7mo + ready for Tulum🌴 She is rolling from tummy to back + not the other way around bc she has zero interest in being on her tummy. Zero. What she does have high interest in is, drinking water from her sippy cup like a big girl, her hands + Walli. Most of all, Walli. Who, as you can see, has as much interest in her as she does tummy time. Sorry Sellie, he’ll come around love. #sweetselahraymer #wallitheterror #mygrumpybaby💚

May your hair grow Your skin glow And your ass stay fat. Amen✨ #TheRaymerGirls

I have been sweating @the_wild_unknown Animal Spirit (oracle not tarot) deck for a hot minute. I pre-ordered it + like any other lunatic, I checked the status daily knowing damn well it wasn’t coming until March 27🤷🏽‍♀️. So when my first pull was the Turtle, I am Not. Gonna. Lie. I was like, What. The. Actual. Fuck. - I just knew I would be one of the large black birds, or the Elephant, or the Tiger, or some lethal shit, like the Cobra ya know, but... nope. The Turtle. So, I read up (reluctantly + with a serious ass side-eye) on the Turtle <swipe>. And, that is how the cards work. How magick works. How the universe works. It doesn’t tell you/show you/give you what you want or want to know, but it tells you/shows you/gives you what it needs you to know. And, I am the Turtle. I am connected to water + to the earth, I collect stories bc that’s how I make sense out of this crazy world, I retreat in my shell a lot bc this world is usually too much for me + if you see me in the middle of the road + somehow turn me around, my ass is going right back to the direction I was headed bc I’M ALWAYS GONNA DO ME! - And, I could tell you so many stories (hello, Turtle trait... see how that works;) about why the Turtle is actually significant in my life, like how my first real pet was a red-eared slider named Spike + I had her all through college. She had a huge split level tank in my small ass dorm room + I legit took her home on all breaks. She was spoiled AF. And when I graduated college, I gave her to a wildlife biologist who had a bunch of random non-fluffy pets + I think of her all the time. But instead, I will tell you that on some days, I may be a large, lethal, stealthy, bad ass black bird, but at my core, I am the Turtle. And I pulled this card bc I obviously needed to be reminded of who I am, + why I am here. I have been disconnected lately, on auto pilot, surviving, not thriving. I have been in my shell. - This card is a reminder that its ok to retreat, to process, to heal... but whenever we are ready, rejoin the world. Bc no matter how small we are or feel, we are important, and our ecosystems actually need us + our gifts, to survive.

Happy Spring Equinox from the Raymer-Sbordi crew🌱

Happy 6mo babygirl! May you always be cheeky AF✨ #sweetselahraymer

Hi🙃 Now that I’ve got your attention with this ridiculously cute picture of my daughter, I wanted to tell you in case you don’t watch my stories (why don’t you watch my stories🤷🏽‍♀️), that I’ve added hashtags to my profile to make it easier for you to cruise through my journeys. - #halfietruths is my ever-evolving journey to becoming me - #happilyeverraymer is my journey to becoming a wife + where you will find pictures of my wedding, honeymoon + my dress😍 - #rainbowbabyraymer is my journey to becoming a mother, through the trials of miscarriage, ttc + pregnancy after loss - #sweetselahraymer is my journey as Selah’s mother + lots of cute pix of Sellie - Also, my blog is linked in the profile + there’s lots there if you’ve never been. Posts about my pregnancy, our home + Selah’s nursery + where you can find almost everything in it, to our trips to Italy, how I install my Marley twists, where I eat in Nashville, where I shopped when I knocked up + so much more. It’s all one click away👆🏽. - Also Also, I’m thinking of doing a FAQ as a highlight... thoughts? What should I include? - crib // @bloomglobal big baby // @dolewite101 fake baby shoes // Amazon (I’ll link them in stories;)

Happy Humpday! Lots of new followers from the MILF (Moms I Like to Follow;) shares, so I thought I’d do a quick intro, with a rare photo of me, as all the posts these days seem to be of the new queen of the tiny tall home, Selah S. Rose. - I’m Kenya🙋🏽‍♀️ + I basically post about whatever I’m feeling in that moment. I tried to be a traditional blogger + influencer, and stay on brand... but the way my slick mouth + commitment to doing whatever the fuck I want, is set up... it didn’t really work out. So, I’m basically sharing my journey, and I do make a buck here + there with some really amazing brands that let me be me. That me cusses often + a lot. - My hope in over sharing, is that women connect with my story + feel empowered, inspired + less alone in their own stories. I think it’s working. I’m an introvert. I’m an empath. I’m not about the bullshit. And therefore, I have a lot of boundaries that are all in the name of self-preservation, which I take very serious + communicate, clearly, often. You’ll see. I’m a little witchy, obsessed with the light + sun flares + I think mustard is going to be my summer color. - If you cruise around my page, you’ll quickly find my family. My husband is @dolewite101. He is very cute, tells old man jokes, + I will start sharing him again, now that I’m getting more sleep + like him again😂. Fun fact, we met here on IG✨ #happilyeverraymer - My daughter is Selah. She started out all grump, but she is slowly coming into her happiness + her laugh is basically the best thing there ever was... possibly better than your kid’s but I’ll let you be the judge 😂. She’s 6 months old, trending a bit big for her age + according to my 3yr old brother, purple is her favorite color. - And last but never least, our first child is @walliraymer + the Walli lovers will have my head on a platter if I didn’t mention him. Like our daughter, he too is on the bigger side, thinks he’s a human + is not here for Selah’s late night screaming or grabby hands, but he is here for her droppin her paci. Whenever. Wherever. - Ok, now I gotta go + eat lunch in my car bc Selah finallllllly fell asleep🙌🏽.
