I’m a 90s child; Eric and I are technically the very youngest millennials, born in ’94 and ’95. (Cradle robber, I am! Seven weeks older than my husband ;P) And like many millennials, I’m a child of feminists and the attitude that men and women are created perfectly equal. But during college, I began to reject that idea. And now as a late 20-something, I reject it wholeheartedly.… Read More »
Social Media Feels Burdensome
Lately, I have a strange feeling when I wake up in the wee hours of the morning to feed Aidan (who invariably wakes up for the day between 5:30 and 6am despite my best efforts). For a long time, in my sleep-deprived state, I reached for my phone to keep myself awake whilst nursing.
But now, I’m reluctant to start my day by opening that proverbial can of worms right off the bat.… Read More »
Part 2: On Aging, Motherhood, & Womanhood
I’m remaking my wardrobe and I promise, I promise, NEXT POST we’ll get to the specifics on that.
But first, I want to talk about getting older. (Not that I’m really that old.)
But before I was a mom, I saw mothers as “others.” I never understood the draw of momfluencers or of having children in general. Mom life seemed so boring to me. I wanted to see and read about trendy, self-indulgent topics like minimalism, self-care, or being a #girlboss. Moms didn’t have the same glamor as childless 20-somethings who traveled, socialized, wrote about self-discovery, and always looked put together.… Read More »
A Small Win + My Passion in Life
Ok, ok. Next post will be a wardrobe one. I swear.
Today I want to share a small win of mine lately: I found a near(ish) source for dairy, eggs, and meat! That’s been a tough one to check off my list. We get a summer/early autumn CSA share, and I order bulk goods from Azure Standard or fill my own jars at the local co-op. But finding local raw dairy and pastured meat has been one heck of a journey.
Background info: it’s illegal for farmers to advertise selling raw milk in the state of Minnesota. I have been trying to contact drop site owners via Facebook, join groups that go in on pickup sites, or contact farms listed on realmilk.com for a while now. This is probably my 5th? 6th? attempt to reach out to a source.… Read More »
Melancholy Midsummer
I’m currently working on a post about my summer wardrobe staples as promised–but just felt the need to write about my feelings right now instead of something structured today. That’s the joy of an unmonetized, personal blog… I can share whatever I want 🙂
Well. Maybe part of why I’m writing today is that I actually can’t do that.… Read More »
