I’m excited to share day 7 of 30 Days of Feminine Inspiration with you soon! I’m dropping in with an unrelated update about Just to Claireify social media.
In the past I’ve “wiped the slate clean” several times by deleting my original Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, and other social media accounts. I have since remade three of them: Instagram, Pinterest and Facebook (although I never remade a blog Facebook page, knowing I’d never remember to update it!).… Read More »
Day 6 already, almost a week into 30 Days of Feminine Inspiration! I’ve so enjoyed writing this series and I hope you’ve enjoyed reading it, too.
I thought since I already delved into the vaguely controversial people on my list by covering The Surrendered Wife/Laura Doyle in yesterday’s post, I’ll just get through them all in one go 😛 Today’s feminine inspiration is “Mrs. Midwest” (her real name is Caitlin Huber), of the YouTube channel and Instagram account by that name.… Read More »
Hello, friends! Sorry to be sparse around here lately–between Hawaii, jet lag and this crazy week (catching up on cleaning and so many appointments), I haven’t found the time or energy to write.
I’ve been having some odd health things lately that actually mirror some of my younger son’s health problems (unexplained circulatory stuff and joint hypermobility) so we’re looking into potential causes for that with a rheumatologist. And I’m trying not Google things because I get all sorts of stuff like connective tissue disorders and cardiovascular diseases… and those don’t sound very fun at all.
Yet I’m torn because for little A’s sake, I want a diagnosis for him. We have seen 14 specialists in 14 months (and counting!) and we still have no answers for his weeklong hospitalization, ER visits, motor delays, BEH, GI and sensory problems. Whenever we are referred to one specialist, it’s like opening a box to find the answer, only to find another box (another specialist referral) which contains another box, and so forth… and whilst I’m not acutely concerned about his health right now, it does feel like we will go on having a spate of minor issues until someone can solve the problem.… Read More »
We just got back from a quite tumultuous trip to Oahu for my one of my best friends’ wedding. The wedding itself was a gorgeous, fun, low-key event, and one of the beaches near our hotel was also lovely. Besides that though, the trip left a lot to be desired…
Anyways, I don’t want to spend this post complaining but suffice it to say just about everything went wrong and when we were able to rebook our horribly rebooked tickets (ugh, Delta) to a direct flight for one night earlier, I was happy!… Read More »
Things got busy this week, and I haven’t had a chance to write for a few days! But I’m back with another bit of feminine inspiration for your weekend.
A few years ago I read the (somewhat controversially named) book French Women Don’t Get Fat by Mireille Guiliano, and I fell in love with the idea of Euro-style eating. Now, that isn’t to say all Europeans eat exactly as described in the book… but having visited Europe several times myself, there’s definitely truth to the idea that eating across the Atlantic is an elevated experience compared to American dining.… Read More »
