My husband is off for the next two weeks until he starts his new job. His last day in office was Friday, it’s Sunday and he’s already overstimulated by our children.

Buckle up, pal. It’s gonna be a long two weeks 🤣

Seeing the difference in my husbands mood since he gave notice to his job has been so refreshing. He’s been more playful with the kids and more relaxed overall.

Today was his last day in office. He came home and took a well deserved nap 🤣

I won’t share the whole good news, but my husband is finally getting out of public accounting! Public accounting is not a sustainable path for families. Especially for families with small children. My husband is constantly working long hours, weekends, and missing invaluable family time. I’ve felt like a single mother for the last several months. He was here, but not. I can tell he’s been depressed for months because he’s missing out and hasn’t been a present partner for me.

He went for a second interview today and was given an offer on the spot. This opportunity not only pays him more, but it’s also a standard 40 hour week, and lots of very cool perks for employee & family.

I’m so excited to have my partner back. I’m happy for my children to have their dad more present and not stressed.

It’s weird what we get emotionally attached to.

Yesterday, I sold my spectra breast bump. I’ve had that thing since 2020 when I had my firstborn. I used it again last year when providing for my son. I had such a love hate relationship with it. Needless to say, it was very bittersweet but it served its purpose. Now it gets to go help another new mama provide for her first little one.

This heat can fuck right off 🥵

Two of my most favorite places on the planet.

1. Bluff Point State Park

2. Eastern Point Beach

Both hold such special memories ❤️

Eastern Point is where I would go and watch my husband’s submarine leave & come home and I spent a lot of time at Bluff Point hiking with some of my best friends.

I can’t tell you how healing this trip was for me. Being back on the New England coastline, the breeze off the ocean… so good for the mental health. We haven’t been back since we moved almost 6 years ago. Back then, it was only the 3 of us, and Gwen was 5 months old. We had so much fun showing her around her original home state. Sad to be leaving tomorrow, back to our landlocked town with nothing to do. As much as I am ready to sleep in my own bed, I will forever miss it here.

Until next time, New England ❤️

It’s been SO nice being back in our old military town. Seeing old friends, visiting our old favorite spots. Fresh seafood… we miss it so much.

Side note: traveling with an 8 month old.. sheesh 😂

You know that episode of Bluey where Chili says, “I just need 20 minutes where no one talks to me?”

Yeah, that’s me right now. Overstimulated as HELL. Thank god boys & girls club starts Monday. At least Gwen will have 3 days out of the house before vacation.

Konnor has literally been insufferable all day, no matter what I do. My husband is on his way back from ANOTHER out of town work trip. I am so fucking done with him having to leave for this job.

We leave for our family vacation to Connecticut next week and I am so excited! We are going back to our old duty station. Lots of beaches, favorite food spots, the submarine museum, Mystic Aquarium, shopping at the Olde Mistick Village, and some much needed time with old friends.

We’re so excited to show our daughter where we used to live, where we got married, all our favorite places, and all cool things about her daddy’s old job in the Navy. Our daughter is also excited to catch a glimpse of Taylor Swift’s Watch Hill mansion.

We also might be dreaming of moving back… to be determined lol!

Welp. The birthday party turned out how I anticipated. 3 friends showed up. Only one was a classmate, the other was the classmates brother, and then an old friend from day care.

What’s most ANNOYING about it is… we just got home from a friend’s birthday party and so many kids from Gwen’s class were there. Needless to say, Gwen was very upset. We talked about it on the way home. Her sweet self was like, “it makes me feel like they thought my party was going to be boring.”

When your kids hurt… it’s a different kind of hurt. This is why birthday parties are just not it for us anymore. We prefer to take her on a weekend trip to create better core memories.

Gwen’s 6th birthday is this Saturday. We have her party planned for here at our house. We invited her classmates and of course family. I requested responses by May 23rd. Only one friend has RSVP’d.

Y’all. I ordered a bounce house, 8 pizzas and a half a sheet cake from Costco.

Do people just not RSVP anymore? Is that just not common courtesy in 2026? I’m gonna be PISSED if I invested this much money into her party and only family shows up. I’ll also be double pissed because I’m going to have one sad little girl.

I don’t know many of her classmates parents so I just can’t send a follow up text to hunt people down. It’s just so annoying that people can’t just RSVP with a simple text.

[lifewithcherie]

I literally hate it here so much. Do y’all wanna know how much a 10 minute visit to the ER cost us?

When Konnor fell off the bed on Mother’s Day, we took him to get checked out. They did his vitals, weight, height… PA came in and felt his back, head, and did a cognitive look over.

We were there for 10 minutes….

$977.78

ALMOST A THOUSAND FUCKING DOLLARS FOR THEM TO JUST GIVE MY SON A LOOK OVER.

Mind you, I have absolutely ZERO regrets taking him in. I’m just fed up with the healthcare system in this country and our corrupt government who places billionaires and pedos over the hard working American people.

ER yesterday morning with Konnor after he decided to yeet himself face first off our bed, now this morning I took Gwendolynn to urgent care where she tested positive for COVID.

Motherhood, y’all. I love it so much, but DAMN 🤣

[lifewithcherie]

Konnor gave me a great Mother’s Day gift this morning… A nice tumble off our bed onto the hardwood floor.

We took him to the ER and he is fine. Just has a nice goose egg on his forehead but he’s acting like his normal happy boy self. I was a freaking MESS. This kid is going to age me quicker than I’d like.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms ❤️

[lifewithcherie]

Tomorrow is Mother’s Day and my house is a freakin NIGHTMARE. Husband is working in the home office, and I’m with the kids. I’m so tired of solo parenting on the weekends and evenings because of his job. I need HELP.

[lifewithcherie]

I have had zero motivation to do anything this week and it’s already Thursday.
