been awhile

I haven't kept up with my profile here. feels like I bounce all over different social media. but I want to reach people who have similar taste or maybe just need to see they are now alone.

so introducing myself again

My name is Kayla🖤

I'm a mom of 3 and in love and married to the most amazing man who doubles as my best friend.

I'm a homeschool mom

I have a LIST of autoimmune disorders to include POTS, PCOS, reactive hypoglycemia, and hypothyroidism. plus a few more.

I also have ADHD

I'm a work from home mom.

I put my family and God above all else and try to find the positive aspects in everything.

I love makeup, fashion, decor, art, music, books, and so much more.

I'm trying to get my health back in check and fix my relationship with food AND my body.

I have goals and I plan on reaching them.

I've recently discovered audiobooks and it's making me so happy because i struggle to focus on my kindle with ADHD .

LOVE book recs. (dark romance, morally grey men, and fantasy)

I love doing fun activities with our family when we do get the chance.

I'm a type B mom, so my house isn't Pinterest worthy, but I do my best to make my house a home🖤

follow me if you can relate!

... Read moreIn today's world, many mothers like Kayla face a multitude of challenges while juggling parenting and personal interests. It's vital to foster a supportive community where moms can share their journeys and exchange advice on topics ranging from health struggles, especially with autoimmune disorders, to homeschooling techniques. For those intrigued by homeschooling, there are abundant resources available, including online classes, support groups, and educational materials, which cater to various learning styles. With a focus on personalized learning, many parents appreciate the flexibility homeschooling provides, allowing families to explore subjects at their own pace. Moreover, those navigating health issues, such as POTS or ADHD, often find solace in community support groups that understand the intricacies of living with these conditions. Establishing a healthy relationship with food and body image is a shared goal for many, leading to conversations around nutrition, wellness, and self-care practices. Audiobooks have emerged as a solution for readers who struggle to concentrate, offering a hands-free way to enjoy stories. With an increasing number of titles available, they provide an accessible way for busy mothers to unwind while still diving into their favorite genres, such as dark romance and fantasy. Connecting through shared interests can foster strong bonds and empower mothers like Kayla to pursue their passions while embracing their unique life experiences.

Hey everyone, It’s been a whileeeee since I posted on here. I’ve been struggling a lot lately with depression. I haven’t had the motivation to clean, cook, or even shower. Living with manic depression can be so overwhelming. Medication made me feel empty and emotionless, so I stopped taking it.

What it’s been like dating in the COMMUNITY 🏳️‍🌈✨
Dating in the community for me as a #blacklesbian has probably been the most treacherous experience I’ve had since starting dating. 📝Side note: I dated (and using this word very lightly) men previous to my last relationship to my ex-girlfriend. So dating women is a whole new thing for me.
