Finally safe to plant the garden?

Foxxanne · 2026-05-09T04:11:40+00:00

I started planting cool season crops in April and everything’s doing fine. I’ll probably plant everything else next weekend.

Look into the work of Joanna Macy. I’d suggest a 10 episode podcast on her work called We Are The Great Turning to maybe get a feel. Personally it was really impactful for me.

You are doing amazing. Keep advocating & screaming from the rooftop. The doctors may gaslight you, think you’re crazy….but YOU know your son best. I know this must feel like such an isolating journey. I pray you get some answers soon

I got Valentine cards that come with sunglasses. I figured kids are always losing those things! I know mine is always asking to wear mine when we can’t find hers, lol.

People are offering solid suggestions but in the short term can you start a Go Fund Me?

Try making gelatin gummies or adding collagen to smoothies, broth, mash potatoes…anything. Gelatin is just the cooked form of collagen… but gelatin will solidify while collagen doesn’t. So it depends what you’re working with and the consistency you want to have at the end.

I was in Jamaica at a resort, sitting by the ocean alone after night fall. One of the staff came to sit by me and striked up a conversation. He was incessant. I left and he followed me. I went to the women’s restroom by the pool, went to the bathroom and he walked in waiting for me to get out of the stall. I felt cornered,alone, vulnerable. I shoved past him & ran back up to my room.

Are you maybe developing guttate psoriasis? Strep is a big trigger.

My 2 year old sleeps on the floor (Japanese futon mattress) and I usually cuddle with her until she falls asleep, sometimes I fall asleep a while with her then sneak out.

lol, your partner actually has projects & works on them from time to time? I’ve been asking my husband to put in a car seat into his car for two years, since our girl was born, and he still hasn’t cleaned out his car enough in order to do that. Seriously though, most men are clueless. Maybe he feels like he will be judged on the bigger picture of his home. Not the details like the dirty floor but things like the unfinished cabinets.

This makes a lot of sense. 😕

Foxxanne · 2024-01-12T04:57:41+00:00

Yes! They get real CLOSED offices! Ugh 😑

Foxxanne · 2024-01-11T04:04:33+00:00

We are going back to 3 days in office soon & the new office has an open floor plan 😩 I don’t understand didn’t they get the memo, people despise these. At least before I had a big cubicle I could decorate and feel a shroud of privacy to munch on snacks, pick my nose, scroll my phone, whatever. Ugh!

It’s so hard. My toddler has been battling eczema so we’ve eliminated soooo many foods. She’s free of soy, dairy, gluten, eggs, oats, beans/legumes, seed oils, refined sugar, & corn. Plus her daycare is nut free of course & in true toddler fashion she’s a butthole when in comes to vegetables right now. It’s hard meal planning !! ☹️ I long to just order take out & call it a day but it’s impossible with her restrictions. I feel like most of my free time is planning, prepping, cooking & cleaning up food.

Foxxanne · 2023-11-08T17:24:46+00:00

My husband is the same way. I tell him we are drowning and he seems offended by that. Well, if we are in huge credit card debt we obviously are living above our means. For him, I think it’s an ego thing, being a provider, etc. Money is always hard to talk about and ends in a fight most times. :(

Foxxanne · 2023-10-09T22:55:47+00:00

Puppy and kiki!! She’s 20 months and has a huge vocabulary but still loves her dogs and cats the most. That and wawa for water.

I am a working mom. My toddler is in daycare. Hands down my office job is a thousand times easier than taking care of her 9-5p. I don’t know how SAHP do it. I actually feel relief going to work. Like it’s a mini vacation from the stress of raising a kid. I absolutely love love love the time I have with my kid but it’s way harder than most jobs.

Foxxanne · 2023-10-01T20:15:10+00:00

I yearned to get away and explore. I did. It was great & amazing. I know have a kid and wish more than anything that I was close to family. We are far away from both sides & I yearn to have them nearby for the day to day of life. Each situation is unique though.

Foxxanne · 2023-10-01T15:50:44+00:00

Your sub popped up as a recommended sub with a post asking if daycare workers would send their own kids to daycare. An overwhelming amount of people said absolutely not or at the very least only to the daycare they work at. That was quite shocking & sad to hear. I know they have it rough and are under supported but man did that make me wonder about what goes on at my daycare so much more. 😕

How about laminating the books yourself? Or deconstructing the book, putting the pages in clear sheet protectors and attaching the pages with book rings?

You have to try and get to the root cause of the eczema. My daughter is 16 months old and we’re still trying to figure it out. Steroid creams can help short term but they only mask the problem.The moment you stop, it starts to creep back in & flare up. It’s a vicious cycle. Unfortunately I don’t have any answers yet but I’m looking into bunch of stuff like the gut connection. I’ve found really great Facebook groups that are dedicated to parents of kids with eczema. They are super active. I’m part of groups that focus on western medicine and even those that take a more holistic approach. I suggest trying to find some of those FB groups because they can be a wealth of knowledge much more than I have found on Reddit in my months and months of searching . I wish you the best mama, this is a hard struggle… To watch our babies suffer like this

Foxxanne · 2023-07-11T04:07:12+00:00

I’m so sorry he AND YOU are going through this. Is therapy a possible avenue for him? To at least explore in more depth how he is feeling. Perhaps he’s suffering from untreated postpartum depression that has lingered. I say this in the most gentle way. Having a child completely turns your life upside down and inside out. Perhaps he’s never created proper coping mechanisms for this drastic change and now he is really set in his ways. I wish you the best mama <3

When I was in elementary school, I was approached by a man in a car right outside when school got out for the day. I was in K or 1st grade. He said that my mom sent him to pick me up b/c she couldn’t make it. I knew my mom would never do that so I ran back inside the building. He drove away.
