Have you ever sat with heartbreak many moons over due? Felt like your heart was aching beyond comprehension while reliving past experiences, remembering time spent and with who. Imagining where you’d be today if you had said “b” instead of “a”, gone ‘left’ instead of ‘right’. Retracing the moments that led up to what changed…
Cutting bangs was just the pit stop, an experiment on my way to this destination.
Like many breastfeeding Moms, throughout my breastfeeding journey I pumped to store milk should there ever be a situation I'm not able to immediately feed the baby.

Now with my eldest son, I was completely confused and dumbfounded when he was a baby and had drastic mood swings. Mainly because he was such calm and quiet baby so when he'd be crying more than from being hungry I was really concerned.

I ended up finding baby forum chats about other parents going through similar events. The conclusion and answer to their baby's new behaviors was that they were in a leap!
A bus to train to bus trip that would normally take 40 minutes became an almost 2 hour trip to travel home. After waiting in a cold bus station for 20 minutes while the blizzard got more intense outside, the bus finally showed up! We were literally shaking in our boots!
I can't believe it was 3 years ago this September that I made my first YouTube hair tutorial. I also can't believe the videos been viewed 3,282 times as well.
