Hi all,

I'm a soon-to-be mother and I was wondering how everyone manages household chores and child care especially in the first year. I don't have much help on my side and I am nervous about how I will manage all my time 😣


If anyone has any tips pls lmk

first off, congratulations!


the best advice i can give you is to create a schedule and routine for you and your baby. have dedicated time for feeding, playing and napping. then, see how much time it takes you to do daily chores like cleaning your bedroom/bathroom/kitchen, cook meals, folding laundry, etc. and try to incorporate it while your little one is napping.


multi-taking will also be your best friend. having a baby wrap was essential when my son would wake up early or need his mom by his side to fall asleep. clean as you go.


lastly, know that every day may not go exactly to plan, but you're trying your best. you got this! you're in the right place, we got your back!

Just found this video with 3 different snacks for the kids https://www.youtube.com/shorts/qKw36ZbaR80


Such a good way to make use of my extra groceries !


Do you guys have a favorite plan-ahead snack ?

My favorite snack for my kids has to be the 4 ingredient watermelon sorbet. I found a really simple recipe for it under Healthy Eating

Hi Ashley, I was in this position a few years ago when I started running so I completely understand where you're coming from 😮‍💨 since you have 2 months I'd suggest starting off slow with long walks and working up to running longer distances.

This video also might be helpful for you. Good luck! 😄

Cheap, fun, family-friendly places or events

Hey guys, my in-laws are coming to our place for Thanksgiving this year. I'm trying to find fun places for the entire family to participate without breaking the bank. There will be 6 of us, so theme parks are out of the question 🎢 . . . I want a place where we can all join, instead of just staying at home like usual.


Any recommendations would be much appreciated!! 🙏🏻 🙏🏻

How do I get my kids to eat vegetables?

I'm a mom of an 8 year old child who refuses to eat their vegetables. I've tried different ways of serving them but nothing seems to work. What do I do?

I know the struggle, Deanna. Our family loves this mac and cheese recipe: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DH1TzSupKXq/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link. The kids think my version is "extra cheesy" 🤭
