on allowing time off when nothing is possible anyway
plus last call for the unflattering membership before the price goes up!
This really isn't a post, more just me dropping a note to let you know that I’m currently in parenting limbo, the space in between when school ends and camps or other childcare begin. I've given up trying to be "productive" during those times, so I won't be posting officially this week (more about how I try to pace my work with my capacity below).
I also just want to remind you about the unflattering membership. If you join before June 1, the yearly price is $120, and you get all the usual stuff: access to all paywalled articles including AMA’s, the ability to join the community with commenting privileges, and access to my monthly shopping links AND you’ll also get member perks like:
💥***NEW AND EXCITING***💥 6 times a year, you’ll receive access to a special thread called “Dacy Shops For You”. You can submit two items you’re shopping for and I’ll recommend 2 options for each specific to your needs. (value: $1050)
Access to my constantly updated spreadsheet of 250+ retailers, sorted by size, price range, style, and sustainability (Virginia Sole-Smith
called it “gold”). Go here to see a quick video of how it works.
The ability to submit the questions I’ll answer in my AMA’s, as well as me answering any that don’t make it to publication.
Free access to my mini-courses on Uncovering Your Authentic Style, Stress Free Shopping, and Travel Packing (value: $150)
The price will be going up this Saturday, June 1, to $150/year, so upgrade or subscribe soon!
The first Dacy Shops For You thread will drop on June 6, so you don't want to miss it.
See you next week, and for those of you in any kind of liminal space, parenting related or not, I hope you’re able to take some of the pressure off of yourself.
Your post gives me a lot to think about. Shortly I will be on short-term disability as I contend with difficulties surrounding my heart disease. I am concerned with how to spend my days so that I am not worrying myself sick the next four months. While our situations are not the same, there is a little overlap. Hoping both of us find rest in the turmoil.
I really appreciate you sharing this, Dacy. I used to have these (romanticized? Delusional?) ideas that I could work and parent at the same time. But it turns out I don't have that kind of kid. Or I'm not that kind of mom? Or maybe it's just that we're not meant to do both at the same time! I recently gave up trying to double fist work and parenting and it's made a big difference in my overall mood, productivity and relationship with my child. 💖
