Recent Best Controversial

  • How to Stop Spending on Amazon?
    B Black Parrot

    Have you tried deleting it off your phone? No app
    Also I have muted or unfollowed any Instagram accounts that are focused on purchasing through Amazon. Fight back against the addictive algorithm!!!! 💪🏼


  • Best clothing rental company/subscription?
    B Black Parrot

    Nuuly for over 30yr olds unless you have a fab event! It actually saves me money bc I get my dopamine hit from “shopping” but wayyyyyyy less than I used to spend actually buying clothes.


  • Best natural bug spray
    B Black Parrot

    We use spray by the brand Kinfield and also use the Buzz Patches.
    It helps but it’s not 100% fool proof. My kids love it though haha


  • Father's Day Ideas
    B Black Parrot

    Blackstone accessories-smash burger smasher thing and a new cover. We also got Meat Church seasonings.
    We’re allllll going to the driving range. It’s all I could manage. I too am feeling burnt out from all the coordinating of Summer


  • Games the entire family enjoy
    B Black Parrot

    I just taught my kids mahjong. They have kid cards now. Even my husband gets into, much more than I anticipated!


  • Favorite Dip/App/Food for lake and/or beach?
    B Black Parrot

    @brown-horse
    Will you send recipes 1,2 and 5 please??


  • Mammograms
    B Black Parrot

    I’m 34 and my (shitty) insurance covered it with no prior family history. Not sure how my OB coded it but I had no issues. I had ultrasound done too. I had dense breast tissue. My OB wasn’t overly concerned but sent me due to the significant increase in young(er) women being diagnosed.


  • Your go to evening healthy-ish sweet treat
    B Black Parrot

    I buy the home made whip cream from the bakery at heb and mix berries and sugar free chocolate chips for a little treat. Just put it all in a little bowl


  • Fav TV Series to Watch with Husband?
    B Black Parrot

    Not a series but we both loved Nonnas on Netflix for a feel good movie.


  • Swimsuit that sucks in pooch
    B Black Parrot

    I just bought one from Dicks the Carrie Underwood line Calia and feel really good in it!


  • Poison ivy SOS
    B Black Parrot

    The absolute worst. We got it bad last summer and this spray really helped.

  • Laundry love
    B Black Parrot

    I also use the wellness company and it’s hands down the best. Non toxic, but works great on all my boys sports clothes and sweaty stuff. It’s also gentle enough for a baby, and it eliminated all of our eczema issues!!!


  • Where should I take my daughter to get ears pierced?
    B Black Parrot

    Our pediatrician did ours!


  • Tongue/Lip Ties in young children
    B Black Parrot

    We had it done on my oldest when he was four and a half years old. We were solving open mouth breathing, sleep apnea like symptoms and speech (he was able to speak but wasn’t make the letters correctly, he sounded very nasally). And yes it helped all of those things. Dr. Evy at green apple was AMAZING and she’s known for being very conservative.


  • Best way to lose weight and get in shape?!
    B Black Parrot

    10lbs is totally doable!! I hate it so much but running is what my body responds best to. Especially sprints/intervals. Decrease alcohol or eliminate if you can. Add in strength training. Watch your diet.

    Or ozempic. But you can totally do 10lbs


  • Screen-Free Evenings?
    B Black Parrot

    Now that it’s staying brighter later, we’ve been eating dinner on the back porch and then staying outside until it’s bath/showers and time to get ready for bed 🙌🏼


  • Oral sex honesty
    B Black Parrot

    I have no idea if it’s the norm or not bc it’s never talked about. But it’s my favorite way to make sure I’m enjoying sex equally as much as my husband. Close your eyes and try to breathe and relax. Or maybe it’s just not your thing which is fine too!


  • Party Favor Bags
    B Black Parrot

    One of my kids really likes them so I do them, not because I want to!
    Tattoos, candy, the punching balloon things, race car (younger boys) have all been used.

    For girls: finger nail polish, sleep eye mask, pens, tattoos, slap bracelets

    We’ve had a custom cookie before that was nice. Bubbles for younger kids.


  • ADHD resources
    B Black Parrot

    I just thought of this, always having a plan helps me. “When I pull in the driveway I’m going to immediately do xyz task” that will keep me from sitting in my car for 20min scrolling bc transitions are hard.
    Or “when I get out of the shower I’m going to put on the orange and pink dress and go fill up my waterbottle” this will keep me from sitting in my bed in my robe for an hour.

    Time blocking my day on my calendar is helpful. Todo lists written out by importance of the task.

    Ear plugs for noise overstimulation.

    People love to joke about it but it actually kinda sucks-while simultaneously being my super power. You got this!


  • ADHD resources
    B Black Parrot

    First, superrrrr common for women to be diagnosed later in life. We are masters at getting done whatever needs to get done…until we can’t-cue motherhood x multiple children+working etc
    I have adhd and have taken medication for it for 15 years. I’ll be honest, getting it filled every month is a huge pain in the ass but I don’t really have a choice.
    Recently I have felt like it’s unhinged and have had so much shame around how my brain works and what I’m able to get done in a day etc

    I know we’re not supposed to do this, but I follow several adult adhd Instagram accounts which help. I’m actually in the process of looking for an executive functioning coach to help me manage. Ugh!
