In a lot of ways, getting pregnant saved me. Some people would probably disagree with that statement, saying that I'm too young, too poor, too irresponsible, and maybe even too naive. I don't care about what those people have to say about it because They're. Not. Me. The decisions that I make are not based on what they think.

After racking my brain the other day for a craft I could do with a 21-month-old and a 3-year-old I finally came up with an idea!  Edible necklaces and bracelets!  Not only was this craft safe, easy, and fun it was also inexpensive!  More Here...
