To celebrate Husband and my FIL we had grilled grass-fed ribeye steaks (grilled by Husband), mashed potatoes (made by the girls), sautéed squash and a salad (made by my MIL)

and GF banana bread bread pudding with whipped coconut cream (made by me)

It was a FEAST.

And we all were napping by 5pm 😆😅

As a person who genuinely doesn’t care much for sweets, I hate when I prove to myself that I bake better than I cook 😭

I made a Banana Bread Bread Pudding from scratch for the first time ever for Father’s Day

..and according to the family I out did myself and knocked it way TF outta the park 😩

I never knew how anyone could be afraid of thunderstorms

..until I moved to the South.

WHY DOES THUNDER SOUND LIKE THAT HERE ?

It doesn’t roll in, it EXPLODES and shakes the house 🫨😖

Someone please send a weighted blanket— this it too much for me and my pregnant self 😭

I hear calls for “civility”

I believe that many of us are mistaking docility for civility

Yes, feminine energy is soft, nurturing, & intuitive.

It’s also dark, primal, & chaotic.

Don’t let the current narrative try to convince you that softness is somehow more sacred or more feminine than chaos.

We’re meant to know and embody all aspects of Self.

Don’t shove down your rage, honor it.

Some people will turn away when you share the goodness and joys in your life—

they will hate to see you happy.

Share your life’s goodness and joy anyway.

You deserve to celebrate your life **out loud** even when it makes others uncomfortable.

Me: “…but I’m Baby..🥺👉🏾👈🏾”

I grew up w/ a single-mom mostly preoccupied w/ keeping a roof over our heads, food in our bellies, & schooling to fuel her career growth (no shade)—

So it warms my heart A LOT to hear my in-laws still actively engaged in & supportive of my Husband

They’re not perfect but they’re great role models

Sitting with the heartbreaking realization that my partner may never be what I need to support me through pregnancy.

It’s become painfully clear why women turn to women during this truly challenging time..

My heart’s never felt so heavy.

To the people who don’t cover their mouth when they cough or sneeze:

WHO RAISED YOU ?

WHY ARE YOU LIKE THIS ?

WHY DO YOU FIND THIS ACCEPTABLE ?

Spraying the room with your saliva is fckn foul.

Please get your life together.

Sincerely, literally everyone else.

Husband has been away at a men’s retreat for a bit over a day and it feels like he’s been gone for weeks 😭

I feel grateful to be in union with someone I respect and miss so dearly when he’s away—

I know not everyone feels the same about their person.

I had my first check-in with my midwives yesterday!

I’m over the moon to report that at 17 weeks they were able to hear Baby D’s heartbeat with a fetoscope 🥹💗✨

I’m less overjoyed to report that it’s all too common for women to not be eating enough while pregnant

SO I’m now on an eating schedule 😬

As a yoga teacher turned massage therapist turned hypnotherapist, I’m v familiar with using imagery,

whether guided by self, another, or guiding others—

I’m thrilled to use the same tools during #pregnancy

to communicate with my baby, to heal, and to envision a beautiful labor & delivery 🥹👉🏾👈🏾
