    1 year old bday gift

    @ejfan291 Rice bin with a few kitchen tools like spoons and spatulas or measuring cups or funnels. The really nice ones have 5 lb or more of rice in a big shallow sterlite tub with a lid.

    Struggling to do “everything” *venting*

    @marknjohson EBF 5 month old is very important information. I know nursing is a huge part of your day. When I was there, I was very lucky that my kid loved to sit on my lap and nurse while I did my work from home job. And liked to nurse in the front pack while I did chores. That...

    Struggling to do “everything” *venting*

    @marknjohson I am here with you and digging myself out bit by bit. Start with your top 2 aggravations. I bet you know what they are. Ask yourself, if they are tasks, how would your family cope if you were hit by a bus? Then implement that plan. Or if it is a condition (thing in the hallway...
