Whether you're a new parent or are getting ready to welcome a baby into your family, you're probably being bombarded with advice on how to raise your child. Play with your kid, but let them develop their own hobbies. Be firm, but don't control them. Be involved, but let them be independent. Talk to them all the time, but don't overstimulate them. Follow their lead, but set clear boundaries. It can seem impossible to take all of the advice offered to you and half of it might not even make sense. Once and for all, the tips below will be all you need to raise a child.

Carrie Underwood just announced her pregnancy with baby number two! Although, you probably already knew this unless you live under a rock. Coming from someone who thinks Carrie Underwood is an absolute queen, I literally almost cried out of excitement for her. Oh, and she also announced her newest album, "Cry Pretty" will be out in September and the tour for Cry Pretty will kick off in 2019!

Engagement announcements, wedding photos, and photos of adorable brand new babies fill my news social media feeds. I scroll past all these photos on a daily basis and I usually "like" the post and then keep on scrolling.

I mean I'm extremely happy for those Facebook friends who are wanting to forever commit to their significant other at such a young age and those who are welcoming little of bundles of joy into their families. Y'all are incredibly lucky to have found love at such a young age and I support your decisions, even though you probably don't care about my opinion because it's not really any of my business, to begin with; but, I start to feel stressed if I spend too much time looking at all the pictures trying to figure out why I can't find a boyfriend that also wants a serious relationship, let alone why I'm not engaged yet.

settle down

My sister has recently had a precious baby girl.. I am discovering what it is like to be an aunt.

Thinking anything she does is the cutest thing that has ever happened.

Showing her off as if she was your own.

You feel your heartbreaking anytime she gets upset.

Starring at her while she sleeps and thinking ten years down the line.

Feel as if no other human has ever been as cute as her.

Can already imagine all of the Lilly Pulitzer we are going to twin in..

The settling thought of her not being your child

To have a constant motivation.

Now my siblings have a new brother.

You will never need another parenting book again.

Be yourself.

Be yourself.

Be yourself.

Be yourself.

Be yourself.
