30-something SAHMama to Eleanor & Hattie. Swiftie, obviously.

@emilykmay I’m constantly assessing my interactions with my children, wondering if I raised my voice too much, if a tantrum was the result of some unmet need, if I was patient and present enough, if I made them feel heard, etc.

[Hannah Swan @hrraines]

@emilykmay more all-consuming and exhausting at times.

@emilykmay Wild by Cheryl Strayed. I enjoyed Colin Jost’s and Molly Shannon’s quite a bit. Also The Glass Castle, of course, but oof.

[Hannah Swan @hrraines]

@emilykmay Oooh I do so love a memoir. Trevor Noah’s is very good. I enjoyed Tina Fey’s, both of Mindy Kaling’s, Amy Schumer’s. Dispatches from Pluto is memoir-ish and a really interesting/fun read. Hunger by Roxane Gay is good but pretty dark.

@emilykmay I just wait til they’re super on sale! Though I feel like Target is having fewer sales these days. H&M is also solid and usually not wildly expensive.

[Hannah Swan @hrraines]

@emilykmay I didn’t work a traditional social work job and instead took a job in higher ed as an advisor. I do think that an MSW is a pretty flexible degree in that way. (Now I’m a SAHM.) If you want to chat more, I’d be happy to! I went to UT Knoxville.

@emilykmay Similar situation here in East Tennessee. 🙃

When the family gathers for the holidays and accidentally makes a Nissan commercial. 😅 @NissanUSA @Nissan

[Hannah Swan @hrraines]

We need to talk about what “like new” means. Some of yall are out here recklessly throwing that term around.

[Hannah Swan @hrraines]

@emilykmay Oh and orange juice of course. Mom thought juice would make us live forever.

[Hannah Swan @hrraines]

@emilykmay We had those three plus apple juice. Coke if it was the weekend and friends were coming over.

[Hannah Swan @hrraines]

@emilykmay Completely agree. Your takes are so nuanced and thoughtful. It’s one of the reasons I follow you. Acknowledging complexity and approaching topics with empathy is not always received well in Twitter land. Keep fighting the good fight. 😊

[Hannah Swan @hrraines]

@emilykmay Meeeee. Though I rarely post. Just occasionally respond to you lol.

@Ding_Gorgeous The simple blue crewnecks were THE must-have merch item from the Eras Tour. People waited in line for hours and showed up days before their show for a chance to snag it. And her team seems to have taken zero notes. I don’t get it.

[Hannah Swan @hrraines]

@emilykmay Lololol. My husband credits his best friend’s “tasteful bullying” as an integral part of his social development.

[Hannah Swan @hrraines]

@emilykmay Yes! I grew up in an 1800s farmhouse and now live in a 1940s home. Extension cords everywhere. 🤣

[Hannah Swan @hrraines]

@emilykmay Ooooh love your kitchen. We’re remodeling currently and I’m debating green cabinets. I’d probably go semi flush mount for this kitchen. Something interesting and cottagey. I’ve been having a lot of luck finding great fixtures on eBay, by the way.

[Hannah Swan @hrraines]

@emilykmay Omg. So relatable.
