Our Journey

So I started to potty train Anastasia and it's been a fun time. She went potty 3 times and now is I think afraid of her toilet. But I'm not sure because it's like she doesn't want to go anymore in her potty which is scared. She now just sits on it when fully dressed and in just diaper which is really cute. And she'll tell me she went potty and then of course you know I would change her diaper but we'll get there.  I think she thinks it's a game which is okay. So it's been fun I'm hoping she will decide to go potty more and Go full force in the potty training so that we don't have to buy diapers and pull-ups anymore. Here is to more potty training. If you have any tips on how to potty train a two-year-old let me know. Because I'm going to admit I can't remember how I potty trained my son.

So since we moved in September of 2018 it's been a bumpy road due to the fact that we left a lot of stuff in the apartment. We left our beds, dressers, table, and couch, entertainment table and computer desk along with some toys of our sons. And now we are starting all over again I finally got a computer desk for me so that I can get off the table. Along with so that the printer can get off my black storage dresser so that can go in the bathroom to hold my make up and water toys. I don't why it was happening but my make up bags were getting mold on them. I guess its from when we take showers and the moisture, which sucks but its okay I found some make up i no longer use or haven't used so i'm selling them. We are slowly getting back there to all that we had. We got to buy a new bed frame because well our bed frame is broken. I guess that's what i get from buying used off of Facebook but i could sleep on a air mattress anymore that wouldn't stay air up. So here...

So I'm sure I have people wondering that when they read my blog and I know this should of been the first blog i did for you all but well I didn't sorry. But this blog is to explain what it is & if you have any questions comment and i'll answer them as best as i can. But here is what clubfoot is. Clubfoot refers to a condition in which a newborn's foot or feet appear to be rotated internally at the ankle. The foot points down and inwards, and the soles of the feet face each other. Also the foot appears twisted and can even look as if it's upside down. Despite its appearance, clubfoot itself doesn't cause any discomfort or pain. It is known as talipes equinovarus (TEV) or congenital talipes equinovarus (CTEV). In 50 percent of cases, both feet are affected. In some children if they don’t have both foot affected they either have the left or right.   Clubfoot is a rare birth defect that fewer than 200,000 US cases per year ha...

So this clubfoot journey has not been a easy journey for us. So Anastasia has been falling a lot lately and it's gotten to the point where it scares me. Her poor knees are torn up so bad from falling along with her ankles. Now its getting to where he arms and a side is cut up. She fell today and I freaked out because she was so close on hitting her chin. I wish I could put her in a bubble but I can't. We go to her PCP on Friday and I'm going to see if there is something we can do. I'm hoping he'll say she can get Occupational therapy. I'm also going to have him check her ears but i don't think its her ears because she has tubes in them. All I know is that I'm ready for this to be all behind us but i'm not sure it will be. I just got to take one day at a time and cross the bridge when its time too. Here's to hoping her pcp will be a help and listen to my worries and that she'll be able to do Occupational therapy along with physical therapy.

So let’s talk make up. I really don't know what to say because well I was never good at doing my make up until I got order and well now I hardly wear any. But well I started with this great company as a representative and I’m really liking the company. If you haven't heard of VIC Cosmetics until now from reading this blog then yaya for me I did my job lol. But anyways the reason I like this company is because THEY DO NOT TEST ON ANIMALS along with PRODUCTS ARE NOT part animal. VIC Cosmetics is cruelty free plus is vegan. Along with also being sulfate and paraben free. How could a product get better then this? Like yes I know some already are out there like L.A. colors. But when one income is kind of not enough I signed up because I want to make money from home. So here is to a new chapter in our life and I hope I succeed with selling this make up. 

I don't know what to title this blog because well it’s going to be me venting and standing up for animals. So wait I know what to name it. So I have a group on Facebook named dog flippers of Arkansas. And for the past three days I was being careful with my gut to make sure I had the facts on two people because I didn't want to call someone who served in the military a dog flipper. But things came to light that well he and his new bride were lying left and right. Which one is not okay! Now well they are calling the people who warned me about them dog flippers. Let me ask this do you know what a dog flipper is?? Well Dog flipping is the act of purchasing dogs from backyard breeders, getting them as free to good home pets from websites or just downright stealing them before selling them to pet-seeking parents for a profit. Today I had a rescue message me telling me that people who flip don't buy the animals they flip. And boy did I feel like they didn't know what...

So I'm going to just jump to the case if you can't keep an animal for life don't get one. I sadly see so many stray cats where i live now and its sad. There is a stray who is female(mama kitty) and right now shes pregnant and she took to my heart okay there is two that took to my heart or three or four. I wish i could save them all. But anyways mama kitty had a litter about almost a year ago and her son(Danny) is sadly hurt. Danny has a dislocated hip. And I feel for him, I wish i had the 900$ for him to have surgery. But im kinda getting off subject here. If you can't keep an animal until the day it dies please don't get one. Animals have a heart to and just like us their hearts can get broken just like yours. Also just like children animals depend on us to give them the care they need. So this post is for all of the strays, find it in your heart to donate to shelters or rescues because without them we would have strays all over the place. Also keep in mind if you ...

So you know I'm on Facebook looking through my news feed and there's this video of McHenry County Sherriff Deputy Jacob Keltner's body being escorted from the hospital to the coroners office. And it made me have a flash back of when i was at the hospital with my grandma because she didn't want to be alone when she passed away. That was the hardest thing to do, but i'm glad i did it. You know why because it bought to light that i wasn't a good granddaughter, yes in my heart i truly know i was but i didn't go to fort smith a lot to see her. Which i should of tried harder. But lets face it when you have children and medical needs for them your life gets Way to stressful and then you add school to the mix, you really don't have a breather. But anyways i'm kind getting off subject. It made me realize that i need to value the big things better. Like spending more time with my family and my children. And that its okay to have a messy house of toys, your ho...
