It is going to be okay, and I know it. In just about another week, I will be seeing my daughter’s precious face, and she will be my second child. I have thought about managing motherhood, being a wife, and college student once she arrives.

 You must dream bigger and have stronger faith. I wrote those words down in my journal a few days before making the sound decision that I was going to continue with finishing my associate degree in social science from my local community college. 

I opened about this very topic on my personal Instagram page in my IG stories. If you would like to follow me over there, then here is the link to direct you. I did not want to go on into a rant about my life as a lonely stay-at-home mom and wife who's also pregnant during this time. I just wanted to open up with my followers and viewers who may not have known that creating genuine “real life” connections with other women is something that I crave.

I have been a stay-at-home mom since my first child was born in 2017. No woman in my immediate life gave me any solid advice on how to save money as a stay-at-home mom. In fact, many of the women in my life could not relate to not having a job and being home for a long stretch of time to take care of their child or children.
