As a #spoonie I’m in pain a lot of the time, or just too tired from #insomnia to play all day with the kids, so I have to come up with ways to keep them entertained. In an ideal world we’d be rich enough to afford a nanny but for now these sensory activities help give me a few minutes to recharge!

We put salt and cat treats in various bowls that wouldn’t break and I gave the kids a couple of spoons, and an ice cream scoop. They loved it and were entertained for over a half hour!

I wish we looked as good as we do in this pic at least half the time. Especially now that we’re potty training. It’s got me feeling all kinds of stressed and I know I’m not alone. If you need a laugh make sure to check out the link in my bio for my new blog post and Mulan Potty Training Parody Song!

Some people come into your life and you just know that no matter what happens and no matter how much time has passed you can call them and pick up right where you left off. I have a friend like that, let’s call her Anne. Anne and I became friends about 15 years ago, when we worked together. We connected on our love of food, art and trying new restaurants. She introduced me to Pho and the rest was history. I can’t even tell you how many hours were spent over noodles. We would force each other to read books that we would then discuss and take day trips to places we haven’t been. She went through a hard break up, changed jobs and I was there. I got married and she stood by me, when I gave birth to my son she held him at the hospital and we named her godmother. She would spend Christmas Eve with us and was part of our family. Then she re-connected with an old friend that ended up becoming her boyfriend and the next thing I know my best friend was leaving to go live in Portland, Oregon. If you don’t know, that’s 3,086 miles from Boston, I googled it. She sold her house, packed her whole life into a huge moving box, got in her car along with her cat and followed her heart. It’s been about 6 years since she left, I miss her terribly. Sometimes I drive by her old house just to be nosy to see if the new owners changed anything. Frequent phone calls turned to once in a while. We used to send packages and this past Christmas I sent a card and haven’t heard back. Our lives got in the way, I had my daugher since she’s been gone, she made a new life for herself which is so amazing. I hope she’s happy, but I miss my friend. She would listen to me without judgement, I did the same. I am making a promise that when Covid is behind us I will visit, Anne do you hear me, are you there Anne, Anne? I will visit. I want you to show me the best coffee shops, best stores to get a graphic tee and can’t forget about Pho. Miss you so much friend.
My pregnancy vibes I’ve learned that pregnancy isn’t always beautiful or a breeze…Stretch marks can appear unexpectedly at week 37 ♀️ and my face needs extra moisturizer + concealer. But it’s definitely worth it! I cannot wait to meet our little boy! I wanted to share my favorite (tested and tried!) beauty products that have saved me during my pregnancy.

Waiting on my tax return like……
About a month before giving birth to my sun, my second child, life through my husband and I a major curve ball. Our new landlord had decided to raise our rent tremendously which led us to take a risk and move out of our apartment. I was comfortable in our space, being a stay at home mom to our daughter. Perhaps I was a little too comfortable. I ended up in the hospital the night we got unpacked in my husbands mother living room. Our living situation was not ideal, I had never imagined my family sleeping on the living room floor of someone else’s home. But we had a plan and we were willing to make the sacrifices we needed to begin making our dreams come true. When I left the hospital with my newborn sun, tragedy struck. It started to feel like the whole world was against us and our plan to succeed. We moved about two more times before our cousin told us he had a full furnished room for us to lay. Not everyone we crossed on this journey was against us and I learned this when my sister opened her home to my family as well. I was on the verge of breaking, I questioned myself as a woman and most importantly I questioned myself as mother. I was devastated. The tables turned when my tribe began to come together full circle. I began seeing the bigger picture and how our tragedy was becoming a spiritual journey. We traveled to the houses of those who loved us. We had food cooked for us, encouraging conversations, and welcoming arms everywhere we went. My doubt about what type of mother I am had me push through my insecurity and I became stronger in motherhood. No matter if we were sleeping on the floor in someone’s living room I managed to make sure my children were bathed, fed, and most importantly loved. I seen my strength in being a mother, especially a new mother of two. I defeated post par-tum, I conquered my fears, and I fell in love with my husband over and over and over again. I find it amazing that our biggest struggles can humble us if we allow it. My purpose, in part of our new journey, is to share with mothers, wives, and sisters on how we can become stronger even in our demise. Through writing and expression I will share my story.
This is honest mothermood.
This is ME, mothering through the wilderness.
