But hey, we do have one thing in common: we're both very, very lucky to be able to do what we do! Globally, very few people have the privilege of choosing a low paying career for passion, or having homes in multiple countries. Lucky us!

And frankly I'm pretty invested in the work I do here. You kinda have to be; no one gets into this line of work for the pay.

I'm a wildlife conservation biologist who specializes in conserving threatened and endangered species in California specifically. Even if conservation paid enough for moving around the world to be feasible (lmao), I'd have to essentially start my career over

So you live in two different countries huh? Wow

No flared base, it's for the best

The recipe I used includes Epsom salts but I might try replacing that with something non toxic to make a kid friendly version for my toddler

It works! I'm going to make such a butt load of these things omg

A homemade bath bomb shaped like a rose. It's sort of orange colored.

I made some homemade rose scented bath bombs and I'm gonna give one a try now that both the kids are napping

I'll just live inside this gigantic egg box

Oh shit!

Five dozen cage free eggs

Wealth beyond measure, outlander

She was not happy that I made her come back inside and take a bath. Muddy cold outside water > clean warm inside water in the toddler hierarchy.

Toddler update: the toddler and I went out to find puddles for splashing in and she got thoroughly soaked, partially because it started storming halfway through.

I think I smell toast?

Baby update: the baby left a bigass booger on my tit

Typical man, like wow you expect the woman to take care of ALL your physical and emotional needs at all times? Wooooow.

"I'm two weeks old and you're my mother" oh yeah and whose fault is that huh? You don't see me being two weeks old. Weaponized incompetence, that's what it is.

Except of course when he decides he needs to sleep for five hours straight but also it's very important that I hold him the entire time or else he will scream

I like how the nurses were like "be sure to wake your newborn up every 2-3 hours to feed him" and then my son is like "HELP I'VE BEEN SEPARATED FROM THE TITTY FOR NEARLY 20 MINUTES I SHALL STARVE"

The baby keeps letting me know that he's done nursing by spitting out his last mouthful of milk into my lap

Don't take this the wrong way but is there any actual meaningful difference between you and a maga chud

Just hanging out with the kids watching Miss Rachel and the toddler turns to me mid hokey pokey and just says "no". Ma'am, you can't reject the hokey pokey. That's what it's all about.

Thank you :)

He's like a toddler who's bigger than me

Getting two kids out of the house ain't shit compared to getting my husband out

Toddler update: the toddler made up a song about wanting some cucumber slices and the lyrics are "cucumber cucumber right here right here" (repeated)

Yep, baby #1 has a little brother now!

Don't look at me I'm busy

Baby update: I gambled on doing a fast enough lap diaper change to avoid getting peed and pooped on and I lost

That's one advantage of pumping, you can control when & how much milk gets removed. With nursing you need cooperation from someone who's still figuring out how to poop
