Lack of village

I’m expecting my second baby in late June early July. I’m desperately trying to figure out child care for my two year old while I deliver. My parents live two and a half hours away and frankly are less than dependable. They have let us down several times. I have one close friend who could potentially watch my daughter at-least until my parents arrive. I’m nervous to ask her because she’s very early in her own pregnancy and is of course absolutely exhausted. I’m just so tired of never having a village or any family to depend on.

If she is a true friend she will want to make sure you are ok and support u the best way she can. Sometimes people do not volunteer because they do not know there is a need. If she is truly a decent friend she may even be excited to “practice” before her lil comes if she doesnt have kids yet.

Yay! A group made for me!

I thought I was the only one without a bestie! It’s weird when you leave anything that’s a formal setting like school or work and move house or country far from everything and everyone you knew growing up.

Starting to look for new friendships feels so weird to do at this stage of life, but sometimes you just want to find a girlie who gets it!

So here goes nothing! I’ve just Turned 30, married with 1 little girl and I need friends!
I like to go to tea, music, horses, cars, interior design, fashion and a good amount of reality tv! I am a full time SAHM I use to work in HR and studied Graphic Design at university (so a jack of all trades in my likes but a master of none) you could put me in any room and I’ll be comfortable and can talk to anyone about anything, yet I’m absolutely an introvert so that’s like my problem 😅

So here’s to trying to put myself out there!

(Oh and clearly no grammar or true punctuation was used in the making of this… so happy reading🤪)

Looking for a bestie 💕

Hey mamas 🤍

I’m putting myself out there a little—because making real, genuine mom friends as an adult is way harder than it should be 😅

I’m a stay-at-home mom of three, running on coffee, chaos, and love. My days are full (and loud lol), but I’d really love someone to chat with, vent to, laugh with, and just get it. You know… a bestie who understands the mom life without needing a full explanation every time.
I am a fur mama - 4 dogs & 2 cats.
I’m from Nova Scotia, Canada 🇨🇦

I love photography, cozy nights in, and those rare quiet moments (if you know, you know 😂). I’m all about real conversations—no pressure to be “perfect,” just being ourselves.
I’m a binge watcher. Love reality tv!
Horror movie fanatic.
I love reading 📖😊

If you’re also looking for a friend to text during nap time, while the kids are in school, share life updates with, or even meet up eventually, I’m your girl 💕

Let’s be besties? 🫶

Birth control

I had my 6 week pp check yesterday and I got cleared and accepted birth control but I’m very nervous about taking them. The last time I had birth control I had the implant and had really bad depression and anxiety. And I’m also worried that I might not want another child. I just think I’m mostly worried about my mental health on birth control.
