The perks of being a content creator

I always feel so lucky to have the technology that we have to get these opportunities. I told my kids I would be a content creator one day and here we are. I now create content full time for companies and can stay home while doing it.

i had my first child when i was 22 and my husband was 23! now we are 25 and 26 with two kids and we absolutely love being young parents. there’s a lot of good reasons to wait until you’re older to have kids (and i do believe that for most people it’s probably better to wait until you’re older)
