Welcome to MomBrain

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!

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!

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.

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

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?

Alright mamas, what’s the deal with party favor bags—do we have to do them? Do your kids expect them? We usually toss ours within 24 hours, but I know the kids are always itching for them at the end of a party. I’ve done PEZ dispensers and lollipop holder characters before, and was thinking character ring pops this time… but my husband swears the kids want the full bag. Any ideas for favors that won’t get tossed? It’s for a 6 y/o boy!
