Welcome to MomBrain

What products do you use in your kids hair? I have zero experience with curly hair! My daughter has very fine curly hair and I’m curious about what shampoo/conditioner, should I be using both? What type of brush? What other products? At the moment I’m just using a shampoo (not curly specific) and detangler but her hair dries very frizzy.

Afternoon! I have a friend looking to move to Austin before their kiddo starts Kindergarten. They were set on Eanes but with all the recent announcements (Valley View closing, Spanish immersion struggling) they are expanding their search. Anyone have intel on this either in Eanes or elsewhere in Austin? They are open to public or private school. Thanks!

Last Saturday I was woken up by my teenage daughter (15) sneaking back into the house at 4:00 AM smelling like alcohol and then discovered she had taken a bottle of vodka from our liquor cabinet.

I am going through a lot of emotions about it—scared, angry, sad, disappointed are a few—but not sure exactly how to approach the situation. My main concern is her safety and just want her to ask me and communicate with me about risky behavior.

Does anyone have any advice on what I should do or where this is headed!?! Please help!

Saw all the new research about immediately toss all the black plastic cookware utensils!! What is everyone purchasing instead?!

Considering this but not sure it’s necessary….but would be nice to not have a period anymore since I’m done having babies. Looking for any feedback!

I want to know what your opinions are on all the different water filtration systems. Whole house system vs pitcher for your fridge vs fridge water filter vs stand alone Berkey filter. Whats the best considering prices and health benefits too.

We are a “less is more” for the holidays kind of family, so we typically like to do just one central gift and maybe a book or some pjs etc. Anyone have any unique ideas for a central gift for a 3yo boy? We also don’t do electronics/screens so looking for something outside that box. Any ideas? (He already has a tricycle and a yotoplayer). Heeelllpppopp

We just got the dreaded lice email from school. Freaking out. What do I need to know/do?? Helppppppp

Has anyone dealt with Granuloma Annulare? and if so, did your child also have another condition like EBV? Or recent mono?

I've stopped drinking, but find myself missing the ritual of an evening glass of wine.

Can be stateside or international, just want somewhere that’s fun for them with good safe kid activities and fun for the parents and grandparents. We’ve done 30A a few times and Cayman Islands last year and loved them all. We usually go for a week so somewhere where we won’t get bored after a few days.

Anyone had an ablation done so they don’t have periods anymore?!

Worried about the side effects of stopping that natural cycle, but also interested in all the facts, experiences and pros / cons.

Okay, during your childbirth era, postpartum etc., when did you begin working out consistently? What did it look like? How much grace did you give yourself with a new baby and how much did you pressure yourself to prioritize your physical health and fitness?

What is your favorite BPA free, non toxic cookware brand for pots and pans? Caraway is great in theory but the non stick doesn't last long and I've found the grease stains are hard to clean.

I previously used beauty counter. Would especially love if I could buy at ulta or Sephora. Thanks!! Also would really really love links 😬

What is the best tablet option these days? I know a lot of people have Amazon fire tablets (I don't find them user friendly), but open to them. Would love more info on certain models etc. .

What are y’all getting your girlfriends who have everything for their bdays?

My son loves video games, we don’t have them but he goes to friends houses and plays them. I loved video games growing up, but I know they’ve changed. Would love any research, experience and all the things to help navigate when or never to introduce them, are their healthy good ones out there still?!

i recently joined Thrive Market app and just wanted to share how much i love the selection of products and healthy choices.. If you are like me and really want to dive into healthier snack choices for your family, this has a great selection and the best part is that its delivered to you.
