Whipped through this today. Great way to launch into the new year.

After successfully dodging Covid since 2020, it hit me like a ton of bricks and took 13 (dark line rapid testing) days to clear my system. Happy to be done but please stay home if you’re sick (or still +) people. If I had come out at Day 5 who knows how many I may have infected

It’s finally happened- the CVS is pharmacy waiting line is finally as long as one of its receipts

My bestie gifted this subscription to me and this article stood out. Everyone could use some more people watching out for them when things don’t go as planned. Thankful for you @KatePaglia⁩ for knowing the answers to my list by heart https://t.co/NSMzLhDtrd

My five year old can’t blow his nose. But is congested and that triggers his asthma. So now we give him $1 each time he allows us to use the Nose Frida. Kindergarten Entrepreneurial spirit right there.

The 19-year old me trapped inside this middle aged body is screaming with joy that #EverythingButTheGirl is coming out with a new album after nearly 25 years

Somehow this year’s Halloween prep is more exhausting than the last two years of holiday shopping. Perhaps the stress of my 8yr old asking me if she could try on crop tops was the final straw

An old friend just wished his wife a happy birthday and described her as the cream in his coffee. I just love that.

Waking up to read that a former teacher colleague passed away. When you’re small you focus on making friends but no one really preps you for surprise loss of them in their 40s.

Trying to understand how green noise is supposed to be better than white noise for insomnia? Maybe it’s thinking about the difference that’s going to put me to sleep

Cool tradition at our kids’ school. They research a person from history and dress up like them, and present 3 facts on Halloween and their classmates guess & learn. She just read Betty White’s biography, and decided on her since she’s an animal advocate & comedy star. 🥰

The Sunday night 2am scaries that a 5yr old has about leaving you the next day for school is just about as heartbreaking as it gets

[Erica DeRosa @ericaderosa]

‘No, you can’t marry a Skittle’ is something I never anticipated explaining

[Erica DeRosa @ericaderosa]

Grief is the proof that love once existed. -a poster on a bulletin board I glanced at, and now it’s all I can think about this week.

Champion stress eating on a day off with your children looks making them a healthy lunch and then having a cupcake and a piece of ice cream cake as your lunch

I overheard someone today tell their friend that folding laundry alone doesn’t count as self care and that she needed to let that sink in.

[Erica DeRosa @ericaderosa]

Well now I know how to get gum out of hair. I’m kind of shocked it took me 8 years of parenting to have to Google that one but here we are

[sarah @sablaah]

omg thanks for ending the meeting 4 minutes early and "giving me some time back" -- now I can finally pursue my passions

[Erica DeRosa @ericaderosa]

There are few things more painful than having a teacher pry your sobbing Kindergartner’s arms and legs off of you at drop off.
