stop rejecting the compliments that people give you. receive them. receive them, in full. you’re allowed to accept the fact that people appreciate you. you’re allowed to believe to be treated with genuine kindness. you’re allowed to love yourself.

congratulate yourself more often. you’re the only one who knows how hard you worked to get here.

is anyone else struggling with their passions? i feel like i don’t even know what i like anymore

The perfect winter 🥶

No one tells you that one of the hardest things about parenting is making full meals for your kids 3x a day when you’ve been surviving off of Starbucks and Oreos for 8+years

i hate the word “sure” bitch yes or no?

Being a gentle parent doesn’t mean you never experience negative emotions about parenting. It just means that you’ve learned those emotions are your issue, not your children’s.

I want to be in Mexico dancing drinking some squirt & tequila

older ppl & ppl who don’t have young kids atm have NO CLUE how stressful is rn to have young children during a fucking pandemic

seeing my friend use gentle parenting on her child is so weird but really comforting. she don’t whoop her daughter at all and that little girls communication skills are on point for her being 3

My dream is to have a local SAHM friend I trust and we can trade babysitting - I’ll watch her kids m/w and she’ll watch mine tu/thu. If we want, on Fridays we’ll go to the library or Target. Think about how much sanity and space to pursue our own interests that would provide!

Take more pictures of yourself this year. Your anxiety is lying to you. You’re truly beautiful and all those insecurities are in your head.
