  • Kids Non-Toxic Mattress

    I am looking for a non-toxic, preferably organic, kids mattress. I know kids need firmer mattresses, but I am unsure if I should get one specifically for kids or if they could use any. Does anyone have any suggestions of ones you love? I know Avocado, Green Mattress and Naturpedic are choices people like but they are SO expensive. Do any more budget friendly options exist?!

  • Affordable pediatric dental care

    We were quoted $2500 for my 4 year old to get some cavities filled with conscious sedation. (Don’t judge we literally are great brushers). Any way I took his radiographs to two other dentists just to confirm the diagnosis and they both agreed with the proposed plan from the pediatric dentist. So we are 100% going to treat, but I’m now motivated to price shop if that’s even a thing. Willing to drive across the state (we are in ATX). We have FSA funds to cover the $2500 but don’t want to drain that as we have other health expenses too. Any ideas??

  • Bullying at school

    How do you handle bullying at school? Not talking anything threatening physically, and these are young kids, but when do you chalk it up to boys being boys or escalating to parents/school?

  • Husband is Depressed

    I can tell my husband is depressed. He has been for a while and I’m just unsure how to support him right now. Not to mention we have 3 kids and I’m feeling super burnt out carrying the emotional load of the family. He’s snappy with the kids and it’s the biggest turn off. Any ideas to help him get back to normal?

  • My Kids Seeking Connection and Need Ideas

    Hi! I can tell my kids are all seeking attention from me. Which honestly is exhausting but I know is important.
    I'm looking for ideas on how to fill their emotional buckets that are also enjoyable for me. I do not like imaginary play...eeek.
    Favorite board games, outside games, crafts, date ideas? Hoping to take advantage of this during Summer months.

    Looking for advice on any good products/shampoos or home remedies for chlorine green hair for my very blonde daughter. We have done the special swim shampoos, tried conditioner before she swims, rinse it right away, etc. She hates a swim cap and we are barely into swimming weather and it’s already mermaid green!

  • Summer babysitting rates

    Curious, do most people do a flat weekly rate or hourly rate for their summer babysitters? We do hourly right now for the afternoons she helps us but it will add up quickly with her helping us more this summer.

  • 3 year old summer birthday party ideas in Austin

    Anyone have any ideas for locations to do a 3 year old birthday party in Austin? It’s in early June so will be HOT. It’s also a large group so we don’t want to do it at our house. Any parks that are particularly shaded?
