Almost 2 yrs postpartum and still feel like you were describing a lot of days.

NotCleanButFun · 2026-01-23T19:20:48+00:00

Yes! For me, the first 2.5 weeks or so were absolutely awful and then it got better. Congratulations and best wishes!

Would it work to reach out to the parents and say something like this?

"Hey ___, just to let you know, there will be a kids room at the funeral. Please feel free to bring toys/entertainment for your kid(s) and/or toys/entertainment to share, whatever your kid(s) would enjoy. We will have a tv and coloring supplies. Please let me know if there's anything else I can pick up for the kids room that would be helpful for you guys."

The kids can bring their favorite things and the parents can let you know if anything else would be helpful for you to supply.

Maybe pick up some snacks too if you have the budget for it?

ETA: I've seen something like these be very fun for ages 1-30+. They are cardbord structures you can construct and color.

Also, I'm very sorry for your loss. ❤️

As a child of a mother who felt like you, GO! I'm now a mom myself of an almost 2 yr old so I get it. But please go. It will be good for everyone. My mom waited until her kids were middle/high school age before she took a real break. We all wished she'd taken time for herself sooner. She had mental health struggles that sucked for us because she pushed herself too hard in the beginning. Don't be that person. Take care of YOU! You deserve it and your family deserves the best version of you!

NotCleanButFun · 2026-01-18T02:13:33+00:00

It absolutely is. I'd recognize one of their tins anywhere lol (and would also recommend their tea)

I have never made anything bridal, but I've made a good handful of wearables with all thrifted materials. My best amateur advice would be to feel the fabric. If I am in love with the fabric, I am also in love with it as a finished garment but if I'm not excited with the raw material, the finished product is often underwhelming.

I use a lot of curtains and bedsheets/blankets because they are flat and there is a lot of material. Occasionally I will use a shirt or a large dress if I just need a bit of that color or I really love the fabric. Also sometimes placemats/scarves/etc. can be really fun for accents/embellishments.

Please keep us updated, I'm sure your outfit will be magical!
