    My husband and I are struggling to decide where to send our 4 yo son to pre-K next year. There’s a public school right by our house. Ratings are pretty terrible and he would be the minority (both race and socioeconomically) which I’m not opposed to, but something I haven’t personally experienced. There’s two private schools we are considering but both faith based and we aren’t religious. Great ratings but very little diversity.

    I want to give him a great education but also want him to be well rounded and know there’s a world outside his upper middle class white bubble.

    Ughhh how do you decide what’s “right”?

    Our 4yr old son was recently diagnosed with autism. We are processing and we know it will be okay and fine etc but it's a lot of "now what"....what are next steps? We feel paralyzed

    Send me your favorite meals to make friends that just had a baby, have an illness or just need something taken off their plate. I need some new ones!

    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?

    I have a 15 month old baby who loves water. I would love to get her into swim lessons but don’t want it to be a waste of time doing the classes since she already has no problem with water in her face or even me dunking her in water. I’ve heard a lot about those survival classes. I’d love to hear the good and the bad for any class/place! Thank you in advance!

    I have waited too long and I need to get my kids passports in less than 6 weeks. Do I still need to expedite it, and if so where do I start and are there any recommendations of places to go in Austin?

    All the tips would be greatly appreciated!

    I've been a stay at home mom for the past 6+ years, married for 10 and always relied on my husbands job. I want to start making my own money, saving for trips, bathroom remodel, nice jewelry etc. Where can I find a job that allows me to juggle the house work (laundry, meals, cleaning, drop off, pick up, after school classes etc) and actually make some money? IS THIS A UNICORN I'M LOOKING FOR?

    If you have a busy schedule and often find yourself eating on the go, grabbing a fresh and filling meal can make all the difference. Subway offers a variety of options, whether you need a quick breakfast before work or a satisfying lunch during a break. You can explore different choices and see what fits your budget by checking out the Subway menu in the UK.

    For Sale: Pikopye's Town

    Hey moms, the former Pikopye's Town space off S. Lamar is ready to be taken over. Unfortunately the business was mismanaged and closed a month-ish ago. The Lakeway location is owned independently from this one.
    The opportunity is to buy the furniture, fixtures and equipment currently in the space, taking over the lease, etc.
    There are business manuals + computer and POS software that were left behind so you could continue operating pretty soon. I think there is a LOT of upside to this business, though, and could be sooo fun for a local Austin fam.

    Lease Term: 36 months Free Rent: 2 months gross rent ($23,042)

    If there's interest I'll link a Google Doc with the details for who to contact to tour the space.

    Career advice

    Hey team,

    I currently work from home for a title company. What I do is a little “nichey” and am not necessarily looking to stay in the industry. While I do have some flexibility and autonomy I’m not challenged whatsoever and there’s no upward mobility in this role. Add in a funky housing market and I’m simply not making enough money to support our family. I’m looking for something new and don’t know where to start. I need and want flexibility with two young kids but also want a promising, fulfilling career path. Preference to working from home/hybrid. I’m open to looking to new industry. My career trajectory has been more of a jungle gym than a straight line but my experience ranges from nonprofit, design industry and now title industry. Would love to network with any of you that might have some experience with this!

    Neighbor dog barking

    We have new neighbors renting the house next door to us. The houses are close together and their dog barking is driving me crazy. It’s off and on all day long (deep and loud). And if we are outside, he barks at us right at the fence. I haven’t yet met this new neighbor….what do I do?! If you’re a dog owner, would you be offended if your neighbor voiced their frustration with your dog?

    Who do you love following on IG?

    A friend is moving from Atlanta and asked me for Austin-based mom content creators who talk about parenting, pregnancy, or local places to go with kids. She has a toddler and one on the way!

    Lately I have been on such a Brighton Butler kick- but I want to give her good local moms to follow! (Besides Kathleen Jennings obvi.)

    Any favorites she should follow? Thanks y'all.
