7 perks of being an Aunt
https://odysseyimages.s3.amazonaws.com/cropped_Hkkk7nY-f.jpeg

About 4 months ago I became an Aunt to the cutest little guy. I know I know, I am being biased but for real.. he is handsome for only being 4 months old. Anyways, these past 4 months have been the most fun months of my life. Here's why...

1. You have automatic best friend- No need to fear, you have a lifetime best friend now. You will no longer be a loser with no friends..

2. You will definitely smile more than 10 times a day- Even on days you don't see them you will still smile cause you will go through your phone and find that video of the one time he peed all over the floor and your sister used the unused diaper as a pee shield.. yep.. that happened 

3. You have someone to spoil- You no longer have to feel guilty for going shopping and spending all your money on yourself, you now get to spend all of your money on your cute niece or nephew and feel a little less guilty..

4. You have a super cuddle buddy-  Mainly cause they are either too little to move or they know that struggling won't do them any good.. besides your cuddles are the best cuddles

5. Good Snapchats- Ya know how you have those friends on Snap who just send you weird and awkward selfies? We all have them.. Well your sister or brother will send you those but they are of your niece or nephew.. and they are the greatest thing in the world and they aren't awkward.. win win if you ask me

6. You don't have to wake up with them in the middle of the night- Once you get done playing with them and making them tired you get to hand them back over to their mom and dad and leave to get a good nights sleep while your brother or sister wakes up every other hour to feed or change your "sweet" little angel. Bless their souls..

7. You get to teach them how to be a good human being- There are a lot of not so good people in the world.. but this is a perfect chance to do our part and help raise them right. Make sure they say please and thank you, excuse me, sorry, and hold doors. Simple tasks that go a long ways.

I hope that every human being has the chance to be an Aunt or Uncle.. it is the best feeling in the world to have someone so precious look up to you.

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.
