A snowy cabin hidden in the woods sounds great, doesn’t it? I’m currently living in a never-ending daycare sickness hell, wondering if this year is worse than last. But it’s boosting her immunity, right? ! Somehow, this is no longer comforting. We have a 5th disease so far this year and I think(?)…becoming untraceable. If this is you too, I don’t know what else to say other than I’m sorry. I promise I’m not going to tell you that your kid just needs to “eat healthier and start seeing a chiropractor”. Yep, that’s a real message I got from someone on Instagram.
Which got me thinking about my next thing, which is officially December and my last month on Instagram. I get a lot of messages asking if I really want to leave the app and the answer is yes. I have a great guy who will manage my account for me, but I personally don’t plan on using the app after this month. I’m nervous/excited/curious about how this will affect my day-to-day life. However, I will be launching my online community next week, There are currently some tests being done within the platform to address any issues. I hope you join, whether or not you want to leave Insta I think it will be a great place to connect with other like-minded people, online and IRL. My newsletter subscribers will get priority access (free for the first few months). Sign up here.
I wish you a nice weekend. Here are the best of the week…
