Some of you may remember my original post with Kayla, who found out that she was pregnant while traveling-all alone in Germany. (Psst…Kayla’s story is also featured in my book!) Kayla was kind enough to give us a little update on her life and she let me share how things are going on the “other…

Two of the Best Surprises

February 27, 2014 By Chaunie

Guest post from my inbox: Less than a year after graduating from High School and only 7 months after moving out on my own and successfully finding a job that would pay the bills and give me extra cash in my pocket, I found myself pregnant. Totally unexpected, unplanned, and wayyy too premature for all…

Not Every Unplanned Pregnancy Is Love At First Sight

January 7, 2014 By Chaunie

Editor’s Note: I absolutely loved this story, shared to me by a reader named Katelynn, about her daughter, Cadance Olivia, now 7 months old.

I was a junior in college with a major in Biology and pre-med in the fall of 2003, and by all accounts, I had everything going for me. I was making good grades, set to graduate in two years and then head to medical school to complete my dream of becoming a doctor. I had…

The Gray in Ethan’s Eyes

June 13, 2013 By Chaunie

Today’s guest post comes to us from my awesome cousin Mandy of B Sides: The Amateur Mom. Her blog never fails to make me cry or laugh-and sometimes both. Become a big of a stalker as I am here. I was puking on the roof of Motor City Casino. The cheese bread I had eaten…

This is 22

May 24, 2013 By Chaunie

So yesterday I posted about Taylor Swift’s song “22,” in which she portrays the careless, fun, and free life of the average 22-year-old. Yeah, right. Although, after watching the video, I do have to hand it to her, the whole “it’s miserable and magical” is pretty accurate of motherhood, isn’t it? Hmmm…And she does mention not…
