 Pregnancy is supposed to be a happy time for a woman. She is excited to share the amazing news with the special people in her life, and expects everyone to be just as happy as her.  Unfortunately sometimes people do not react the way we expect or want them to. It’s really sad and heartbreaking that the people that you thought would share this joyous moment have sucked out the happiness.  Sometimes pregnancy comes unexpectedly and the mom may become embarrassed.   She’s afraid to celebrate and embrace becoming a new mom after receiving several negative responses from close family members. Expecting a baby is one of those life events that shows the ugly side of people.   Who doesn’t love babies?



Support from loved ones has a big impact during these special moments. The constant stares and judgement from strangers can be rough, but the rude comments and negative influences from family members are something a mom-to-be doesn’t need or want.


With the many things that go on or could go on during a pregnancy, the last thing she needs is unsupportive family members or friends. There are so many women that deal with the people she loved and she thought would be there for, that refuses involvement in her special occasion.



Regardless of the selfish reason of the people not supporting her, this should be a learning opportunity of who the people she thought she knew and who she loved really are. If they decide to  become a ghost, don’t allow who they showed you to not go unnoticed. Even if your parents don't like the child’s father, your sibling or friend is jealous because they wanted a child, or her grandparent is so judgmental because the child is born out of wedlock, she should love herself and embrace the beauty of being the best mother she can be. It’s just like in some things in life everyone that was once in your circle will not always be there. It will sometimes be family and even the ones that are really close to you will not always be with you when you have big life changes.



As an expecting mother, even if this is her first baby or her ninth, there shouldn’t be any pressure or any shame in bringing in a new life into the world. Most people that have an ill will towards a woman that decides to have a baby, even if it’s by accident or planned, NO ONE should make her regret her choice  to have a baby.

Photos Provided By Nicole   Me: Hi Nicole! How did you start your passion for designing cakes and where are you located? Hi! I am located in Oklahoma City Oklahoma. I started working at a grocery store whenever I was 18 years old. I have always been a car Enthusiast and I had a mini truck that I was fixing up as a hobby. The grocery store manager asked if I wanted to work in the bakery to get more hours. Well, more hours equaled more money for my truck, and I kindly took them up on their offer. From there, I started in the bakery, and I absolutely loved it. I could not get enough of getting to create and putting smiles on customers faces. Me: What made you take a leap into starting your own business? I have always loved business. When I walk into other people's stores, I always look for ways to try to improve their store in my head. So, after working in the bakery for years I just knew that I could do this on my own and I would be a lot happier. I knew that being in my own environm

Featuring Tea Town in Montgomery, AL

Written By: Felecia Causey Tea Town is a family-owned restaurant located in Montgomery, AL.  It’s in a great location right off Vaughn Road, close to the AMC movie theater. The first thing that caught my attention was how clean it was.  I enjoyed how peaceful it seemed.  Oh, my goodness, my readers and followers know how important good customer service is to me.  The entire family that was there was so welcoming. I was impressed when they asked if I had any food allergies.  That was very courteous of them.    I wanted to get a little more background of this family.  Just by talking to Buu and Brandi I knew they were aiming to build relationships with their customers. Watching the interactions between them and each person that came through the door, told me that they would treat their customers like family.  It will definitely set them apart from many other restaurants in my book. Phat Trieu and Cam Thai came from Vietnam along with their kids.   They have been cooking for years and
