I got a box of Valentine’s cards & stickers for $1 for my 2 yr old, and there’s parents out here making custom wooden coasters for theirs. Honestly respect the commitment, just so glad I’m at that stage of motherhood where this doesn’t make me feel like I didn’t do enough.
@Albi_SideArms@osnapsteph I am so late to this but I still wanted to say congratulations!!!! Super happy for y’all! Enjoy that Cloud 9 before the stress of wedding planning sets in as much as you can!
Having kids means letting them convince you to try to make the cookie from Squid Games on a Wednesday night 😬😅
Side note: None of them have watched the show. (Just the Mr. Beast version). The cookie recipe popped up on my daughter’s YT algo and she wanted me to make it haha.
“Buy Nothing” groups on Facebook give me such hope in humanity. The kindness in people gets brought out and it’s amazing to see the community come together to help each other in need.
I often hear that your kids are watching the way their parents treat each other even if it doesn’t seem like they are. I had an intense headache today and my oldest daughter said, “Why don’t you go lay down and I’ll take care of the kids?” Larry says those words to me a lot 😭
@SquatchyLS Ahh congratulations!!! She’s so precious! The first month always feels like I’m riding on a 100 MPH train but the bonding with baby and teamwork with partner makes it such a sweet time ☺️ Wishing mama a quick recovery! 💪🏼
Parents love talking about their child’s first smile or steps, but not enough are talking about the first time they make a cup of coffee for you!
I said I was tired and my 8 year old daughter asked, “Do you want me to make you some coffee mama?” (Apparently Larry taught her) 🙌🏼
8 year old daughter: “My new book from the library is about a big blizzard in 1888.”
Me: “Ohh that sounds interesting.”
Daughter: How old were you in 1888?
💀
When imagining my life as a mom, my parenting bingo card did not have “Disguising a turkey for my 2 year old daughter’s preschool homework” on it. It took so much longer than I’d like to admit 😅
