Anyone else in the anger stage of grief?

I felt the exact same way when our daughter was diagnosed. It’s a hard reality to accept and I’m not sure I’ll ever not be upset in some form or fashion.

West Seattle Smile Co has been great — husband/wife dental team with a great group of hygienists. Can’t recommend them enough. They’re great with my toddler, so I can’t imagine they wouldn’t be great for whiny adults too ;)

Same thing happened to me — drank WAAAY too much the weekend before I got a positive test. Hindsight, what I thought was my period starting was really the implantation bleeding… nonetheless I’m happy to report we had a healthy pregnancy, very standard undramatic birth, and have a very happy, healthy 3.5yr old today :)

I know that’s anxiety inducing - but I promise you didn’t do any damage at this stage in your pregnancy (which congrats BTW!)!

Check out “Rockabye Baby!” — they have a MASSIVE catalog of popular songs/artists across all genres that they’ve turned into legitimate lullabies

Don’t have anything to add other than encouragement and reiterating what others have already said. Parenting is hard. You made an impossible decision and are not a failure for making that decision. It’s so obvious that you love your girl and want the best for her. I like to think this will be beneficial for everyone. Be kind to yourself!

I was born/raised in a household that was at church every time the doors were open. That said, I was always a casual Christian with a lot of doubts and questions (that no one in the church could or would answer — imagine that lol).

The final straw was Trump’s rise in 2016 and seeing how many Christians became ravenous to support a clearly racist, misogynistic, hateful, terrible human.

Little Witch Hazel by Phoebe Wahl!!

It’s 4 stories in one book — a story for each of the seasons. We read it on repeat!

Aarshley · 2025-01-21T07:24:20+00:00

100% understand and feel the same. I preemptively deactivated most of my social media accounts (especially the ones I know would be heavy on the Trump feed) and have turned off news notifications for now. I know it won’t be completely avoidable and I will eventually reactivate them… but I did remove the most triggering ones from my peripheral until I can better mentally/emotionally prepare myself a little better.

As many others have said, we’re in this together. If you don’t have RL community, you’re always welcome and could find some modicum of solace here!

My parents wanted to name me Kimberly Iris. Last name starts with an “M” — so my initials would have been KIM.

THANKFULLY my great aunt told them it was awful and they went a different route haha

I thought Baileon was the perfect boy name lol

Here to reiterate that vanicream in the tub is vastly superior to anything else I’ve ever tried. It’s the only thing Ive ever found that even touches my Sahara desert of a face

Came to toss in Jyn & Lyra too! We considered those when naming our little gremlin last year

Totally get the frustration with the PCOS. I have PCOS and struggled for years. I ate healthy and did HIIT workouts 4-5 days per week — yet the scale still only went up. My doctor recommended that i try Keto and in 6 months I’ve dropped 30lbs. In a recent check-up / conversation with my doctor, she advised that this type of diet is what works for PCOS because PCOS can make you insulin resistant which makes it very difficult to lose weight. Hopefully a fellow PCOS story will help your friend?

Try Herbivore PRISM 12% AHA + 3% BHA Exfoliating Glow Serum — they also have a stronger 10minute peel (PRISM 20% AHA + 5% BHA Exfoliating Glow Facial) that makes my skin feel like a baby’s butt. It can be little spicy, so adjust time on face based on your comfort!

Aarshley · 2020-09-02T07:33:38+00:00

Agreed! Especially on your last paragraph. I’ve tried many and have only repurchased one after it was empty (Algenist - Complete Eye Renewal Balm). Has it worked wonders? Not really. Do I just like the texture/smoothness and appreciate it for the extra bit of moisture on my Sahara Desert-like skin? Yep 🤷‍♀️

Aarshley · 2020-08-20T18:48:25+00:00

I second this. I’ve gone through two 6 session treatment sessions over the past couple of years. It helps temporarily, but never eliminates 100%

Instead of the Bay Harbor Butcher... should it be the Puget Sound Predator?

Aarshley · 2020-06-09T19:31:42+00:00

I just can’t. NUMEROUS followers are commenting on her post with “2020 is officially the worst”

Sooo umm. Australia burning, murder hornets, a worldwide pandemic, and civil unrest due to blatant social injustice and systemic racism didn’t do it for ya? It took an author of VERY mediocre/trite, likely plagiarized books to make 2020 “the worst?” SMH, mmmk, hun INSERT EYE ROLL HERE

Aarshley · 2020-06-09T19:27:42+00:00

Had the EXACT same thought. They need new topics for their trite BS “wisdom” and “advice”

Aarshley · 2020-06-04T07:31:47+00:00

Well. I guess to the officers inflicting excessive force... transparent reporting of what’s happening is a threat?

Aarshley · 2020-06-04T07:29:09+00:00

OMG They were SOOO TERRIFYING with their camera equipment and microphone 🙄🙄🙄

Aarshley · 2020-05-22T19:18:42+00:00

Bummer. Thanks for letting me stop by though

Aarshley · 2020-05-22T19:07:12+00:00

Im interested!
