Hi mamas! Has anyone here successfully sold your Snoo? I’ve got questions!

What website did you successfully sell on?
*How much did you ask for?
*How much did you get?

Our Snoo is in great shape and I’d love to get it out of my house and recuperate some of the cash. I’m still staying at home and I’d like to sell our baby items to bring in a little bit of extra money.

My husband recently told me that I’m “not into sex enough”. Honestly this was major news to me as I feel like I’m doing an amazing job by just showing up for him with everything we have going on. Sometimes I’m into it but normally I’m so exhausted I’m like “okay let’s get this done” but again, I’m still showing up…
Help?

My preschoolers need to take a lunch to school each day and they don’t have a way to heat them up. The other day, my 4 year old looked me in the eye, and said deadly seriously, “Don’t EVER send me cold chicken again. EVER.” So I’m looking for inspiration for things to pack in preschool lunches that are kept cold! He doesn’t typically like to eat things cold that are supposed to be served hot (with pasta being an exception weirdly). We’ve done sun butter sandwiches, mix charcuterie (aka pepperoni, cheese, crackers, fruit) and deli meat roll up’s, each with mixed success depending on the kid and the day 🙃 What are some things I’m not thinking of??

What are your go to snacks for travel!? Need decent snacks for airplane travel but also interested in car snacks!

Hi! Looking for recommendations on great vacation spots. Family friendly, as our kids are 3, 6 and 8. We were looking into Bahamas, Mexico, but open to anywhere. Looking to go in July timeframe. Not looking for 30A or Destin, done that and feel that its too crowded these days.

Would love recs on places, hotels etc.

Does anyone have any helpful tips for routines and things that help you keep your life together as the cruise ship director of the home? I feel like I’m organized but this may just not exist and all I can do is the best I can do 😂 husband is great and I can give him direct instruction but any tips to help maintain some semblance of routine/organization with all facets of life?

Quickest remedy for a head cold? Fighting a head cold on top of Spring allergies and would love a quick fix! No time to be sick right now!

My 2 year old isn’t babbling and the pediatrician seems to think it’s okay, but my mom instinct is worried. Should I meet with a speech therapist or am I over reacting?!

On a scale of 1-10 how would you rate your sex drive?

From a tired mom of 2 boys!!! lol

Does anyone have any resources for managing ADHD in adults? I believe that I have undiagnosed ADHD and have mostly managed throughout life/have learned to cope up until now, but I recently saw a job shift and am struggling with a radically different schedule and physical space (working remotely/from home now). Any suggestions? Podcasts? Books? Articles?

My kids love milkshakes but i'm looking to swap this Summer habit with a delicious protein shake. What are your favorites? My kid's fav flavor is cookies and cream. Thank you!!

For medical reasons and a non viable pregnancy my obgyn offered me the choice to take the 2 pills (misoprostal) to attempt to miscarriage or go in for a D&C. Torn what to do and would love others experiences. I’ve heard sometimes the pills don’t work, and it’s also painful and can be a long process. Any advice would be appreciated!!

I find that frequently switching things up can help improve the odds that my kids will actually eat the food and snacks provided. Please send recommendations, with an emphasis on high fiber!

We’re looking at a 12” cooling memory foam Casper mattress - does anyone own this? Would love some reviews!

My almost three year old still asks for milk before bed, and 2 out of 5 nights he'll wake up asking for milk. I'm afraid he'll be full of cavities any day now. Has anyone been through something similar?

Hi mamas! I have a middle school boy who runs around with the neighborhood boy gang having fun, which sometimes includes ding dong ditching houses (all at a reasonable hour- like 7 or 8 pm). We have a neighbor that has lost his mind and is a total jerk about it. Growing up I considered this good clean fun. I have told my son to leave this house alone but it begs the question- is this an acceptable pastime or does it need to be left in the 80s and 90s? Thanks!!

Has anyone had the mommy makeover? I’m now 3 years postpartum after 4 kids and the stomach is…not the vibe anymore. If you’ve done it, is it worth it? How do you navigate explaining this and your recovery to young kids?

We have enjoyed House of Cards, Succession, Yellowstone (early seasons), Quarterbacks, Ted Lasso

Heading on Spring Break woohoooooo!!! Looking for family games to play on the beach and at the house. Elementary aged. I'm going to try really hard to be good with my phone and keep it away, so something I would enjoy as well. Does this even exist? Thanks!
