Breastfeeding is the sweetest and hardest thing I’ve ever done. The hard part comes first, but now it’s so easy that I’m literally typing this while feeding. For any new mamas who are struggling, it gets easier day by day. And it’s 100% worth it. ❤️

@amandaperera As a new mama, I still appreciate your message here. We can all do our best to savor rest time…duh! Before baby, I had only slow mornings. Now, it’s once or twice a week, but I still cherish those younger years where I healed from the chaos of my childhood. Savor it richly!

I deeply respect all the beautiful moms with busy schedules & I cant wait to be a mom one day but for now Im cherishing the slow mornings I prayed for during years of burnout & soul-deep exhaustion. Nurturing my inner princess who always dreamed of slow days like these is healing

My baby boy, the firstborn of my womb, my only begotten son turned 1. 🥹❤️ This has been the hardest year of my life, but he’s in such a wonderful place now. We’re sleeping again, he’s walking — if not running — everywhere, and he’s brilliant. …and I want 4-12 more.

Accusing someone of being 'privileged' is usually just saying that their parents made good decisions. It's weird how some people think that's a bad thing. Everybody should strive for their children to be privileged.

Will be trying this tomorrow… 😏

@mrsdobbins_ I love this so much!!! 😂

shot my shot with another mom by saying “i assume not yet, since the skies are still so clear 👀” when she asked whether the government was back open yet

@audrawrongspeak Yeah, I wouldn’t be bold enough to do this without inviting someone else over simultaneously.

Do any other stay at home moms/work from home women get weirded out by having repair men at the house? It puts me on edge. Just wondering if this is a remnant from my criminal law days or if this is a universal female feeling of vulnerability.

@MrsCMFrancis So sweet! My husband regularly sleeps on the floor bed with our baby whom we’re transitioning from co-sleeping. …and he also never complains. 🥲🥹

Ok enough gender wars. I wanna hear about how amazing your spouse is! Mine works crazy hard so I can stay home and literally never complains. Our kids adore him and he’s always kind to us, even when he’s stressed and tired. We are all obsessed with him. 🥰

@eviemagazine Why do people think this post is about whether shens pretty/hot enough? 🤦🏻‍♀️ This is about how women feel (and thus dress) at different times of their cycle. Duh.

ovulation week vs period week

@eviemagazine @thegenesisbl0ck Good points, especially the shirking off of maturity — so true! Maidenhood is a lovely stage of life, unless it carries into your 30s (or even sooner, but they’re not ready to bear that). 🤭

I went from being completely brainwashed on childhood vaccines to currently believing the entire industry is demonic That's what happens when you pray to Jesus Christ for discernment and wisdom on a daily basis

@arielthemidwife Happy 29th birthday!!! May your year be very blessed. ☺️

@tallsnail I’ve read that this is just as true for adults. Our brains take a shortcut in listening and fixate on “do X”. For example, if you’re driving and stare at the guardrail, you’ll start to accidentally steer towards it. I haven’t thought to apply this to my baby, but I will now!

before having a toddler, i read some parenting books which stated that telling a toddler "don't do X" is difficult for them to parse/understand - they really just fixate on the "do X" part of the phrase so instead you should tell them what TO do instead of what NOT to do. this is more developmentally appropriate and will result in less undesired behavior "don't grab the cat's ear" -> "open, soft hands with the cat" "don't lick the floor" -> "we can touch the floor with our feet and our hands" etc i thought this seemed weird and counterintuitive and... leaning towards overly permissive? don't they need to learn to take a straight-up "no"? but after many months of on-the-ground toddler parenting, i have seen that this principle is completely true (for my child). it's like saying "don't do X" casts a spell on him that makes him obsessively and repeatedly *do X*. and redirecting my language/instruction to what he CAN do feels like an escape hatch what felt counterintuitive is now very intuitive to me and it's slowly becoming second nature in my interactions with him

First-time mothering here. 👋🏼 This is new for me. I believe that I can grow into being great at it.

@BritHugoboom As a former corporate cube rat turned SAHM, I can attest that this is true. Libs don’t know what to do with a woman passionately raising her own children and making the house a loving home. Not that I care. I remember too well how much my impressive career felt like slow death.

The word “tradwife” is how progressive women cope with the fact that not all women want what they were told to want. It’s the female version of the “alt-right pipeline” myth. A way to strip women with more traditional or conservative values of agency. Instead of asking why so many smart, independent women are rejecting the modern feminist script, they insist these women must be “brainwashed,” “performing,” or “oppressed.” The irony is that feminism claims to be about equality and choice. But the second a woman makes a choice that challenges progressive orthodoxy — to vote differently, live differently, or embrace a more traditional life — that rhetoric collapses. The same “choice-affirming” feminists rush to invent new labels and slurs to discredit, mock, or pathologize her. What’s even more absurd is that none of the women labeled “tradwives” actually fit the historical definition of one. A traditional wife, by any real standard, was a woman whose sole focus was home, husband, and children. The women being labeled today are entrepreneurs, creators, and public figures, many running multi-million-dollar businesses while raising families. Who, by the way, have said they are not “tradwives” despite journalists slapping the label on for clicks. The term has become meaningless, a lazy shorthand for “any woman who isn’t ideologically progressive.” They’re ironically trying to control what women are allowed to believe, how they’re allowed to live, and what kind of femininity is socially acceptable. Women with more or less traditional values don’t need permission from statistically the unhappiest demographic in America with the most mental health issues (leftist white women). What unsettles modern “feminists” is that these women are doing exactly what feminism claimed to fight for: living freely, on their own terms.

Just like all of America’s modern health problems, we are drowning in too much of the bad and starving for enough of what’s good. Nobody guzzles water like us, yet we’re constantly dehydrated. The easiest start to fix it is the lack of minerals in our diet. Trace minerals in water, regeneratively farmed foods, *GOOD* salt, etc.

Before I fall asleep, I can’t stop thinking: how did people survive 60 years ago without a giant Stanley cup of water at all times? Americans treat hydration like a personality trait. Europeans don’t carry emotional support water bottles. My theory: we ate more real food (with water + minerals), the soil was richer, and we just…weren’t dehydrated all the time because of it. Thoughts?

@adtinf Once you quit saying “most men” in negative connotations, you’re ready to graduate from maidenhood. Congratulations! 🎉 You are now open to GOOD men, you’ll find them all around, and you’ll live a lot happier.

What opinion about Men do you have that makes people feel like this?

It’s our first Halloween at our new house & neighborhood. I’m handing out organic fruit gummy bears. As such, I’m not giving out GOBS of candy, which might make me less popular, but the enlightened ones will magnetize to me because of it. Teach kids to value REAL > FAKE.

When I hear someone say the word “privilege”, I assume they have a weak & lazy mind. 🚩🚩🚩 Sometimes I’m proven wrong. Mostly not though.

I thought I was the only one who did this! 🤭
