If TikTok ever goes away again then I'll have no choice but to come back to tumblr. Until then, here's my annual update 🤪

[tess3llate]

[tess3llate]

nursing my baby and thinking about Crush Fit… feels like a fever dream tbh

[tess3llate]

i miss hearing about your life 😫 how is living in chicago? are you still a nanny? how’s this new chapter of your life going? girl give us something!

Ugh I know, I miss being on here consistently but I feel like my life is just kinda boring and routine these days! 😅😩

Chicago is great, winter sucks but I’d be struggling through it probably anywhere lol. I’m still working as a nanny and house manager, still doing CrossFit, still trying to figure out Frankie’s paw chewing issues 😆. Things are good! It’s really wild to have stability and to feel like everything is falling into place, but maybe that’s the lexapro talking lol. Honestly I don’t feel like my day to day has changed drastically since having a baby since I’ve been raising other peoples’ babies professionally for years now, but it is hard not having my body to myself and postpartum was really difficult for the first several months. I know this stage is short though and I’m thankful for all the time I get to have with my daughter 🫶. Thanks for asking!!
