Dream Birth Plan

Last night, I wrote out my whole dream birth plan with Finley (an exercise encouraged by my midwives) & I wanted to share it here too because it makes me happy to envision. I feel like home birth is so lovely because you can just get comfortable in your space the best way you know how to rather than creating space somewhere else (although that is valid too 💛).

Ideally: My water breaks in the night or I have mucus plug loss or bloody show, but despite the indicator I am able to g...

Maternity Shoot Noodz

The bodies that brought us you 🩶 I figured patreon is a good place to ~test run~ some nudies before gearing up to post some on the gram! So here you go! I’ve never had any kind of professional nude photographs taken, but I felt very safe & comfortable taking them with my friend Emma & she was very chill about it. That’s all you can really ask for!

I told her ahead of time I wanted to take some tasteful nudes to capture the essence of my body during this time & honor m...

Mom in town/38 weeks!

Hello legends! My mom gets into town today to mark that I'm officially 38 weeks pregnant! I'm very excited! I had a midwife appointment this morning & baby is sounding great, measuring well & moving around lots in there still. The bedroom is completely ready for her arrival minus me wanting my mom to paint the antique bassinet she gave us. It's been in my family for like 100 years & we tested it for lead paint & it came back negative thank GOURD, but it's an off white/cream co...

Unseen Pics 💛

Life lately! Still waiting to share the bedroom renovation footage with everyone other than you guys because Finley decided to tack the closet footage onto the end of the video 😂 You can see some closet progress pics here! I also unboxed all our baby gifts FINALLY which I showed in a big nesting vlog that will go up this week 🤞 I came home from my midwife appointment to flowers on my bedside table from Fin 💐 CUTE! The dogs have been so sweet & Ducky is thriving! Then I included a...

Bed Rest Behavior

HELLO LEGENDS! Happy 37 weeks of pregnancy to meeee! We had a home visit from our midwives on Friday & they delivered my birth tub as well as went over all the early labor signs & what to do if the baby comes fast (rare for first time babies) & they're not here yet. Finley got the whole delivery 411 & we discussed when is best to call them to come over, etc. They prescribed me 10 minutes of massage from Finley daily (slay) & to take it friggin' easy! My feet are feeling re...

Maternity Shoot BTS

I shot with my friend Emma today to document The Bump & we did so many fun looks & locations! These are just random iPhone pics, but I simply cannot wait for you besties to see the final shots! She was such a sweetie & drove all the way to VT from NYC with her dad for a weekend trip to shoot with me 🥹 An honor! She is @emmacheshire on IG if you want to see the pics as soon as they go up 🫶 We shot basically for 5 hours straight 😂 I am egg-zausted but so pleased!! Woo!

36 Weeks & Content Question <3

Hello besties! I’ll be 36 weeks along in my pregnancy tomorrow (ahhh) & I feel like this is prime nesting time brothers! Meal prep! Baby laundry! Sorting! Organizing! It’s so funny because all the moms I see online who talk about nesting always say that your brain really convinces you that you need to do the most random tasks to prep for baby & that’s absolutely me right now 😂

I’m like “Ok we need to glue the fabric back down on these dining chairs before she comes�...

Howdy ho new patrons <3 & content updates

Updating you on work/what you'll see in the coming weeks, pregnancy pains & life! LOVE YA

GUTENTAG AND GOOD MORNING

Happy Monday folks! Today, Roo woke us up early today by very promptly throwing up down the side of our bed directly into Finley's packed suitcase from our baby shower trip... Love that for us! We are doing all the laundry now & she seems totally fine, but it was a real shock to the system! Oh Roo! On a happier note, I submitted a vlog to a brand this morning for review & approval HOPEFULLY today, but to be honest besties sometimes companies take their sweet time. I'm hoping for a swi...

Checking in after Peach's passing <3

Hi my cuties! Thank you for your condolences to those who heard via IG about our sweet pig Peach passing away. My last post on here was an update on her health asking for prayers, but things just went pretty rapidly downhill after that & she passed on the evening of 4/2 peacefully in Finley's arms. As far as death goes, she went the best way she could've naturally on our farm & we are happy she is free from her pain now although we miss her dearly.

We were so busy with her the ...

Prayers for Peach

Hello my patreon peeps! WHAT A WEEK! In good news, we are FINALLY in our renovated bedroom & I actually filmed a lil patreon exclusive reveal video for you/clean with me of the space before we moved in. I'm very excited for you to see it before anyone else! I'm still MAYBE 60% done editing the actual renovation footage for YT cuz Finley got like 18+ hours of footage so... I'm happy that y'all will get to bask in the glory of the room with us before that goes up!

In sad news, our pig...

Unseen Pics from Bday & Bedroom

Hello my patreon peeps! I wanted to share some really gorgeous pics of Mr. Larry being handsome & funny! There’s also a pic in here from my facial/massage day that Finley gifted me for my birthday (iconic), mushrooms I found while filming the tour of our land, snow crystals, my favorite birthday fit, findings from our hike that day, caprese salad I’ve been obsessed with food prepping that I’ll definitely prep post-partum, my everyday OOTD at this point in my pregnancy (robe), my rec...

Falling victim to perfectionism

Hello folks! Today I wanted to talk about perfectionism specifically as it pertains to our home renovation. I'm SO excited for you guys to see the bedroom transformation video, but this morning while editing I'm just struck by how utterly consumed Finley is by perfectionism especially when it came to refinishing the original wood floors. Honestly, you all will probably be the only ones to see the extent of the footage he filmed just about the floors. It was driving him mad! It took probably 2...

Unseen Pics

Lots of resting, cuddling & renovating lately!! I also got my baby shower dress & honey she’s perfect! Minus the socks 😂

I'm Just Writin! I'm Just Ravin!

Hello folks! Sorry for the ~delay~ in posting on here! I've been a busy writing bee. Weeks ago, I wrote a post about wanting to write a... Book? Short stories? Essays? Not sure! But I'm about 20 pages down in whatever it is. I work on it most days, but have realized my absolute inability to focus on multiple tasks at once... Lol. I'm sure many of you can relate! But because I've been focusing on this much more, I'm like SEE YA to any other tasks-- Even the ones I wrote about in my last post t...

The Overwhelming Urge to Finish

Hello folks! Today, I want to write about the urge to finish. I don't know if it's the nesting hormones, but lately I have had so many unfinished projects work their way into my psyche. I'm definitely a person who likes to think that they can do it all, so this past week I started chipping away at some of them. Why not? I thought! It's not like I'm growing a baby & actively renovating a house! What's a couple more tasks? :P

Remember back in 2021 when Fin & I were going to launch...

Secret Vlog, Patron-Only Baby Updates & Parent Poll

Hello my little petunias! The secret vlog I filmed recently is gonna go up later today & I'm excited! I included lots of baby updates in it & had a revelation that I just simply feel ~more comfortable~ sharing stuff about preparing for our child on here because you besties are just less judgmental than the YouTube masses! Lol. Not that I don't love posting on YT still, but it's just a fact! My patrons are much less likely to say something insane in my comment section than some old man...

Vlogging just for you + End of Feb updates

Stream of consciousness check in/voicemail for you today besties

Patreon-Specific Vid Ideas <3

Hello my little sugar plums! I wanted to check in on here & ask for any patreon-specific video ideas you have? Comment them down below! I feel like secret vlogs should make a fun comeback since I'm not able to do smoke sesh vids at the moment because I'm pregnant as hell. I also have been thinking about sharing an updated vinyl collection on here if that would be something you guys would be interested in? My last one was filmed in 2019!!! So long ago! My taste has changed a bit, I've dona...

Off IG & Thriving

So the ole ball & chain (Instagram) had to be cut loose this week because I simply have too addictive of behavior with it. Finley & I talk about this a lot, but unfortunately IG just feels very insidious to me. I go on with the intention of sharing & lose track of why I went on within like 20 seconds! I get wrapped up watching stories or scrolling & it’s terrible. I don’t even use it for reels! I just simply can’t be trusted with it! So I’m off IG for now & sharing...

Writing a book idk & other updates lol

Hello my little cupcakes <3 I'm 25 weeks pregnant today! Slay! I've been feeling good other than the occasional headache, so that's nice! I've been spending most of my time deep in nesting mode & so has Finley. We are FINALLY in the painting stages of our bedroom renovation, so the next steps are to paint, add trim to walls & floors, decorate & move our shit in! WE CAN'T WAIT! We are on track to finish by the end of the month if all goes as planned.

In other news, I start...

Unseen Pics 💛

Some outtakes from my bump pic photoshoot I had alone the other day, doggy hibernation pics (it’s finally warming up here! thank god for them), more bumpdates, gorgeous pics of my bathroom I cleaned & organized in my new video, peep the pigs relaxing through the window, found my co-op’s herbal stock 😍, my current craving (apples, almond butter, granola, cinnamon sugar & chocolate covered raisins) & baby size update! I’ll be 25 weeks on Tuesday 🤰 I had a midwife appoint...

Love Month <3

Hi besties! In honor of this month of love, I've been thinking a lot about self love practices to incorporate into my day to day routine. They can be as little as loving myself enough to not go on IG when I first wake up (lol) & to just slow down & sip my morning coffee with a book instead. I also have been trying to get back more to a state of self-reflection other than self-numbing. That sounds dramatic, but I mean numbing in the sense of using social media, substance (not that I'm ...

23 Weeks & Feeling SILLAYYY

Updating you on life in the ole VT winter weather my brethren!

The Power of Care

Hi friends <3 It's a bit later in the day when I'm posting this one, but I've just been ~reflecting~ on this year so far & thinking a lot about the power of care. Self care, caring for others, giving a care, etc! This year & the end of last were already filled with some pretty tough news for us. We lost a friend to cancer right before Christmas & had a family member get diagnosed in the New Year. Is this what getting older is like? We currently know 4 loved ones battling their ...

Updated Ultrasound Pics

Look at our little stink go! Go stink (fuck it up) go stink (fuck it up) 🎶 She showed off her little feetsies & even said “HE WAS NUMBER ONE!!!” My mom told me last night she’s started bragging about her “large brain” & telling everyone she’s “wicked smaht!” 😂 Our anatomy scan went great aside from her flipping around in there to try & get away from the ultrasound machine— We still got the pics honey! My doctor said all is “beautifully well” so that mak...

Back to it!

Hello my patreon peeps <3 Now that I'm back in VT & adjusting to my routine again, I'm trying to return to my posting days/schedule on here for Monday writing posts, Wed/Thurs photo/audio posts & (PLEASE DEAR GOD MEGHAN BRING THEM BACK) monthly uploads! I have almost all of an hour or so long vlog filmed for my first YT video of the year, but it has a sponsor (was supposed to be a vlogmas sponsor but damn a binch was busy) so I have to wait for them to approve everything before it ...

Finally HOME!

After 19 days away, we finally got home to VT today! I’m taking a lil break from IG at the moment, so I’m gonna share all our updates here. I hope you guys had a happy, healthy & safe holiday season! We certainly did :) We left GA on Monday & got to VA that same night just planning to stop there to break up our road trip, but then Finley’s uncle George asked us to come see his wood shop/property on Tuesday so we did that too. It was so cute to see him & Fin bonding over powe...

Our Virtual Holiday Card

Happy Holidays to you & yours! Since I only had a few extras to send out to patrons, I wanted to upload our 2023 holiday card for the rest of you! Our last holiday season just us two humans 🥰 The dogs & hogs are elated to have a new sister on the way! Larry is hoping she doesn’t smell as bad as Roo, but he loves kids since he used to nanny with me, so he is very excited! Wishing you all a cozy & safe holiday season spent with those you love most. Thank you for another amazing...

4 Extra Holiday Cards (All claimed) <3

Hi patreon peeps! I have 4 extra holiday cards this year, so if you privately message me your mailing address on here I'll send them to the first 4 people who send em :) I'll upload the virtual card on here either way for you guys too to see, but the physical ones are always fun. I love you & I hope you're all enjoying vlogmas & the holiday season so far! Is it still finals time? Or are they over? I hope you slay them either way if you're taking em & also have a wonderful week! Ee...
