Lately I am not sure what is going on. But I swear I am slowly losing my mind. I literally can’t remember a thing! It is terrible, I blame it on Mom brain, but I swear it is getting worse. As soon as I think of something and tell myself not to forget, it’s gone. FOREVER! The thought completely leaves my brain and it never comes back, ok, so maybe it comes back but it takes a while. So I have a new method, I carry around my trusty notebook and try to write EVERYTHING down. You see, I already keep a planner, yep the old fashioned ones where I write it all down along with my iCal on both my phone and computer but I am telling you if I don’t write it down it doesn’t exist in my brain.
Do you have to write everything down? Do you have any tricks for keeping your head straight? The tough part is, most of my best ideas come at times that I don’t have my notebook or I am driving and I can’t write them down. Why does every stroke of brilliance come at the exact moment that I know will escape me? I used to have the best memory but now it seems as if I have no memory at all. I am not even joking.
P.S. How cute is my bag from Dagne Dover. This TOTE is not only AMAZING but it holds everything you need and more and is super stylish, it even has a compartment for my computer! You can’t lose anything because every single thing you need has a compartment. I love it! And how cute is the Pink Essentials Clutch Wallet, it is great to grab out of my purse and go if I don’t want to bring my big bag. Plus is it big enough to hold my notebook and planners so I can keep my thoughts straight!
Two of my favorite things, purses and notebooks!
Beverley Notebook by my favorite Minted because of course I need my name on it, just in case I forget it is mine.

I felt like this after my second child I thought I had lost my mind at times my memory was so bad, I also noticed mild on going headaches … it took 7 years to be diagnosed but turns out i have IIH. Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension. It affects 1 in 100,000 people. I also wear Glasses now. Luckily they found it before the pressue on my optic nerve was irreversible, as it can lead to you going blind. Hope your ‘baby brain’ is just that and improves in time. 🤞 best wishes to you and your beautiful family.
