I Have A Secret To Tell You...
At 32 years old I'm ready to have a baby. If it were up to me I'd be a mom already but, unfortunately, God has other plans. I have some fertility issues and I'm finally doing something about it...

Damn, I'm OLD! BSC Just Turned 30!
Click HERE to grab the first few books of the series for your little girl. I started reading books from The Babysitters Club series when I was on my way into middle school. At that time I had no idea that they first hit the scene when I was only two years old. They seemed so relevant to my life at the time I would have never guessed. Reading these books had me convinced that I wanted to be a babysitter myself. As I started babysitting for my nieces and nephews I changed my mind, but the books were still good. Lol.
This year the very well loved series turns 30 years old. I for one am happy that the BSC books continue to be popular among young girls that love to read all over the world. Check out this interview that the author, Ann M. Martin did with the TODAY show in honor of her huge accomplishment.

15 Things Every Big Girl Is Tired Of Hearing
Ugh. Why can't I just be big, beautiful and fabulous!? I get so sick of the fat shaming and discrimination that goes on in America. The questions and comments phat girls get can be rude, confusing and down right stupid. My personal one is, "You're not THAT big." *rolls eyes*
Well, the folks over at Buzzfeed felt the pain of big girls all over and compiled this list of things that we are tired of hearing:
1. “Have you ever thought about Nutrisystem…or some other diet?”
“No I have not….STFU!” 2. “Are you wearing that?” “Why, yes. I AM! And I look fabulous, honey!” 3. “You’re going to be huge when you’re pregnant!” “Like….WHY would you even say that out loud? 4. “Do you even exercise?” 
“Yes. I do. And even if I didn’t, why is that any of your business?” 5. “You are too young to be so overweight.” “Bitch, you said WHAT? Now, leave me in peace while I eat this whole ice cream sundae by myself.” 6. “If you cut your hair too short, it will make your face look bigger.” “I ain’t worried ‘bout nothin’.”But, seriously….DO YOU REALLY THINK I CARE? 7. “Do you have to shop at the “fat girl” stores?” Do you shop at the “ignorant, socially awkward girl” store? 8. “I don’t believe that you ever eat healthy.” So what if I don’t? It’s my body. WHY DO YOU CARE? 9. “Black is a good color on you. It’s slimming.” “Who are you…the Fat Girl Fashion Police?” 10. “You were much skinnier in high school.” “Yeah…I was. AND?” 11. “Are you pregnant?” “Don’t you think I would tell you that?”
And if I don’t know you, how is this an OK question to ask? 12. “Is it harder for you to date because of your size?” “Is it harder for you to date because of your stupidity?” 13. “Skinny girls can get away with that, but you can’t.” “And why is that exactly?” 14. “Aren’t you scared your health may be at risk?” “Whoa, there! Let me see that Ph.D., Doctor Know It All!”
My body…my business. End of discussion. 15. “Are you happy with the way you look?”
“Yeah..I am…what’s it to ya?!?” In conclusion… Love yourself and shake off the haters. You are the only “you.” Don’t ever let anyone tell you any different.
