MEMORIAL MERCH FOR DUCKY & PEACH 💛🐷🍑 LINK TO BUY IN MY BIO! since the passing of our sweet pigs this year due to reproductive cancer, i’ve been brewing on the proper way to honor our girls. after going through a painful last few months watching them both be taken by this horrible disease, i decided to release memorial merch with 50% of profits going to animal refuge 🐖 over the next 21 days, i hope to raise awareness for the high risk of cancer especially in unspayed sows & raise funds for this incredible sanctuary.
OMI is home to nearly 200 animals across 6 different species, but many of them are pig residents that get to call this 93+ acre TN property their forever home. i have always appreciated OMI for speaking on how notoriously hard pigs are to vet, so to ensure the highest quality of care, their animals see the knowledgeable vet team at a local university. OMI uses their resources to rescue animals, provide them peace & security as well as offer access to life saving procedures, spaying, neutering, etc. i am honored to lift up their platform with this merch campaign 💛 & if you aren’t interested in grabbing some merch, you can always support them via donation!
this merch design is a fun twist on the deranged shirts often seen at american truck stops. our girls were cross country pigs who moved from the west to east coast, so it felt right to have them memorialized riding hogs into heaven. the design was a collaborative effort between my vision, a kind viewer’s mockup after joking about truck stop tees on a twitch stream (s/o .michelle_) & my dear friend nick .knuckles who brought this amazing concept to the glory it is now! we got hoodies, long sleeves, & regular tees as well as a variety of comfort colors & colorblast options (even more than what’s pictured) available up to 4x in select styles. sales end 8/30 so get em while they’re hot 🔥🏍️🐷 RIP DUCKY & PEACH! LOVING YOU CHANGED MY LIFE!

one month of being corvidia’s mommy 💛 my most cherished role yet! the essence of motherhood is tough to capture through photos, but this is a glimpse into the past month of our lives. i still can’t believe she’s mine 😭 sometimes i just hold her & cry. i cry because i love her so much. i cry because i hope everyone who wants to have a baby gets to do so. i cry for every parent who has lost their baby. i cry because i understand my own mother more deeply & how complex it must be to watch your baby have a baby, but i also experience unbridled joy in this role. my heart swells when i see her dimple that came from her daddy 🥹 i love watching our animals interact with & protect her 🐕🐖 i love seeing her eyes get wide when we show her the world 🌎 i love watching finley as a father 👨‍🍼 I LOVE MY LIFE WITH HER IN IT!
obviously not pictured is the endless diaper changes, cluster feedings, crying fits & other not so glamorous parts of parenthood. trying to feed myself while i feed her without getting soup or crumbs on her, balancing her screaming while my other hand lays out a swaddle & navigating bringing her out into the world online & off. *girl from mean girls voice* i just have a lot of feelings 🥲
there’s no way to capture the huge hormonal shift that is postpartum in a photo. i’ve had my fair share of ups & downs throughout these weeks & i’m sure i’ll have more, but thankfully my partner is the calm in the storm. i love you 🥰 i thank you for making me a mama even when it’s hard. i genuinely don’t know how people do parenthood alone, so if you do, i see you & you are doing amazing 🫶
also, while this is the best thing that’s ever happened to me, that can coexist alongside other feelings as well. a mourning of my past life, boredom at the sometimes mundane parts of parenthood (i.e. staring out the same window everyday, rocking in the chair for endless hours & doing the same things on a loop) but the thing is, i wouldn’t change a single thing. this has been the most rich month of my life. rich in happiness, new experiences, lessons & feelings that i’ve never felt. “i ain’t never did nothing this right in my whole life!”- j. cole 🤱

welcome to the world corvidia 🐦‍⬛🖤 our daughter was born at 4:25 AM on 5/23 in the safety & comfort of our room almost exactly 12 hours after my water broke. i’m incredibly grateful to say that i had my absolute dream home birth with no complications. it all felt very intuitive to me & i will share it all in a positive birth story video later on, but for now i just wanted to share that our little bundle of joy is here 🥰 i’m so proud of all that my body went through to bring her here. birth is amazing!!!

basking in the unknowing, reality & reflection 🖤 throughout my pregnancy & when asked about parenthood, i have been telling people “the only expectation i have is that i have no expectations at all” because that is truly the case. sure, i’ve always felt made to be a mother. i started working in child care at age 9, babysitting & nannying all throughout my life since, but i’ve never raised my own child. never grown a baby to this point. never felt the sensations of labor & surrendered to their might. the end of pregnancy is a lot of planning. nesting is so much more than creating a comfortable space for your baby. it’s inner work, shedding layers of doubt & absolutely trusting yourself that you were built for this. today, i am focusing on this mantra:
“i give my heart permission to lead this dance. i give my mind some time off— no more worry or doubt, planning or resisting. instead, i surrender. instead, i open. instead, i allow. and all unfolds with perfection, divine timing & the miracle of grace.” so be it!

swollen with child & glowing with joy & strength 💛 what an honor it is to be your mommy, little one 🤰 it was such a treat to have my maternity photos captured by the ever-so-talented who encapsulated this very raw time of transition in my life with the utmost care for me & baby. she adorned us in garments, flowers & love as we rolled around in the grass & ventured into freezing pond water together. these are just 5 of the looks we shot, but honestly each will have to have its own moment on the grid because there are just too many amazing photos to choose from. give her her flowers y’all 💐

24 weeks of growing my love
❤️
as i near the end of my second trimester i’m filled with joy at how it’s felt for me compared to the sickness of my first trimester… am i actually enjoying myself? is this even ALLOWED? 😂 obviously each pregnancy comes with its own set of symptoms, but i’ve felt overall cheery most days even despite the extra weight i carry on hikes, the aching back & breakouts on my legs??? baby is simply loving it in there! she moves most when i laugh, eat delicious food, or settle down to read
🤰
i’ve been giving a lot more time lately to caring for myself the way i want to care for her & how i hope she’ll care for herself when she grows up. i’ve been trying to limit my critical thoughts in the mirror & slowly learn to accept my changing body that is growing something extremely meaningful. the other day i walked into the room finley was in frowning & pointing at the stretch marks on my expanding hips. he simply goes “what’s bad about them?”… it made all that i say to myself behind the closed doors of my mind have so much less power over me. what is there to be afraid of? my body knows how to grow with my baby. i think letting myself surrender to that inner knowing is my mantra for the third trimester 💛 i am built to birth! here are some mantras for you all that are not pregnancy related that are part of the affirmation meditation i do daily
✨
i love myself
i love my life
i only talk about myself in positive ways
i release all negative self talk

reminiscing on our abundant oregon summers 💚 jumping in cold rivers after long hikes, harvesting the garden until my knees ached, growing oyster 🍄 in our basement, & picking the blackberry bushes until my fingers turned purple 💜 i have a feeling we’re getting closer to spending more days like this 🎶
when it's not always raining there'll be days like this 🌧️
when there's no one complaining there'll be days like this 😁
when everything falls into place like the flick of a switch 💡
when my mama told me there'll be days like this 👩‍👧
p.s. if any of you know the artist who made the last pic, please tag them below 🙏

POV: We’re on a coffee date & you ask me for sustainability tips 😜 I love seeing companies like Peet's Coffee make the effort to be more sustainable. It’s so important to me to hold the brands we know & love accountable for their environmental actions. That’s why I am happy to encourage all of you lovely folks to . Waking up to the climate crisis isn’t always an easy process, so I feel called to share some tips below that have helped me in my sustainability journey & what may help you too.
Educating yourself in turn leads to educating others. Reading about the climate crisis & applying small changes to your life to help the planet often inspires the people around you. It’s helpful to remember that we’re all just trying our best!
Shop local & low waste when you can. Bring your bags to the bulk stores near you & thank them for making those options available to you.
If you can’t find something locally, you can often offset your carbon emissions when you shop online. You could even go ! Peet’s is the first coffee subscription to offset carbon emissions. They make a great cup of joe, are a great organization to support, & carbon offsetting is a great way to be socially responsible with your consumption. If you follow the link in my bio, you can subscribe to to get delicious coffee delivered to your door & in turn, Peet’s will sponsor 3 mangrove trees in Myanmar’s ecoregion of Southeast Asia to offset your carbon dioxide emissions for that month. Go check it out!
