My husband and I are surprising our 6 year old by taking him to Disney for his b-day tomorrow. We’ve been in the car for 4+ hours and he still thinks we are on our way home from school. He keeps saying “looks like we’re almost home!” 😂

Bless his heart.

Update: we arrived to Disney World, he thinks we took a wrong turn and is very concerned about who is going to feed our cat.

I really need to post more often

Here's a little update! Lily - 8 months old - still breastfed - eats baby food that I make for her - has her two teeth poking through on the bottom - has taken 10 steps - sleeps in her crib for the first half of the night, then eats and gets in bed with me - thinks "no" is the funniest word - likes to scream at me if I don't give her my undivided attention. Me - still in college part time - still working part time - still losing my mind all of the time No, but really. We're doing well ♡

I’ve never related to something so much before

Back in the 1960s, the U.S. started vaccinating kids for measles. As expected, children stopped getting measles.

But something else happened.

Childhood deaths from all infectious diseases plummeted. Even deaths from diseases like pneumonia and diarrhea were cut by half.

“So it’s really been a mystery — why do children stop dying at such high rates from all these different infections following introduction of the measles vaccine,” says Michael Mina, a postdoc in biology at Princeton University and a medical student at Emory University.

Using computer models, they found that the number of measles cases in these countries predicted the number of deaths from other infections two to three years later.

“We found measles predisposes children to all other infectious diseases for up to a few years,” Mina says.

And the virus seems to do it in a sneaky way.

Like many viruses, measles is known to suppress the immune system for a few weeks after an infection. But previous studies in monkeys have suggested that measles takes this suppression to a whole new level: It erases immune protection to other diseases, Mina says.

VACCINATE. YOUR. DAMN. KIDS.

do you know what it means to be a young parent?

it means: • people saying you’re a failure. • people telling your parents they failed in raising you. • people making remarks about your sex life. • people assuming you are or will end up single. • people automatically assuming you’re on government assistance and always will be. • people belittling your opinions. • people questioning your parenting decisions. • people calling you immature or childish when you tell them to mind their own business.

it means that even though I care for my child the same way and tell my child the same exact thing at night as a 30 year old mother ( “I love you”, “you’re absolutely perfect”, “you are the best thing I have ever done in my life”), I’m somehow less of a mother because of my age.

This is sadly accurate. Lets bring young mothers up and help them to do good! Not outcast them and wish them the worst.

Sadly this is how my own memaw treats me.

Dear mom who needs to be reminded that she matters- This is your reminder.

Now, go back to all you are doing - You’re cleaning, working, driving, nose-wiping, cooking, folding clothes, everyday things - and, hold your head high. Motherhood matters. More than having the perfect house, the perfect body, the perfect planning schedule, the perfect children, the perfect anything. You are a game changer. A life changer. You are their mother.

THIS IS WHY YOU MATTER.
