New York with kids tips!

Planning a trip to New York with a 7 yr old girl and 10 year old boy. I have stayed many times as an adult but need some good hotel options close to the things they might want to do. Does Midtown work out well? Please let me know if there were any activities your kids loved, hated, or were underrated! I’m looking at going to the Lion King, Jelly Cat Diner , (FAO Swartz), Sloo-moo, Natural Museum of History, Blue Man Group, Serendipity, and Statue of Liberty. We definitely don’t want one thing to eat up our day. Any tips would be appreciated!

How to manage stress as a stay at home mom?

I have 2 kids, one in kindergarten, other is 1 1/2 and I stay at home with her. I am constantly overwhelmed, out touched, and overstimulated. How do you manage your stress at home with a toddler crawling all over you 24/7?

Best tablet for elementary and tweens?

We did Amazon fires when they were little but needing to upgrade. Is iPad truly the best? I don’t want to have to have to obtain a degree in locking it down with parental controls tho. Used mainly for travel

How are we handling the teen years?

I have a teen and a pre teen. They are driving me nuts! All of the bickering and just plain being rude to each other. The one is learning to drive and thinks she knows everything there is to know while the other won't wear deodorant!

Flying with a puppy?

We are planning to get a puppy and flying to pick it up (long story, but it's from a family friend we know and trust). We will be on a 2.5 hr direct flight home, I have it registered with the airline, getting a carrier, but looking for any advice if you have flown with a new animal!

Is life just so expensive or how do I spend less money????

I swear we have tried to budget for the last 6 months and it is SO hard. I am wondering if moving to a smaller city would help, or it's all the same. I feel like these days you have to be making $500K to live comfortably and save any money if you live in a bigger city (aka houston, dallas, charlotte, etc.).

Anyone have experience with pregnancy loss with mono/di twins?

We lost one of our mono/di (identical) twins around the 14 week mark. Nothing I read online about health and survival rate for the surviving twin is great… I’m looking for success stories with twins who originally shared a placenta only. Thank you.
