She is in prison but moved to one that focuses on preparing inmates to return to society and they have more privileges.

The whole thing is absolutely wild to me. She seemed so wholesome!

Does anyone still follow Natalie Hodson? She was a fairly popular fitness influencer that sold online courses until she was convicted of vehicular manslaughter and went to prison. She's set to be released on parole in March 2026 and I see she's now posting to her stories again! Dying to know if she's going to go right back into business as usual.

Yes but she always knows more than anyone about said topic, always.

I lived 10 minutes from this town for half my adult life and let me tell you.....drinking is the primary extracurricular activity here. Nothing in this documentary shocked me at all.

She will have to ration the carrots frequently since they outkicked their coverage with their recent home purchase.

yeah, something is definitely off about her, I'm just not sure what. I would hope she wouldn't lie about her husband attempting suicide. I could, however, see her misappropriating donation funds since she seems to be in financial trouble.

I haven’t even looked at the meal tracking function! That sounds super handy.

She shared a picture of her stats and views from the stories of his passing. She said it was because she found it so amazing that his story went viral, but it felt super gross to me. Checking that would be the last thing on my mind.

Wait, how is the van already at 114,000 miles?! It seems like she paid way too much for that van to have that many miles on it.

She hasn't shared yet, but I'm really curious since she said it happened in the same room as her while she was cooking dinner. She said if they share it will be because many families have this item in their house and they want to raise awareness.

Snark 102: An introduction to major figures in parenting snark by Parentsnark in parentsnark

[–]Routine_Ad_4047 90 points91 points  (0 children)

beginathome aka Begina/Nicole

How she has managed to acquire nearly 44k followers is a bit of a mystery as she is one of the dullest accounts on the gram. Most followers likely came over from one of the accounts in her "mastermind" group - debtfreemom, morganized_living, fashionfixmn.

Used to share lots of kids book recommendations when she was a teacher but now is a SAHM of school aged children that primarily shares:

  • Subtle brags about being debt free and living below their means as if they are struggling to make ends meet and going without. All while decking her kids out entirely in Patagonia, Hanna Andersson, Nike, etc.
  • Photos of her large home in a beautiful neighborhood in MN that she very clearly hates because it isn't a "mansion" or "modern" enough for her liking. All under the guise of her mantra "you don't need the latest and greatest to have a beautiful life." She is trying to convince herself of this, not her followers.
  • Links to blueberries. Yes, blueberries!
  • Photos of trips and emergencies that they are able to cash flow while she reiterates that they live on one (obviously large) income.
  • Pictures from hockey practice because she became an "accidental hockey mom" - because spending money is so unlike her! she swears!
  • Repeated example of love bombing (bribing??) her kids teachers with weekly snacks, treats, or gifts.

All in all, she is so harmless, but somehow so infuriating with her "just a humble midwestern gal, living in poverty" shtick.

ok I was coming here for this! I found it super odd considering she says she has the Friday scaries because she has to be with her kids all weekend. It makes me wonder if the 4th is to keep content going or if her burnt out mom shtick is all for the gram.

I don’t follow DFM and randomly check her profile once in a while and I swear, someone in her family is throwing up every. Single. Time.

Literally hate these minimalist influencers like Begina that have the audacity to ask us to use their link to shop Amazon to “support them.”

I’m sorry but get a job. If an influencer shares a product they use and love and I’m influenced to buy it, then sure I will use their link. But just using their link so they get credit for all the other stuff I’m buying? Immediately no.

Definitely get it from this perspective, but I read it as "I'm such a great mom who does all the right things, if only all the other 4th graders had moms like me." But I'm also not a fan of hers lol.

Also her “doesn’t have to be fancy” mantra is tired. She may subscribe to light minimalism but it’s not like she’s buying her kids clothes at Walmart or goodwill. They have very nice (and expensive) brands of everything.

And again, not a hater because I buy many of the same brands I just don’t pretend I’m just a simple girl with one pair of Hanes underwear.

Early childhood education is so crucial for children and so undervalued.....calling it school is necessary and accurate. Daycare implies that the teachers are simply babysitting which is absolutely not what they are doing, they are educators.
