When they’re getting old enough for solid food milk isn’t enough and they wake more often due to hubger and may lose good sleeping rhythm. So you find something that will hold them over.

I am a mess when I’m sleep deprived. There’s no sleep training a child I think. You just go with their natural rhythm and hope they don’t deprive you of sleep to the point you can’t drive or think.

That’s I thought until I was the one working out like a maniac and just a bit of good food would be enough to make me look 5 months pregnant. I think I’ve just accepted that as long as I look good enough, like hot in a mom way where a dress looks good even when I have a soft belly and hips and not super toned arms…

The same way that fit women seem to eat carbs and cake and drink beer and not gain weight. I just don't know.

I’m thinking we gotta change the “it’s okay to spoil ourselves” to “its a must for your health.”

“Oh dad you’re so detached!”

I'd be happier if she was our president.

Lamb roast and lemons!? Come visit me I'll give you whatever attention you want.

For me right now is sitting in a dim light room with a fuzzy blanket reading Jezebel while the kids are next door with my mom. I know she can’t have them for very long because she has reumatoid arthritis. I was hoping to clean the house while they were gone but I figured that a better investment was getting…

Hahaha!

I think it’s a huge relief to recognize were driven by nature to want kids. Just like it’s totally normal to see another hot man and tingles. It doesn’t mean I don’t love and respect my husband. It’s nature. But I don’t have to be a slave to nature.

Your life sounds dreamy to me.

I have a theory that since women’s automatic job of being a mom stopped being the norm people started to feel like they had to make it worth it sidestepping their careers to stay at home with kids. So they tried super hard to maximize it. And it got out of hand because there was money to be made in so many ways by…

Yes this. And like I said in my comment above, I wish I had prepared better by saving money just to hire a part time nanny for myself. Someone to come with coconut water and be with the kids and keep me company. Many times just taking care of myself felt impossible because I was so tired. $600/month would've been…

I think it helps to know its temporary. The child is helpless so it consumes everything of you. For a time.

Just texted my husband a picture asking for it for Mother's Day. With the Irish boozy creamer of course.

I pray my kid won't be like super good with cello because if he has like some ridiculous talent and interest then I'll feel like I must help him develop that and finding great teachers is a bitch. And cellos quickly begin to cost like 10 grand when they are preteens. I know I don't have to but when your child is…

I can't offer advice on alternative perfumes. But obviously the price point bothers you (which to me looks so reasonable being that I love perfume so much.) so what I can say is: look at your finances. Pick the few things in a month that you don't need and spend money on and wouldn't mind skipping for the sake of your…

I have to find ways to braid it and give it love. I think I've fallen in love with my hair because apparently it's not common to have so much healthy and thick black waivy hair like mine, but I've been fighting so hard for a decade to crack the code on my health and my skin and my hair have taken the journey with me.…

I think once upon a time short hair meant fresh and sassy and having long and super healthy amazing hair was a big challenge.
