My family ✨️🤍

to understand the importance of this photo, you would to have known us for the past seven years.

this is my family, not by blood but by love.

my husband and his ex-wife talking to their son and their daughter (via phone).

who am I? im the calm. im the peace. im the unwavering support for not only my husband and his children but also for their mom. im not a traditional mom in this picture. in this picture, I am the support. im the support for a mother and father waiting for answers. I am the support when mom and dad need a quick break. I am chele. I was the chosen by my husband to love not only him but his children unconditionally. I was accepted by mom to be the mom when she cant be there. I am trusted by two parents to care for their most precious things in life.

EVERY situation is different. I understand the difficulties that come with mom, step mom, wife and ex-wife. I am both a wife and ex-wife, I am both mom and step mom. our situation wasn't much different, it was hard, toxic, and just exhausting, but today, its beautiful. love your husbands ex-wife. respect her. give her time and grace. it'll never be perfect, and it doesnt have to be. allow her to learn who you are, allow her to see you and the love you have for her greatest treasures in life. and if she never does accept you, never stop loving the children you help raise. never give up. if you cannot love your "step children" as your own, if you cannot respect their mother, you have NO business with a man who has children. whether you choose to believe it not, that woman is his family, your family.

Four Family Dollar body mist dupes (Cherry Rebel, Flower Bar, Vanilla Rouge, Brazilian Dreams) are displayed, priced at $3.40. Smaller bottles representing their inspired fragrances (a cherry, a floral, an amber, and a vanilla/pistachio scent) are shown above them.

A hand holds a 'SCENTFULL CHERRY REBEL' body mist. Two other perfume bottles, including a cherry-scented one, are in the background. Text highlights 'Cherry Rebel' as a heavy, leathery, smokey, unisex cherry scent.

A hand holds $41 in cash inside a car, with text "FEED MY FAMILY FOR A WEEK FOR $40," illustrating a budget challenge for a family of three.

A grocery store receipt shows a total of $40.70 spent on various budget-friendly items like canned goods, frozen meat, and pantry staples for a week's meals.

An overhead view displays groceries purchased, including frozen chicken, canned vegetables, bread, tuna, sausage, and snack packs, laid out on a kitchen stovetop.

Feed my family of 3 For a Week For $40

Full disclosure my daughter gets free lunch at school. I also spent $40.70 I had to find the extra change I read a price wrong 😑 I have 6 dinners planned and 4 lunches but the ability to repeat lunches. I’ll post recipes as I make them. #lemon8diary #budgeting #budgetcooking #eat #

A finished family handprint craft in a gold-framed glass panel, featuring layered handprints in white, orange, and green, adorned with various pressed orange and green flowers, and the year '2024'.

An empty gold-framed glass panel, the starting point for a craft project, rests on a plastic-covered surface with craft supplies like paint bottles visible nearby.

A close-up of the glass frame shows multiple handprints in white, green, and orange paint, with instructions to apply paint with foam brushes, let layers dry, and write the date '2024'.

Family handprint craft 🌸✨

Swipe for a step-by-step on this adorable craft for the whole family! If handprint sizes are similar, stagger them a bit when you place them down! Pro tip: use a hairdryer on the cool setting to speed up the process in between handprints and get the quick dry/ dries clear craft glue 👏🏼 Crazy

A bride and an older woman, presumably her mother, stand face-to-face holding a bouquet. Emojis obscure their faces, with a broken heart over the mother, symbolizing a toxic relationship despite the wedding setting.

Text overlays a sunset cityscape, detailing the author's difficult childhood with an unloving mother who never appreciated her efforts or expressed affection.

A woman takes a mirror selfie in a white dress, alongside text describing her leaving home at 18 for freedom and moving abroad at 20, but still facing conflict from her mother.
