All the Tea

Tell me about edibles. I’ve tried everything to sleep and nothing is working. Melatonin makes me groggy the next morning. Would love to hear what works for you!

Has anyone found success being screen-free in the evenings? Like...parents, kids, teens...everybody. We're all face-first in our phones once 5PM hits (guilty too) and missing out on the ONE time of day when we're all together. Tips to get everyone on board?

Hi! We have two sons - one is a summer birthday June, and the other is May. Would love any advice on sending our son to kinder on time and him being on the younger side, or holding him back and him being much older. There are no signs around academics or social that would come into play. Hoping for those moms with older kids to offer advice who have been through it!

I think we’re a little young for Harry Potter. Any other recommendations for a fun chapter book or series? Younger elementary aged. TIA!

I know it depends on the kid but I'm really conflicted. I feel like he's ready but everyone holds their kids back these days, I don't want him to be behind just by default of everyone else's choices.

Hi!

I've never tried mushrooms, but I am seeing all the hype about how Moms these days are turning to mushrooms instead of alcohol. Would love to hear others feedback, as well as where do I start?

Obviously, need a reliable source where to get them as well as the types. I don't want to hallucinate or anything!

Hi!

We have 3 kids, and my husband go back and forth if we should have a 4th. Everyone says 3 is the hardest number on a marriage and sibling dynamic. Would love advice from families with 3 that went for the 4th, and ones that are just 3. We have a mix of genders - girl, and 2 boys, all under 7. Youngest is almost 3.

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.

At what age did you stop brushing your child's teeth and let them do it independently? We tried letting our daughter do it for a stretch of time because it was something she really battled us over... that backfired with multiple cavities. When does it become an age-appropriate task to pass on to them without the big dental bills?

Has anyone tried the new Botox that is supposed to last 6 months? Curious about it. I’ve tried Botox and dysport and don’t have a preference fwiw

How to talk to our young kids about what’s appropriate and inappropriate clothing.
For instance, one of my kids, a kindergarten, her friend wears sparkly Taylor Swift sparkly dresses and makeup to school. Having to explain why I don’t feel like that’s appropriate yet her friends mom thinks it’s ok. Explaining why it’s inappropriate, being honest and open about it rather than “because I said so”.

What are y’all getting your girlfriends who have everything for their bdays?

Wanting a tummy tuck after having 4 kids but nervous about the recovery? Can anyone tell me what your recovery was like and anything that helped speed up the process? I can't imagine being down for 6 weeks or even 2 weeks with the kid responsibilities

Has anyone had a boob job where they don't actually insert an implant? Wondering if they are able to do some type of lift, and add excess fat or something from somewhere else in the body!! If you live in Texas, its a plus if you have the doctor name you used!
