Self Love Saturday: MILF Edition.

I know, TECHNICALLY when I posted this on a Sunday. I have a one month old. Forgive me..

 Ever since I had my daughter, I've been working on my self confidence. I spent most of my pregnancy talking about losing weight and getting skinny after I had Rylee and becoming a "MILF". After some self discovery, I realized that being a MILF is all about confidence. It would be more beneficial to my physical health as well as my mental health if I worked on eating healthy and being healthy rather than on losing weight. I also realized that I needed to work on my self love rather than give into the hatred I've felt about my body for years. Part of me learning to love myself is teaching other women to do so as well. Thats why I decided to start my "Self Love Saturdays". Each week I will have 3-5 women (usually mothers) guest write about what makes them confident, or what makes them feel like a MILF. My goal is that by reading this, other women will be inspired to make the change into self love as well. Enjoy!

I think I am a MILF because I have confidence in myself. Being a MILF is all about how you view yourself and how you carry yourself. I may not be a size two or have the greatest clothes but I am beautiful in my own way. I have a attitude of positivity and don't let what other people think of me or say to me bring me down. What matters is that I know I am the best me I can be. I am in control of my body and mind and although there are things I want to change about myself I refuse to hate myself and get brought down by negative thoughts. That is what makes me a MILF.

When I hear the term milf, I don't take it literally! In my eyes a milf is a strong, confident, mother who holds herself with pride. It makes me feel good to know that even after all the changes my body has gone through, people still find me pretty. Confidence is key!

At 22 I found out I was pregnant. At that time I had just returned from a family vacation and I was really tan and naturally I am a skinny girl so I was feeling really good about my body, sexy almost. When I found out I was pregnant I just remembered that I am creating a human life and whatever happens to my body happens. Pre-pregnancy I was 120lbs, when I delivered at 38 weeks and 2 days I was 180lbs. I had moderate-severe preeclampsia and from week 36-38 I gained 20lbs, so I was induced. Before I even left the hospital I had dropped 30 lbs, and over the next couple weeks I lost another 10. I am now almost 5 months post-partum and am still at 140lbs. I have a great support system that always reminds me I am beautiful so sometimes I believe them. I was not and am still not the girl who could fit in her old size 2 jeans after delivering, so after a bout of crying on my first shopping trip I told myself that I don't need to fit in a size 2 to feel pretty. That day I walked out in a size 8 pair of jeans and I felt good. The main reason I feel good about myself is I have a beautiful little boy whom I brought into this world. And if he doesn't care that I'm a size 2, then I don't need to either. So now I am a size 8 with my happy baby on my hip with a lot of confidence in myself as a whole, not just my body.



I was going to do mine this week, however with it being so late and since I was so busy yesterday, I decided not to. I'm for sure going to do mine next week! Keep a lookout!

Whats In Rylee's Side Of The Bedroom

This is going to be another double post day, maybe even a triple post day, who knows.

Since yesterday I did my "Whats In My Diaper Bag" I decided my next post should be "Whats in Rylee's side of the bedroom". Right now, we are currently living with my parents due to some financial issues which I will eventually go into in a later post. Because of this, my little family has to share one little room. Our side which just consists of our bed and hubby's computer desk and Rylee's which has most of the stuff in our room. Me and hubby even share a side of the closet. Its pretty much Rylee's room, we just sleep in it.

Closest to my bed is the breast pump. I keep it plugged in and ready to go so that I can pump whenever I need to without constantly having to set it up. It's pretty tacky looking but I'm working so hard to get my supply back up.

Next to that and directly across from my bed is her crib. Except for the one picture you see on the wall, her side is pretty bare. I havent been able to find anything I like to decorate her room that's affordable. I will someday, but as for now, its a blank canvas.

The top part of her makeshift dresser holds all of her onesies that I have for her. Top drawer is newborn to three months, the middle is basically any larger onesie right now since we haven't shopped too much further than three months and the bottom part is all of her pajamas and gowns.

The bottom part is where we keep most supplies and misc. items. The top left is all of her towels and wash rags, below that is breast pads and hair stuff, below that is misc items. Top right is bottles and other eating or drinking items, next one down is burp cloths and blankets and below that is all of her bath soaps, lotions and baby powders. Next to all this is her little wicker hamper.

On top of it all are some milk storage bags, a few books for Rylee and my "What To Expect: The First Year"

In her side of the closet we have my dresser, and all of her non onesies, such as dresses, shirts and anything else that's difficult to fold up.

I'm working on a blog post series that I'm hoping to start Saturday evening. It requires multiple submissions from a lot of women. If interested, email ChristinaKing527@yahoo.com a small paragraph describing what makes you a MILF. So basically, what makes you mamas feel sexy and confident. Describe it in any way you feel. It's a paragraph where you describe your favorite physical trait about you, or maybe your favorite personality trait. Maybe, you feel the most confident when you're with your children or when you're at work. This series is all about what makes you love yourself! Any mama can be involved, if you're pregnant, or have 20 kids, it doesn't matter! Just write a paragraph and send it in with a picture and you'll see your post on my blog! Also, send in a link that you would want to be put on there as well, Facebook, Twitter, your blog, Instagram etc.

Id like to say thank you to the women who have already submitted and a thank you in advance to those of you who will submit later on! I'm so excited to hear about what makes you women love yourselves. I will be doing one too in the first post on my first Self Confidence Saturday!
