Whether you are single, married, or in a committed relationship, let's all plan time to celebrate love with our girls! 💗
Galentine's Day reminds us that true love comes in many forms, and the bond between girlfriends is just as precious as any romance!
Things To Do:
💝 Make prayer / vision boards:
Love Day is in the middle of February, even though it is common to have your boards ready before Jan 1st. Valentine's Day is the perfect time to make one as well. You’ve have had a good amount of time in the new year to think and reflect, and you are around LOVE! With your girl gang, you’ll be able to have meaningful and prosperous conversations about the future!
💝 Make treats table / do a “bring a board” theme:
There's are endless options to create a memorable fun time! You can have each girlfriend bring a specific treat board (ex. All Things Chocolate, Sweet and Salty, Sour & Sweet, Marshmallow Mayhem) Make it fun and cute. You can also bake together! Decorate some delicious cookies over wine and girl talk!
💝 Go To Brunch or Dinner!
Get dressed up girl! Practice some self care and have a date with your girls! It is not only for couples, relax and debrief with the ladies! Laugh and make memories!
💝 Play Games!
Crack open your favorite drinking game cards, play Twister, Uno and serades! We are grown but that doesn't mean we can't have fun all while saving money!
💝 Have A Spa Day!
If you don't mind splurging, call up the girls and plan a spa date! Get a massage or Mani-pedi! Love on yourself!
💝 Ultimate Slumber Party:
We already gave you some fun activities to do, so why not get some decorations (Family Dollar has plenty! ) and get matching or color coordinated PJs and make memories! We recommend doing some cute photoshoots as well. Dance, laugh, cry, and get drunk! Whatever your girl gang vibe is make sure your having a blast 😝
‼️ Bottomline, life is too short to be sad on a day about love! Enjoy yourself with the ones you love and make memories. Use the day as a reminder to cherish life! ✨
With more reading, I’m learning that I have a gifted child.
Whoa. What a responsibility. I had no clue he was “gifted”. I just figured he wanted to know what’s relevant to him at this stage and the most upcoming.
Maybe it’s me pushing him. ..no, it can’t be.
If Cato didn’t want to learn ASL, he wouldn’t have. If he didn’t want to know his colors and shapes, he wouldn’t have. If Casimir Dominous didn’t want to ditch the diaper, he wouldn’t have.
Idk. This is a lot to take in! My micropreemie at 2lbs 2oz, 3 months early, with my Ehler’s Danlos Syndrome impacting his umbilical cord and rotting his placenta, determined to come out at 3:33p/c..
..is “gifted”???
Y’know, some parts of this journey haven’t been totally by surprise. Like him coming early. Having EDS and losing many pregnancies, I knew there was a high chance for complications. I was on bed rest for two and a half months. I kept having visions of and inklings to do research on preemies and how early they can be delivered. My Son was delivered four weeks older than the youngest baby to be birthed. I consumed turkey tail and lion’s mane mushroom pills when pregnant with him. I took two every other day, once a day. I was just trying to supplement what my EDS could possibly damage/ warp. Dominous’s Curriculum has been planned out long before I knew he’d be in my womb.
So I guess I shouldn’t be surprised. What’s next? He’s got a great anointing and favor over his life, too?! 😂
Well, bring it on, Lord! My heart is shaking because I don’t want to share my precious little Meepy with the world but.. ..if these are the facts like I’ve witnessed them to be, then I ain’t got time to be nervous or leery. You trusted me with this boy for a reason and I am at Your service, Father God.
Like, my Son communicates like a 3yr old that’s on target, developmentally. Most children don’t want to use the potty on their own, I’m realizing, until after 2 years old! That’s outrageous, to me.. ..I potty trained myself by that age. And ridiculous. I didn’t go to daycare until I could speak, which was a safe and smart decision on part of my Parents. My guy can really comprehend and execute two- and three-part instructions. That is mindblowing!!! ..now that I think about it…
His being “gifted” seems “normal” to me. As if it’s what I anticipated, inside of myself somewhere. We even astral project into each other’s dreams cognizantly. Whhhhiiiilllld!
It.. ..happened last night, again, actually.
But we’ve been doing that since the womb, always accurately communicating telepathically. I miss that. I always miss that. Feeling your fetus smell through your nose, taste with your tongue, hear with your ears.. ..see with y o u r eyes. It’s a trippy ass feeling, for sure! But when you get used to it, it’s very saddening to have to detach from.
I miss being one person with my Son.
Thinking about today: Daddy and I were in the kitchen while Cato was upstairs. He got so pissed!
Meep said: C’mon man! Y’all go’n stop leaving me up here!
Then he started spitting like he was cussin us out 😭😭😭😭🤣
Well-audible sentences, too! 🤣
I set up a play area for him but he’s not that interested yet. So instead I ordered his play tent and his urinal, cause I’m raising an 11 Month Old - 8 Months Adjusted - grown man.
Secretly, he’s very disappointed I didn’t get his wooden work bench. My Virgo Moon is ready to work, honey! I can see him now: som’n piss him off and he go’n go pretend to saw some wood to build him a tree house so he doesn’t have to “live under my roof”. 😂
I just love him! I’m blessed. My Son is a ginormous gift I’m still processing; because, well, I didn’t get the entire 9 Months gestation with him. Tbch, I was glad everything happened the way it had, bc I was over being pregnant by the sixth month. I wasn’t pressed for him to be a preemie, I was just anxious to interact with my flower.
This guy used to tickle me, on purpose, from inside my body! And would just be so happy to feel me giggling. 🤭 I was trying to go to sleep and he just tickled and tickled until I was in uproarious laughter!
Last week, he tickled me several times in our sleep. 🤣 (I just snorted, trying not to laugh.) Cause he tickled my tummy thrice, then tickled my arm, neck, and ear.
..I am crying laughing rn.
But that wasn’t the only night. He did it three nights in a row! 😭😭😭😭 I love having such a fun, hard working man for a Son. His character and constitution are protruding, and I really love the kind of man he is. My Son is the kind of guy who doesn’t need anyone or anything but the people he loves and the tools he needs to be his most successful Self. He’s whole. He’s complete. He’s resilient. He has good strong character. He’s noble and wise.
Yes. I can tell all of this at 11 Months!
Like, thank You Lord, my favor and anointing hasn’t run out with You!
