Some days, I get alone time to take photos. And so Some days, I get alone time to take photos. And some days my 2 year old follows me outside wearing (unbeknownst to me) only a jacket and boots and nothing else. 😂😂😂 such is the life of a mom blogger. Swipe to see the full set including a solo shot of Miss Sass herself.
Sometimes, when you are in the deepest days of mot Sometimes, when you are in the deepest days of motherhood, it is hard to feel seen. You are so much that is important. A safe space, a nurturing figure, a life force. You are the boundaries within which your children can thrive. You are the one who absorbs and negotiates the emotions nobody else knows how to handle. You are a deep well of protection. And somehow, within the never-ending chaos of dirty diapers and hungry mouths and messy rooms, you get lost. YOU, the person your partner fell in love with, the person who often gets buried beneath the demands and desires of those precious small hearts, the person you worked hard to be before giving life to others... you become a haze. Sometimes you wonder if you ever existed as anything but “mother.” These are the days, they say. The days to cherish and hold on to and soak in and find joy in. But sometimes, you just want to be you again. Without the stains on your shirt from countless little hands vying for your attention. Without the ache in your back that began when their lives were no bigger than a seed within you. Without the constant reminder that you exist so that they can survive. Some days you just want to be seen. And yes, there is joy in these days. So loud and overwhelming it spills down your cheeks in tears that come from a heart that has expanded far beyond your comprehension. But there is also sadness, and longing, and loneliness, and exhaustion. You want to be seen. You want to be yourself. Alone and in charge of nobody but you. And mama, I see you. I see YOU. You are beautiful. It’ll be ok. I promise. ❤️

If you’ve come this far without realizing I LOVE If you’ve come this far without realizing I LOVE cats, well... here’s the announcement 😂
This year I want to challenge myself to get out an This year I want to challenge myself to get out and get dressed as often as I can. I’ve been sad that I own so many outfits I’ve never worn; so it’s time to change that. This cape is something I got secondhand and have been obsessed with but never worn till now! Isn’t it fantastic?
I think TikTok has revived some of my inspiration I think TikTok has revived some of my inspiration to get dressed daily, and make video content that doesn’t have to take forever. Someone asked for my go to poses so I shot this little video on what I do! Nothing groundbreaking, but hopefully helpful all the same.
Normally I would never have shared that second pho Normally I would never have shared that second photo because all my body insecurities - belly fat and a big butt - are visible. But it’s 2021. Time to let go of toxic body ideals and start working toward body neutrality and accepting whatever shape I have at any given time. I’m always working to be as healthy as I can be, but that looks different in everyone and mental and emotional health are JUST as important if not more so than how my body is shaped. So I’ll never have a flat stomach, I never did. So the booty grew, it happens. I may not LOVE my body now, but I can try to be neutral while I continue to nourish a baby and stay alive through a pandemic. Besides, this @misscandyflossofficial dress fits me better now than it did when I was lighter so there’s that.
2020 brought about a lot of body changes. In 2021 2020 brought about a lot of body changes. In 2021 I’m working to accept where I’m at and not hide so much. So yeah I gained weight but also have been surviving a pandemic. So uhhhhh... here’s a shot I normally never would have shared because I’m insecure about my back view but GOSH DANG IT I just wanna audition to be a Rubens painting ok?!
Forever wanting to live in @misscandyflossofficial Forever wanting to live in @misscandyflossofficial dresses and this @collectifclothing coat. 😍😍😍
