Home office views vs in-office views — not sure which ones I like better 😏

My home office has been decked out with some beautiful plants and a new accent rug. I just have to order & frame some photos for the wall above the couch and I think it’s about done. I’m loving this little space at home that’s just mine. Too, having the treadmill in my work space has transformed my daily habits. I’ve been working out a lot more than usual and eating much better as a result. If the scale could just budge a bit more, that’d be great.

This week I commuted into the office twice and it wasn’t as tough as I expected. I’m actually enjoying getting out of the house, having some quiet time to myself on the train, and interacting with my colleagues in person. Twice a week seems doable for now. It’s also nice wearing something other than leggings and a nursing tee. I really need to find some good bras though.

I’ve managed to wean my supply so that I don’t need to pump during the day but I still have plenty of milk for the baby at bedtime, overnight if needed, and in the morning. I didn’t think I would be able to accomplish that — when I was exclusively breastfeeding, it seemed crazy to think I could go all day without nursing/pumping and still have a supply at night — but here we are. The further along I get in my bf journey this time around, the more proud of myself I am.

Work has asked if I can travel internationally over the next few months and my gut instinct was to say yes, although I’m rethinking the breastfeeding aspect of that. I’m lucky that my boss is flexible and she wants me to do what’s best for me. So, I’m still mulling it over. We’ll see.

The kids are adjusting to me being away twice a week pretty well, better than anticipated. My MIL has been helping out whenever she’s not working — in the mornings Monday through Thursday and then Friday all day. No more big bumps in the road as far as she’s concerned. Fingers crossed it’s smoother sailing here on out. I’m still working on mending our somewhat strained relationship. It’ll take time.

The bird obsession continues to ramp up. Spring migration is almost upon us y’all, and I’m PUMPED. I was out back doing a happy dance while watching a flock of common grackles and red winged blackbirds in the yard the other morning. I guess this is life now? 🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛😅

The Gentle Workout Karlie Kloss Swears By by Olivia Rose Rushing

The model, entrepreneur, and mother of two shares her go-to wellness rituals.

At just 31, Karlie Kloss has already lived many lives.

When she was 21, the Missouri native was a Victoria’s Secret Angel. In 2015, she founded Kode With Klossy, a company that creates opportunities for young women in tech. Flash forward to today, and the mother of two has learned a lot about dealing with change.

“With life as a mother, you don’t lose who you are — you evolve,” Kloss tells Bustle. “My fashion career is still a core part of who I am, but I’m also an entrepreneur and I just had a second baby.” While she still prioritizes aspects of her wellness routine, sometimes things slip.

“If something’s got to give, it might be a few extra steps in my skin care routine, but I’m going to make sure that I make time to break a sweat or even just go for a walk and get fresh air,” she says.

In between modeling gigs, educating the next generation of intellectuals with her company, and annual invites to the Met Gala, Kloss is taking on a partnership with Coterie, a subscription-based diaper service that aims to take one thing off a parent’s plate.

Here, Kloss talks all things motherhood, the wellness rituals she swears by, and finding moments of self-care amid her busy schedule.

What has changed since baby number two?

Not to be cliché, but everything — in the most beautiful ways. That's really what the Coterie campaign is all about — the changes. I'm looking in the mirror and I have mascara left over from last night, I don't even think I've run a brush through my hair today. My self-care routine has definitely gotten more efficient, and maybe a little neglected, but that's OK. I'm enjoying this phase of life, which has made me so much better in a lot of ways. As a businesswoman, I've become more efficient and I make decisions faster, and I think a lot of working moms can relate to that. It's impossible to even anticipate what is about to happen, but it's the most beautiful changes that force you to grow.

What’s your skin care routine like these days?

I just take better care of my skin so I don't have to wear as much makeup. I've found that's been a better investment of my time, so I’m diligent at the end of the day about taking off makeup, cleansing, toning, and using a serum and a retinol.

Are there any non-negotiables that you always make time for throughout the day?

I'd say fitness. I exercise for my mental health more than my physical health. I find that's such a core part of my mental well-being. I’m not as focused on high-impact or intensity — I’ve developed a more gentle exercise regimen post-baby number two, so I’ve done a lot of Pilates lately, which I find helps me show up better in every other aspect of my life.

What’s on your workout playlist?

Anything Beyoncé.

What’s the most out-there wellness treatment you’ve ever tried?

There's this guy who is called The Beauty Sandwich who has some sort of ultrasound technology he uses for facials. I've done his treatments before the Met Gala or a big red carpet, and it does some magical thing to the muscles under your face, your jaw, your neckline — it just pulls and tightens in some mysterious, magical way.

Coffee or tea?

Iced coffee always. There's snow on the ground here in New York and I just went out to get an iced coffee this morning.

Physical book or Kindle?

I love an audiobook, actually. Especially now, I always have my hands full or I'm in transit, so I love to have headphones in and listen to an audiobook.

Do you prefer walking the runway or photo shoots?

I do love the energy of walking in a runway show — it's like a live performance, and there's something about that adrenaline rush that never gets old.

What’s the best advice you’ve ever received?

My dad always used to say to my sisters and me, "No matter what it is that you do, you should always try to be the best you can be at it." Both my parents instilled this idea of pursuing your passions and doing it with excellence. That always stuck with me.

2023 : Terlahir Sebagai Ibu

2023. Tahun dimana proses pendewasaan terasa begitu cepat. Dinamika kehidupan rumah tangga yang menantangku untuk terus belajar dan bertumbuh. Peran sebagai istri dan kemudian ibu Allah gariskan begitu cepat. Aku hanya ingin dikuatkan dan dimampukan atas segala takdir yang Allah tetapkan. Keputusanku untuk banyak menghabiskan waktu di ranah domestik tidak malah membuatku bersantai. Pikiranku bergemuruh akan banyak kekhawatiran. Aku bertekad untuk terus belajar dan berkembang.

Bulan keempat tahun itu lahirlah status-status baru dalam keluarga kami sebab telah lahir hamba Allah yang diamanahkan pada kami. Bukan hanya ia yang terlahir sebagai manusia di muka bumi ini, tapi aku terlahir sebagai ibu dan suamiku terlahir sebagai ayah. Tentunya bukan hanya berubah status melainkan yang paling penting adalah peran dan tanggungjawab yang kian bertambah. Aku harus sungguh-sungguh. Inilah yang menjadi alasan kuatku bahwa aku tidak boleh berjalan santai apalagi berhenti. Anakku tidak bisa memilih lahir dari ibu mana namun aku bisa memilih agar ia tetap hidup sejak dalam kandungan hingga lahir ke dunia. Aku bisa memilihnya. Aku ingin menjadi ibu terbaik untuk anak-anakku kelak, maka upgrade diri harus selalu aku lakukan dan semangatku harus terus menyala.

Aku pernah menemukan sebuah video percakapan seorang anak dengan ibunya,

“Ada yang hilang saat kamu menjadi ibu?”

“Mungkin masa mudaku, ya. Masa gadisku. Tapi, seiring berjalannya waktu banyak juga hal-hal yang waktu aku masih gadis tidak bisa aku lakuin itu bisa aku lakuin setelah menjadi ibu.”

“Jadi ibu rasanya ternyata susah ya. Susah ternyata jadi ibu.”

“Tapi alhamdulillah ya bisa menjalankannya dengan baik.”

Percakapan di atas berhasil membuatku terharu mengeluarkan air mata dan membayangkan segala perjalanan yang tidak mudah. Mungkin terlihat sederhana tapi ternyata menguras pikiran dan air mata ketika melewatinya. Sependek pengalamanku sebagai ibu baru, aku bisa merasakannya. Perjuangan saat persalinan, tubuh yang tidak sama bahkan hanya sekedar duduk dan berjalan saja perlu dilatih kembali, proses menyusui yang ternyata melelahkan, drama MPASI yang seringkali membuat bingung, stimulasi untuk tumbuh kembang anak yang harus diupayakan dan masih banyak lagi yang mungkin bisa membuatku bercerita panjang tanpa titik. Pernyataan di atas sangat mewakili aku pribadi. Maka, sebagai ibu aku harus terus hidup, semangatku harus terus menyala, dan doaku untuk keluarga harus terus mengangkasa. Belajar adalah kuncinya. Doa jangan sampai alpa.

Perjalanan ini masih panjang. Mungkin akan ada anak kedua, ketiga, keempat dan kesekian yang menambah hangat dan melengkapi kebahagiaan kami. Perjalanan sebagai ibu menantangku berkembang dengan cepat. Anakku terus melaju maka aku pun harus begitu.

Oh, Allah. Terimakasih atas karuniaMu.

Mudah-mudahan Allah jaga keluarga kita dan selalu bersama hingga surga.
