New life πŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆ new account ➑️ @thenew New life πŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆ new account ➑️ @thenewlolgbtq - follow for my next chapter Four years ago, I was married to a man, killing myself to try to grow a semi-successful mom blog, and starving my body in an attempt to keep it all together. I told myself β€” and anyone who would listen β€” that I was living my best life. I was happy. I was lying. Today, I’m divorced from that man, remarried to my best friend, navigating what it’s like to come out in your 40s after a lifetime of being β€œstraight”, softer and saggier and at least 30 pounds heavier … and finally ready to talk about it all. When I divorced the father of my children and then fell in love with a woman, I went dark on Instagram. I stopped blogging. I had nothing to say. And then, last weekend β€” our first @brandicarlilesmothershipwkd. 🌈 And the weekend’s @sadfriendssocialclub vulnerability workshop. ❀️‍πŸ”₯ I discovered I’m ready again. Mothership was like coming home. For the first time in a long time, I felt completely free to be me. With my wife. Unafraid and unashamed. I’m not lying anymore. To myself or my audience. I still don’t always know where we belong. We’re the token queer couple in a sea of straight friends. We still β€œpass” as straight even in the LGBTQ community. We’re finding our way one day at a time. This is #theNewLOLgbtq β€” figuring out life as a late-onset lesbian. But I know this: whoever you are, whomever you love, you belong here. ❣️ #thenewLOL #thenewlolgbtq #queermoms #queerfam #twomoms #newtolgbtq #lateonsetlesbians #latetolesbian #lesbianmoms #ipreview
When we took this picture yesterday morning, I was When we took this picture yesterday morning, I was wearing black to show my dissent on Roe v. Wade. πŸ–€ As we were leaving our local 4th of July parade, the world got darker. We heard about another parade in another Chicago suburb. Highland Park - just an hour north. The scene of yet another mass shooting. πŸ’” For so many reasons, this one hits too close to home. What if it had been us? What if it had been Wheaton? Could we protect our kids? Could their little legs run fast enough? Would our family get separated in the chaos? Would we all make it out unhurt? Why? WHY? Why does every parent have to consider these possibilities? And WHY do we keep letting this happen? On the 4th of July, we had to talk to our 9-year-old, 8-year-old and 6-year-old about mass shootings. Because they happen so often now, we need the kids to know. We don’t want them to be perpetually afraid β€” but we need them to be prepared. Now when I look at this picture, I hear their questions in my head. Did people die? In real life? Kids like me? I hear Easton, the 9-year-old, matter-of-factly explaining to his brothers how to hide on a toilet seat in a bathroom stall so you can’t be seen. I hear the steel edge in my own voice when I tell them that if it ever happens at their school, to stay quiet and do EXACTLY what their teachers say. β€œCould this happen at our school?” β€œCould this happen tomorrow at summer camp?” β€œMommy … this could happen anywhere, couldn’t it?” I can’t lie to them. I won’t. The stakes are too high. And yet, it’s hard to get out the words to confirm their nightmares β€” to confirm every parent’s own nightmare. It could. And we need to fight until it can’t.

Outer Space Kids’ Bedroom: Walls and Ceiling

Nothing like jumping into 2019 with a little DIY home decor project. It’s been a long time since we’ve done a decorating project in this house, but the timing was perfect: For Easton’s 6th birthday, we promised him a Star Wars room. It was all part of my master mom plan to switch up the …
