We’re looking at a 12” cooling memory foam Casper mattress - does anyone own this? Would love some reviews!

My almost three year old still asks for milk before bed, and 2 out of 5 nights he'll wake up asking for milk. I'm afraid he'll be full of cavities any day now. Has anyone been through something similar?

Hi mamas! I have a middle school boy who runs around with the neighborhood boy gang having fun, which sometimes includes ding dong ditching houses (all at a reasonable hour- like 7 or 8 pm). We have a neighbor that has lost his mind and is a total jerk about it. Growing up I considered this good clean fun. I have told my son to leave this house alone but it begs the question- is this an acceptable pastime or does it need to be left in the 80s and 90s? Thanks!!

Has anyone had the mommy makeover? I’m now 3 years postpartum after 4 kids and the stomach is…not the vibe anymore. If you’ve done it, is it worth it? How do you navigate explaining this and your recovery to young kids?

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

Heading on Spring Break woohoooooo!!! Looking for family games to play on the beach and at the house. Elementary aged. I'm going to try really hard to be good with my phone and keep it away, so something I would enjoy as well. Does this even exist? Thanks!

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!

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?

Ok getting V personal here…my husband loves to go down on me and it is not my favorite and I would like to know if this is the norm or abnormal to not enjoy it that much?? Any tips to help enjoy it more??

We’re looking to hire a night nurse for the birth of our third baby but have never used one before. We feel set on the nurse we’ve found, but I’m curious what the rate should be hourly, how many times you thought you needed one in the beginning (1-6 weeks), any questions we should ask prior to her starting, and just any tips for working alongside one.

I might be done with kids, and I definitely want at least a lift. I’ve debated implants my whole life but at this point, I’m more aware and concerned of the risks. Anyone shed some light on their thought process whether to get or not to get implants? Doctor recommendations?

Has anyone driven from Texas to 30A and have good recommendations on how to break up the drive for kids? Good places to eat, even better if there is a playground at the restaurant etc

About to have our third baby and with two toddlers at home I know I’m going to need some extra hands! What is everyone’s favorite type of support? Babysitter, doula, night nurse etc I need help!

Subway offers a variety of options, whether you need a quick breakfast before work or a satisfying lunch during a break. You can explore different choices and see what fits your budget by checking out the Subway menu in the UK.

I’m so burnt out. Burnt out of being a mom, wife, employee. Burnt out of deadlines, remembering everything, kids homework and getting them to school in the morning.
I’ve never felt like this before. Any advice on next steps? Obviously taking a break from life is not possible.

My 4 year old is SUCH a picky eater!! I swear her behavior is linked to meals and being hungry. She seems to have such a small stomach and doesn’t even come close to finishing a meal. What can I do?!

I have approx. 5 weeks left of maternity leave for my third child. This will be the first time I am returning to work full time in the office (with monthly work travel involved as well). What tips/tricks do you have when it comes to scheduling/managing home and work/childcare hacks/breastfeeding while traveling for work? I’m all ears for anything!

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
