There was another post with tons of recommendations on this, I bought a couple of the recs!

Here is the question: https://www.mombrain.com/topic/340/swimsuit-that-sucks-in-pooch?_=1749484677194

The hardest thing as a working mom is attempting to eat healthy, but not having any time to meal prep during the day. The last thing I want to do at 5 pm when i get home is spend all my time cooking a healthy dinner and taking that time away from being present with my kids.

Asking what's everyone doing?? Has anyone tried those meal planning services, or chefs in your house, or anyone have any recommendations?

I am looking for like 3 meals per week to be cooked and ready to go/be ready to be heated. We are really trying to eat healthy so someone who is health conscious would be a huge plus.

Located in South Austin, so anyone in west or central or south would work!

I've been on the search for similar shorts...mom shorts not butt hanging out shorts. Here are a few I have ordered and loved:

1. Amazon shorts

2. Really loving athleta for all their clothes, designed for the mom! I have these ones: Athleta Shorts

3. Outdoor voices longer short

Columbia brand also had some good options to check out.

Someone once told me its important to have prostaglandins as an ingredient for it to actually work well — like Latisse, GrandeLASH and RevitaLash.

I use Babe Lash — it's like GrandeLASH but cheaper from Costco. I know some people have side effects like dry eyes etc, but I haven't had issues yet.

I have waited too long and I need to get my kids passports in less than 6 weeks. Do I still need to expedite it, and if so where do I start and are there any recommendations of places to go in Austin?

All the tips would be greatly appreciated!

We LOVE margarets in Marfa - so delicious!!

love the grid idea @SustainableMama ! We do screen time either right when getting home from camps as "rest time" or the hour before bed. Sometimes its a fight for the hour before bed, so we made it so the TV turns off automatically at the hour mark so its not "me" turning it off.

I am looking into this myself, I've had c sections so the "skin overhang" is really what I am trying to solve and I've heard there is such thing as a skin-only tummy tuck. I've heard good things about Cameron Craven (westlake derm) is a phenomenal surgeon and Dr.Sergio Maggi. Everyone who I have talked to recommended doing a minimum of 3 consultations with 3 different doctors before deciding.

We love the Hu Chocolates, frozen mango chunks, we also started making our homemade ice cream with an ice cream maker. You can literally put any fruit, almond milk etc. and make delicious treats! Fun family activity too.

I love Novilla mattresses- budget friendly and organic! Another good one to look into would be "my green mattress".

Dansk and Oneida are two brands that have a good heavy duty silverware option.

Mine got so bad, I went to the doctor and got them removed. Most of the treatments are done right in the doctor’s office, don’t require any anesthesia, and usually take about 30 to 60 minutes.

It was honestly a pretty easy procedure!

I can totally relate!! Here are a few things we started incorporating that take minimal effort. **important put the phone away during special time!!!

1. go on a walk and let them lead the way and choose whatever ways they want to go
2. watch a show with them (cuddle and hold them, and no phones)
3. color with them (this is actually very satisfying as an adult). I got an adult coloring book that I color and they use their coloring books
4. Coffee shop date - I get a coffee they get a donut or special treat. We sit across from the table and chat .. again key is no phones!!!

You should speak with your doctor, as she may prescribe a different anti depressant that doesnt have that common side effect.

I have found a supplement that helps solve that problem for me (L-Arginine supplement), I am also on Lexapro though which I have had a great experience with.

The flies are OUT of control around our house and in the house...fruit flies are also terrible!! Our garbage is around the side of our house and they are swarming the garbage cans, but they slowly make their way inside. Does anyone have any tips/tricks to get rid of these things???

I have the same issue, and I look for any swimsuit with tummy-control swimwear (warning they are TIGHT and hard to get into, but once your in they do the job). I worked with a stylist who told me tankinis are not my friend, and to look for swimsuits with crisscross or diagonal ruching.

J Crew has some great ones with ruching, and lots of colors: J.Crew Swim Suits
