    Happy Monday! What should I do at my hair appointment on Friday? Planning on cutting and coloring and I’m vlogging that day!

      You should cut it up to your shoulders and go darker lol

      I’ve done that before (two christmases ago I think!) but I don’t think the darker suits me. It is very tempting to do the mom chop though

    Something I have been meditating on is engagement versus achievement. It’s been a powerful antidote to anxiety and the pressure we put on ourselves to produce tangible “results” in our everyday lives as proof of our value as people. A great question to ask is, “am I fully engaged in what I’m doing?” whether it’s snuggling with your baby, cooking, watching a show, or getting work done, you’ll find that engagement is the key to a better relationship with the day and with yourself. Through engagement, you feel YOURSELF through your activities, and it becomes less about what you are doing, but who you are doing it. It rewires the brain to associate taking action with a positive and attractive quality (versus the negative procrastinatory relationship with “doing”).
    I thought it was relevant to this beautiful video you posted and thought you would appreciate it! You are doing AMAZING mama!!!

    Thank you for being so honest! I became a mum 3 weeks ago and it's been so hard some days! Partly because I'm anemic after blood loss at the delivery and I'm soo tired! Love watching others in a similar situation and now I'm feeling more normal haha ☺️ xxxx

    • @MeganAcuna

    Seriously this was my day on Saturday! I literally spent the day in baby boys nursery rocking him, maybe had 1 hour all day without him on me and literally didn't get to poop until almost 10 that night. Thank you for being real! It is nice to know you're not alone.

    Lol, the “I feel like I’m gonna poop my pants” is so relatable. I get stuck having to pee/poo when I breastfeed way too often 😂 On tough days, I try to remind myself to let go of what I expected the day to be, accept what it is, and love what it is. Has helped my parenting!

    Oh my goodness it was so cool to be able to see how you take photos with a self timer. I'm not sure if its available on all cameras but i have an app for my Canon Rebel DSLR. Basically i can see what my camera sees and use my phone as a remote to take the photo....instead of the self timer. :) Love your content. and yes i can understand how difficult it can be to be an influencer and a mom. I'm not a mom but i have played around with editing videos and its HARD. Haven't had the guts to make any of my videos public yet. lol
