We did one for Christmas and it has been the absolute best for our family. The kids play together outside, stay moving etc
I do worry about injuries but that’s part of childhood? Try to mitigate by having a net and some solid rules/boundaries

It’s going to take work but it sounds like you’re up for it!
She needs to be set up for success-charts, check lists, reminders, timers, getting on her level when giving instructions, eye contact (not yelling across the house) for any type of directions, reward charts for dopamine
How are her anxiety levels? I might get her evaluated by a LPC for cognitive behavioral therapy.
There are also executive functioning coaches depending on her age.
You can ask her pediatrician or specialist about supplements such as gaba and/or magnesium

Best of luck! It will be her super power one day

Ozempic, Mounjaro, wegovy, I don’t really care. I had a coupon last year and it ran out so I’m open to compounding, telehealth whatever! Aiming to not spend a gazillion dollars

It helps me to have a couple days with a set theme. We always do tacos on Tuesday, pizza on Fridays and my husband grills/smokes something on Sundays. So really I’m just planning Monday, Wednesday, Thursday.

A favorite easy recipe that the entire family enjoys below! Honey mustard chicken

One of the hardest parts about parenting for me. Helpful!

Well your first issue is Vail lol
Look at New Mexico (angel fire, Red River) and less expensive places in Colorado.
Short answer is no, I don’t think ski trip and affordable go in the same sentence but there are definitely less expensive areas than Vail.

I order these in bulk if that tells you anything https://drinkcann.com/

Any advice on making homework less miserable? One of us always ends in tears. I hated homework when I was in school and I double hate it as a parent. Helppppppp waving my white flag before the semester has even started. My later elementary kid has mild adhd.

Where do you feel most aligned? Bc that’s where you will be happiest. Both have pros and cons.
I worked for 10 years and took 1 year off. The change of pace was really nice. I got to do things I normally wasn’t able to do like declutter my house etc
I also wasn’t able to do things like shop as much, buy home decor, host friends at our house etc
Ultimately (after I recovered) I felt like I’m holistically better when I’m working. I just needed a less intense/stressful job.

NOROVIRUS!!! Ahhh it’s the effing worst!! You have to bleach all surfaces multiple times a day, especially the bathroom, for WEEKS. Even after symptoms go away. We had it last year and ended up in the ER for fluids, pain medicine and zofran. It’s awful, hang in there!!!

What’s the deal with a lot of “kid movies” not actually being kid appropriate? Is Mufasa okay for young elementary school age or is it too intense?

I think you nailed it but how stressful. So sorry and wishing everyone a speedy recovery!!

Idk why but the favorite things white elephant parties give me such anxiety. Like im going to be judged for my favorite thing…so dumb I know. Anyways need ideas! Thank you!!

Wow, I’m honestly really surprised by these answers. I think it has to do a lot with how many kids you have, how well everyone is sleeping, jobs/stress at work. Ebbs and flows but about once a month right now. We’re just in an exhausting season but we both realize that and connect in different ways too

Yep, it’s a thing. We have these and they work well and pass the toxic test.

thanks

Our family has been through this more times than I’d like to admit. Once you get lice, you’re more susceptible to getting it again (the lice release a pheromone). Keep checking and stay diligent!!! Good luck!!!
