Things have been challenging with the big brother lately, as it tends to go with a new arrival. I can only imagine how difficult it has been for him to grow up overnight and adjust to backstage after 7 years in the lime light. But hoo boy the acting out is tough to deal with as I’m adjusting to two. I haven’t been my best self with him. So I needed this boost for my parenting self esteem. I don’t think I ever read at a sleepover and I’m a huge bookworm! (They’re reading beloved Italian series about the mouse Geronimo Stilton) 📚 #sleepover #friends #reading #italy
Al mare! 🏖😎
Already the length of his arm! #wheredoesthetimego #siblings
I’m excited to dive into this doozy. One of the many benefits of having a friend who minored in women’s studies (ahem, @eabellinobutler) is the amazing library from which you can borrow. This one was inscribed in 1995. I can’t help but wonder what my life would’ve been like had I been reading stuff like this then. Maybe I could have gotten over the eating disorder faster, or dumped the abusive boyfriend sooner. Or even not allowed those things to happen in the first place. It’s only been over the last ten years that I’ve really come to feminism, on my own, in the nooks and crannies between work and family. Which is also to admit that I still have a lot of classic texts to catch up on!
