💕Double Tap if Things Feel a Little Stressful R

💕Double Tap if Things Feel a Little Stressful Right Now💕

They really do right? This weekend I took a beat, and made a list of the things that I know help me to feel better when I’m overwhelmed or filled with anxiety.

Mine?
- getting outside
- exercise
- my extroverted soul needs time with others (which right now is lacking, but I’m working on some plans :-) )
-baking

💕What helps YOU when you feel high anxiety? I think we can all use some new strategies right now!

💕 Can I get a double tap for 3 generations of v

💕 Can I get a double tap for 3 generations of vaccinated ladies?!?!💕

< Paid for by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services>

Man, does it feel good to say that. As of a couple weeks ago, Lydia is fully vaccinated (and my mom and I both got our boosters). It's been a long haul of concern, stress and anxiety around here, and as a parent, I feel a ton of relief knowing that with any COVID exposures she will be protected.

I wanted to answer a few FAQS about our experience:

How did we decide that we were ready to get Lydia’s vaccines? We spoke to our pediatrician. It REALLY helped us to understand the data and science. I highly suggest doing the same.

Did Lydia have any side effects? None with the first shot, and just a sore arm and bit of fatigue the day after the second.

Where did she get her vaccine shots? We did our local pharmacy and had a great experience. (you can find vaccines near you at vaccines.gov )

Can I answer any questions? Leave them in the comments. Did you already do vaccines with your kids? Leave your experiences in the comments.

Note: this is meant to be informational and supportive, not an argument. Anti-science comments will not be responded to.

🪞Reflections Not Resolutions 🪞

✨Just here to remind you that, you don’t have to make a million extreme resolutions just because it’s almost New Year’s Eve. Instead, let’s reflect and celebrate what we’ve made it through this year.

✨What is ONE thing you are proud of that you did in 2021?

Grateful and sad. Both of those things together a

Grateful and sad.

Both of those things together are what we feel right now. Vacation Robbie tested positive for Covid yesterday, and we are incredibly sad, frustrated and grateful all at once. Grateful that our family is fully vaccinated / boosted and that no one else has tested positive as of now. Grateful that he is feeling only minor symptoms. Grateful that we are able to quarantine within our house. Sad because we miss him and sad because we had to cancel a visit from my Father in Law (with plans to test first and be as safe as possible).

We spoke to an incredible nurse practitioner who helped us to navigate everything with grace, compassion and kindness. To everyone working on the front lines of this, THANK YOU.

Better times are ahead. 10 days is nothing in the grand scheme of all people have lost. Now, anyone want to play animal crossing?!!?

I am 42 years old. What’s my point? I feel like

I am 42 years old.

What’s my point? I feel like this little app tends to be filled with youth and aspirational beauty. In fact, while not on purpose, I rarely talk about my age on here. I often wonder….am I too old to be here? Has my time passed?

But, let’s unpack that for a second. I’m in a different place in my life than some of my peers on here. And that isn’t better or worse, it just means….maybe I have a different perspective. And maybe, just maybe, that’s ok.

So instead of saying, age is just a number…..what if I said…..age is an important number. For me? It’s 42 years of learning. It’s 15 years of teaching. It’s 10 years of marriage. It’s 8 years of being a parent after too many times to count of trying to become one. It’s the gaining of friends and losing of friends. It’s the finding of self and losing self and finding self again. It’s the changing careers and buying our first home after 40.

Where you are, where I am…….is more than ok. It’s, where are meant to me and whatever part of this we are in? I just wanted to remind you, it’s never too late to love yourself along the way.

How many years of living do YOU have?
