Gossip Girl is Over.

10.26.2015

Gossip Girl is over. For me. For the rest of the world, it’s been over for three years. I’m late getting on the train, I know.

But I’m going to admit something that will definitely give you the power to judge me. I’m fine with it, I’ve come to peace with it. I just finished watching the entire series. And I’m sad. I can’t believe it’s over. My life is changed forever. I almost shed a tear. Or a million tears. It was quite possibly the best finale I’ve ever seen from a show. I am tempted to start it over and watch it from the beginning. Again. I was going to move on…you know…to another show, like Gilmore Girls or One Tree Hill. But I just can’t move on quite yet. I need some time to process these feelings. I need time to grieve. I need a glass of wine. Stat.

In the meantime, I guess life will keep moving on. While Serena and Dan will remain forever at their wedding and Blair and Chuck will stare longingly into each other’s eyes for the rest of time, I will have to continue trekking away doing my mindless activities. Life is just not fair.

Because I’ve been so busy lately (not watching Gossip Girl), I haven’t been writing much. So now that can all change. Hopefully I’ll be around a lot more this week, I do have plenty of Halloween DIY’s to show you. Including my pretty amazing costume. Can you guess what it will be?!

    Were you surprised by who Gossip Girl was? Or did you already know from spoilers? I’m just happy Blair and Chuck got their happy ending because I LOVE them together! haha

      I did NOT know ahead of time and I absolutely LOVED it. I was surprised, but I also just think it pulled the whole storyline together so perfectly. I loved why he did it, what it meant to him, and how it really just wrapped it all together. Ahhhhhhhh I’m obsessed. And I went into the finale thinking, SERIOUSLY NONE OF THEM ARE GOING TO END UP TOGETHER?! And then when B & C got married, I thought “Well at least one of the two couples ends up together.” And then the finale five minutes!??!?! Could it have been more perfect? Of COURSE S & D had to end up together. It was meant to be.

        Yeah it was a perfect ending! My fav was always Blair. She was always exactly who she said she was and owned it!

          Oh my gosh I know. I really liked her, but I definitely loved Serena. I just really liked all the main characters, I am SO SAD that it’s over!

            They definitely all brought something special to the show. Sometimes Lonely Boy got a little annoying, BUT I guess he was just trying to fit in…or be different. Depended on his mood haha

            Yeah plus he kept dating any girl that showed any interest in him. I honestly thought I was going to give up the show when Blair and him started dating. I couldn’t handle it, it was just too unrealistic (coming from a completely unrealistic show).

    Please say you’re going to be Serena Van der Woodsen for Halloween (!) I only picked Serena because you both have blonde hair. You could totally be Blair if you wanted to. Or maybe you’re going to be Gossip Girl? You have a blog and you’re a girl, I mean, it works!

    I loved Gossip Girl too and am still feeling the Monday night withdrawals. Ed Westwick’s new show starts tomorrow and, to be honest, I’m only watching it for him,

      Oh my God I WISH!!!!!!!!!!!! I absolutely think Serena is one of the prettiest women in the world. And I say Serena simply because her style is amazing and I LOVEDDDDDDDDD all of her outfits (I’m sure Blake is good too, but come on). Btw. I totally had a dream about Chuck Bass last night, and while Nate Archibald is clearly the “better looking” one – Chuck Bass is so intriguing. Haha. And I definitely recorded his new show tonight. I hope it’s good!!! – BTW, did you see the Dan thing coming?!

    I feel for you. When gossip girl finished for me it was like a hole in my heart. I felt a little empty! ?? you really get into it.. Xo

      10.27.2015 at 9:22 am

      Ugh! I feel the hole in my heart right now. Something is missing! I had a dream with Chuck Bass in it last night. I think I might need help. 😉

    BEST SHOW EVER!! I was so late to the game too, I can’t believe I didn’t watch it when it actually aired!

    • shauna841505@yahoo.com says

      10.27.2015 at 9:22 am

      Oh.My.God you watched it too?!?!? I am dying for someone to talk to about it. I don’t think I was even obsessed until the finale. I couldn’t have asked for a better one. It was absolutely perfect. AND. I did NOT see it coming at all. I knew it would have been one of them, but I just did NOT guess it. And after they explained it, I feel like it pulled the whole series together, just sort of completed it ya know?! OMG PERFECT!

    i know i am late to your gossip girl train, i just found your blog! I just couldnt NOT comment! are you still feeling the loss? it was my FAVORITE show! i refused to watch the last season for MONTHS after it came onto Netflix because i didnt want it to be over! it took me close to 4 months to finish it because I didnt want it to be over! The funny thing is, sometimes i watch the VERY first episode and then the very last episode. so much changes its nuts. and if you watch the first episode, it shows you that Dan is going to be gossip girl! its amazing. i love it. and Blair and Chuck, my goodness.. they are perfection. i loved every piece of the finale!

      Ughhhh I could NOT agree more with everything. Although I didn’t have to wait to finish the show because I was so late getting on board in the first place, I want to re-watch it and will probably have to do that this time. I LOVED the ending. I still listen to the finale’s song over and over on repeat. Chuck and Blair are perfect (mainly because Chuck is HOT), but I LOVEDDDD the Serena & Dan part. I am SO Happy they ended the finale with both marriages! PERFECTION!

When I became a stay at home mom, I thought it wou When I became a stay at home mom, I thought it would only be for a year at most. But as it turned out, I was lucky to be able to make it last as long as it has. What no one ever tells you though about becoming a SAHM, is that your whole identity can get wrapped up in being a mom. And for some women, that’s not a good thing. But for me, it’s a phenomenal thing. It’s an incredible time in my life that I wouldn’t trade for anything. That doesn’t mean I’m not exhausted or irritated at all, it just means I’ll take all of the negatives because the positive completely outweighs it for me. 

This should go without saying, that if you AREN’T satisfied with just being a mom, that’s okay too. For some women, having something else that is THEIRS makes them a better mom. And more power to you!

Back when I was growing up (wayyyyyyy back then), Back when I was growing up (wayyyyyyy back then), it seemed like most people grew up around their extended families. By the time I was in my twenties, it just seemed more likely that you’d be living away from your home towns, starting your own life. But what we didn’t realize was what that meant down the road, when we would start our own families. That our village wouldn’t be made of our family, but instead close friends. The only problem with that, is that most other young parents are working to support themselves, thus aren’t always available to be your village. It can be hard to ask a friend for help when you know she’s simultaneously drowning in her own house. 

So if it “takes a village,” but you’re doing it on your own, I see you. It’s HARD, and it is exhausting. But one day we will be on the other side of these days, telling our babies that it takes a village. And hopefully, we will be right down the road to help them. 🩵

After having my first daughter, I felt like I knew After having my first daughter, I felt like I knew a lot about parenting. I had it down, we had a routine and a schedule and she was pretty easy to handle. Then we had a second. And I realized that everything I THOUGHT I knew about parenting was a lie. I wasn’t a pro at “parenting,” I was a pro at parenting HER. Now I do everything I can not to laugh when a mom of only one child talks like I did. I get it, we’ve been there too, and I’m not judging. But the more kids you add in, the more experience you get as a parent. Because every personality is SO different, that the way you parent one isn’t always the same as the way you parent the others. 

Thoughts?
When I heard this audio, I instantly loved it. It’s such a crazy thing to see in nature, that God is showing us just how stressful and depleting being a new mama can be. 

So if you’re in the thick of it mama, just know you’ll get your pink back soon.

I don’t think we talk enough about how great it I don’t think we talk enough about how great it feels when your child feels safe with someone else. It may be a family member or a best friend, but it’s such a good feeling to know they have another rock in their life.
