Hey Everyone!
First, I wanted to explain the title of my Blog channel.
Once Upon a Teen Mom means just that, I started having children
when I was a teenager. To be exact I became pregnant with my
Oldest son Logan when I was 16 years old! and for the record YES
I know that is awfully young. I am writing this blog post because I
want to reach out to other teen mom's who I know are struggling. I
want to say..... your life is not over by any means. Your life I am
sure is more difficult than that of other teens who do not have
children or are not pregnant. That is just inevitable!
Being a teen mom is a challenge! yes! but all I have to say is
PLEASE please please DO NOT give up on your dreams. If you
had a dream of becoming a lawyer or a doctor or a model
(whatever it is). You do not need to give up just because you have
a child. Success in life= motivation. Motivation can easily
disappear when you are sleep deprived and broke! Regardless,
baby steps and you can do anything you put your mind to!
For myself I ended up leaving high-school in grade 10 because I
was so very pregnant. I lost a lot of friends and I of course was sad.
That didn't stop me though. Because well I was smart and ended up
getting pregnant again!?!?! (Crazzzy I know!) when Logan was
only 5 months old! shame on me I know. After that.... I realized
holy doodle I need to get my life back on track because I NEED to
support these adorable little beings and the only way to do that was
get back to school finish my grade 12 and get my butt to
college........somehow........ It took me 4 YEARS to finish my grade
12, which was to be expected when ALL of my time was devoted
to these little boys at home. To boot I ended up getting pregnant
AGAIN when I was 21!! After Matthew was born (my youngest) I
almost gave up I figured I was being a horrible mom trying to get
and education because eventually I never got to see them. The truth
is my children are more greatful to see mom working her butt off to
someday in the future provide them a life and not be living off of
the government or working for minimum wage, and you know what
THEY are worth all the hard work and so am I. I could go on
FOREVER and give every little detail of my ADVENTURE (which
it was). The moral of the story is.... DO NOT GIVE UP! When you
are a teen mom statistics show are HUGE % of us end up as
"failures" meaning not finishing school and becoming a productive
citizen. Use that statistic as a challenge!!! You can beat the stigma.
YES people will look down on you YES people will give you are
hard time but nothing feels better than going to bed at night
knowing you ARE being productive. NOTHING feels better than
confidence! Your kid(s) will thank you, you will thank you. YOU
ARE WORTH IT. It is hard to come to terms with your lost your
teenage years and partying may not be an option when you have
mounds of homework to accomplish and dishes to wash! Trust me I
KNOW!! I am now 25 years old I have 3 sons 8,7, and 4 years old.
I currently am finishing up my last year of Nursing college :0D
(WHOOP). If I can do it SO CAN YOU!!!~~ If you have any questions feel free to ask :o)
Love ya's!

Hey Everyone!
So I thought I would tell you about my failed park attempt. :0)
First, the weather forcast said High of 18 naturally I want to get out there and enjoy the warm weather we
have been having the last week. (treat for March). So two out of my 3 sons and my sister were off, off to
the park. This park is a drive for us it is not in walking distance from my house. This trip was doomed as
soon as I put my car in park. For those of you who do not know my middle son Brayden has Autism.
Today was NOT his day. So we get out of the car I head for the bench :p hoping the kids would head for
the climber and NOT this swings, I am so not motivated to push them on the swing right now. haha. Of
course they head for the swings, as polite as possible I try and convince them to play on the climber. (FAIL)
Ya that was not going to fly, it was either swing or nothing. Matthew my youngest looked like he needed
therapy after I said no to the swings so I got up and my sister and I pushed them for a while. That was fine
and dandy but than the unthinkable happened?!? My son Brayden became obsessivly attached to a giant
rock. This Giant rock little did I know was going to be the cause of a meltdown! Brayden became obsessed
with this rock (for whatever reason). Other parents were looking at him like (weirdo). He was hugging this
rock kissing this rock (gross) and talking to this rock like he was in absolute love. Matthew my youngest
wanted the rock and so they fought, and fought, and fought again over who can sit on this rock! I could not
for the life of my convince these two little boys to come and actually play! A rock boys... it's a rock!
Needless to say we left the boys looked like they were ready to choke slam each other. It was surpisingly
easy to get them home.. I pulled out the Boy's want to eat lunch?! My sons NEVER turn down food.~~~ A
rock ruined our trip...really? haha just gotta laugh I suppose. :o)
Love ya's

Hey Everyone!
March break is OVER :(
Monday I need to be back in class 8:30 "eager" to learn.... With all of this amazing weather I just want to be outside :o)
Okay so getting up this morning was difficult. My children were nice and quiet downstairs, I atempted to call them up to my room. I selfishly wanted them to watch cartoons in my room so I could lay in bed for 1 or2 shows.. haha!
I have some tidying up to do today (:s) by some I mean dishes, laundry, cleaning bedroms, mop etc.
However, all I want to do I get the kids dressed, go get my other son Logan from my mothers house and drive to Rotary Park, and stay there, alllllll dayyyyyy :O)
Love ya's!
