15 Things You Can Relate To If You've Ever Been A Nanny
Emily Schroeder

1. You always have a snack of some kind with you.

Are they for the kids or are they for you...

2. There's always a booster seat of some sort in your back seat.

You kinda laugh when your friends get in cause someone is either going to have to sit in in or move it.

3. Finding random legos or fast food meal toys in your purse or car regularly.

Or trash, or action figures, or

4. You've accepted the fact that every move you make is questioned by a small human.

You can't even chew with your mouth closed and you're trying to tell me I should clean my car. HAHA ok

5. Going to the pool is just as fun for you as it is for the kids.

Time to relax AND the kiddo gets out all their energy.

6. Being called a babysitter is the most annoying misconception there is.

"Oh you're over 20 and you babysit a lot" NO NO NO. no.

7. Or when people try to tell you your job isn't REALLY a job.

Ummm excuse you?

8. NOTHING beats when a tiny human calls you beautiful.

UGH my heart.

9. You know way too much about current kids cartoons

No seriously, Paw Patrol? That's a good show.

10. You find yourself relating to an unusual amount of Facebook parent videos.

# relatable

11. You've mastered the art of whipping up mac n cheese.

When you have a hungry mini human and not a lot of time mac n cheese is where it's at.

12. Using the phrase "Sorry I haven't had an adult conversation yet today."

Trust me, having an intelligent conversation is highly underrated.

13. If you hear silence lasting longer than 15 seconds you start to get worried.

..ooohhhhh no

14. You're pretty sure whoever came up with the question "why" should be slapped.

Because at a certain point things just can't be explained!

15. You have awkward moments where you continue to realize one of your best friend's is an 8 year old.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
