I’ve been in a music rut since becoming a mom. These pictures are from a Pinterest board I made before I got pregnant that I called “my vibe”. Trying to find myself again.

Pretty new to scrapbooking but wanted to share some pages I made from a recent trip.

The dinosaur shirt and two shorts are definitely part of a set, but I couldn’t find the other shirt. Overall some great pieces in like new condition and I can never pass up a cute & sturdy basket.

I’ve never followed this girl but her videos always show up on my feed and she has got to be the most irritating person on the internet. So many posts about “dupes” and “must-haves” and it’s literally the ugliest, shittiest polyester crap I’ve ever seen. The skirt she’s holding is just tacky screen printed polyester and it’s hideous. The level of overconsumption she’s promoting is absolutely INSANE. I saw one of her videos when she was pregnant all about her “postpartum cart” and it looked like an aisle in CVS. No one needs all that shit.
I am so tired of these people pushing all this crap onto other people so they can make some money while the manufacturing of all this stuff is literally destroying the planet. Like pls have a spine.

(I just blocked her)

When I was seven I received 8 porcelain clown dolls (kind of like the ones in the picture) from Santa. They were all different but went together like a set. I put them on a shelf in my room but didn’t really play with them (because I thought they were creepy). About a month after Christmas, two more appeared on the shelf that were duplicates of ones I already had. I knew Santa wasn’t real so I asked my parents if they put them there, but they seemed confused and said they didn’t know where the new ones came from but just shrugged it off. I sold all of the clowns at a garage sale a few years later. I’ve asked my parents about it as an adult but they say they have no idea what I’m talking about and that they don’t remember ever giving me clowns for Christmas.

A glitch? Haunted? Or my parents are just really committed to some weird bit?

I followed quenchyouradventure (?) for a short time when she was postpartum with her first baby but I quickly realized she is not for me and unfollowed her. Lately her videos have been popping up as suggested videos on my instagram so much and while I know she just had a really traumatic pregnancy and postpartum is such an emotional and challenging time, she truly just seems unwell. Like girl, not everything you cry about needs to be a video and shared with the internet. I really hope she’s seeing a therapist and/or considering getting on medication if she isn’t. I feel for her but I absolutely can’t follow her. 😵‍💫

I’ve think I’ve had enough of ockeydockey. So many ads. So many “BIG news coming in three days!!! Any guesses??? Stay tuned!” or “Big news! There’s a hint in this video what’s your guess?? 👇🏻” click baity crap. She seems very fake and like she wants to be perceived as perfect all the time. I also hate how she’s always showing her kids faces and them wearing swimsuits. Her family is beautiful and there are way worse influencers out there but I’m done following her lol.

I saw a post a few days ago asking for recommendations for more “relatable influencers”. I unfortunately think all influencers who make it big eventually get to the point where they are no longer relatable and become nothing more than product pushers. 🫠 BUT I follow a few accounts that I actually really enjoy seeing their content and never feel encouraged or pressured to buy things from their links (if they even share links). These women feel genuine, interesting, and cool to me. Just thought I’d share in case they match your vibe. 🤗

Feel free to share other accounts you enjoy!👇🏻

SO grateful for my good eater, but I’m also so confused as to where it all goes. 😂

After 2.5 months of this guy throwing any food on his tray immediately to the floor, he can be trusted with his plate again! 🙌🏻

For anyone also dealing with this - we had to spoon feed/hand him one bite at a time. Slowly we started putting 2-3 pieces of food on his tray for him to feed himself. If he threw it, I’d respond with “Uh oh” or “No thank you” in a calm (almost bored) voice and look away or walk away from him for a few seconds. Once he started to understand that he wasn’t supposed to do that, and was showing that he didn’t want to eat certain foods, I started signing “eat” and then holding out my hand and saying “eat or give to mama”. This is what worked for us, just thought I’d share in case it could help someone else. 😊
