Mental health check in, how’s everyone doing?? I Mental health check in, how’s everyone doing?? I shared how I’m doing in stories today, we made it through the holidays but it was a lot harder than I thought. I’m sruggling in a few ways. Struggling on social media with the comparison game, struggling in general as a stay at home mom of two, struggling with a fussy two month old that doesn’t sleep, struggling that I’m unable to do things for me right now (like even go to the bathroom or shower alone), struggling with the omnipresent grief and anxiety, struggling with guilt — guilt over not giving my oldest enough attention, over wanting him to start back at school again, over not being happy and grateful 24/7.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
If I learned anything last year it was to accept my feelings as they come and not label any as “bad,” so that’s what I’m working on, that’s my daily reminder. As my friend said to me today, this is hard, it’s the trenches!! Be gentle. It’s hard and wonderful all at once.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
Check in below👇⁣⁣⠀
❤️ - I’m feeling great⁣⁣⠀
🧡 - I’m feeling ok⁣⁣⠀
💛 - I’m surviving⁣⁣⠀
💚 - I’m struggling⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
Let’s show up and support each other and remind each other we’re not alone in these hard days🖤
Took this week to unplug and reflect. Wild year. M Took this week to unplug and reflect. Wild year. Mixed feelings about a new year is not foreign to me, this is how I felt last year going into 2020. 2019 was Liam’s year, it was the worst but it gave me a perspective I’ll never lose and one I carried into 2020.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
Through hardship you grow.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
2020 saw more focus on me, on my mental wellness + on my family. Less worrying about what people think of me, less apologizing, more doing what makes me happy (or gets me through the day). More of that in this space also. I’m not going to be everyone’s cup of tea so might as well be me, ALL of me💯✌️⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
I’m not a resolution or goal setter when it comes to a new year, I try to focus on reflecting, releasing what doesn’t serve me any longer + manifesting/using affirmations to bring the good. Still working on what those are exactly for 2021!⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
In the meantime I wanted to share some of my big 2020 memories and wish you all love, light, peace and healing in the new year✨⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
1-2. Our new family unit🧡⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
3-4. The birth of our daughter, Elora, the best thing to come out of 2020. She is the brightest light.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
5. Luca’s love for his sister + once again navigating a “new normal” in our family.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
6. Pregnancy after loss. Amidst a global pandemic. While wrangling a toddler. One of the hardest things I’ve ever done, it was pure survival mode (+ still is postpartum).⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
7. Growing the most beautiful dahlias and diving more into gardening than ever before, mostly as a form of therapy, AND sharing it all with you guys — connecting through our gardens was one of my favorite parts of the year + growing this community has brought me so much joy!⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
8. Finding my groove and launching my oils business — never thought I would make more than my blogging income + be able to pay off debt😭⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
9. Luca turning 2 and weaning + potty training at the same time — his decisions, not mine!⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
10. Liam’s due date in April. I remember wishing more than anything for the chance to deliver him healthy and full term, pandemic and all. We miss our boy + are moving forward WITH him, we’ll love him forever from afar❤️
Chaotic and beautiful and hard and exhausting and Chaotic and beautiful and hard and exhausting and awesome❤️ exactly how I want to remember this day. We’re sending you big love this Christmas, complete with our best “ewie smiles” (Luca’s term for silly faces🤣). I love how Doobie snuck his nose in there too!! Swipe for some special moments/things of the day❤️❤️
⋒ 8 weeks of Elora Leigh ⋒⁣⁣⠀ ⁣⁣⠀ ⋒ 8 weeks of Elora Leigh ⋒⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
You have been here in our arms for almost two whole months and my heart still skips a beat when I wake up and see you next to me. You are truly here. I still can’t believe you’re real and you’re ours.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
At 8 weeks you’re not such a tiny babe anymore, you’ve doubled your birth weight and grew four inches — a testament to how much you love to eat😅🍼 (pic four is day 3 for reference!). Your chubby cheeks are also a testament to your love of milk😍😍 The super sleepy newborn days are over😭 You’re waking up more and more, crying more too (see pic three🤪), but still giving us good stretches of sleep (4-5 hours) at night. You don’t love cuddling with me as much as your brother did, I’m still in denial over that! And you’ve broken out of the swaddle, sleep sackin it up already! Luca loves you more than anything and is always wanting to hold you and help me clean your “spiggups,” he calls you “mista baby” and it killssss your dad and I every time🤣⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
I feel like you just arrived but also like I’ve known you forever. Happy 8 weeks of life Elora, you are so loved💗⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
#8weeks #eloraleigh #watcheloragrow
Unpopular or popular opinion? Gratitude is hard wh Unpopular or popular opinion? Gratitude is hard when you’re struggling.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
Gratitude, when forced, feels like shame. As the wise @sitwithwhit said the other day, it’s  the new toxic positivity — if we’re going to feel sad, then we better be grateful too.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
The pressure on the bereaved to feel and express gratitude in their grief is REAL.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
So here is my reminder — It’s ok to *not* balance out your pain with gratitude. ⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
To me, when gratitude is forced I feel inauthentic and ashamed. When everyone is talking about gratitude journals and how to “focus on the good,” I feel left out.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
Let’s normalize expressing pain and grief without following it up with “BUT... gratitude.” It’s like saying that makes our pain seem more bearable from the outside. I get it. Grief is uncomfortable. Pain is ugly. It’s easier to look away. It’s easier to engage if the griever ends their thought on a positive, that’s the pressure. But what if I don’t feel positives in my pain?⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
If gratitude helps you to process your grief, that is really great. Everyone grieves differently. I spoke about this in stories today and 100s of you wrote in saying you felt heard. I’m happy it resonated, I’m always nervous to express these opinions but there are ALWAYS people out there who relate and need to hear it. You are my people❤️⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
So here are your reminders if you’re grieving or struggling this holiday season, or just reflecting on a hard year:⁣⁣⠀
❤️Be gentle with yourself, your feelings are valid.⁣⁣⠀
❤️You don’t owe anything to anyone, especially in your grief.⁣⁣⠀
❤️It’s ok to feel shitty, period. No ifs, ands, buts or justifications necessary.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
Love you guys🤟🤟🤟⁣⁣⠀

Just love this little Christmas corner with all of Just love this little Christmas corner with all of our stockings🌲🥰 Anyone else getting snow tonight!? I’m excited! I love the snow and I love seeing the magic in Luca’s eyes, he just lights up over the littlest things and it makes this season so much brighter for us✨

Third postpartum, second c-section, a little more Third postpartum, second c-section, a little more prepared for recovery this time and it’s going a lot smoother. I shared some of my postpartum favorites/must haves in stories today as well as on the blog (link in my bio)! ⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
Also shared some tips I wish I knew the first time around like to not feel ashamed to ask for help or guilty for taking care of myself. That’s my biggest tip —⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
Take care of yourself.⁣⁣⠀
Take care of yourself.⁣⁣⠀
Take care of yourself.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
I can’t stress this enough. It’s the norm in our society to focus more on the baby than the mom but during the fourth trimester she needs care and attention now more than ever. You can’t take care of your baby without taking care of yourself first❤️⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
Some other postpartum tips:⁣⁣⠀
🌿take all the pictures and take pictures with you in them, they will be absolute treasures to look back on, especially the ones where you look like crap (I promise you don’t actually look like crap, it’s real life though, which are the best to look back on)⁣⁣⠀
🌿you may not know what you’re doing but listen to your instincts, the mama instinct is strong and it’s REAL⁣⁣⠀
🌿take home all the things from the hospital (pads, disposable undies, abdominal binder, all of it)🙌⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
If you are postpartum after loss you’re still postpartum but it’s even harder without your baby. Cabbage leaves, peppermint essential oil and a tight sports bra to help get rid of your milk supply. Find a grief counselor and a support group, validation and acknowledgement is everything. I’ve been there and it’s the literal worst, be gentle with yourself. You are still a mother❤️

It’s time for the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2019 and I have the ultimate guide to help you navigate the sale!

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2019 Try On Haul: The Ultimate Guide to this year’s sale!

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2019 in-store early access try-on and my top picks from the sale

I have to admit I do love me some Nordstrom and I also love a good sale! So Nordstrom’s anniversary sale is one of my favorites of the entire year. You can snag BRAND NEW fall pieces at pretty discounted prices – booties, denim, cardigans/sweaters, coats, accessories, athletic wear – all NEW styles to fill your fall wardrobe!

AND many of the brands are some of my FAVORITE big names, so I especially like to save on these or invest in something I’ve had my eye on.

Click the brand name below to be taken to the respective sale pages for each. Sometimes I find it’s easier for me to shop this way!

  • Hunter
  • Tory Burch
  • Barefoot Dreams
  • Spanx
  • Zella
  • Vince Cumto
  • Madewell
  • Free People
  • Nuna
  • Converse

There are also great deals on items for the home, baby/kid’s stuff, and beauty products as well. I’ll be covering all of these categories over the next few weeks!

I spent a few hours yesterday in-store putting together a (hopefully) helpful try-on because I know not all of you have a store near you! My store of course did not have everything (I don’t think any store does!) but I have also included some extra picks at the bottom of this post. I’ll also be making an online order this week and doing a try on of those things at home, stay tuned!

As far as my purchases this year I tried to take it slow and be superrrr thoughtful. I actually invested in A LOT last year, so truth be told I really didn’t need much this year! I went for quality pieces that I knew I would wear a ton, as well as a few investment pieces I can keep wearing year after year. Plus I FINALLY scooped up this Barefoot Dreams Blanket I’ve been eyeing for two years now!

PS: Nordstrom always has FREE SHIPPING & FREE RETURNS!

Their customer service is top notch and a big reason why I love shopping with them!!

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2019 Dates & Tips

If you’re just popping into this post and aren’t sure about dates, here is a quick breakdown.

  • Ambassadors + Icon Members (aka. big spenders) get even earlier access this year: July 11th at 12:30pm EST 
  • Early Access for Nordstrom cardholders can shop: July 12th at 12:30pm EST – July 18th
  • Public Access (anyone) can shop: July 19th – August 4th

TIP: If you are a card holder you can request to make your shopping day your “triple points day” that way you can maximize your rewards!

It's time for the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2019 and I have the ultimate guide to help you navigate the sale!

My Approach to the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2019

I’m a pretty casual person, I don’t really stray far from my comfort zone of comfy tees, neutral colors, cozy fabrics, and mom-friendly everything! I look for versatility – “capsule” items I can style multiple ways/things I can dress up or dress down, wear for a few seasons, etc.; I look for value – something I will get a lot of use out of through several years and seasons; I look for practicality – pretty and useful! That’s how I like my purchases haha. And I look for worth – is the item actually a good deal considering the sale price, but would I also invest in this item even if it was not on sale. AKA am I really scoring an awesome deal on something I love?

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2019 Sizing Info

I am 5’8″ and typically wear a medium, 8 or 29 as far as sizes go. My body shape is curvy/hourglass/athletic shape, and I am a 34D bra size or large. I also have broad shoulders (swimmer life), muscular thighs and wide feet (size 9 in shoes).

Unless I note otherwise, I am wearing my normal size in all pieces!

About My Links

Items in this post (and in most of my posts here on the blog) are affiliate links. This means I am affiliated with the retailer and make a small commission when an item is purchased “through” my link (aka when you click on it). This does not affect the price you pay AT ALL. You do not pay any extra by clicking on an affiliate link! The small commission I make from a purchase helps me make a living and helps my family pay the bills just like any other job.

One thing to note about links is that if you are on mobile and it opens in-app the purchase does not get linked back to me. No big deal, I totally understand and LOVE the convenience of apps myself! But I do get this question and wanted to clarify.

I just want to take a sec to say THANK YOU! Thank you for taking the time to read my post and support my family and I, it is so so appreciated more than you will ever know!!

North Face ThermoBall Insulated Parka ($160) // Adidas Sneakers ($64) // Little Boy North Face ($48, similar)

This was one of my investment pieces from last year and I have already gotten much more than my money’s worth out of it! I love the length, I love that it’s super lightweight and I love that it keeps me warm! I didn’t get it purposely for traveling but being so lightweight it was awesome for that! I wore it everyday as my winter coat and it’s ThermoBall technology kept me super warm during our cold NY winter. I plan on wearing it again this winter!

I forgot to take a photo of myself in THIS Caslon sweater/tunic but it was the first one in my story try on! Great sweater that I could see myself wearing all fall and winter. It’s nice and long so you could definitely pair it with leggings! It’s oversized but I like the way the medium fits me, you could size down one if you wanted though! The fabric is super soft and stretchy like cashmere!

Love these, anything slip-on is life when you’re a busy mom! These one in a few colors and fit TTS, the perforated detail and slight platform I think are really beautiful and for Ugg the price point is great! I did not grab these only because I own a super similar pair by Steve Madden, but I have to admit I like the perforated detail on these better than my plain ones and these are CHEAPER!

Born Suede & Leather Riding Boots ($160)

These are my riding boots of choice for the sale! Born is an incredible company, very high quality, so for $160 I think these are a steal. They also fit perfectly around my big calves with room to spare sooo SCORE! And I tried on the regular, NOT the wide calf (but the option is there if needed). I just love the two-tone of the different textures, the inside is cool, the heel is perfect and they are comfortable. Checks everything off my list!

Vince Camuto Perforated Bootie ($99)

Love this color bootie, it is so versatile for the fall! I have a similar pair that I wore ALL the time last year! The heel height is 2″ which is perfect for everyday wear. This would be a closet staple in my opinion!

I found another SUPER similar pair that is also part of the sale for under $60! CLICK HERE!

Steve Madden Loafers ($59)

Snake print is in! I can handle it in a small/sbutle shoe like these and I thin they would work well in my wardrobe because most of my clothes are neutral/non-patterened. So adding a pop or color or pattern to your shoe is a good way to spruce up any look. These were a little tight on me so I sized up a 1/2 size, and they come in a bunch of colors/patterns!

Vince Camuto Bootie ($99)

These are SO sleek and chic! I’m obsessed!! I love that the toe is a little more narrow and they come in a bunch of colors/patterns! Snake print is in for this season but I don’t think I’m quite there yet to fully invest in a snake print boot haha. But I do love this color (foxy suede) and the black! I did not snag these even though they are my top bootie pick of the sale, only because I own a SUPER similar pair from last year!

Adidas Sneaker ($64)

LOVE these sneaks! I own them in a lighter color but I’m digging the copper stripes! They fit TTS and are super comfy, I wore them while hiking the volcano in Maui and they are my sneaker of choice for everyday use. This is the cheapest I have seen them and I’ve kept my eye on them!!

Blondo Hidden Wedge Sneaker ($79)

These are CUTE. I don’t own anything like them but I’ve been eyeing the style since last year so when I saw the price I scooped them right up! This brand is fully waterproof which is convenient, the hidden wedge is super subtle (I didn’t even notice it at first!) and they fit TTS!

Cheaper, SUPER similar option linked HERE! (Under $50 by Caslon!)

I always want to remember this summer, the first summer with our brand new baby boy. Read this post for our 2018 summer recap!
It's time for the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2019 and I have the ultimate guide to help you navigate the sale!

Hunter Mid-Calf Boots $89 (reg. $140!!)

I highly recommend investing in Hunters if you’ve been eyeing them! THESE are my absolute favorite pair I’ve ever owned – they are durable, functional (I use them in the garden, on the farm and whenever it rains or snows!) and they’re cute! Plus I LOVE the mid-calf height because I have wider calves and these fit awesome, there’s a little room around my legs which is so much more comfortable. For Hunter you cannot beat this price, it’s rare to see ANY styles under $100 let alone one as cute as this!

 

PHEW thanks for bearing with me through that you guys! Below are shoppable images separated by category, they include try on items plus some extra favorite I saw while browsing online!

If you scroll all the way down I have all the try on pieces in one place as well. I hope this helps, happy shopping guys!!

    Hey!! It’s me Katie from @Katie.Plus.Coffee hands down the best NSale blog post without question!!! We have similar style preferences… maybe because we’re both moms or maybe because we’re just major style icons 😂 who knows. So my favorites are the madewell mules, Ugg slip ons (I own in black and they’re amazing), love the colorblock sweater and the barefoot dreams cardigan (most comfy ever.) We also buy Nuna during the sale every year. Bought the stroller and baby car seat two years ago, convertible last year and buying the convertible again this year for baby #2. Highly recommend because of points and like you said not going on sale!

I scooped this dress up with an upcoming trip to Italy, and plan to wear with plain white sneakers, and know I’ll get a lot of wear this fall too. So versatile!

Rollin with my homies😜 we had a blast trying ou Rollin with my homies😜 we had a blast trying out the @cadillac XT6 for the week, it’s the perfect midsize suv with room for the whole family - giving you a closer look over in stories! Thank you to Cadillac for gifting us this experience!!
Mental health check in, how’s everyone doing?? I Mental health check in, how’s everyone doing?? I shared how I’m doing in stories today, we made it through the holidays but it was a lot harder than I thought. I’m sruggling in a few ways. Struggling on social media with the comparison game, struggling in general as a stay at home mom of two, struggling with a fussy two month old that doesn’t sleep, struggling that I’m unable to do things for me right now (like even go to the bathroom or shower alone), struggling with the omnipresent grief and anxiety, struggling with guilt — guilt over not giving my oldest enough attention, over wanting him to start back at school again, over not being happy and grateful 24/7.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
If I learned anything last year it was to accept my feelings as they come and not label any as “bad,” so that’s what I’m working on, that’s my daily reminder. As my friend said to me today, this is hard, it’s the trenches!! Be gentle. It’s hard and wonderful all at once.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
Check in below👇⁣⁣⠀
❤️ - I’m feeling great⁣⁣⠀
🧡 - I’m feeling ok⁣⁣⠀
💛 - I’m surviving⁣⁣⠀
💚 - I’m struggling⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
Let’s show up and support each other and remind each other we’re not alone in these hard days🖤
Took this week to unplug and reflect. Wild year. M Took this week to unplug and reflect. Wild year. Mixed feelings about a new year is not foreign to me, this is how I felt last year going into 2020. 2019 was Liam’s year, it was the worst but it gave me a perspective I’ll never lose and one I carried into 2020.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
Through hardship you grow.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
2020 saw more focus on me, on my mental wellness + on my family. Less worrying about what people think of me, less apologizing, more doing what makes me happy (or gets me through the day). More of that in this space also. I’m not going to be everyone’s cup of tea so might as well be me, ALL of me💯✌️⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
I’m not a resolution or goal setter when it comes to a new year, I try to focus on reflecting, releasing what doesn’t serve me any longer + manifesting/using affirmations to bring the good. Still working on what those are exactly for 2021!⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
In the meantime I wanted to share some of my big 2020 memories and wish you all love, light, peace and healing in the new year✨⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
1-2. Our new family unit🧡⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
3-4. The birth of our daughter, Elora, the best thing to come out of 2020. She is the brightest light.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
5. Luca’s love for his sister + once again navigating a “new normal” in our family.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
6. Pregnancy after loss. Amidst a global pandemic. While wrangling a toddler. One of the hardest things I’ve ever done, it was pure survival mode (+ still is postpartum).⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
7. Growing the most beautiful dahlias and diving more into gardening than ever before, mostly as a form of therapy, AND sharing it all with you guys — connecting through our gardens was one of my favorite parts of the year + growing this community has brought me so much joy!⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
8. Finding my groove and launching my oils business — never thought I would make more than my blogging income + be able to pay off debt😭⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
9. Luca turning 2 and weaning + potty training at the same time — his decisions, not mine!⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
10. Liam’s due date in April. I remember wishing more than anything for the chance to deliver him healthy and full term, pandemic and all. We miss our boy + are moving forward WITH him, we’ll love him forever from afar❤️
Chaotic and beautiful and hard and exhausting and Chaotic and beautiful and hard and exhausting and awesome❤️ exactly how I want to remember this day. We’re sending you big love this Christmas, complete with our best “ewie smiles” (Luca’s term for silly faces🤣). I love how Doobie snuck his nose in there too!! Swipe for some special moments/things of the day❤️❤️
⋒ 8 weeks of Elora Leigh ⋒⁣⁣⠀ ⁣⁣⠀ ⋒ 8 weeks of Elora Leigh ⋒⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
You have been here in our arms for almost two whole months and my heart still skips a beat when I wake up and see you next to me. You are truly here. I still can’t believe you’re real and you’re ours.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
At 8 weeks you’re not such a tiny babe anymore, you’ve doubled your birth weight and grew four inches — a testament to how much you love to eat😅🍼 (pic four is day 3 for reference!). Your chubby cheeks are also a testament to your love of milk😍😍 The super sleepy newborn days are over😭 You’re waking up more and more, crying more too (see pic three🤪), but still giving us good stretches of sleep (4-5 hours) at night. You don’t love cuddling with me as much as your brother did, I’m still in denial over that! And you’ve broken out of the swaddle, sleep sackin it up already! Luca loves you more than anything and is always wanting to hold you and help me clean your “spiggups,” he calls you “mista baby” and it killssss your dad and I every time🤣⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
I feel like you just arrived but also like I’ve known you forever. Happy 8 weeks of life Elora, you are so loved💗⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
#8weeks #eloraleigh #watcheloragrow
Unpopular or popular opinion? Gratitude is hard wh Unpopular or popular opinion? Gratitude is hard when you’re struggling.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
Gratitude, when forced, feels like shame. As the wise @sitwithwhit said the other day, it’s  the new toxic positivity — if we’re going to feel sad, then we better be grateful too.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
The pressure on the bereaved to feel and express gratitude in their grief is REAL.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
So here is my reminder — It’s ok to *not* balance out your pain with gratitude. ⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
To me, when gratitude is forced I feel inauthentic and ashamed. When everyone is talking about gratitude journals and how to “focus on the good,” I feel left out.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
Let’s normalize expressing pain and grief without following it up with “BUT... gratitude.” It’s like saying that makes our pain seem more bearable from the outside. I get it. Grief is uncomfortable. Pain is ugly. It’s easier to look away. It’s easier to engage if the griever ends their thought on a positive, that’s the pressure. But what if I don’t feel positives in my pain?⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
If gratitude helps you to process your grief, that is really great. Everyone grieves differently. I spoke about this in stories today and 100s of you wrote in saying you felt heard. I’m happy it resonated, I’m always nervous to express these opinions but there are ALWAYS people out there who relate and need to hear it. You are my people❤️⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
So here are your reminders if you’re grieving or struggling this holiday season, or just reflecting on a hard year:⁣⁣⠀
❤️Be gentle with yourself, your feelings are valid.⁣⁣⠀
❤️You don’t owe anything to anyone, especially in your grief.⁣⁣⠀
❤️It’s ok to feel shitty, period. No ifs, ands, buts or justifications necessary.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
Love you guys🤟🤟🤟⁣⁣⠀
