Back to Momming

Our (somewhat) minimalist, dollar savvy baby.

See what I'm up to today!

To the almost mamas: You’ll still shower everyday (if you want to) they’ll just be a little person in the room too. You’ll still gussy up for special occasions (if you want to) it just might take a bit longer. You’ll still be able to cook meals for your family (if you want to) you just might burn a few hard boiled eggs cuz you left them on and didn’t think that could happen and kindof forgot cuz you were nursing then changing then cuddling the baby. 🤷🏽‍♀️ You’ll still get your projects completed (if you want to) they’ll just happen quite a bit slower.

In smaller pockets of time and with different challenges than before, if you want to, you can do all the things that make you, you. #makingafranke

My 5th wedding anniversary flowers are arranged, the table is almost set, but I have no idea what I’m going to cook. #priorities 🥂 Cheers to low key celebrations at home with my wife! (please see my stories for an honest mistake and a real good laugh! 😂) #movicofarmhouse

The love I received because of yesterday’s Instagram story revealed to me two main things: 1) The world is filled with good, good people who are looking out for each other. 2) I am inspired to share even more realness on this platform because of just how many people connected with it. I’m not saying I’m going to record myself every time anxiety causes me to spiral into tears, I’m just saying there’s room on instagram for beautiful paintings + a good laugh + inspirational DIYS + amazing house renovations AND everyday worries + piles of laundry you just can’t seem to do + crippling self doubt + the irrational cascade of ‘what ifs’. The thing about us humans is we are simultaneously so so so many things at once, but we are all guilty of pegging each other and ourselves as just one thing. I can have so much anxiety about garbage+plastic AND I know I am a very supportive friend. If I think I’ve upset someone I can obsess over it for days AND I know I am a really attentive, good mom. Sometimes there’s no amount of coffee or pep talks that can get me unstuck from being overwhelmed, not knowing where to physically start the day AND I am one of the most dependable people I know. WE CAN HAVE HEAVY FEELINGS AND WE CAN ACCOMPLISH SHIT. The spectrum of who we are all at once is as broad as the number of us that there are. So, here’s what I am going to do. I’ll still post my sweet IG worthy pic + caption AND I’m going to add something equally as real, but not as beautiful when I feel the creeping of tornado emotions or am going through the actually storm, because, #letmebefranke, we could all use more transparency in this life. *note* I know myself and what I need to do when I feel heavy, but some mental illness requires more intervention than others and I never want to downplay that. *also note* I’m not doing this for any type of attention or validation but rather for human connection - if that’s what I wanted I’d post a BOMB SELFIE. 💕 #letmebefranke

I need to change the pants I’ve been wearing for 48 hours, drink my cold cup of coffee and finish cutting my bangs (nothing goes uninterrupted any more) but instead I took these last 20 minutes during nap time to make this typography reminder for myself and go on the internet. 🤷🏽‍♀️ Because these ARE the good old days. #makingafranke
