I'm a 20 something mom to an almost 2yr old, engaged to my Jr. High sweetheart, living in the Chicago area. Family, entrepreneurship, photography, and laughing are my fuel. I'm an observer, a free spirit, a Joan of too many trades. Join me as I find zen in being human.
One of the words on that list was “Wahmart” and it has turned into the next best thing that has graced little man’s mouth since “Dat Natny.” It all started on a random day. A Walmart commercial had come on. You know how all of the Walmart commercials end with “Save money. Live better. Walmart.” and then the logo flashes across the screen? Well, Jayden picked that up and repeated “Wahmart”. Of course we thought that was all sorts of mushy gushy cute.
Fast forward to a few days later. We had muted the TV for a commercial break during American Idol. A Walmart commercial had come on and when the logo flashed, he screamed “Wahmart!” or maybe it was “Momart.” Sometimes he says either or. Fast forward even further to last Sunday. My mother and aunt came over. My aunt was carrying a reusauble Walmart shopping bag. He runs over to her, points to the bag, and exclaims “Wahmart!”
I spent last Monday through Wednesday in NYC with fellow Walmart Moms and company. While there, I was given a reusable Walmart shopping bag which was kind of a big deal since Jayden has this new Walmart obsession. I couldn’t wait to give it to him.
Last night, Jayden decided that Daddy needed his teeth brushed too.

Note: I’m not pregnant, sorry for the confusion! This post is about the pregnancy with our 22 month old.
Seeing those two pink lines instantly appear on the two pregnancy tests I took? Best thing ever. Calling Greg up while he was in class taking a test? Best thing ever. But when Greg and I announced our pregnancy with Jayden, we got some pretty rude comments. The general rule for replying to a pregnancy announcement is saying “Congratulations” or expressing some sort of happiness, no ifs, ands, or buts. These people obviously didn’t get the memo.
Greg: Sheena’s pregnant! Anonymous: So what are you gonna do?
Me: I’m pregnant! Anonymous: You know my sister doesn’t have it easy. (“it” referring to parenthood)
And now for the gem.
Warning: I don’t make a habit of cursing (often) on my blog. It’s offensive and unprofessional, but the convo would not be the same if I took them out. I asterisked the F and S bombs at least, happy?
Me: I’m in love and pregnant. Anonymous: whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat daaaaammm. nooooo sheena.. what the f*ck. watttt. thhhhheeee f*ckkkk..well congradulations
Me: Well damn, THANK YOU!
Anonymous: daaaammmmmm, how do u feel. are u happy,sad?
Me: Errr…happy, why would I not want my own child?
Anonymous: no. of course not goofy. i mean ur in school (college) and everything, don’t want to give u any bad news but life is going to get hard with greg jr. on the way.. awww yall got a little family now
Me: No sh*t, lol. I’m not in school (college) anymore and I’m working at home, so I’ll be a work at home mommy.

It has been quite the challenge finding products for kids with natural hair in its curly, coily, kinky goodness. And only a few of those products that I do find are free of parabens. I'm a nazi when it comes to the products we use on Jayden. I wouldn't even ...
