Good morning ☀️
Let’s take a walk.

@iWomansplainer “Analysis paralysis” is what we call it. That feeling frequently visits me.

[jess @PeachScones]

@milagracesmom Hope the sarcasm is clear.
It’s perfectly reasonable to leave your baby for a few hours and get a chance to breathe.

[jess @PeachScones]

@milagracesmom You’re not supposed to leave your baby for longer than their age or it can cause irreparable damage! 1 yr = 1hr. 2 yr = 2hrs.
Was told this with my 1st so I became a lunatic/terrified of crying. Then God gave me twins and HOLY crap I have been humbled.
Have needed SO MUCH HELP.

@simonsarris lol bird names are so fun!
Titmice frequent our area.

[jess @PeachScones]

@milagracesmom Hey thanks, we use those too!

@simonsarris @LucianKnock Gosh I love Alfonse Mucha. Have one of his prints on our wall.

@GraceMothering Your question is a bit of a shock to me, we are not. We know the history of that word.

The situation is terrible but the reason she’s being supported is a rising up against cancel culture. She said a bad word, and for that she was doxxed, her and her child’s life threatened etc

@musings_blonde Koosh ball!

My sister is almost 32. No kids yet. Lives in NYC. Most of her friends aren’t married and don’t have kids either.

I met some of them last weekend and asked if they want kids. The answer? A resounding YES.

So why haven’t they had them yet?

They don’t feel “ready.”

They don’t feel capable yet of being a parent.

I realized I used to feel the same way. I thought I had to “find” myself and accomplish all my dreams before having children.

But after having my first child, I realized I had it backwards.

Children are the best teachers. They’re a mirror into your soul. Every day, they challenge you to grow, evolve, and love more deeply.

Becoming a mother (or father) isn’t something you can prepare for endlessly.

Once you enter the portal of parenthood, you become the person you thought you needed to be first.

It cracks you open. Reveals your strength. Humbles your ego. And grows you in ways no job, trip, or self-help book ever could.

You don’t need to be “ready.” You just need to be willing.

@alexoxo_01 @JessPected I don’t think there’s an issue asking, the issue is never learning how things go over time. It’s important to sit down and discuss who is in charge of what in the home so expectations can be managed.

@IronSage_ Had no idea about citric acid!

Thankful we make our own bread and tortillas.

[jess @PeachScones]

@simonsarris Okay you can’t just say that and then not tell us where you bought them!
We are all in need of magical hedges!

@AMAZlNGNATURE Giant mud puppy!

[jess @PeachScones]

@MrsCMFrancis Such an unhinged take, I wanted to say something too.

[jess @PeachScones]

@BreadBakingWife I breastfed my first to 15 months. Breastfed my twins for almost 3 months and had to prioritize my mental health as well. I also wasn’t producing enough and they couldn’t latch so I had to pump the whole time. They’re 6 months now and my oldest just turned 3, life is wild rn!
