How Much Yelling is Too Much?

November 20, 2019 by erikarachelleanderson in Parenting

Moms. Dads. Caregivers. We all yell. And if we are at all aware of emotion and its power, we all have felt guilty about it. Monthly. Weekly. Me: daily. I’ve

Can you self-care with kids? Absolutely! Sometimes

Can you self-care with kids? Absolutely! Sometimes it’s as simple as a change of routine. In this case a ten dollar specimen of technology that allows all of them to not use their tired little legs at the dog park, eliminating 1 hour of solid complaining. Until they go over a (small) cliff. Which arguably is also self-care from the laughter-induced serotonin release. #thankfilledlife #selfcaresistersociety #momsmentalhealth #getoutsideandplay #motherhoodunplugged #motherhoodunfiltered #momsofig #girlmom #girlmomlife

There is an narrative in church culture about ‘hard times’ and ‘suffering’, like it’s normal for every day to be a battle. Even before Covid. I find it irritating. And false. Because we are gifted joy and peace, even when life is a tough go. Like how a birthmark stays on flaky, dry skin. So if we find ourselves lacking joy and peace, maybe we really aren’t trusting. #thankfilledlife #readthebible #chasingtruth #cultureandjesus #christianmentalhealth #churchandmentalhealth #hope

Totally hygge. I think the Danes are on to something, especially as we hit winter and another spike of The-Virus-That-Shall-Not-Be-Named. Enjoy where you are. Have long, slow meals. Make the recipe together. Light a candle. Make your place cozy. Have a hot drink. Use Togetherness as your indicator of success. Let’s do this, Covid Winter! #thankfilledlife #hyggelife #hygger #hyggelig

This is the government. They make great decisions, like allowing penguins in town. Council carries on without Ken - he was victim of a Bruce attack. Also, they are all sisters. How do your kids play Barbies? 🤣🤣🤩 #thankfilledlife @travisjohnanderson

Fresh Mullet. (Chocolate milk) moustache. Scar under the eye (from a hula hoop).

When @pinkdoorsunday lives next door, you can’t help but getting hooked on thrifting too! This painting is stunning!! You never know who your neighbors are until you say hi. And maybe invite them on a hike. 🤍🤍🤍 #thankfilledlife #lovethyneighbor #neighborlove #neighborsandfriends #neighborhoodandcoffee

Some new friends have joined lately, so I thought I would (Re)introduce myself: 1) I love love love being in the mountains. There’s nothing else like that fresh smell. 2) I like the sound of rain best when I’m in a tent or in a car. Driving in the rain is 👌🏻. 3) We have chickens in our backyard. Their names are Turnip, Rapunzel, and Rosie. Watching them is relaxing like watching a fire. 4) I eat ice cream every night, but am trying really hard not to. 5) I currently take a little pill every morning to even out my brain chemicals. And I’m okay with that. 6) Being a girl mom is just the most fun because they do dresses, crafts, skateboarding and Lego. Tell me about you! 😊💕 #thankfilledlife

There are So. Many. Opinions. Oil and water opinions, one after the other, all the way through my scroll. #thesocialdilemma on #netflix and #election2020 have highlighted our polarization.

Stress squeezes out what is actually inside. During good circumstances we can hide our bad sides, or even not be cognizant of them. 2020 has been revealing all the priorities and attitudes that don’t actually serve us. I’ve got a bunch of ugly to cull. Because I’d rather squeeze out beautiful than destruction. #thankfilledlife #womenoftheword #readthebible #chasingtruth #cultureandjesus #jesus #stressstyle #stress #2020vision #2020goals

Our greedy chickens ate the garden. A kind soul who didn’t know that brought us tomatoes yesterday. That’s what community is I think.
