I do not need to jam pack my nor my children’s schedules with things to do every second. I also appreciate how you started the video with evaluating what matters the most to us! It’s easy to become a busy body and lose sight of what is most important and what we’d like to focus on/invest in regarding time and energy. Thank you!

    The hardest part for me is how my husband reacts. My husband is a very sweet sensitive man, but his ADHD is getting worse. Unfortunately, I don't just get irritable. I become very sensitive to overstimulation, I get ocd-like symptoms, and I don't feel safe if I don't know how to interpret stimuli (which is hard with how much I get from his ADHD). I have a lot of explosive meltdowns. Now my husband can't think around me, or talk without his voice shaking when I'm dealing with PMS. That makes it 10x worse for me/us. 😭

    One lesson I’ve learned this year actually has come from organic gardening in my backyard and seeing the simple pleasures of plants taking shape or bearing fruit over time as a lesson of patience and all things develop in their own time. It’s a gentle reminder for me to slow down each day in little ways and to fully appreciate the present moment. Not only is gardening, I find, therapeutic, inexpensive, and teaches about unprocessed foods, but deleting cards off Amazon or focused on small wins, like tomatoes growing ripe for summer salads, has truly been rewarding. I love learning about natural foods now and feeling proud of growing a small humble garden of my own. My goal over time is to learn more about healthy foods and wellness, the larger and healthier the garden grows. It makes me excited now to try new vegetables for a planting season, or harvesting fresh fruit. I had a bad accident a while back with cooking and hot boiling water which made me scared to cook on a stove, so hoping these plants give courage to try cooking more again too.

    My boy is 12 weeks and it is definitely not like this for me. It got easier. But other things came along. And it is very difficult at times. When my boy has blow outs it takes me alone over 1.5 hours to get him and everything cleaned and sorted. Also, we are figuring out our sleep situation, so I'm not getting much sleep currently.... and feel so low.... Situations can be very difficult. I love my baby boy so much and it is a whole journey for him to get used to this new world and changes. If your situation does not look this "easy" mine sure does not. I am hardly able to do anything else but look after our boy and get myself some food. This is just our situation. Everyone's journey is different. So please don't judge and compare yourself and your journey with other people and their journey.

    I've taken birth control injections for over 10 years and this year me and my husband decided to try to get pregnant because I'm 38, will turn 39 this year, (afraid I was getting too old) so I stopped taking it in January. Never got even close to a pregnancy scare or anything like that before. My period was all over the place once I stopped taking the birth control. I had a tooth problem and had to extract it in the begining of June/2024 and after I did I felt sooooo drowsy for a couple of days (I thought it was because of the minor surgery). And I would urinate so much and so often, one night I almost didn't make it to the bathroom. Suddenly I've became very aware that my period hasn't come for some time. I bought a pharmacy pregnancy test but it was negative. Thinking it was too early I've decided to wait a few more days and go to the doctor to get a blood test since my period still hasn't come and I've been getting these symptoms like you say in the video, the uterus pinch, the EXTREME hunger. But I've had little to no nausea and no breast tenderness, only today (almost two weeks after extracting my tooth) I've noticed my nipples sensitive (ie. hurting). Planning to going to the doctor next Thursday. Wish me luck <3

    🙏💜 Yes! Turning off notifications on your phone is SO healthy! (New sub!) I think too many people feel they're "on call" 24/7, and too many people try to demand that of others. No, unless you work in specific fields...you are not. It really is OK to pare back on notifications or, at the very least, turn them off for a few hours/day. Many phones have a Do Not Disturb feature that allows for this, so you don't even have to think about it. Here's another thought: What if you do shift work, or attend college, or have physical disabilities that require quiet at times? These are all reasons to turn your phone off so that you can sleep when you need to or not interrupt a professor during a lecture. I personally have done both of these as I'm sure many others have. I also have chronic migraines--like many do as well. You better believe I turn off my phone to rest when a migraine comes on. No apologies! Anyone who loves and cares about me knows they can leave a text or voicemail at any time; if I happen to have my phone off because I'm not well, they know I will get back to them when I feel better. You are in control of your phone...THAT is the bottom line. It is meant to be a tool to help you. How you use it will determine whether it is helpful or not. I'm SO glad this topic was included in this video--in any video--because so many don't even consider it as an option. Having it on to keep up with children for safety reasons and such makes sense, too, of course. That's a given, but I thought I should mention it. At the very least, grant yourself a break at night for a bit before bed. You'll feel better for it! 🙏💜

      Hey there! I'd like to make a video on simple living with kids around. My toddler is 19 months so we're still able to be relatively choosy when it comes to decluttering/donating things as needed. But I think at the end of the day, there are some things we can't always control (like the gifts our children receive and items that they love and want to keep for themselves) and that's okay! As my daughter gets older though, I'd probably approach this by having open dialogue about toys and donating things that aren't being used and such. I hope this kind of helps haha!

    I love plants but I hate caring for them. Watering, pruning, replanting, and it goes on and on. So I gave myself permission to stop. Once my plants were past their prime, I replaced them with modern realistic substitutes (so real-looking that a bee tried to pollinate them lol) and have never looked back. I realized the emotional bandwidth of being responsible for too many living things (even if it is just a plant) was stressing me out. Now I have beautiful "plants" that ask nothing of me. But don't worry, we live in a forest, and nature and high-quality O2 literally flow through my windows.

    • @meghanlivingstone
      @meghanlivingstone 12 дней назад

      This is a good point! I have a bunch of houseplants and I fully understand how sometimes we need to not keep adding to the collection. They certainly require upkeep. The gardens around our house were very elaborate (and overgrown) when we first moved in and even though I loveeeee gardening, we pared down the number of plants because it was pretty out of control and now it's so much easier and enjoyable to maintain.
