Anyone else have a picky eater? We have been working on incorporating the love, like, learn method with the boys to try and broaden their palates. This is an example dinner we made broken down for them. We added pasta which they love, chicken which they like, and kale which they are learning.

What methods have been successful for getting your kiddos to eat and try new foods? I’d love to know!

Since I’ve had an influx of followers coming over from TikTok, I wanted to say hello and give a quick introduction! 🙋🏼‍♀️

I’m Jess! A mother of 3 boys, lover of wine & whiskey, I drop the f bomb quite frequently, I have a redbull & taco addiction, and I like to let the universe guide my way through life. 🌙

I like to post about my boys, life, mental health, travel, and all things that keep me wild! 🌵

If you came over from TikTok drop a comment below so I can find you and learn a little about you too! 🖤

Being a mom of 3 growing boys can be costly on our food budget. #Ad Thankfully, Malt-O-Meal® cereals are a great way to save some money by buying in bulk without having to sacrifice taste and quality by doing so!

I mean, have you ever met a child that didn’t love to eat cereal? Probably not! Malt-O-Meal® cereals can be found @frysfoodstores (aka @Krogerco) and are mom friendly priced and kid friendly taste approved! 🥣

Do you have a village? I don’t.

I see these moms with an amazing village and I envy their support system because I don’t have that outside of my husband.

No village means no one calls and asks if you need anything at Target. No one cooks you dinner on a random weeknight. You don’t have a network of helping hands and open arms.

It can be lonely out here in no-village-land. You’re always hunting for real friends. True connections and support but it’s you and your spouse and your kids, population 3 or 4 or 5.

I like our self-sufficiency (though that could be part of my trauma 😬). I like that I don’t have to deal with family questioning our decisions. But we are alone.

This is what it means to live without a village.

From 2 different school schedules, music lessons, running two full time businesses, and a puppy; last minute madness is kind of our thing! I love creating after school charcuterie snack boards that I can make on the fly with fresh meats, snacks, & produce from @FrysFoodStores when we’re going to be eating dinner late (the Fry's app is a lifesaver for planning my grocery trips ahead of time!). As a special treat, I picked up a Home Chef meal kit filled with fresh meat options for an easy date night dinner for two. Check out my stories for some easy date night inspo and to get a closer look at how I shop at Fry’s for the best deals and freshness! #FrysPartner #LoveMyFrys #FreshForEveryone

The inability to receive support from others is a

The inability to receive support from others is a trauma response.

Your “I don’t need anyone, I’ll just do it myself” conditioning is a survival tactic. You needed it to shield your heart from abuse, neglect, betrayal, and disappointment from those who could not or would not be there for you.

From the parent who was absent and abandoned you by choice or the parent who was never home from working three jobs to feed and house you.

From the lovers who offered sexual intimacy but never offered a safe haven that honored your heart.

From the friendships and family who ALWAYS took more than they ever gave.

From all the situations when someone told you “we’re in this together” or “I got you” then abandoned you, leaving you to pick up the pieces when shit got real.

You learned along the way that you just couldn’t really trust people. Or that you could trust people, but only up to a certain point.

Extreme-independence IS. A. TRUST. ISSUE.

You learned if I don’t put myself in a situation where I rely on someone, I won’t have to be disappointed when they don’t show up for me, or when they drop the ball... because they will ALWAYS drop the ball EVENTUALLY right?

You may even have been intentionally taught this protection strategy by generations of hurt ancestors who came before you.

Extreme-independence is a preemptive strike against heartbreak.

So, you don’t trust anyone and you don’t trust yourself, either, to choose people.

To trust is to hope, to trust is to be vulnerable.

“Never again,” you vow.

But no matter how you dress it up and display it proudly to make it seem like this level of independence is what you always wanted to be, in truth it’s your wounded, scarred, broken heart behind a protective brick wall.

Impenetrable. Nothing gets in. No hurt gets in. But no love gets in either.

Fortresses and armor are for those in battle, or who believe the battle is coming.

It’s a trauma response.
