Croch-heyyy everyone 🧶🤣💕Recovering from a lumpectomy after some suspicious findings on mammo, ultrasound, and needle biopsies over the last few months. While I’ve been feeling a bit private about all of it, I will say my surgeon (who is amazing) was extra cautious due to my family history. It’s been three days and I honestly feel back to normal today. She was able to hide my incision in a scar from a *previous surgery 👀🤪* Honestly- the waiting on results and worry has been the hardest part for me (and also why I’ve been mia because when I worry, I naturally hibernate, go in to full family time mode, and withdraw a bit… and apparently crochet lol) Thanks for all the kind messages this week- I feel pretty confident it won’t be anything additional to worry about but I just have to make it over this quick hump (no pun intended). #checkyourboobies #crochet #hyperfixation #thisis40

Oh hey- I made this baby blanket. One simply does not just go through life with ADHD and not eventually hit a crochet hyperfixation 😂🧶 I knew the time was coming when I hit granny mode and chose “cozy” as my word for 2024. BUT in all seriousness, I want my kids to see me do more with my hands. Reading books, making a blanket, painting for fun, cooking dinner… anything in my hand that isn’t a phone 24/7. Even if I get lost in a stitch or chapter for a moment, it feels better than a moment lost on a screen in front of them. *bonus- if you have ever wanted to crochet, it’s awesome that your ears are open to listen to your family and have conversations without digital distractions* It’s been almost two years of reframing my relationship with social media and screen time- me not popping on here all day or even every day isn’t random. It’s been proper work and well worth it. I love when I do just randomly hop on to share something- like a handmade blanket just because, no links, no agenda, just “hi I’m proud I made this blanket”- it can be shared with a message like this that feels like I’m leaving you with a little more ☀️ as you scroll away. (And full disclosure, my husband and two of three kids are playing on screens beside me as I type this. So fo real, no judgey vibes here- just sharing an honest awareness that led me to set boundaries and limitations for myself, and choose how I want to influence how my kids learn to show up on social media or perceive value online. 🤟🏼) #ramblings #worldsokayestinfluencer #adhd #crochet #crocheting #babyblanket #momswithadhd

2023 was cute- it was the year I became a NICU nurse again (a soul satisfying, purposeful calling that I just truly love). It was 12 hour night shifts feeling like the Josie Gellar of healthcare, navigating orientation again after being an RN for 17 years (also, I just did that math on my fingers twice because that’s wild). It was privacy and resetting my social media currency and validation- or at least trying to navigate the mind f*ck that our generation wasn’t prepared for. It was rv trips in the @blackseries.us and the beginning to a deep healing journey from literal war for our little military family. It didn’t feel like the most exciting year ever, but it was a great one, or at the very least the most okayest 😂 . It was the Tuesdays of years and yall know i believe “love is the Tuesdays.” The extraordinary in the ordinary. My word for 2024 is cozy, in my space and my mindset. I’ve been craving creativity and sharing more here again now that I have released the pressure valve a bit. I just have to figure out where to begin bc lawdddd, lots has happened. I also went near radio silent before thanksgiving because my mammogram and boobie biopsies have been wiiiiild and I didn’t know where to start with that but I figure if you’re reading this far in to the caption, I should open up soon. Anyhowww- one very consistent thing from your very inconsistent girl here is my gratitude to open up this app and my heart another year and still have you here with me. Cheers to the first Tuesday of 2024 🥂 #2024 #loveistheTuesdays #nicunurse #newyear #neverbeenkissed

Nicu nurses- we wrap the best presents 👩🏼‍🍼🎁 “The lights are turned way down low- let them grow, let them grow, let them grow”. But really, our patients are snow cute ❄️ (and all the other fun holiday puns that go along with taking care of the actual cutest humans ever with strong a$$ families who are unexpectedly celebrating this Christmas hanging stockings from isolettes instead of waiting comfortably from home for Santa). No matter what, if you are reading this and you and your loved ones have health, happiness, and a safe place to sleep, you have EVERYTHING! (And thanks for powering our team of special elves @_biggby_virginiabeach_ @biggbycoffee ) Christmas weekend has officially begun in the Keane household- bring it on! #nicu #nicunurse #nicunurses #nicubaby

“I want for nothing.” Those closest to me have heard me say that a lot lately but I still really mean- give me slow moments with familiar hearts and big smiles. Give me another morning to wake up with purpose and intention. Give me discernment of what is true and good- and let me give that to everyone I meet. Give me creativity and something to do with my hands. Give me something meaningful to share here. I want for nothing… but I’d give anything to spend more time with my parents, raise babies with my sister, go on adventures with my big brother, and sing at the top of my lungs at bedtime with my best friend.
