Welcome to MomBrain

Favorite date night ideas that don’t revolve around alcohol? Would be interested in girlfriend meet ups that aren’t happy hour too.

For a mid 30s mom who knows nothing about skin care and has always been bare minimum wash face & use moisturizer... needing to do better. Any good tried & true recommendations on what to do on a daily basis? Daily sunscreen/moisturizer that is thin and goes under make up well?

We are starting from scratch in our house and I'm looking to implement systems that help my kids pick up after themselves. I have come to the realization that I can't pick up after everyone, there's simply not enough hours in the day! Chore charts? Natural rhythms? Want to hear it all, please!!

Has anyone found a digital calendar for the family that works? I keep seeing ads for the skylight but wasn’t sure if anyone has it and can provide feedback on it or any others they’ve tried.

My husband’s family has 7 cousins under 5yrs old. Where would be a great destination where everyone would be reasonably happy?

My kids love milkshakes but i'm looking to swap this Summer habit with a delicious protein shake. What are your favorites? My kid's fav flavor is cookies and cream. Thank you!!

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

This is SUCH a struggle because I was never taught about my hormones! And now at 34 I am learning about my own body!

I wanted to share with the Mombrain community an upcoming event in Austin on Friday, May 17th at Vintage Book Store about this topic!

There's a woman named Bailey who wrote a book and is on a mission to give girls a better foundation by providing hormone education early!

She'll be selling copies of her books + hosting a discussion about this topic but she also does 1:1 coaching!

I have found myself working through lunch and then realizing at 2:30pm that I'm starving and then I'm not hungry at 6pm with the fam for dinner. What are y'all eating for lunch during the week that you can easily prepare ahead of time or quickly throw together?

Mother's Day is coming up...do y'all buy your own gifts for holidays? Or is it just me...

What is your FAVORITE bra that you've found now that you're left with your post-baby boobs? Like...actual bra...not a bralette or a sports bra...

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”.

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!

Does anyone have any helpful tips for routines and things that help you keep your life together as the cruise ship director of the home? I feel like I’m organized but this may just not exist and all I can do is the best I can do 😂 husband is great and I can give him direct instruction but any tips to help maintain some semblance of routine/organization with all facets of life?

One of my friends was telling me about this cotton stick (sorta like a tampon) that you insert after having sex and it soaks up all the cum/juice/whatever all that stuff is hahaha is this legit?? It would be nice to not have cum dripping out of me the next day even after I pee and shower.

Anyone dealing with hemorrhoids after birth? Spill the tea.

Does anyone have a favorite company or have tried Factor or Cook Unity? Husband travels for work so looking for a healthy & convenient option when it’s just me.

What books have you found yourself delighted to read to your kids for the first few times?! Inevitably you will read them 100s more times and they will lose their luster… but they can bring joy for a bit!

For my 4 year old: the book with no pictures, Snatchabook, Bear Snores on, Color blocked, Giraffes can’t dance, stand back said the elephant, what would Danny do (was fun in the beginning)

For the younger kids (2 and under): The belly button book by Sandra Boynton. Go Dog Go. Sheep in a jeep. I even loved the pout pout fish the first time I read that.

What else is out there?

What are some strategies to improve my toddler’s eating habits? Will eat all fruits and always wants snacks, not substantial food! We put out a meal and its barely touched. Frustrating! Lots of wasted food.

As someone who doesn't currently have kids, I would love to know how to actively support my friends that do. I never want to be in the way because I know the "sometimes it's just easier to do it myself" is a real thing.
