A divine day at the garden✨ A divine day at the garden✨
The last time I had a baby was 2010, and I didn't The last time I had a baby was 2010, and I didn't join Instagram until 2012––so I don't know if there are any pregnant pics of me here on the IG! What?!⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Believe it or not, it can be hard to remember back to the itty bitty baby days. I do remember their sweet tiny toes and the weight off my belly as I waddled around. And I remember the little girl who saw me 1 week overdue and shouted "Mama! That lady's FAT" 😂 ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ I also remember the other more real challenges that came with having all four of my babies by the time I was 26––struggling to find my since of self, being pregnant or nursing for what felt like forever. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ One of the biggest lessons I've learned throughout mamahood is the importance of taking care of yourself. Another is surrounding yourself with other mamas. I've been a proud part of @alamocitymoms for the last 5 years now (first as a contributor, and now as editor). ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ The ACM team has rocked it through pandemic days with voices sharing all the challenges (and some joys) we've collectively gone through this year. Now the team has come together to pull off their first virtual event for moms of new babies coming up next week, Bloom 2020 on 9/24. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Bloom is free for new and expecting mamas (and their families) to attend online, but there are some extra special goodies for Bundle of Joy tickets––including the goodies in the second picture! 👉👉 Today is the deadline to get your Bundle of Joy ticket and grab your swag bag during contact-less pick up this weekend. Linking up via my bio. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ I'll be at @goodkindsouthtown this Saturday morning masked and waving at any friends picking their goodies up! ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀
I am en extroverted introvert all the way, and I'm I am en extroverted introvert all the way, and I'm really missing social gatherings. Bumping into friends at local gems like @pastiche_sa. Tearing it up on the dance floor at @thelonesomerose. Doing all the things and having all the carefree fun. Who else is with me? ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ I know Zoom just isn't the same, but I'm grateful for the technology to still bring us all together. Looking for a place to gather this week? I've got two for ya!⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ I'll be cohosting Yappy Hour for @dogfriendlysa with @texaspublicradio this Thursday evening. And if you're more of a morning person, on Friday I'll be introducing San Antonio Poet Laureate Andrea Sanderson (aka @vocabulous) and spoken word poet Rooster Martinez (@ayaroost) for this month's CreativeMornings event with @sanantonio_cm. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Both are FREE and virtual, and I hope to see your beautiful faces there. Linking up to both via my bio. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ How are you staying connected with your community, your irl social network these days?⁠⠀
One of the ways we've kept our sanity and celebrat One of the ways we've kept our sanity and celebrated birthdays during the pandemic at our house is hosting backyard movie nights. For our last three birthday celebrations I let each birthday kiddo invite 1-2 friends over for a masked up, socially distanced mini party. In lieu of cake (and candle blowing) I opted for decorated cookies from @lilyscookies, and prepackaged individual snacks. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Giving my kids opportunities to see friends in ways that feel safe has been instrumental in keeping their spirits high. Especially as we continue with distance learning for the time being. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ I don't have a good picture of my setup, but I'm linking up to the projector (which I already had) and the budget-friendly outdoor screen we put up for screenings. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Have you tried your own outdoor movie setup? What special things are you doing to keep your kids' spirits up?
