Being a mama ๐Ÿ’“

Hello everyone๐Ÿ’• , my name is Mia , Iโ€™m 24 years old with a one year old boy ๐Ÿฉต. My son will be 2 in a couple of months ๐Ÿฅบ๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿฝ. Just wanna say youโ€™re never really gonna be ready to be a mama, sometimes it just happens unexpectedly, but it is the absolute best and most amazing experienceโค๏ธ, Iโ€™ve always wanted a boy first and god has answered my prayers. I am sooo blessed to even be able to be a mama๐Ÿฉท. I thought for awhile I couldnโ€™t have any kids after trying with my man, once we stopped thinking too much about it, it happened ๐Ÿฅฐ. Sad to say they all grow up and become their own person in this big crazy world๐Ÿฅบ. Heโ€™s getting so big and his growth is amazing ๐Ÿฉต! I just love watching him learn new things and saying new words! I am definitely not ready for the potty training phase ๐Ÿ˜‚ but Iโ€™ll be proud of myself for getting through it ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿฝ. Postpartum anxiety hit me worse than depression, Iโ€™ve had it ever since my son turned 1.. I canโ€™t do much and I still push myself to go outside til this day, itโ€™s been the worst experience of my life and Iโ€™m scared to even have my second child (which I would love a girl next).. but one day itโ€™ll get better๐Ÿ’• taking everything day by day and hope I can get my self care life back, because Iโ€™ve been slacking and also the picture of me is when I was a good 2 months pp ๐Ÿฅฐ! I miss the old me sooo muchhhh!! But learning to love the new me, I really just need my self care backโค๏ธ. My son will always have my heart, he is my best friend and ofc my twin๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿฝ this wasnโ€™t supposed to be so long but I think Iโ€™ll definitely be venting a lot on here, and maybe make this my safe space to say how I feel and how life is going๐Ÿ˜Š, Iโ€™m really not a social media person anymore but Iโ€™ll be popping up here and there when I canโค๏ธ if anybody do see this, thank you for listening to my mama talk ๐Ÿฅฒ!

... Read moreMotherhood is a transformative journey that comes with both joy and challenges. For many first-time mothers, like Mia, the experience brings unexpected surprises and emotional hurdles. As a new mom, the pressure to feel fully prepared can weigh heavily. Itโ€™s essential to acknowledge that no one is ever completely ready for this life shift; feeling a mix of excitement and anxiety is common. The transition to motherhood often involves navigating postpartum emotions. While postpartum depression is on the minds of many, postpartum anxiety can also be a significant struggle that affects daily life. Awareness and communication about these feelings can help. Finding support systemsโ€”whether itโ€™s friends, family, or online communitiesโ€”can provide the reassurance and connection that many new moms crave. Additionally, creating a personal care routine and finding moments for self-love are crucial for mental well-being. Remember, itโ€™s okay to take things day by day. Embracing the chaos, cherishing the little victories, and learning to love your new self can important steps in this journey. Moreover, as children grow rapidly, they bring unique developmental milestones that can be a source of pride and joy for a mom. From first words to bladder training, every experience is a memory in the making. So for all the new mamas out thereโ€”your feelings are valid, your challenges are shared, and your journey is unique and beautiful! ๐Ÿ’–

A shelf with baskets of colorful yarn serves as the background for text where the user asks for help, stating their pricing for a cardigan was called ridiculous, but they believe their calculation is reasonable.
Against a rustic background of yarn baskets, text outlines the user's pricing formula: 'Number of skeins x cost of skeins + hours worked' to determine item costs.
A display of yarn balls frames text detailing the calculation for an 'Alpaca sunset' cardigan: 2 skeins at $36 each ($72x2) plus 50 hours worked, with a note about rounding up to $40/skein.
Am I being ridiculous for pricing?
I recently got told that my pricing is ridiculous. Im absolutely flabbergasted because this calculation took alot of time and effort to try and keep my pricing reasonable. I tried figuring out how others made up their pricing and just couldn't ever justify how much others were charging. I f
