*At age 3, I KNEW I wanted kids. My mother ran an at home daycare so I was always surrounded by kids my age and younger and I would help take care of them.

*At age 6, my 1st grade teacher had me write out "what I want to be when I grow up" form. I said I wanted to be a teacher and a mom.

*Teenagerhood, I was more comfortable being in the nursery helping mom with babies than I was going to Sunday School with kids my own age. I volunteered for reading and aid programs not just with littles but also special needs kids.

*College, went into the education program to each Early childhood thru 6th grade kiddos. Found myself gradually pulled towards older kids and not littles but I was too far into my major to change without losing a year of work. Note, still looking for 'the one' to marry and make babies with.

*Graduated and moved in with boyfriend and had a shit ton of animals instead of babies. Started substitute teaching but kept getting into trouble for talking to small children like people instead of babies.

*Ended up married and in a toxic relationship, miscarried, and ended up in a lot if debt and burned out on teaching.

*30s, now happily divorced and single again. I have no kids, I'll be debt free in 5 months and saving to buy a place of my own, travel, and have adventures. And I'm OKAY not having kids or a husband.

Learning to be comfortable by yourself and single is just as important. If I find a husband, that's nice but marrying and trying to start a family just because everyone else you know is, is NOT a reason to get married and make babies.

I still love kids, and if I end up with one (biologically or not) I will love them til my dying breath, but I've learned not to make that a goal like it was when I was a kid. There is so much of this world to love even if I'm by myself doing it.

Don't just reblog this to pet folks know it's okay to not want kids. Reblog to let folks know it's okay to be single, to enjoy being your own person without the NEED of someone else. There are all kinds of love in the world, and if you can't love yourself first, then maybe something's should be talked about more.

stop telling your teenage daughters who say they don’t want kids that they’ll change their mind

May starts today! Wanted to show everyone my happy little Dutch door, quote page, and 2 page calendar. Since the piano on the cover page is so detailed I wanted to keep the calendar underneath very minimal with just a bit of color and black lines reminiscent of sheets of music. Hope you enjoy!

My May 2021 plan with new is up! This months theme was the color green and while I do love a good plant spread I decided to change it up a bit and instead do music. This was particularly inspired by Joanna Gaines's green piano and I'm absolutely in love with how this cover page came out!

I hope you enjoy and have a wonderful day!

Happy Easter y'all! Here's my Easter spread for such a special day! Just like for Valentine's day I had a spare Easter card lying around (plus a done of stickers) so I went a little sticker crazy. But that's alright. Easter is all about hope and new beginnings, might as well fill it full of beautiful flowers and stickers to boot!

Hope y'all have a great holiday!

Happy day 27 of InkyArtober! Where I took the inktober 2020 list, and artober 2020 (by KAYYDOTTS) and merged them together. Today's theme is...music and hunter.

While the temptation to do some eerie hunter was there I decided to go with a monkey in a waistcoat. Gone are the symbols of oppression (get it, monkey with symbols, lol) replaced by the lute of dreams! Or something like that.
