Joanie 🤱👨👦

He’s such a sweet little guy.

A friend of mine went through a miscarriage at 10 weeks. She used a towel to hold the box of the remains when she brought it to the hospital for testing. She didn’t think she could just use it in her kitchen again and asked me to turn it into a keepsake. This is that keepsake.

Just saw a little boy get spanked because he wasn’t enjoying himself enough at Dino dash. wtf

What comes to your mind when you hear a healthcare provider say, “It doesn’t feel like the scary kind of breast cancer.”?

Keep me in your thoughts and prayers as we navigate some uncertain health challenges this coming week. We’ll know more after Wednesday.

Is it just me or does everyone ask for a cow for their nativity scene?

Love when I’m holding court in the water closet and my villagers bring me gifts.

My hot water heater broke when I attempted to maintain it so now we have no hot water until Thursday at the earliest. 🥰

Constantly playing the game “is it a pistachio or poo?”

I know people say you shouldn’t have to gentle parent your spouse but what if you’re healing your spouse because you learn how to use gentle parenting?

Ngl eating baked potatoes once a week is really saving us a lot of money.

Everyday my sons get taller and I grow closer to death. Life is so unfair.

Finally on my weight loss med again and my symptoms from it are ramping up. The nausea is the worst.

If I ever have to have another c-section I want to go give birth in Japan and be treated like the amazing woman I am.

Words I have purposefully never said to him!!!

Didn’t think I was gonna cry because of my preschooler today. But he told me “mama you ruined everything again.”

Shelling pistachios all day every day for my two bosses. 😒

Only to sigh realizing they’re actually push pins.

Saw my caffeine mints in the cabinet and thought, “yes, exactly what I needed!”

Chronic pain back in my legs from the barometric pressure 😭

I’m so sorry. Thinking of you and remembering your son in my prayers today. CF has taken far too many people too soon.

Don’t open the curtains 🥲

Wow yikes.

My smallest son is going to bed wearing the Bob the tomato costume instead of his sleep sack.

Everyone: you can order it online and it will be here tomorrow.

Me: I don’t have Amazon prime.

Them: how?!

God bless all the moms on Facebook market putting their too small snow gear up for the impending significant weather. The real MVPs

Sent my mom to the thrift store so my kids at least have snow clothes they can play outside in this weekend.

I pay for it now and it’s drastically increased my ability to understand and speak Spanish.

“Mama is that a nipple?”

He’s referring to the mole on my neck.

I’m making an art piece out of my tabs of trikafta to represent my five (but 4 on this because I didn’t have room for 5) years of infertility before we conceived my first born.
