Welcome to MomBrain

What’s your go-to, quick, easy and yummy dinner?

I’m hoping to read more in 2025. I’d love to know what made the top of your list this year??

We have enjoyed House of Cards, Succession, Yellowstone (early seasons), Quarterbacks, Ted Lasso

Soooo, what is a “normal” weekly sex life for a couple with two young kids?? Anyone else SO exhausted and can’t find the “perfect” time during the day for sex.

Sending my first to kindergarten. Can I get your most helpful tips? Thanks!!

Hi! Looking for advice and experience of people who have gone through similar situation. I have been working since my kids were born, and my oldest is 8 now. I am having trouble finding the balance and motivation to continue working this high stress (tech start up) job, and miss out on my kids younger ages.

Anyone have experience giving up their high paying careers for either part time or staying home?

Scared of the adjustment financially and not having any career at all.

Hoping to lose 10lb before summer!! Aka.. two months. What’s the best way to get in shape quickly and naturally without weight loss meds?! I tried a juice cleanse but I don’t have that in me anymore! Too many kids to keep up with and need to eat 🤪

Working Moms, how do you find time to workout? It's hard in the morning if I don't sleep the night before due to kid wake ups and after work is not happening.

Idk why but the favorite things white elephant parties give me such anxiety. Like im going to be judged for my favorite thing…so dumb I know. Anyways need ideas! Thank you!!

Tell me about edibles. I’ve tried everything to sleep and nothing is working. Melatonin makes me groggy the next morning. Would love to hear what works for you!

I have vaccinated my 6 year old fully and delayed vaccinating my 1 year old. I honestly would like to hear both sides, what makes you pro vax or what makes you anti vax?

I would like to see both sides to make the decision i find best for me and my child. Thank you!

Does anyone’s husband understand that sex / sexual attraction for the woman starts with emotions and the minute they walk into the house?! I would love my husband to ask me out, engage with me/have a conversation etc and then it’s all fair game later and I am much more into it. Trying to navigate how to show him this?!

Hi! We have two sons - one is a summer birthday June, and the other is May. Would love any advice on sending our son to kinder on time and him being on the younger side, or holding him back and him being much older. There are no signs around academics or social that would come into play. Hoping for those moms with older kids to offer advice who have been through it!

Hi! Looking for recommendations on great vacation spots. Family friendly, as our kids are 3, 6 and 8. We were looking into Bahamas, Mexico, but open to anywhere. Looking to go in July timeframe. Not looking for 30A or Destin, done that and feel that its too crowded these days.

Would love recs on places, hotels etc.

Now that Southwest Airlines won’t be much different than the other airlines I’m looking into a new credit card. What is your favorite card?
Most our money is spent on daycare and the grocery store.

I know it depends on the kid but I'm really conflicted. I feel like he's ready but everyone holds their kids back these days, I don't want him to be behind just by default of everyone else's choices.

Has anyone found success being screen-free in the evenings? Like...parents, kids, teens...everybody. We're all face-first in our phones once 5PM hits (guilty too) and missing out on the ONE time of day when we're all together. Tips to get everyone on board?

Hi!

I've never tried mushrooms, but I am seeing all the hype about how Moms these days are turning to mushrooms instead of alcohol. Would love to hear others feedback, as well as where do I start?

Obviously, need a reliable source where to get them as well as the types. I don't want to hallucinate or anything!

Coming from a mama who's never dabbled in them and JUST curious!

Favorite podcasts?? I don’t want anything too heavy that uses a ton of brain power, but also don’t want real housewives numb out level. Something in between. I can learn but not have to focus too much.

Ozempic, Mounjaro, wegovy, I don’t really care. I had a coupon last year and it ran out so I’m open to compounding, telehealth whatever! Aiming to not spend a gazillion dollars
