Another Year! - My B-Day

 Hello All,

So I know I have written about parties before but I wanted to plan the ultimate little party!

• yummy food- make your little their favorite food, yes even dino nuggets. What ever they want they can have this day
• take them some where fun- this could be the mall, zoo, or just to the local park. What ever you do let them be little and enjoy the time in little space
• Cake- please let your little enjoy their cake don't remind them to eat slowly, how many calories are in the cake or anything -- this is their time to enjoy
• Have some people over- if your little has friends have them over for some games maybe have a small party.
• If they have little friends maybe throw a little b-day party just like when they were kids invite the CGs and enjoy some time with the grown up
• if they don't have accepting friends or no little friends allow your little to enjoy some big time maybe even let them drink (if they are of legal age) 
• Let your little be in charge- this is their day remember that and make sure they are happy and pleased 
• Gifts- make sure to wrap it and allow them to open it, littles love surprises so don't make them pick their own gifts out 
• Watch a movie- break out the popcorn and enjoy a silly movie time together
• Get the fun plates, party hats, candles and sound makers- I know your little will love it just trust me :3
• Just have fun- what ever that means to you and your little just enjoy your time together and have a great time, if that means no celebration of any kind then that's okay just make sure your little is happy and enjoying their special day. 

I hope this helps will little birthdays and how they can be made extra special. 

Happy Birthday to You All,

A Little's Perfect Wedding

 Hi,

My daddy wanted me to write about my idea for a wedding here so this might get a little naughty so make sure to ask before you read!

So a few things to have at wedding:

Pick a fun color -- maybe go with your favorite color or a color that just makes you happy forget about the seasons color this is your wedding not the fall's wedding 

Make your own flowers -- instead of buying flowers maybe learn to make them, arts and crafts!

If your a princess wear a princess dress, if your a prince a beautiful suit and if you don't feel like it wear what makes you happy, maybe a big bow or cute bunny or cat ears 

Have a fun cake -- maybe add your favorite characters to it as the wedding party or just have fun flavors 

Invite your little friends -- sometimes we just need our little friends and their caregivers

If you can wear little things under your dress or suit -- I know it might be a surprise for your caregiver but I know they will love it 

Be prepared for the wedding night -- I know this can be scary but it will be really fun so don't stress

you are going to be tired after so make sure to pack some cozy clothes for after the party and maybe your stuffie

If you are ready do a collaring -- this maybe the right time to get your final collar the collar you will wear forever with your caregiver (see my post on collaring) 

Have your favorite food -- maybe not you favorite little food but make sure you are pleasing your taste buds (and maybe have your caregiver and new spouse cut it up for you)

So this is not a complete list not even close but I hope it gives some good ideas for a little hidden wedding or even just wedding, I have never had one so I wasn't great at creating this list, but I now have some good ideas for myself :3

Love and Bliss,

A Little Guide to Fall

 UWU Heddo,

So as fall comes to the east coast I wanted to write a little bit on what I like to do in fall that makes me feel little and most of them can be hidden in normal fall activities. 

1. apple picking- makes me feel so small especially around really big trees. I also love eating apples as a little snack so a double win. 
2. Picking and carving pumpkins- just makes me feel little as this was something I did when I was young super fun activity but be careful with knives
3. drinking warm drinks- I love hot apple cider and coco great time to enjoy them as it gets cold
4. snuggling- I love this all the time but as it gets colder its a way more fun activity
5. sitting around a fire- a great time to roast marshmallows and eat candy 
6. dressing up- as Halloween gets close I love trying on clothes and dressing up and I can do it without fear or being caught. I also love being in costume shops that pop up
7. coloring fall pictures- I just love fall so coloring things with fall colors is super fun  
8. reading in the sun- a little bit of a big kid activity but enjoying the nice weather in a cozy sweater is a great way of getting fresh air and still feeling cozy 
9. Watching Halloween movies- I hate scary movies but I love the little movies that come out during this time they are just super fun and cute 
10. Eating yummy foods- during this time all my favorite foods come out like cider donuts, pie and warm casseroles

What's your favorite fall activity? What do you like to do where you live?

A Little Guide To Bipolar 2

 Hi there,

So here I am telling you a really big thing about me, yes, I have bipolar 2 and through a lot of self care I feel like I can tell you all and write a little bit on how I have worked through it and how I took care of myself. 

DISCLAMER- I am a social work student but please don't take this as gospel this is just a few things that have worker with me but they wont work with anyone. Please if you feel like you are going through mental health trouble seek professional help. 

What my bipolar looks like- stretches of depression that can last for a few month and can become extreme to the point of suicide actions. Then short periods of hypomania resulting in hyper actions, staying up too late, starting projects, and irregular actions. My bipolar can be really scary and its hard to switch from hypomania to depression and I tend to have suicide actions and self harm. 

Things that have helped

Medication- it has taken a while but I have finally found a mixture of medication that help through the waves of emotions and the long stretches of depression. 

Therapy- I have been in therapy for a long time but talk therapy can be really helpful in understanding the minute details of bipolar and what triggers might be for wave changes and just life in general it can be hard for anyone.

Time in little space- I use little space as a part of my self-care. I spend time in my space to relax myself and reduce the stress that can make the bipolar worst. IT can be really challenging to live with bipolar everyday and even with the help of medication it really takes a lot out of me so I use little space as the way of self-care to remind myself I'm important even if the depression is saying I'm not. 

Self-care- this is really important especially for someone with a chronic mental health diagnosis. I will have to live with this forever so I have learned to take time out of my day everyday to work on myself and the things I like.

        Writing

        reading

        coloring/drawing

        self-help books

         bath time 

        cooking or enjoying a meal

        watching silly shows 

        sleeping 

CG support- I received my diagnosis before meeting my CG so I was really open about it. I know telling people can be really scary but it is really important to have people on your side be it your CG or a good friend having people supporting you and loving you can make this so much easier. 

Take care even when it's hard- not just the new-age version of self-care but the general idea = eat, drink water, bath and shower, brush your teeth and spend some time outside. I know when I am on waves it can be challenging to remember to do things to just take care of myself

Learning good coping mechanisms- one of mine is little space but there are millions of ways of coping with things like depression find a few that you like and keep at them to make things a little less challenging 

Take a break- sometimes just taking a break is really important take a moment and just breath it will be really helpful and help you focus on yourself and your needs. 

Do what's best for you- if this means cutting out bad people, napping at noon, eating a special diet, what ever you find helps that doesn't hurt you or someone else just do it, you know what's best for you. 

I know this didn't focus on little stuff but I hope it helped someone.
