Erin Napier - my favourite celebrity mom

So it’s Mother’s Day in North America. Personally it’s a total bullshit day, just the same as father’s day and Valentine’s Day. Do we really need a commercial day to celebrate mothers, father’s, caregivers and love. At the same time, I’m all about celebrating the people that feel like parents to me. I think I tell those people often, they know who they are. 

So I would like to dedicate this blog entry to what I think a good mother looks like. I’m picking a celebrity mom that I adore. 

The trophy for good parenting and a healthy loving relationship goes to Erin Napier and her husband Ben. HGTV is my favourite TV channel and Home Town is my favourite show which is hosted by Erin and Ben. One day I’m going to go visit Laurel Mississippi where the show is based and I’ll stay at The Heirloom Hotel. 

Let’s get back to Erin. Here is an interview with her and her husband Ben. I wait for a love like there’s.

Now here is the reason I think she and her friends are rockstar mothers. 

I enjoyed this episode sooo much! They talk about values that the 3 moms work to in-still in between the 8 children collectively. Erin talks about the importance of boredom in kids and how that actually fosters creativity. 

I also enjoyed the story of when the family went to visit the big apple. 

If you end up watching either, share your thoughts in the comments.

Should have declined the call

Holy fuckeroo! I wanted to end the month of May with other blog worthy topic but I had a call a few hours ago that I need to write about.  From the last entry you’ll see that my dad was in the A&E with a UTI. Then the following week my sister was rushed to the A&E with a pseudo brain tumor. She had gone for a routine eye test and they saw something. Fast forward blood tests, CT scans, MRI, lumbar puncture, neurological doctors and more optometrists. She will survive! (she has Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension) She can’t change her gender (let’s not go there), or her age, but she can change her weight and get to a healthy BMI. I have thoughts on that too but she is choosing to take meds with side effects while working on her weight.  Her body, her life, her decisions. She’s been trying to help my dad pack. He moves out of his house of 30 years. I’ve declined flying across the pond. My bro who is 5 hours away has also opted no. So my sister and my father’s ex wif...

Oh no… this isn’t great but maybe it is.

​ Oh no people! I had other things I wanted to talk about today but this entry has been trumped by recent events. My sister called my mom over to her place and asked my mom to drive her to the ER of the local psych hospital. This is good, this is also sad.  Sad for so so many reason. (PS. Please skip this entry if it’s too triggering) I apologise now for going off tangent.  Over a decade ago in the UK I had a male friend who was not doing well at all. He was in a UK psych ward. When the staff were looking he managed to take his own life.  As per the hospital where my sister is at. We once had a family friend whose adult son was not doing well. He was going to the psych hospital daily for treatment but really needed to be an inpatient. They didn’t have the space to keep him in. Sadly one evening at home, he took his life.  I have strong feelings about the Hospital where my sister is at. Where to start…. My first job at 16 was at McDonalds. I worked a lot despite being...

My nervous system and an hour later

​ Well hay there, where have you been? So I’ve just journaled, this will be my new thing. Do you know for the last 15 years people have been telling me to do this. Even when I’ve seen mediums, it’s one of the things they have said.  Anyhow, I’m writing this from my second home. To be honest it feels like my primary residence, but it’s not. It’s a flat that belongs to a mate who lets me stay when he is away. He is away a lot. I’ve actually lost count now of how many times I’ve stayed. I even have my family meet me here for local walks and the rest.  Tonight, I seem to have thrown my rattle. Or did I throw out the baby with the bath water. Whichever the saying is. I’ve behaved badly. I’ll probably have to explain myself later.  The story, whenever I’m here, if it’s cold, all I need to do to move the mobile thermostat to the windowsill and then the heating kicks in. Tonight it didn’t and man have I been in a fucking panic. Now seriously Leena, get a grip. -1 is cold but I am...
