Dear Abigail, It is difficult for me to put into words what it meant to have you, my oldest niece, and your grandmother present when your cousin’s two-year old inadvertently knighted me with the vacuum cleaner attachment. I’m striving to remain humble in the face of the daunting responsibility associated with becoming the first “Earl of Hoovers”.

There’s always that nagging thought in the back of my mind: how can I protect my little ones from the countless challenges the world throws their way? It’s a whirlwind of emotions, with a constant stream of thoughts racing through my head. I’d heard countless stories from other parents about the infamous “Terrible Twos,” but nothing could have prepared me for the reality of this stage. Each day brings new surprises and lessons, making this experience both challenging and incredibly rewarding.

My mom finally left my dad, she moved an hour and a half away, it killed me. Me and my siblings went to live with our grandmother, we didn't see my mom for 9 months, my dad drank all the time.

Toddlerhood is hard. Especially when said toddler learns something new. Being a young mom adds to that.

I began to write this years ago I didn't update any spelling or grammar to get the originally of it, I added on every now and again, I just finished it off. I wanted to make a book of my lifetime but I don't think anything interesting will come by for me to write.

I pour myself a bowl of cereal. Lucky charms, my favorite. As I set the bowl on the table, my toddler runs out of her room "Mama" she cries, reaching her little hands as high as she can. I sigh and lift her up. "What is it baby? Do you want a snack." She signs for more, which she seems to think is how to ask for a snack. Reluctantly, I grab a box of goldfish from the cupboard and pour some into the bowl, popping one into my mouth. I set her down and hand it to her. "Don't spill this okay? Mama is going to go sit and eat her cereal." She runs into her room and shuts the door. I sit down, only to realize I forgot to grab a spoon. As I stand up, I hear the pitter patter of little feet coming towards me.
