many thoughts

My Journey Begins with my Parenthood I was a city girl celebrating life. I didn’t look so far ahead, I’m not sure I was that ready to become a parent but there I was in my late twenties with my first born realizing that I was just not the person I used to be. I need to find my own way and to grow myself as a mother alongside my baby. Luckily I came to this understanding very within the first few weeks of giving birth. The understanding that I would do anything to keep my baby healthy is all I cared about.

Since I breastfed all my kids the first six months, I didn’t really need a lot of stuff, like not too much bottles, not too much dummies. I did pump milk on occasion and I did offer it to my baby on occasion but they fed for me I loved. Having that baby. Growing from something that I. Produce. It was magic. For me at least.

Naturally, when my kid started solid foods another tiny change occurred. I remember thinking: this is a whole new world to explore. I’m not up for it right now since she’s only eating all the purees and the baby. I don’t need to deal with it right now, I’m just going to watch how I cook my food and how I contain it. That was the only thing I did for a really long time. I took out all of the disposable’s stuff out of my kitchen and stopped using aluminum foil. Just by doing that, I realized that my husband and I were benefiting from from this as well. And even though we stayed there for a while, I knew it was the beginning of a bigger change was just waiting around the corner to occur.
