Get a good carrier for your back or invest in the Tush Baby! OR lay the brown roller paper down on your kitchen floor, tape it down with painters tape next to you, and give her crayons or stickers so she can "play" but still well within your orbit. Ugh. So hard - these velcro kids! Here's the paper I'm talking about: https://amzn.to/4iBL2gl

We feel this way about our youngest, and we both read Hunt Gather Parent. It really did help & I was so appreciative of some of the principals & I do think it applies to all ages. Another good resource is Dr. Becky Good Inside. A lot of good content on her website for your sons age.

Oh gosh! Ok, in no particular order but here are the books I wish I could read again for the first time:

• Funny Story by Emily Henry
• Wedding People
• The Women by Kristen Hannah
• Educated
• Malibu Rising (and any/ever Taylor Jenkins Reed book!)
• Never Finished by Dovid Goggins
• Atomic Habits

ENJOY!!!

I dread and hate the idea of packing school lunches for the next decade+. My kids are 2 and 5. My oldest can't have: soy, egg, peanut and tahini in her lunch due to allergies in the class (fml). Any favorite Pinterest links or accounts you follow on IG for lunch ideas?

I've stopped drinking, but find myself missing the ritual of an evening glass of wine.
