respected in return. I try not to yell and be too overbearing, but sometimes I do come accross that way, Lucas just seems to know how to perfectly push my buttons, but it’s something I’m working on…

What do you feel you have enough of in life? What do you want more of? Less of?

I have an amazing support system behind me. My parents are my twin pillars and without them I would be so lost. And my siblings are my best friends. I would definitely say that I have enough love and laughter in my life. I can’t think of anything I could want more or less of…

How “blended” is your family? Are you still with the dad of your kids? Who has whose last name?

I am not with Lucas’s father, when I told him I was pregnant he made it very clear that he wanted nothing to do with either of us, and except for one random phone call a few months back, I haven’t heard from him or seen him since that day… Lucas has my last name.

What are some of your pet peeves?

I have quite a few of these… 1. Stupid, ignorant people, especially ones who think young mothers are bad mothers because of their age… 2. Bad drivers 3. Not replacing the roll of toilet paper after finishing the last one 4. People who chew with their mouthes open 5. People who talk during movies/TV shows. I hate missing something because people were talking…

What are the most unique things about yourself?

I don’t think I’m like most other 18 year old girls. And I’m not talking just about the fact that I have a 2 year old… I have never been into the things girls my age have liked, I never got into pop music, I always liked classic rock… I never got into the fads and I’m not into fashion. I have always gone to the beat of a different drum I guess. I always tell people that I should have been born in the 60’s… I’m just an old soul and I think I’m way more mature than most other people my age…

And finally, what’s your writing/blogging style?

I’ve never actually written a blog before, so I’m coming into this whole thing blind… I have always enjoyed writing though, so I’m going to give it a shot!

Hello Everyone!

If you could describe your child in 3 words what would they be? – Smart, sweet, & a little clingy lol!

What’s an average day like for you these days?  – Well I work full time, so we get up and get going for the day at 5am, get dressed and have breakfast. I’m out the door at 5:45am and Tori and daddy finish getting ready and leave around 6:15am. I get off work around 5:00, pick up Victoria from daycare and we usually get home around 5:30pm, have dinner, play together and then bath and bed time at 8.

Weekends are much more fun and games though!

 
If you had a day all to yourself (kid free & lottery financed) how would you spend it? – Shopping! lol! then Dinner at a expensive restaurant with my sweetheart and cath a cool theatre play

What would you say your parenting style is like? – pretty relaxed I think. But there are areas I feel really strongly about, specially when it comes to health and development, and I’m pretty strict on those!

What do you feel you have enough of in life? What do you want more of? Less of?  – I have enough problems! lol! Now really, I have a lot of blessings in my life including my wondeful family and the fact that I feel I have achieved all my life goals so far (like career wise), and I’m very lucky to say we don’t lack anything material at least.

I would luuuv more time! I swear I need like 28 hours in one day to get everything done! . and I would like less “ex’s” drama! blah…

How “blended” is your family? Are you still with the dad of your kids? Who has whose last name? – We are a blended family, I don’t have any biological children yet, and Tori’s from Phillip’s first marriage. She’s with us 50% of the time, and in the last year our relationship has changed and grown like you wouldn’t believe! We went from almost completely strangers to great friends! (Thank goodness!) and DF likes that I’m actively involved with Victoria, and that just makes it so much greater! though it wasn’t easy at first to find my place there, trust me!

What are some of your pet peeves? – #1 it’s bad drivers! Jesus! another big one would be rude ppl in general.

What are the most unique things about yourself? – I’m a pretty open minded person, and I’m willing to try almost anything and everything in life! I’m also very loyal, and I’m proud of that!

I’m the most EMOTIONAL woman you’ll ever meet! I’m not sure that’s quite “unique” but I guess it’s a big part of what makes me, well ME! I’m also very romantic when I want to be, but that’s not too often hahaha.

And finally, what’s your writing/blogging style?  – hmmm IDK, this if my first time blogging, so you tell me!
