Alzheimer's Awareness Month is in November.  I wrote this paper about 18 months ago. I created this video in October 2019 to go live in November. This is my Nana, Berniece. She had Alzheimer's. In my research on Alzheimer's I came across multiple articles showing how traumatic events could lead to dementia (an umbrella term which Alzheimer's falls under, along with other forms like vascular dementia). Nana had a plethora of things happen to her, so I began talking to my mom, and other family members to figure out Nana's life prior to her diagnosis. This is what I found... ☕Buy Me a Coffee [help support the channel & blog] https://www.buymeacoffee.com/OMGitsWhitney

In 2018, I found out that I was pregnant in a pretty unorthodox way. I broke out into hives and an allergist ordered a pregnancy test to rule out pregnancy for the aggressive treatment plan he was working on for me.

She recently turned ONE and I thought I would share a little bit from her little party -- it consisted of my husband Aaron, myself, and Aaron's parents. The Monkey loves  Cocomelon  and I really wanted to throw her a Cocomelon themed party but there aren't many decorations that are specific to Cocomelon -- the only thing I really saw was a cake topper  (of course as I look online, now there are more decorations -- insert eye roll here). So I decided to go with this: It was still "melon" themed and it was just cute. I was going to try to make her a cake that looked like a watermelon like in the photo -- but I've never made that high tier of a cake before and I wanted it to be perfect. I'm no baker...I'm a box cake queen though. My mother-in-law ...

Let me start this blog entry with a few disclaimers: I am in no way  implying that my situation, as a white woman, calls for more validity than what a person of color may have experienced if this had happened to them. My story doesn't have so much to do with my race as much as it had to do with the fact that I was a young female and I was alone. Not all cops are racist or sexist (or on a power trip in general), but those that are needed to be held accountable when they behave based on those prejudices and disciplined accordingly. ☕Buy Me a Coffee [help support the channel & blog] https://www.buymeacoffee.com/OMGitsWhitney 2010: Before I get started, I would like to point out that I know I accelerated before I saw the 70mph sign, and a speeding ticket was warranted, but the rest of it was not, and that's where my story starts.  I was going through a small town that I have gone through a million times. The speed limit drops from 70mph to 55mph, all the way down...
