After the Fall

This past week I had a whole lot of emotions.

I had made the choice to stop taking my medicine for reasons not understood by medical professionals and other around me. I was doing so great! And feeling really good about that decision.

Then when I mentioned it all to my therapist, she kind of freaked out-and rightly so-my decision was not completely based on scientific/medical evidences. But I was also diagnosed with another mental illness and I emotionally took a blow. I was doubting my progress, my spirituality, any happy spells. I felt like I would never be free, that my life would always be an existence to view through depression glasses. And it broke my heart.

I was in the midst of these feelings when I received a book from my incredibly insiteful sister:

AFTER THE FALL.

I cannot tell you all that is in there, but know that if you are dealing with depression, PTSD, or mental illness in general, you should read this book. It is short and sweet, and very powerful. Even my dear Sheldy teared up, knowing how bogged down I was feeling.

Nursing

We’ve had some lazy days around here this week, first, thanks to the time change (which seemed to wipe me out, not my kids), and now thanks to self-quarantining. So I have spent lots of time in pajamas and thought I would share with you my most favorite nursing nightgown!

Things I love about it:

The fabric is amazing! Soft, stretchy, thick enough, and washes well. It is super comfy.

The cut makes nursing easy and discreet.

It is LONG. I had such a hard time finding a long nursing gown, one that I can sit crosslegged in appropriately. Also has short sleeves. I never felt like it was overly hot, but it keeps me warm when it needs to. Not sure how.

Indoor Trampoline

Just over a year ago, we bought an indoor trampoline for our kids. BEST $80 SPENT. They love this thing! It fit just great in our 800 sq foot apartment, and our homes since then. When they are young enough, you can zip it up and it is a safe place. It is just as fun for my 4 year old now as it was for my 1 year old then. And it burns lots of their energy!

I feel like I talk about energy a lot. Am I the only one who’s children have seemingly endless amounts of energy?? I love it! But sometimes I can’t keep up, actually most times. This is why I am always on the look out for things that help them get it all out while I can sit by and enjoy it still.

This is great to entertain when you need to get stuff done, and it is nice to give children exercise should you be homebound for some reason, or if you are depressed and not in the mood to go out! And if they are jumping on the couch you can say: “Now where do we jump kids? Not on the couch, on the tramp!”

Also! It makes some pretty great huts.

Y’all should definitely check this one out! Find the link in my shop!
