How/why we wanted Myah to be a brand rep.

 It all started off with another mom with a little girl named Sabi who is also rocking a little something extra. (If your not already following them go follow them! @sabi.regalo_de_dios )

Sabi's mom Ory sent me a message one day and asked if Myah was a brand rep. I had no idea what a rep was and asked her how and what it was all about. She had told me it is where you apply for positions to help promote small shops and model there products. She sent me a couple small shops that were currently looking for reps and i checked them out. She also told me that i can search for some myself under the hastage brandrepsearch so i checked that out also.  I absolutely wanted to get Myah started in being a rep. I was hesitant at first because i did not know how people would react to me entering her and her having down syndrome. The very first brand rep position i entered Myah in was a small shop called harry_and_dax (follow them on instagram)  to my surprise they actually let her be a brand enthusiast which is almost the same thing. I was so excited but confused on how it worked but i got the hang of it. We have became brand reps to more small shops and absolutely love supporting them all! You can tell that each small shop we support and love put so much love into there creations. 
The reason we wanted to let Myah be a brand rep/ enthusiast is because we want to show the world how beautiful she is even with an extra chromosome. We think her extra chromosome makes her extra cute! We want to change the face of beauty and show people that beauty comes in all forms. I love seeing other kids that also brand rep and are rocking an extra chromosome. Ever child is beautiful in there own special way!

Sweetie pie organics review

Since I had successfully breastfed my first daughter when I got pregnant with our second daughter I knew I wanted to breastfeed without a doubt. Little did I know that this journey would be different than my first.  With our first daughter she was in the nicu and had latching issues, for the first two months of her life I pumped around the clock. I was up every three hours even though the night. With me being dedicated like I was I grew to have a have an over supply which was great but also very hard to control. At two months she finally latched onto the breast but because of my over supply I have a very fast let down which would cause more issues with her feeding. After having her lip and tongue clipped she was able to be fully breastfed on the breast at four months old and she went on to nurse until she was two and a half years old.  My second latched on right away and nursed like a champ. In the beginning I was up pumping as much as I could because I was afraid of getting c...

Our crazy weekends

Angelica and i both work on the weekends so it gets pretty hard. Our day starts off with waking up around 7:30-8:30 am we brush our teeth and Myahs teeth and head to the living room. I turn on our projector and put on either YouTube learning videos or of course her favorite movie Moana. Myah watches tv while i make coffee and breakfast. After breakfast I usually get Myah dressed for the day. We just relax until its time for me to go into work. At 11am i try to see if Myah is interested in nursing and if she is i will nurse her. Around 11:15am i start to  get my lunch packed and get myself dressed to go into work, I work from noon until 8pm.  Before i leave for work i try to put Myah down for her first nap. We don't put Myah in daycare so I'm either with her or Angelica is, we work around each others work schedule to make it happen. Myah will wake up from her nap after about an hour to an hour and a half. Angelica will feed her lunch and clean her up and put in the living r...

Acceptance is key.

We fight for inclusion, acceptance, change, why? Because people are afraid of different, different is beautiful, amazing , wonderful and sometimes challenging. It all starts with YOU, you teaching  your child at a young age that everyone is equally beautiful. To include others that are different in activities your doing, being patient as others that are different learn to do what comes easy to you.  Everyone is different and everyone is differently able and capable of doing things that others can’t but that doesn’t mean to exclude them from the things that you’re doing. For someone who is different they feel included when you take your time to be patient as they learn. Encourage them to join in on the actives your doing. Being kind as they may not know what your doing.   Sometimes i feel like there is a picture of this perfect child that doctors make you imagine. Your child should do this at this age and this at that age and anything slightly off that age is conside...
