Mostly I think it is attributed to the fact that I like to take it one day at a time, because this is our forever journey and it will evolve. It started with once in a while, and we wrote it off as a terrible witching hour that was very quickly started to dread. I noticed he was STILL seemingly choking or having trouble with excess gulping and thankfully right around his third month, we discovered the preemie nipples to the Dr. Brown bottles. My mom said she noticed him not catching himself on that side too, but didn’t want to worry me and thought he would just outgrow it, or that she was just over analyzing too.

And I say that because I agree it is serious to SOME demographics (particularly the elderly or those with respiratory health concerns) but in all honesty, looking at the stats and the symptoms, for the rest of us, it is a bad cold/flu. And while I appreciate her teacher for informing them and for teaching them how to properly wash their hands (her teacher is THE best honestly), I wish the adults would get the same memos and stop buying out the entire supply of toilet paper. ’s gunna be ok when you get a text from me contemplating homeschooling for the 400th time this week. Also, all jokes aside, let’s take a step back and have a little compassion for those with compromised immune systems and the elderly.

I’ve talked to so many clients who try to meal plan, but feel it’s too complicated, time-consuming or doesn’t fit their lifestyle. That’s why I want to dive into a simplified meal-planning process that will have you shopping your pantry, saving time, money and reducing food waste! For instance, if you have a lot of veggies in the fridge that need to be eaten, plan on making some of your dinners revolve around things like soup, salad, pasta sauce or fried rice – dinners that you can throw a lot of random items into, and still have it taste great. But if you stick to it week by week, in three months, you’ll have more space in your pantry, you’ll be more intentional about your shopping, will save money and reduce your food waste.

At one point I even just slapped the bleach all over my head (which is TERRIBLE for your head if you have scalp psoriasis by the way) and thought “Yay, now I’ll really be blonde!!! And actually there was one point at which I toned it and used enough shampoo to actually like it, but this yellow hot mess I showed up at Sharon’s with was about 4 weeks since its last bleaching/toning. A good friend of mine, Michelle of Its Brown Time (check out their IG here), has been going to Sharon for some time now and tells me great things about her often. You see when you find yourself unemployed and try to turn a hobby into a potentially fruitful career, things like getting your hair and nails done get thrown on the back burner and you go into survival mode with the exception of a good time with your closest friends or your family to keep you motivated.
