•adapt• given the current #covid_19 situation and the #socialisolation climate, now truly is the time to improvise and adapt.. one of our local cafes - @barebonessociety - has started planning towards adapting their cafe menu towards having takeaway options, and i think that is just a great example of what one can do to try to beat the odds. please stay safe, everyone! if you want to have a chat or a rant, my inbox is also always open 😊

matrescence: the developmental phase of new motherhood is like adolescence — a transition when hormones surge, bodies change, and identity and relationships shift. it’s a rather intriguing word i discovered recently that makes sense of the foggy period i went through with my firstborn just over 3 years ago - adjusting to my new responsibilities while juggling the practicalities of still being a wife and suddenly a mother 🤯 new mums have it really hard. . . if you know a new mum going through matrescence, a really practical way to support them through it is by going through the effort to find the new normal in your friendship with them. things are never going to be the same again, and the easy option is to drop out of the friendship because the dynamic has changed and things are too hard - but honestly, friendships that survive matrescence can survive nearly anything. the effort is worth it👯‍♀️
