Feelings.

How do we get to feeling like our old selves or more like the new version of ourselves? Like I’m not depressed or sad but I’ve just not been feeling like myself. I tried to clean up, tried showering, that doesn’t work. I feel like I need to get out the house go hangout with a friend or something. My little Walmart trips and stuff are when I feel the most normal. I’m still finding myself especially with being a first time mom I’m only 3 weeks in but it’s just so weird how I feel. I feel lonely or isolated but I don’t at the same time.

I saw a video from Emily Vondy about how you have to accept that you won't go back to who you were before this baby, you have to find a new normal. And that is weird and hard, but possible.
I keep reminding myself of that. This is my second and I keep expecting to get back to how it was a few weeks ago. But it won't because now there are two. We have to move through the weirdness and find our new rhythm.

Also the first 3 months are called the 4th trimester for a reason. Your brain and your body and still changing so much. Give yourself time.

Same, I feel the same.It's been about two weeks for me now

I feel like with my first it took me 3 months to start to feel like myself / new version of myself and happy again 😏

My partner's sister has just announced she's getting married this October!

Do we go or not?
Long story short, we don't talk and do not get along and haven't for the past 2 years nowm She has invited me, my partner and our children.

She texted out of the blue after barely speaking to us

She didn't go to our Daughter's her god-daughters first Birthday, she didn't even send a card or anything.
She didn't go to our second Daughter's Christening, same again didn't even send a card. - she is coming over this month for our second Daughter's Birthday.

We live in Northern Ireland
She lives in England
She's getting married in Scotland during the week.

It would cost a lot of money for us to go, I would have to pay for half of the cost with my partner.

My partner is blank straight refusing to go on his own, even though I have told him to go and I'm ok with that but he won't.
So the only way for him to be there is if I go with our children and pay half.

I really don't know what to do. I don't want to be a walk-over and go to someone's wedding who doesn't even like me, doesn't talk to and deleted me off social media and bad- mouthed me to her whole family.
But at the same time I want to be the bigger person

Choices for dinner

Is anyone else just fed up with deciding what to make every day for the rest of there lives lol

Is this sad

Hey my LO is 7 months now.
Does anyone still have their badge app On there phone. I do t want to uninstall it lol

Friends from all over

Anyone else feel like finding adult friendships is harder than finding a needle in a haystack? 😅

I’ve cycled through the apps and tried putting myself out there, but I’d love to find that one solid, reliable bestie to actually chat with regularly, vent about life, and build a real friendship with.

I’m a mom of two, currently working toward becoming a counselor, and when I actually get some free time, you’ll usually find me crocheting with a good show on in the background. 🧶

If you’re also looking for a genuine connection and someone to text, let’s skip the small talk. Drop a comment or shoot me a message! 💛

Are you getting any time to yourself?

Have you had chance to have any time to yourself since having your baby yet?

Vinted etiquette

Random one I know but just a general question! Does someone selling on Vinted having only an option of inpost for postage put you off of buying? And if you’re using lots of lockers or sending off a few parcels in a shop, do you let others go infront of you or just think it’s my time I want to be served?
