We’re in austin so it’s a little easier with the nice weather but we are doing all play dates outside during winter break. 50% of my child’s elementary school was absent largely due to flu A before going out on break. Oof!
Other than that washing hands, currently detoxing sugar from Christmas, getting outside in sunshine everyday, all the normal stuff
I’m hoping to read more in 2025. I’d love to know what made the top of your list this year??
We allow them with very few families who we know extremely well who parent similarly and it has to be 1:1. In our experience when it’s a group is when things go south. It’s rare and a special thing for us. My kids ask all the time though. I actually think my kids like the idea of it more than actually enjoying the sleepover
Healthy-ish chicken pot pie. So easy, my girlfriend who is a terrible cook gave the recipe to me. Everyone in my fam loves it which rarely happens
What are y’all getting your girlfriends who have everything for their bdays?
I’m not an expert, just a mom, but I would try sitting in a chair in his room to start. Then when he conquers that move to standing in his room. Then standing at the door, then standing outside the door etc
It’s exhausting 🫠
I hate it so much but my kids LOVE it. It’s actually a great motivator for goals and behavior for the kids bc our elf leaves notes complimenting their hardwork.
Our elf comes Dec 1 and brings some games for the family to play together. Godspeed!
Park City, UT if you don’t mind the cold. Utah is crazy family friendly with lots to do
We have an aqua sauna reverse osmosis at our kitchen sink. We want to do the entire house but the installation price was astronomical
I previously used beauty counter. Would especially love if I could buy at ulta or Sephora. Thanks!! Also would really really love links 
I’m also interested in this as we don’t currently own tablets. If we fly then my kids watch a movie on a shared laptop and use a headphones splitter or they each get an air pod.
Doona, bouncer, something to hold the baby hands free
Wowwwww I could’ve written this. Following!!
Agree with the app, we have rocket money (or something like that). Sadly my door dashing had to go down once we could see the total. It adds up quick!!
Dissolvable Tylenol!!
Make breakfast tacos ahead of time and freeze them individually and wrap in foil. When ready to eat pull out of freezer, wrap in a damp paper towel and heat!
In total honesty, I’m not even sure my husband could handle white couches. But I’m wishing you all the best on this journey!!!
No shoes, no food, wash hands, keep folex close
This used to STRESS ME OUT when my kids were babies. I remember pushing bedtime either later or earlier by 15min every few days leading up.
Do your same routine. And if it gets crazy just know it won’t last forever. Maybe a few rough days
