Hello!

My name is Rachel. I am 25, married for four years and I have a son, Brody. When I envisioned parenthood, it was so picture perfect in my head. Reality, however, is a lot more harsh. My son was a bit of a surprise and for a little bit I was afraid of what kind of mom I would be. I was not sure if I could handle it and I really doubted my ability to be good at it. I knew nothing of parenting before I was a parent. I thought it was bad parenting and dangerous to keep your child rear-facing past 1 year. I thought it was crazy and ridiculous for parents to keep away sugary foods and french fries. I had a lot of ideas, but it turns out those parents weren't the crazy ones. I was.... and then, my son was born and a part of me stepped forward that I never imagined was there. I am not a perfect mom. As far as my parenting goes I think I do a pretty awesome job, its the rest of my life that is chaotic. Im changing my world, my family, and my life. I have always dreamt about being That! mom, and so, That! mom I will be. Come along for the ride and watch as I transform my life and get some amazing tips, ideas, inspiration, facts and knowledge along the way.
