That’s a really good question, especially if the new mom doesn’t even know she has postpartum depression (PPD) and many new moms (I am guilty of this) want to hide the fact that they are struggling because they think that that would be a sign that they’re not as good of a mom as they’d imagined themselves to be. New mothers struggling with a perinatal mood disorder should focus more on getting better and getting help than on feeling bad they even need help or are struggling. The Huffpost article lists the National Institute of Mental Health website and of course Postpartum Support International (PSI) as helpful resources that list common and unfortunately under-recognized signs. The Huffpost article does mention that “postpartum care in the United States is anemic” but I won’t go into this because this would take up an entire blog post on its own.

Her art shares the colors, dreams, and stories experienced through a lifetime exploring horses and animals of the American West. Her style was particularly distinct, even as a young child learning to draw the wild animals and ponies at the Seattle Woodland Park Zoo. Her equine art shows the influence of the champion Arabian, Appaloosa, Friesian, Haflinger, Morgan, Paint, Quarter horses, and Saddlebreds she once knew, like the famous stallions and mares Bear Paw, Calico Girl, Carolina Caberet, Chystal Vision, Ga'Zi, El Hilal, Khemosabi, Mondo, Although her work also includes wild birds, North American animals, native fish species, and even prehistoric animals of every type, her horses remain her trademark.

From photography, sculpture, painting, from large to small scale, Park City’s art galleries are truly world class. Their website currently features over 50 artists specializing in a range of mediums from recycled sculpture, to colorful acrylic collages to painting to Wind Sculptures. From his “Slopes” series, which depict fun, whimisical winter scenes from Park City to his “Gentle Giants” which depict horses, buffalo, cows, etc in their natural environment, his Kranstover’s work is beautiful and unique. While his official address lists as Park City, his studio is located in the sleepy town of Peoa, just outside of Park City.

I created a 1-pager (link below) that contains 8 (8 is a lucky number for the Chinese) key points on the Lunar New Year on one side and a little tutorial on stroke order for the ox character in Chinese plus a fun Word Search activity on the other side. Thus, it became a tradition to set off firecrackers at midnight on New Year’s Eve and again in the morning on New Year’s Day to bring good luck for the new year. If you ever wondered why the red paper from spent firecrackers is left around for at least a day, it’s based on the belief that if the paper away is swept away immediately, good luck would be swept along with it.6.

why do we celebrate birthdays and why do we eat cake decorated with candles? However, if you think about it, we didn’t have the skills to keep time let alone track birthdays until fairly recently. It remains unclear as to the exact origins of modern birthdays and birthday cakes, however, there seems to be enough of a consensus to piece together an approximate history. In Roman times it was ONLY male’s that had birthdays celebrations.

A new member on Perlu recently asked me to read and review his book. I honestly have to say, I was quite moved by how he was so willing to be open, honest, and vulnerable with people who don't even know or care about him. Please, DM him directly @johnnywhatagentleman on IG to get a copy, if you're interested in reading it in your spare time. Lastly, If you don't mind taking a lookand consider tipping him/ contribute a small donation to help him out.

n’t know when I’m going to feel up to returning to Facebook, but I found out something during my 1-week reprieve. Second, I’ve learned that even people who use Facebook regularly don’t necessarily realize that a daily Facebook poster like me who has suddenly deactivated her account for no apparent reason just might be going through a rough patch and a hello would be nice. Third, sure, Facebook kept me buoyed from crashing mentally during the past 4 years of sheer hell (which is thankfully ending on 1/20) because of all the like-minded groups I’ve found and local friends I’ve made. , I’m still able to stay optimistic because the Dems won the GA run-offs 2 days ago, flipping the Senate and we are finally ditching Mitch and the so-called leader of this country that has successfully incited hatred and divided citizens like no other President has done.

Like most of us this year I wasn’t able to celebrate with my nearest and dearest, so I created this lockdown cake to bring everyone together. … Let’s hope we’ll all be able to meet again in 2021 The cake base, as is traditional in the UK, is a rich fruit cake. The figures are all modelled from photographs using modelling paste, the song sheets are rice paper and the little dog on the top of the cake is modelling chocolate. So all that remains is to wish you all the best for 2021…let’s hope that by next Christmas we’ll all be able to meet and celebrate together.

super low vitamin D levels Too much computer time causing a large bump on the back of my hand 80-90 hours of mouse usage weekly Other health issues stubbornly refusing to go away And finally, starting 3 days ago, teariness I saw friends on Zoom today New Year’s Day With 2020 behind us And initial optimism for 2021 all-too-unhealthily consumed me For 80-90 hours a week, I get up, go to work, and go to bed Repeat that over and over and over and over again 2020 has left a bad taste in my mouth On top of the pandemic It was daily ridiculousness of a disastrous presidency With a pandora’s box of hatred galore The return of sun and warmth and colors Time spent outdoors Time spent with friends Might help me to remember There is more to life Than my winter blues lens is showing me
