Just like that, we’re back to our regularly scheduled programming. It doesn’t take long to get right back into the swing of things back at home, does it? Yesterday was my first full day back at home in 2 weeks. It was a typical Monday. Wake up. Take the 6 year old to school. Come …
I’m awake before the sun here in Florida this morning, and it’s travel home day. The hotel window overlooking my gorgeous view is fogged with humidity, as it is every morning. Still, I can see the sun making it’s way up and over the horizon. By some actual miracle, I was able to pack nearly …
Drinking coffee on a Disney bus, headed to Magic Kingdom. That’s what I’m doing right now. Yesterday was 22,000 steps of BUSY. We hit ALL 4 PARKS (a first for me), and had a really great day. We started the day at Animal Kingdom. I woke up the tiniest bit late, at 7:04, and we …
Last night, simply put, was magical. I landed at 10am after an easy and uneventful flight, and got to our resort, the Coronado Springs, by 11:30ish. I was the first one there, got greeted by Malory, Katelyn and Sarah, and then headed up to my room to find a gift box and a gorgeous view. …
Here we are, we made it. September 6th, 2023. Day 1 of the Funding Love Birth Mom Vacation. A few months ago, I was nominated to a nonprofit group called Funding Love, in hopes of selected for their annual birth mom vacation. Out of the hundreds of nominees and applicants, I, along with 13 other …
Tonight, we will make the 2 hour drive to my hotel room before my 6am flight tomorrow morning. It’s officially day 1 of my trip, and I sure do have a lot of feelings about it all. But first, therapy. Last night went about exactly how I needed it too. I knew my husband needed …
The thing about trauma is that there’s always going to be certain triggers associated with it. Some will be obvious, like…fireworks are a certain kind of loud, and that might be triggering. Being alone in a room with a person you don’t know might be triggering. Being in a room with someone you do know …
Something absolutely crazy happened last night…. IT RAINED. It literally has not rained here in…months. So it was an extremely welcomed change. Especially because it brought with it about 10°f cool weather, so we’ll finally be out of the 100s (for a few days anyway). It was not a bad ending to an already long …
The calm before the storm? And starting the week off right. Read More »
I had therapy last night, despite the odds of school starting and everyone starting to get sick again. Miraculously, my son hasn’t brought anything home yet. Which is actually shocking. It went well and it felt positive and productive, which is something that I desperately needed. Despite my life being…my life, and just genuinely hard …
I will say, not having therapy last night really threw me off. I’m a big fan of routine and consistency and normalcy. But more importantly than that…I’m a big fan of self care. And healing. And taking the time for myself. The 2 hours I get to spend in therapy every Monday is just that. …
