I had grand plans of writing at least once a week once quarantine began, but I haven't. I think it would be good for my soul and all that if I did but for some reason, it's easier to just not. Today is day 41. Since then, I've left my house for some walks (which … Continue reading I Haven’t Written in a While (word vomit)
Quarantine Day 1 Minute by Minute Updates of an Extraordinarily Busy Lady
I am extremely grateful that I live in a state that recognized that schools are a breeding ground for germs and closed us down for the next two weeks. In the meantime, I'll be staying at home, except for walks outside (don't worry - I live in an area where no one takes walks outside … Continue reading Quarantine Day 1 Minute by Minute Updates of an Extraordinarily Busy Lady
In My Feelings, a la Drake
I've always seen self care as a bougie massage, a fancy workout class or a face mask. I never thought there would be the day where self care was a nap and a shower, but I guess this is part of transforming into a mother. Today, with my husband's guidance, I took an hour long … Continue reading In My Feelings, a la Drake
Pregnancy and Eating Disorders
I'm anorexic. I may not look it anymore but anorexia doesn't leave. It's kind of like a leak in your house... at it's peak, it was flooding my house. Now, it's more of a moist stain. It has its ebbs and flows. Thankfully, I have a much healthier relationship with food and my body image … Continue reading Pregnancy and Eating Disorders
Six Things Saturday #1
I used to do Five Things Friday, but I'm lazy so Fridays are pretty damn unproductive. So... here is Six Things Saturday! #1. Chocti! This stuff is GOLDEN! It's made of ghee, dates and cacao and freaking delicious. I spread some on top of a paleo English muffin and it hit the damn spot. #2. … Continue reading Six Things Saturday #1
My Favorite Thing About Pregnancy…
I'm 17 weeks pregnant now, and it's pretty damn obvious. My favorite thing to do at the moment is have people (whom I don't know) ask me when I'm due. When they ask, I tell them I'm not, with a straight face. Seeing their reactions is the absolute best and brings me more amusement than … Continue reading My Favorite Thing About Pregnancy…
2019: A Year in Review
2019 - damn were you a year. Like everyone else on the planet, there were highs and lows and days that just felt fine. 2019 brought me lessons, laughter and my fair share of tears. 2019 brought me travel and adventure with the people I care about. So before 2019 melts into the other years, … Continue reading 2019: A Year in Review
Life, Lately – Winter Break Edition
One of my goals for 2020 is to write more. I think I hesitate to write because I want it to be "pretty" - if I don't have a cute photo to use as the headline, whats the point?! I want to get away from that. I feel better when I write (and ramble). Right … Continue reading Life, Lately – Winter Break Edition
Seasonal Affective Disorder and Pregnancy
Pregnancy is meant to be one of the happiest periods of your life. There's nothing like that feeling of growing a whole new human in your womb. It overpowers the nausea, sleepless nights and body pains that come with the magic. I am happy about this pregnancy. I've been waiting for this for a long … Continue reading Seasonal Affective Disorder and Pregnancy
My First Post… On Pregnancy
Tah-dah! I'm pregnant. Knocked up. Bun is in THE oven (I don't even like bread though - we'll pretend it's a cassava flour challah or something). At the moment, I'm 11 weeks pregnant. I am so close to being out of the first trimester and into the safety of the second. Over the last few … Continue reading My First Post… On Pregnancy
