My whole entire life has been ups and downs and I realize that it's life and everyone goes through their own ups and downs. Some higher than others, some reach rock bottom and stay longer than others. And you hear "take control of your life and things will get better." Well, easier said than done. It's hard to even reach "control," let alone grab it.

Reunions: Lost In My Past

Moms by Age - 20-something Moms

High School was an awesome time in my life when friends were always around and though I didn't know it, life was simple.  I grew up in a small town and had a close group of friends that did everything together.  During my teenage years, these people were the most important people in my lives.  But now, 12 years later, I wonder who I am to these people.  We have all gone our separate ways now, gone off to college, got married and are now having babies. But the one common thread we have is our past. Knowing all this, why do I feel so sad after I see them? Part of it I know is the sadness of knowing that we aren't that tight group anymore. The comfort of having an entire group of friends to depend on is lost. But a larger part of it is, I'm different and they don't know it.

When I first became pregnant at 20, life suddenly changed for me. I wasn't just a college sophomore, I was a pregnant college sophomore. Along with the big belly came other big changes in my personal life as well. Many of the friends I spent out late night partying with, forgot about me.

Have you ever sat down and asked yourself: How did I get here and did I make the right choice?

I sign into my Facebook page multiple times a day and every time, I am bombarded with status updates from my more than 300 "friends" of what they are doing with their lives. Quite a few of them have recently or are currently living in New York City (from which I hail) and seemingly living the life.

Maintaining Friendships

Moms by Age - 20-something Moms

As a new 20-something Mom, I am completely enjoying every moment with my daughter, who is now 7 months. I've been blessed to be able to stay home with her and witness all of her firsts. It amazes me how quickly she is growing... it seems like she was just born yesterday.

Take a Look At Your Sleep Habits

sleepingI don't know many moms that are my age. Of course that's not a problem, I'm not bothered that most of my friends don't have kids; they love my daughter like their own and embrace my motherhood. I love them for that.

There are certainly difference in our lifestyles among my non-mom friends and me. Come Monday mornings we talk about the parties they went to, the bars they drank at, or the dates they went on. I, in return, tell them about crayons on my wall, the new Elmo video my daughter loves, and the new words she is saying. I'm blessed that my friends genuinely take interest in those things (though I'm not always sure why).

Hi, my name is Tara and I am a 24 year old mom to a beautiful 15 month old little girl. I was born and raised in Southern California and I am currently living in Connecticut. A snow filled winter has been an interesting challenge and I hate shoveling my driveway. I do love shopping for the perfect outfit, shoes, and scrapbooking. My husband has been in the Navy for around 9 years, is a Submariner, and is currently deployed. I talk about life as a military wife on my personal blog This Military Mama.

Men and Pregnancy

As I near the end of my second pregnancy, I realize more than ever that men have absolutely no idea what women go through when we’re pregnant.  Sure, they can be sympathetic and understanding – to an extent.  But, no matter how hard they try, a man simply cannot know what it’s like to have their body taken over completely for forty weeks (or forty-two for some poor gals).

Young Mom Insecurity

Sometimes I wonder if I actually know what I am doing in this whole parenting thing. I mean, it is a little late to back out now, seeing as I am a SAHM to four children all age four and younger. But I think that the fact that I am such a young mom makes me doubt myself and my abilities. I am only twenty three years old. I had my babies young, the first a month before my 19th birthday. I have my mom-in-law, my mom, aunts, etc. all telling me different things and then acting like I am gong to mess something up when I do it a different way.

Planning a First Birthday Party

Your child turning one is perhaps the most monumental occasion of his young childhood.  It signifies several things; your baby becoming a toddler, you have survived the first year of your son or daughter’s eighteen years of dependency, and the beginning of many birthday parties.
