My nurse practitioner called it “situational anxiety” – the moments where I go from my classic daily anxiety to the next level. It happened when I moved away to college, when I got married, and during periods of schooling and work. It’s happening now as we are in the process of buying a house. My day-to-day […]
AppleCheeks AIO Review
The launch of the AppleCheeks All in One Cloth diaper this May brought me a ton of joy? Why? Because truthfully, I could care less about prints and care more about innovation. When a brand makes bold moves to either redesign their product or create an entirely new product I get giddy with excitment. To […]
The End of Cloth Diapering
I should write a little good bye to cloth diapering. It has been such a part of my life for the past 4 years and changed everything. Cloth diapering brought me some of the closest and best internet friends a girl could hope for and it taught me a lot about myself, my dreams for […]
6 Weeks Post Op: Into Shoes We Go
I’m now 7 weeks post-operation for my bunionette surgery on my left foot. Last week I had a visit with my orthosurgeon as well as x-rays. I also finally asked my doctor about my surgery and the procedure. He said the cut the bone, repositioned it and held it in place with a plate and […]
One Month Post Op: Just because I’m good, doesn’t mean I’m good.
It’s been almost a month since my bunionette surgery and life still sucks. Sure, I can walk around in my air cast on my heals, but I’m not sure if you’ve ever done that full time because it really sucks and it’s still hard on my body. It’s been a month since my surgery, and […]
Things I Needed for Bunion Surgery Recovery
Going into this surgery I felt very overwhelmed and underwhelmed. My surgeon told me some details during our first appointment but then I proceeded to forget most of it by the time I got home. I called the office and received vague recovery deadlines and supply suggestions with the expectation of knowing more on surgery […]
5 Things Nobody Told Me About Post Surgery (Bunionette)
5 days post surgery, and I’m alive. My brain finally feels like it’s working enough to do things other than play candy crush on my phone and watch netflix. Background: last Wednesday, I had bunionette surgery to correct my left foot. This is the first of two surgeries. 1. Surgery Recovery is WEIRD – and […]
Bunion Surgery Day is Soon!
Whenever I mention I’m having surgery this week people get all sad and apologetic, and I know it sucks, but I am so unbelievably excited (and terrified) for my surgery this week. I did have a surgery date for April, but it was postponed two weeks prior. First, I’m tired of being in constant never ending pain. I […]
Tomorrow Will Be Okay.
How do women do this? How do they sleep and function? Or do working moms always have a bit of anxiety in their stomach and a racing heart beat? In October, I left for a weekend conference and my husband arranged a few days off to cover the parental responsibilities. Tomorrow, I’m going to a […]
Can we stop fighting about cloth diaper wash routines?
The fight about cloth diaper wash routines is destructive, mean, and just down right not-nice. It needs to stop. And yes, I’m talking about all you keyboard warriors who decide they have something to say about someones routine even if it’s working because it doesn’t align with your recommended guide book. Over the past few months, […]
