💖 This Kid... Goodness, She Is Amazing To Me! 🦊❤

Yummmm!!! We made latkes and applesauce for dinner tonight! Leocadia loved helping me prep the potatoes and watching me fry them in oil. They tasted delicious, just like I remember how they tasted from my childhood in Germany💖 #latkesandapplesauce #nostalgia #familytraditions #germany #theholidaysmakemehomesick

#walmart is speaking my language today! #foxeseverywhere 🦊❤🦊❤

I found bunches of #dollgoodies at #walmart ! This particular store has oodles of new #mladolls accessories! I picked up one of the MLA doll room scenes for Leocadia. Totally worth the $7.98 for portable #dollyfunfinds #agig #altagig #joytoeverygirl #agdollhouse #craftymama #mladolls

Easter was nice this year. Leocadia's aunt cooked Easter dinner. I got to see my nephews and Leocadia had a blast. But something has been bugging me about my interactions with people Sunday. I always feel obligated to blend in, to be pleasant. For me, that can be a lot of work and is physically and emotionally draining. A family member, at one point, was having difficulty get up from a sitting position on the floor and I suggested trying yoga. She laughed and asked if I had done it. I said yes, I did it for years, and my last class was at xmas. I've done yoga for years and I'm still limber enough to do some difficult poses well, despite the fact that I'm not skinny. Thet challenged me they told me to prove it. They didn't believe me. And I was expected to immediately start doing yoga poses for these people without centering myself.😑 Now, this should have raised red flags and questions then, but being me, I wasn't thinking about that, just trying to fit in. I realized they were laughing at me. They were belittling me. Why? I've noticed that this has become a trend with them. They constantly question my statements and do not ever believe a word I say. And more often than not, they laugh at what I say. I can't say they hurt my feelings, because they didn't. I can say I am embarrassed that I allowed these people to laugh at me. I have nothing to prove to them, or anybody really, and I need to remind my self of that. So, to my doubters and naysayers- Here's a challenge for you: go to a yoga class with me. And then come to my farm and do all the work I do. Carry 50 pound sacks of feed, bales of hay, chase down cattle and sheep, wade through muck and mire to shoot snakes, chop down diseased trees, feed babies and care for the sick. And do everything else I do while I also raise a child by myself. And then create the things I do on a daily basis. I have nothing to prove to you. I'm a badass. I prove that to myself every day.

Throwback to January 1st when I had tonnes of fun with my BFF @lza_plays and Leocadia at the American Girl Bistro in MA. Before, and after, tea I proceeded to all emotional over Luciana and her Space Camp goodies. Thankfully, no pictures exist of my emotional blubbering. This awesome lady gets me completely! Thank you, @lza_plays for a wonderful day and inviting us to tea!😙 #bff #teaparty #godmother #agig #altagig #joytoeverygirl #agdollhouse #lucianavega #STEMgirls #craftymama #americangirlplace #judgementfreezone #spaceacademyalumnus #nostalgia #whenfriendsarebetterthanfamily

So, since going public with my account, I realized that kids and others not in my friend circle are liking and following me. It's awesome that there are people that enjoy my posts, but I am an adult and I sometimes use foul language, which is not acceptable for children. I also have zero tolerance for creeps and trolls. If I find out you are under 13, you will be blocked. If you try to start drama, you will be blocked. If you try to creep on me or be a troll, you will be blocked. All of my pics and creations are my intellectual property, please ask BEFORE sharing. I try to give credit to those pics and ideas I share from others. Please respect me and I will respect you. 😊
