Consciously uncoupled from life as we knew it 😭⁣ 🦠🦠🦠⁣ This photo is from my archives. Please do your part by staying home.

Here we are today, three years after my mother’s sudden passing on April 1, 2017. As a mom to an infant and toddler at the time, I could never have imagined how abruptly my life would become forever fractured. Though 3 years have passed, I’ve yet to find the glue to piece together my broken heart or the magic elixir to heal the pain. And just as there is no archetypal way to grieve, there is no cheat sheet for how I might reconcile my place in this world since losing the woman who shaped me into the person I continue to become. ⁣ 💔⁣ It would be a gross understatement to say that my mother’s grandchildren were the joys of her life. But because they were babies at the time of her passing, my children now know their “Mama” only through anecdotes and photographs. And at this 3 year mark, this is perhaps the most troubling reality of all. To those of you who have lost your mothers, how have you succeeded in keeping her memory alive with your kids? ⁣ ⁣ #lifeafterloss #motheringwithoutamother #loveneverdies

Today’s homeschooling curriculum consists of Honors Laundry, AP Vaccumming, and Dishwashing 101. What is on your agenda for today? ⁣⁣ 🦠🦠🦠⁣ This photo is from my archives. Please stay home! ⁣ ⁣ ⁣⁣

Surviving another day of quarantine with outward smiles and inward screams 😆⁣ #gmtfo #notevenkidding #fcovid19

Today, let’s give a moment of silence for all the New Yorkers who agreed to live with horrible roommates because they "wouldn't be spending much time at home anyway" 😂😂😂⁣ •⁣ This photo was taken prior to Covid-19. Please do your part by staying home!

Not to brag, but we’ve been using hand soap since before it was trending. ⁣ #washyourdamnhands #poppinbubblesnotbottles #covid19

For the first time in history we can save the human race by laying on our couches, watching tv, and snacking 🤪 📺 😋⁣⁣ Let’s not screw this up, people! ⁣⁣ • ⁣ This photo is pulled from my archives. Please do your part and stay home! ⁣ •⁣ #doyourpart #socialdistancingsaveslives #covid19nyc

If there is a silver lining to be found, it’s that Coronavirus has given me a legitimate excuse to avoid all people. ⁣⁣ •⁣⁣ This photo was taken before Covid-19. Please Stay inside... and wash your hands 😷

How about a pizza joke to lighten the mood around here? Never mind, it’s just too cheesy. ⁣😆 🍕 🍕🍕⁣ #SorryNotSorry #BadJokesForDays

It’s ok, I don’t feel like peopling too much today anyways 🤷🏻‍♀️⁣ #Covid19 #SocialDistancingSavesLives

Social distancing since before it was popular 😳 #Covid19 #DontStandTooCloseToMe

On the surface: cool as a cucumber 🥒 ⁣ On the inside: squirrel 🐿 in traffic 🚗 ⁣ #coronavirus #dontpanic #inittogether

The “Big Apple,” “the city that never sleeps,’’ the “concrete jungle.” New York City is home to some of the most resilient people in the entire world. We will need to make adjustments to our daily lives to combat the existing global health crisis #Coronavirus. But I have no doubt that we, as the inhabitants of this awe-inspiring metropolis, will re-emerge stronger and with a deeper appreciation of life and enhanced compassion for others. #NYCstrong

Children are the source of our joy, the center of our worlds, and the whole of our hearts.⁣ ⁣ ❤️❤️❤️⁣ ⁣ But what if I told you that a product commonly used to soothe babies’ sensitive bottoms had been shown to be extremely toxic to their health and ours? Talc is the main ingredient in most baby powder products, and overwhelming evidence suggests a link between #talc and certain types of cancer. It’s ironic that despite our best efforts to diligently protect our children, a product so frequently used to soothe a baby’s tender skin is actually putting the child’s health at risk.⁣ ⁣ •⁣ ⁣ As moms, it’s our duty to keep our children safe and protect them from products that can contain harmful ingredients like #talc. Join me on my mission to #TossTheTalc, spread awareness, and boycott products containing talc, like #babypowder and even select dry shampoos, deodorants, and makeup. AD

Set my alarm extra early today to make sure I have enough time to lay in bed and be angry about having to wake up ⏰💤😆

Groceries? Maybe. New shoes? Absolutely. ☺️⁣ 👠👠👠⁣ There are so many things about my new @seecaas leather ballet flats that set them apart from other ballet flats on the market. Each pair of @seecaas have removable ankle straps that can be interchanged between multiple pairs. In addition to being insanely comfortable, the padded inner sole is also machine washable! And I just love the almond shaped cap-toe with sweetheart dip. Did I mention that proceeds from every pair sold help fund the Seecaas Hope for Adoption Foundation? View my stories to see some of my favorite @seecaas and use code “Lullabies15” to save $15 off your first pair. ⁣ #NeedEveryColor #CollectThemAll

Weekend plans: Netflix & avoid people 😷 ⁣ #WheresMyMask #DontTouchMe #NotEvenKidding

I say that I let my kids play unsupervised to foster independence, but it’s really because I yell a lot less when I have no idea what’s happening in there. 🤷🏻‍♀️😆👍⁣ #MomHack #CandidMotherhood #WhyIsItSoQuiet

Caution! 🚧 Cheetah spotted roaming the streets of the urban jungle 🐆🐆🐆
