Welcome to MomBrain

Hi Mamas, I am reeling over the Texas Hill Country tragedy and need to find a way to help. There are a ton of posts about where to donate, and I’m working on getting supplies tomorrow to donate (like many of you!) I’d love an expert to tell me how to best explain this to our kids. It is appropriate to share? Do I just keep it surface level and say other people need our help when we donate supplies tomorrow? How much information do we give them but still teach them that support in our community is needed right now.

Anyone have recs for a wide brim sun hat that can get wet but still look somewhat cute?

Has anyone had a colonic? What can I expect? Would love to hear your experience. Doing it to hopefully flush everything out. Sorta nervous and also wtf am I doing?

For my pickier kid eaters, what multivitamin / kids supplements do I really need to have them to take?? What makes the most impact?

This may sound silly, but I'm looking to buy reusalbe Birthday decorations for my kids b-days. Do you have any favorites you like? I don't want it to be a cluster or tangled up every time I put it away in a box (lol). I want some fun decor to be able to easily pull out every time. OR - any b-day traditions you like to do every year? Like a specical plate or decor. Would love all the ideas!

Looking to replace alcohol with a thc canned beverage. What’s your favorite? I’m not a huge fan of sweet. Margarita is my “goto” cocktail. Thanks!

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!

I've never really known what normal protocol looks like. Occasionally I have ordered a pizza or something, but does anyone have a standard practice on this?

Hi! I am a 34H, size 8ish. Where can I buy one pieces that offer great support but aren’t too cheeky? I have the one piece from JCrew, also have some Summersalt ones but I feel like I need more bust support. Is there such a thing without spending five million dollars??

What is a good age for little kids first fire work show?

Hi! Looking to replace/upgrade my kids plates and bowls. Does anyone have any they love/recommend? Thinking not plastic. TIA!

Looking for some new luggage but there are so many to choose from. We need more than just carry ons, something with large options and good wheels. Do you have one you love?

Pretty sure i'm addicted. How do I stop? Everything I buy we use (for the most part) but it is still just stuff we don't NEED. I'm spending way too much for the convenience and I've noticed the quality of items has gone down and I'm terrible with returns. I need to drastically cut back but I also work full time so need the convenience???? Anyone else????

My 5 year old is still walking on his toes. I have always watched carefully he is meeting mile stones and possible signs for autism. My son is very social and active. Any suggestions? Thank you!

I have approx. 5 weeks left of maternity leave for my third child. This will be the first time I am returning to work full time in the office (with monthly work travel involved as well). What tips/tricks do you have when it comes to scheduling/managing home and work/childcare hacks/breastfeeding while traveling for work? I’m all ears for anything!
