Before we dive into diets and supplements, you'll want to sit down and observe your child to better understand their routines, triggers, and behaviors. I did this for a week with Ashton. From the moment he woke up to the time he went to bed, I observed him, recorded everything, and then did it again the next day. From that information, I was able to start mapping out a clear plan of action to understand and tackle Ashton's autism....
Is your baby not reaching their milestones on time? Non-verbal? Not making eye contact? Flapping their arms? Won’t interact with other kids or adults? Or do you just feel in your gut that something isn’t right?...
Everyone says that when you hit 30, you experience some sort of life enlightenment that changes you for the better. 3 years ago, at 29 years old, I called bullshit......
Let me start by saying that I am not a beauty influencer just a curly girl who is on a mission to get some bomb ass curls. So if you are a pro at curly hair, these tools may be a given. But for those of you who have struggled to find your best curly self- this one is for you, Boo....
Skin care was never anything I truly invested myself in until I got older. When I hit 30, my skin forced me to find the best tools to fight adult acne, discoloration and fine lines. After two years, I think I finally have it down to a science. So if you have super sensitive skin with a bit of discoloration and a few fine lines sprinkled in here and there, this is the post for you....
I absolutely love building things from scratch. So, from the moment we moved into our new home (1 year ago), I just knew I was going to build my desk in my craft room/office. I found plans for the perfect desk for my area and I was ready to go! The only problem was that I underestimated how much the wood would cost me so I had to go back to the drawing board....
Christmas season is my absolute favorite time of year. Not just because of all of the Christmas cheer and love, but because of the traditions. Trimming the tree is my favorite of all the traditions....
It’s a weird yet powerful feeling when you actually aspire to be like your child. You always think about being a good role model for them to follow, but sometimes your kid can inspire you to be a better version of yourself. That’s how I feel about my son CJ. I know you have questions so let me explain....
I don’t normally like to talk about my health because I genuinely want The Funny Momma to be a place for Mommas to laugh and/or hear stories that may help encourage them throughout different phases of motherhood. But a lot of you all have questions regarding my health and want to know what my surgery is all about. Today’s post is me being 1000% honest and vulnerable with my current state. And my current state is: I am completely terrified. In just under six days I am going to have a partial hysterectomy. I know you have questions so let me explain....
Every birthday, I take off of work to pamper myself. That day normally involves Starbucks, the nail salon, the movies, TJMaxx and a relaxing massage- without fail. This year was no different. Well… maybe a little different. This year, my massage was a little bit…ok A LOTTA bit… different than last year. I know you have questions so let me explain....
Everyone has that one person who they wish they never dated. And if you’re one of those “I don’t regret anything in my life” type of people- bitch, stop lying. You know you wish you didn’t date that loser. Since my birthday is on Thursday, I’d like to share the story of my birthday breakup with the ex-boyfriend who I regret, but also want to thank. On my birthday, nine years ago, I not only put this loser in check, I also proved how much of a bad bitch I really am. I know you have questions so let me explain....
