Viviana..I get all goofy when speaking in a crowd. Just want to bang my head on the wall! Chocolate! Yum! The majority of my reading is at night too. Mostly because I work all day, than the family wants family time when I get home. :)

message 1112: by Britt (new)

Britt (kalebsmome) Hello...

My name is Brittany but ever since the abomination that is Britney Spears entered the scene I've had everyone call me Bri or Bri Bri.

I have a pitbull that acts like a 79 lb bunny rabbit and would never own another breed of dog. There is no one more loyal.

In order to make time for myself to read I tend to read out loud to my two year old son (edited of course) that way it's two birds with one stone. Bed time story and mommy reading time in one!!

I absolutely 110% believe that everything in life happens for a reason and god has a reason for everything that happens.

I studied nutrition in college but have a love affair with cheeseburgers.

S.J - A doula is a birth attendant or birth support person. They're there for the mother, to encourage her to have the birth she wants and to reassure the father and take a little bit of performance pressure off him. Basically to keep them both calm and enable them to have the best birth they can have.
