Stay magical & whimsy, friend✨

I’ve been on a new eating schedule and I pretty much hate it.

Apparently it’s all too common for pregnant women to not eat enough. Baby gets everything baby needs, but that often leaves mama depleted.

So I’ve been advised to eat every two hours, and when I get up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom..😵‍💫

The first two days were okay. Now.. well.. it’s hard. Harder than I imagined. And eating has lost some of its joy 😕

Husband doesn’t think I ought to continue at this pace if it upsets me and robs me of the joy of eating..

I’m with him. Still, I guess I ought to continue to log my meals for reference since I know I’ll be asked about them.

Cold, leftover smoked BBQ chicken thanks to Husband on a bed of greens, avocado for fat and potassium, pickled onions for lactofermented goodness, sourdough bread w lots of grass fed butter for vitamin a, fat, more fermented magic and happiness.

@Xover0 Thank you !!! 🥹😭💕

I’ve chosen to avoid #ultrasounds for this and any pregnancy, considering the wealth of information out there on how harmful it is to growing babies—

So we’re going the old school route and using a fetoscope to monitor Baby D’s heart 💗

17 weeks in, it wasn’t likely that my midwives would be able to hear anything..

But they did 🥹 And I’m absolutely elated 😭

Another shot of our latest design! Man, complex silver surfaces sure are tough to photograph. A friend once said, "it's not that your photos are bad, it's just that your pieces look so much better in person." We're not sure what to do about that except take the compliment and keep on taking pictures. But we're always looking for new ways to grow our photography and lighting skills. 📸 ☺️

@noy Thank YOU for sharing !!

@Xover0 Ah ! Trés cool ! Thanks so much for your feedback— I appreciate you !

Hey Siri*, play Mystikal’s “Shake Ya Ass” 🤪

This is your friendly reminder that shaking your butt is literally healing by moving necessary energy in and up from your root and sacral centers 😋

So shake ya ass ! But watch yourself 😉

*JK. I sure as hell don’t keep ‘Hey Siri’ turned on on my phone. Hard pass on the constant surveillance 😇

On the tail of my last post..✨

And honestly, if it IS a trend I’m here for it 😆

True Life: I used to have a BAD drinking habit

I’m talking borderline alcoholism.

I started drinking when I was in high school and despite nearly dying a few times from alcohol poisoning, I couldn’t stop.

Alcohol numbed the feelings of depression and overstimulation all the while sending me spiraling deeper into them once the hangovers set it.

I dated people for two decades that matched or surpassed my own substance use so that I wouldn’t have to face or acknowledge my problem.

Yes, alcohol is engrained in our culture. Drinking just for the sake of drinking is what people do. Post 2020, it’s even more widely available and accessible. It’s now even harder to escape the grip of its temptation.

But it isn’t impossible.

My husband doesn’t drink and I thank God that he doesn’t. He had his share of heavy drinking too, then decided to shift gears and let it go.

He’s one of my biggest inspirations for this very reason.

Before dating my now husband I knew that if he and I would be together, I’d have to give up drinking.

I knew I wanted a family with him. I knew the toll alcohol ALWAYS had on my relationships. I knew, if it came down to choosing between my Husband and alcohol, alcohol could no longer have a place in my life.

For months, I did not feel ready. I felt like I couldn’t do it- like I didn’t even WANT to do it. The hard stuff, sure, kicking that out was easy. A glass of wine here or there though seemed harmless and turning those down felt like a killjoy..

But one day after waking up drenched in the smell of white wine and internal shame of overstepping my own boundaries, I had had enough.

I can’t say I miss drinking. Especially while pregnant. I *do* miss trying the vast creative expressions people put out into the world and, as a former bartender, the ritual of making and sharing a drink with others.

It’s really cool to see NA drinks explode on the market. I’m glad others are reclaiming their health. Found this gem at Sprouts!

@Xover0 I’ve never heard of Loops ! What are your thoughts on it so far ?

We all doubt ourselves at times. Which is fine— it makes for a great story.

Just don’t get stuck there.

Get back in the game.
