Welcome!

Hello and welcome to my blog A Parent's Truths. 

I'm hoping that I will be able to keep up with this particular blog if not for my own sake then for the chance to possibly touch others. I came up with the idea to create this blog after hours and hours, days and days, of searching for a parenting blog that somehow connected to me and where my family is.  Most of the blogs I have found are about parents that are already ahead of life, financially stable,  homeowners, etc. Unfortunately, that is not my family. You see I got pregnant when I was younger than most people and I was living in a two bedroom apartment with three other roommates, I had no degree and was working as a waitress. My then fiancee, now husband,  was working as a barista and also living in an apartment with roommates and no degree. I was on the outs with a good chunk of my family and my main friend group was my coworkers. Needless to say, I was not prepared to have a baby, neither was my husband. Even after our son was born, I still was looking for some way to connect to people that were in my stage of life, people who weren't all cleaned up and put together, making homemade, organic, non-GMO, backyard grown meals and snacks for their kids and families. I was looking for the messy, panicking, is that chicken pox or just a spot, parents. And that's what I aim to do here. I'm not going to sugarcoat my life to make it more appealing to the masses, that's just not who I am.

As I said, I'm hoping to actually get this blog up and running but with a little one running around I'm not sure how often I will actually be able to post. 

Thank you guys for tuning in!
