About

I'm Czarina and this is my blog experiment.

Essentially, this blog serves a number of purposes, but it was ultimately created as a channel to share a piece of myself with those who choose to indulge.

A huge part of my life is being a mommy and a lot of the decisions I make and act upon are based on dutifully fulfilling that role. You could take this blog as anything you see fit, but between the daily anecdotes, DIY tutorials, and a combination of my shared wisdom and advice, I'm really just trying to put my life and my experiences out there because as something I consider unique, it's not everyday you find a labelled "Teen Mom" who blogs about just that: being a teen mom and the ups and downs of living with that title.

I'm investing my time into this blog because it's a bit of a commitment I set up for myself. Yes, I do carry the title of being a "teen mom" I was 16 when I got pregnant and I was 17 when my son was born. Yes, there is a negative stigma associated with being a teen mom, and I do believe that the reputation surrounding us exists for a reason. If all teen moms were responsible and mature, there wouldn't be such a negative shadow cast over young women who get pregnant. But the thing is, I wanted to show everyone that I wasn't going to be the one to let that title cripple my future, my image, and especially not my ability to love and parent my son.

There's still that bizarre excitement in following young moms and their kids through social media even as they grow up. Now at 22 years old, no longer being stared at in my high school hallways as that 17-year-old with a kid, I'm giving everyone the opportunity to see my life for what it is as and what I decided to make of the "Teen Mom" title I carry.

While everyone else my age was worried about going to parties and who they wanted to date and whether their university applications would be accepted, I was busy changing diapers and for whatever reason, there's a mysticism in that which has never seemed to go away. Because of that, I've committed my time to experiment with this lifestyle blog.

Enjoy!
