I swear I never planned to go so into detail about the crap I had to deal with, but I feel in order for anyone to understand my vision they need to understand where I’m coming from.

                My name is Keaidy Bennett. I’m a 24 year old mom to a very eccentric two year old girl! I remember at one point feeling like I didn't know who I was, but it’s amazing what such a young child has taught me about life. When she is happy she’ll dance, when she feels like it, she will sing and it doesn't matter who is listening or around. If she wants to put on a show she’ll make you pay attention to her and when she is finished she will clap for herself and won’t quit until everyone who watched her show is applauding also. If you glance her way you are almost always going to get a smile from her, and she is confident enough to start a conversation with anyone with a friendly face. She doesn't get flustered by the kids on the playground who don’t care to play with her because she will go find someone else to play with; she is also secure in herself that if no one wanted to play with her she could entertain herself and enjoy it. She made me realize that I was taking life way to seriously and I allowed what others thought about me to bother me a lot more than I should care.

So now that you know where I've been and who I WAS – allow me to re-introduce myself!

              

  I had a kid young. I made poor relationship choices, but I regret NOTHING because I can proudly say every mistake has made me wiser. I’m no longer that hurt girl suffering with PPD (postpartum depression), but I’m now a woman learning how to see everything around me more positively. Others have tried, but I have yet to be broken and I don’t intend to let it happen now. In regards to other people’s opinion of me, Lil’ Kim’s lyrics still reign supreme “If you ain't paying my bills then you ain't saying nothin!”

I’m tough, ambitious, and I know exactly what I want. If that makes me a b-tch SO WHAT!

                

It wasn't easy to finally embrace who I am instead of trying to please everyone around me, but I’m so HAPPY that I’m finally here. The main reason I started this blog is because if anyone would have told me I would be feeling this powerful after such a dramatic change in my life I would have never believed them, but here I am! I want other young girls to realize that just because your child’s father, sperm donor, social site daddy, or whatever you want to call them, is trying to bring you down it doesn't mean you have to let them keep you down

I want to help empower women again since it sometimes seems like because of where we are everything is against our success. I want to remind women that we are stronger than we ever know. For goodness sake, we gave life and then pushed a small human out!

This isn’t MY blog, this is OUR blog. You’ll find everything from inexpensive beauty tips, time saving strategies, giveaways/contests, and an outlet for advice and help from other woman going through the same struggles. I’ll also share lessons I learned the hard way, and advice I wish I would have listened to instead of being so stubborn.

We do all that we do without recognition and sometimes without any help.

If you haven’t heard it today just know:

You ARE beautiful, tough, amazing, and no one can hold you back!
