I (try to) have my kids take off their sports clothes right after we get home and take them straight to the laundry room so they get washed in the next load since they’re right in front of me… then I keep them high on the top shelf in their closet so they don’t get mixed back in and we have to go hunting for it!

I second Dr Murphy at BSW! He is one of my dearest friend’s husbands! He is wonderful!!!!! I’ve sent my parent’s friends to him as well and they all rave ab him!

If it’s baby #2,3, etc I always get a gift card for a pedicure for momma! Or get a few friends together to split a gift card for a spa day!

We love Geronimo Stilton books!!!

Following bc Same girl same!!!!!

Hey! Does anyone else’s child have night terrors when over tired?!? Or intense and alarming fever dreams?!? Do I need to talk to our pediatrician?!? He describes weird things ab his eyes and distorted vision when we discuss the next morning.

Have you looked into skiing in Europe! Put alerts for flights! It is far more affordable!!! For example, Ski School in Zermatt for a full week 9-3:30 with lunch included is $589! 2 weeks of rentals for both my kids was $270! I forgot to include that kids life tickets are FREE until they’re 9!!!!! And after that it’s 1/2 price… Which is still waaaaaaay cheaper than in the states. Many European destinations are part of the epic or icon pass if you already have one!

@bluedolphin highly recommend adding some fingers to the experience…

I saw 3 doctors a few years ago… one in Austin and 2 in Dallas. Hands down, Rami Choucair in Dallas!!!!!!! Honestly he had the best price too!

I feel this way too sometimes… but then I remember, ppl love a good rec… especially one they can try without buying! Win-win! I have a fav pancake mix from a restaurant in Aspen, and when I order, I always throw in an extra bag bc I’ve gifted it several times!!! Diva detergent from Amazon is always fun! Pretty candlesticks with tapers! My fav mascara is always a hit! Your fav cocktail mixings with a bottle of liquor wrapped up cute! Just something you know you really like that ppl wouldn’t necessarily buy themselves!

Mushrooms are suuuuuper fun!!!!!! A very happy, pleasant experience if taken in the right amount. Occasional nausea experienced, but try a snack and ride it out… should be a good time after that… lots of belly laughs and cheer!

I have several recs for products:
Eden direct.com… the gummies are bomb!
Dr Sparkle Bars… referral name is Forrest Greg

Just came across this article… not sure it helps but it does provide a lot of food for thought!

Agree… pretty broad question… especially if you haven’t decided between public or private… might want to narrow that down and ask again with a few more specifics. Education is struggling in general… the state of Texas is one of the lowest out of all 50 for public school funding…. People need to start with how they’re voting… even Eanes isn’t immune to the struggle.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! I had issues getting pregnant and went through all the things. After having 2 children my body went into overdrive and I spent more time on my period than off. My dr recommended an ablation… super easy procedure, no down time, never looked back. I have had a few months where my body tried REALLY hard to have a period again… intense cramps and back pain, but manageable. I spoke with my dr last annual and they said track it, in case it becomes more frequent. I haven’t felt the need to do so, so all in all I’d call it a success.

Former teacher with a June boy… send him! Def collect opinions from their preschool teachers and seasoned friends if you want…. But whatever you think is best is best!!! You know your kid better than anyone else! Just remember a KG teacher’s job is to teach KG… not 1st grade bc some ppl choose to hold their child. Of course all teachers meet their kids where they’re at, but they are beholden to KG curriculum, not kids who’ve been red-shirted. Also… it’s REALLY hard to fail KG!!!!!!! Most kids who repeat kinder do so bc of a lack emotional maturity rather than academic… keep in mind that even if your child is being held back bc of a late birthday they can still struggle academically. One does not cancel out the other. Listen to your momma heart… it knows!!!!

Also… GRACE FOR THE TEACHERS!!!!!!! That is a hard freaking job and you’re worried about your ONE kid while they have a whole class to worry about!!!!!! Just try to have perspective and patience and lead with love and grace!!!!!

Excellent suggestions above!!! Grace upon grace upon grace….. for everyone!!!!!!!!! Def meet with a snack and say as little as possible… unless your kid is bubbling with info! Set some time for them to decompress, then get outside for some fresh air!!! I got a lot of info in the bath at night… low pressure, just chatting and learning about their day. Main thing is follow THEIR lead and grace for you, your kid and your family!!!!!!
