Hi, I guess I’m officially old bc I’m excited to order a long sleeved rash guard for the summer. Any links or places I should look? Does a chic rash guard exist? Thanks!

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.

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?

A very close friend is persistent I need nice silverware please help as she will judge - send all the recommendations!

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?

The flies are OUT of control around our house and in the house...fruit flies are also terrible!! Our garbage is around the side of our house and they are swarming the garbage cans, but they slowly make their way inside. Does anyone have any tips/tricks to get rid of these things???

Hi! We make smoothies regularly and my kids love them, but I’m trying to find ways to add protein without ruining the flavor. Any no-taste protein powders you love? We’ve tried milk, milk alternatives, cottage cheese, yogurt, Fairlife protein shakes…but all give it too much of a milky flavor. Would love some ideas! 💡
