You are the main protector of your children. Not the government. Not the school.

There are some things we have zero control over but many things we do.

31 week update!

This weekend I got some bloodwork back that put me into a bit of a spiral.

Low WBC’s, lower HGB

Even being a nurse I was caught so off guard by my super low white cell count that it had me incredibly stressed.

Then I remembered how sick we had been with the flu earlier this month and after talking to a couple healthcare friends I felt much better about those values being abnormal temporarily.

I haven’t talked to my midwife yet- I’m sure we will plan on re checking the labs to make sure I’m trending back in the direction.

Even though this is my third pregnancy it doesn’t make it that easier or less stressful.

Right now im focusing on rest and nourishing my body with enough B12, iron and folate so I can see some green values again!

The main reason I would rather thrift than buy new.

It’s so hard to find 100 % cotton these days or other natural fibers.

Even some of the more expensive brands like Hanna Anderson and Boden I’m seeing polyester blends.

Cat & Jack used to be a nice option for simple basics that I felt were good quality for the price.

Now it’s all trash 🗑️

See you at the thrift ✌️

Nauseating.

Every year, millions of families across America proudly display school photos of their children.
On refrigerators. In picture frames. Sent to grandparents and relatives across the country.

But here's what most parents are never told...
Those school photos are taken by Lifetouch — the largest school photography company in America.
Lifetouch is owned by Shutterfly.

Shutterfly was acquired by Apollo Global Management.

And Apollo Global Management was co-founded by Leon Black — a name that appears in the Epstein files.

That means millions of children's images are uploaded into databases every single year by a corporate structure tied to someone connected to Epstein.

Meanwhile Florida's recent infant formula testing found heavy metals (arsenic, cadmium, lead, mercury) in 16 of 24 tested products.

I’m sorry 😬

You really have to go thrifting with a sense of humor these days.

The whole E files stuff is one of many reasons why I trust absolutely no one with my kids.
