i’m so glad you’re here!
Come along with me on This journey of discovery
I wasn’t so sure I wanted to be a mom when I was a teenager. All of the babysitting hours made me feel like I wanted to live a full life not worrying about taking care of someone. Getting pregnant with my oldest changed that aspect for me completely. At first, I was scared I wasn’t going to be a good mom and the thought of the pain of childbirth wreaked havoc in my brain.

Through all of the trials and tribulations I have experienced in my life, nothing could prepare me for this journey with my youngest, Maverick. Buckle Up for this ride with more twists and turns than the largest rollercoaster.
love, Kim
