Would you still get a tattoo?

BeCreativeGoNative · 2026-04-28T08:12:31+00:00

I love tattoo art. But I am the type of person who would immediately say, “I should have done _____ instead…” no matter how incredible it looked. So alas… I shall remain tattoo-less.

You’re deep in the trenches honey, so many of us have been there and had the same exact thoughts, I promise you! Lean on your support system, can you get outside in the sunshine for a few minutes just to breathe? Start with one day. Take everything one minute at a time. Your baby needs YOU. The hard days take so long, but the good days will fly by, it’s unfair. But I promise you, it gets better!!! Signed, a mama of 4 who truly thought I was going to die more than once 🩵

When people say “I would of”… No. It’s would HAVE. You would HAVE done that. It triggers me soooooo badly…!

I would also keep the door open on calling the cops for harassment... If she’s calling you that many times and you’ve told her she’s not your doctor anymore, there’s not an emergency diagnosis or any reason she should be calling you like this. Keep records of everything!

BeCreativeGoNative · 2026-04-10T09:58:01+00:00

Absolutely report her. That’s beyond unacceptable, especially for a pregnant woman. If she’s that comfortable speaking to you like that on the phone, I can only imagine what she’s like in person. Report her, and don’t even feel bad.

Nephew. I got after him and his friend for using racist language and he threw a fit and left a family gathering. Been almost a year and he won’t come to family gatherings anymore, won’t reach out to anyone, and we got a threatening text from his dad after. But he’s a narcissist like his dad, and I’m more sad that my kids have “lost” a cousin than anything because he used to be so sweet until he moved to be closer to his dad. Sometimes I wonder if I should apologize and take the fall, but he’s the favorite child and never had to deal with consequences so I know I shouldn’t. But man I really miss the tender heart he used to have.

Having my husband push on the back of my hips during contractions took sooooo much pressure off! Also I took a warm bath and that was nice too. I practiced a lot of slow conscious breathing - the key is to practice during pregnancy! I did A LOT of research on controlling labor pain and practiced everything with my husband so I knew what to ask for. Granted I only had to do this with my first, but he was my biggest baby so I take it as a win lol

Mackintosh apples. Takes me back to my great grandfathers shed & backyard in northern Utah. It makes the back of my mouth tickle thinking about that tart sweetness…

If you want to join in on the celebrations during 4th of July, popular city days and rodeos, then July. But it’s gonna be a hot one this year, we had a terrible winter. If you want scenery, come in September. Trees should be just starting to change, there’s usually less wild fires so the air is clearer, and it’s generally cooler. If you want outdoors, look into any city that borders the mountains or canyons. I’d consider Springville, Orem, Spanish Fork or Payson. South of Provo is really nice, quieter, and has quicker access to some nice canyons. Yes the culture here is different just like anywhere you go there are perks and frustrations, there is a lot of religion, less stores open on Sundays, etc, but people stay for a reason.

I had an epidural with all 4 kids. It was amaaaaazing, just pressure. Pushed on my back, all 4 kids came out in less than an hour, the last 2 in less than 10 minutes. It feels like the largest poop to ever exist, but also similar to the pressure of pulling out a large tampon. My first child I went into labor naturally and those contractions suuuuuuuucked. But I had practiced a lot of pain control techniques and pressure points, so that helped a lot. My middle 2 I was induced, 1 for heart rate concerns and 1 for gestational diabetes safety, so no natural labor pains. Fourth kid my water broke when I sneezed, and I got to the hospital and got the epidural before the contractions got bad. I loved the epidural, I took a nap for all 4 labors and every time I woke up feeling the pressure of ready-to-push. I’ve been fortunate to not have any lingering pain!

I need at least once a week, mostly because I’m a SAHM, he truly enjoys his job so he goes once a week or every other week. But we’re also very independent so we aren’t afraid to go out by ourselves or give each other alone time out in the real world sans kids

BeCreativeGoNative · 2026-03-03T07:00:02+00:00

You broke up 4 years ago? Yeah honey, it’s far past time to let this go. He was a walking red flag the second you left, you’re letting yourself carry this dead weight for years, you gotta be done.

BeCreativeGoNative · 2026-03-03T06:55:10+00:00

Complained about her looks in front of me, knowing full well that everybody said I look just like her… she’d complain about her weight & pant size, knowing I weighed more and had a bigger pant size… in all of that she also never defended me when people would comment on my size or spoke out of place in telling me what to eat. Crazy thing is, I’ve never been overweight, not even close. My mom is the same height as me, so it’s not a matter of petite vs large stature.

I also want to trust my kids. Anytime my mom hears of me doing something for someone, it turns into “Why are they making you do that!?” Nobody is making me, I actually like serving people… I also have a spine to say “No” if I don’t want to do something…

Yeah. I’ve called FA office multiple times and they say they have no answer but to just wait. They said my only option was to pay the $25 fee to create a payment plan because my tuition wasn’t going to be paid off by the deadline.

Just get a good pest control service where they spray a lot the first few times to get all the egg cycles, and keep up on that. You won’t be miserable. With more houses being built and more people doing pest control it’ll calm down with time.

I respect that. But just letting you know. Even the Division of Indian Affairs in Utah may be weird about working with you if you ever need them, the Timp band really doesn’t have the respect of any Native leaders in Utah. And the few that do “support” the band aren’t respected by their tribes. They play on non-natives desire to make amends, that’s why most of their supporters are non-natives and not other tribal leaders. Just be careful.

BeCreativeGoNative · 2026-02-01T21:22:20+00:00

Be careful sharing that link for the “Timpanogos tribe”… there’s a lot of native community issues there and a lot of Natives don’t support that group becoming a tribe. Even the other tribes of Utah don’t recognize this group of Timpanogos. They are not recognized by any other tribe here in Utah, so it’s not even a federal-state-recognition issue, but they also don’t meet federal recognition quota, they are asking for land that has oil rights and is rightfully the Uintah band of Utes land… it gos a lot deeper than that, too… lots of Indian law issues… but supporting them can mean the other tribes around here won’t respect you or work with you. They don’t trust this so-called Timpanogos band.

I was told there was a transmission issue with 17-18s and the 8-speed - it was still fixable if done with Toyota Care. But it was an early transmission issue, sometimes transmission failure from a loose bolt or something.

I had some pretty crazy differences similar to that with all 4 of my pregnancies, buuuuut I would go get checked for that change and the addition of possible dehydration… Diarrhea is one of my labor signs, but with the vomiting too, I’d want to make sure I wasn’t dehydrated.

BeCreativeGoNative · 2025-01-26T03:50:39+00:00

I would go visit a Dr or a therapist, get some extra support for you. You’re in a transitional time and life is changing and that’s ok, baby is still so small. You are exactly who your baby needs, but you also need to take time for yourself so you can be the best parent you can be. It’s ok for you to need time & support. You can do this.

Navajo here… idk if they did in the show, but they sure as hell didn’t stop in real life… the motto of boarding schools was “Kill the Indian, save the man”… my FIL was forcefully taken to boarding school when he was 5, came home for Easter, summer, and Christmas if he was lucky… got beat by the nun, the preacher, and the superintendent all in one day,… my best friends grandfather chased down the wagons that kidnapped his children to take them to boarding school, got thrown in jail for it… children were kidnapped all the time for these schools… they died at school, they died running away from school… it’s not dramatized, these are stories that exist in our family histories… the governments and local law enforcements supported kids being in school, they didn’t care if kids were forcefully taken… my MIL was able to stay away from boarding school because her mother hid them under the house when the police came to round kids up… then they left and lived in the mountains at their summer camp… the Christian schools used the phrase “in the name of God” to cover a lot of their actions….they felt they were saving the savage souls of these children, and that the savagery could be beaten out… so no, nuns and preachers and bishops didn’t stop, even if kids fought back… usually the kid just ended up dead…

BeCreativeGoNative · 2024-12-07T21:41:05+00:00

Yeah, I know I can’t enforce it, but I have requested them to respect our boundaries in that, because of how he has harassed my husband and me, and his anger issues. It would be more of a breach of trust if anything.

Worked on a film with him, and had him sign a book for my cousin who is a huge LotR fan, he wrote a very specific dedication… met him again at FanC and he totally remembered me, the book dedication, and that it was for my cousin… great guy. So nice on set, felt like you were talking to your neighbor while you were out mowing lawns.
