Mom Rules Were Made to Be Broken

‘They‘ say don’t do this and ‘They‘ say don’t do that. Who are these ‘Theys’ and who voted that we should listen to them? As part of my mommy-hood journey, I have found that I should stop listening to the ‘Theys’ and listen to my inner animalistic need to raise this child how I want […]
