  • Best Place for Spring Break w/ a 3 and a 5 year old!

    Can be stateside or international, just want somewhere that’s fun for them with good safe kid activities and fun for the parents and grandparents. We’ve done 30A a few times and Cayman Islands last year and loved them all. We usually go for a week so somewhere where we won’t get bored after a few days.

  • Podcast rec!

    Favorite podcasts?? I don’t want anything too heavy that uses a ton of brain power, but also don’t want real housewives numb out level. Something in between. I can learn but not have to focus too much.

  • My 3.5 year old won’t eat vegetables.

    I’ve tried everything - sneaking them in, making them different ways, covering them in cheese, etc. I feel so guilty but is this normal and should I actually be worried? We did start a daily vitamin gummy which makes me feel slightly better.

  • Obsessive cleaning 5 year old? OCD?

    Hi! My 5 year old cleans to self regulate. He’ll vacuum the car, make his siblings beds and during free time at school he likes to sweep. He feels so much better when things are tidy! And also feels very yucky when things are messy or dirty. He literally lugs our huge vacuum up the stairs on weekends and vacuums everything. Our car is the cleanest minivan a mom of 3 kids 5 and under has ever seen! I have two other kids (and he’s a twin) so I believe it’s just in his nature and hoping it’s not me, but at what point do I need to be concerned about OCD tendencies? Anyone else have kids obsessed with cleaning? Or have older children who grew out of this phase? No idea what to tag this lol

  • Minecraft

    I know nothing about Minecraft, but my daughter is obsessed with having this game on her iPad. My husband turned off chat feature etc. but I’m still uneasy. Is this game appropriate for a 1st grader? We limit iPad time to one day per week for specified amount of time.

  • Credit Card Amount per month?

    Our CC bill is always around 20k a month. This includes daycare and utilities. I feel like this is really high? We don’t spend extravagantly-is it really just this expensive to live?

  • Moving to toddler bed— how do I keep my headstrong toddler in his room

    Had to move my 2.5 year old into the toddler bed setting of his crib because he was hurting himself by climbing and falling out. Now he’s stoked on the new freedom and waltzes out of his room a million times. Last night we tried to get him down at 7:30pm but didn’t go to sleep (and we had to go back in each time) until 10pm when he finally let us rock him to sleep. The past year he’s gone down on his own in his crib, no fight. Any tips on what we can do to keep him in his bed and in his room so we can all get sleep? We’ve tried bargaining with him (he’s way too smart), we do the regular calming routine and everything.
