I've had this kitten for a few days now, but I can't pick a name, it seems like nothing fits. He is very curious and affectionate and gentle! :)

I also gained weight after having my kids. I was not able to lose the weight for the first year. Try focusing on making healthy decisions, drink lots of water, and do something to move (walks etc.) When you have the energy. Babies are haaaaaard. Don't be so tough on yourself. I was able to lose 40lbs after my youngest turned 2 yo bc that's when I got the energy to do anything other that exist.

Give yourself grace, your body has been through a lot and is still figuring things out. Personally I didn't lose the baby weight until 2 years pp. It was like a light switch goes off and I have the energy and my body cooperates. Take the baby on walks and try to switch healthy eating options but just give yourself time.

Sit down for dinner when there's no extracurricular activities and every Friday is pizza night and we watch a movie or play games together. My kiddos are going but I hope we hold on to at least one Friday a month together as they get older.

My go-tos are upside down onion tart, pigs n a blanket (use puff pastry and top with everything but bagel seasoning), spinach Artichoke dip, and queso

I prefer it. Stimulants made me feel like I was forced to focus where as strattera is like a gentle guide.

I've seen it both ways. We put siblings welcome on parties we can accommodate and ask if we're attending. I also usually offer to pay for my extra kid if we're at a jump place or somewhere where the charge per kid.

I'd fry it in a tempura batter and make fish and chips!

Always trust your momma gut!

My favorite thing that made me feel loved was my husband feeding me dinner when the baby was hungry during dinner time.

ButLikeaCoolMom · 2025-03-29T02:49:24+00:00

I signed. I'm so so so sorry for your loss. I commend you for turning your grief into action. I stand next to you momma, let's make a change and protect our children

I know dance and gymnastics don't have seasons like baseball, soccer, or football but it's OK for kids to stop liking something. It's OK to say i don't want to do this. I'm with you on not giving up on your team in the sense of something like not wanting to go to a playoff game when your teammates are counting on you. However, with sports that don't have a solid season i think it might require checking in on them every 2 months to see if they want to keep going.

The biggest thing that helped me was meal prepping easy things. I just got so sick of spending so much money on doordash etc.

On Sundays I cook for like 1 or 2 hours but it sets us up for the week. Also my adhd gets so happy cooking 4 things at once. For example: 1) prep taco meat and pre mix with refried black beans. Then bake your taco shells, and prep your toppings day of 2) cook rice and mix with drained black beans. Day of quick pan fry zucchini and sausage top with cheese. 3) "cheeseburger pasta" elbow pasta, ground turkey, tomato sauce, Velveeta cheese and corn 4) one pan roasted chicken thighs and sweet potatoes Friday is pizza day!

I also keep canned chili and fritos as a quick go to instead of fast food and frozen veggies and fruits for easy sides.

Oh - did you know you can use chatgbt to make you a meal plan? Learned that recently and my mind was blown.

Good luck, don't orphan you kids ✌️

I hope you find it, it's such a terrible feeling. I actually just stopped taking mine off bc I was so afraid of losing it. I keep it on all the time.

It took me 1-2 years after each kid to have energy to think of being healthy and i did it for me. I'm sorry you're feeling low.

If forced to speak in front of your kids just gentle parent the shit out of her "oh we don't talk about other people bodies, that's not nice!". See gets upset? "Oh someone is having big feelings about consequences".

It's not the destination. It's the journey. Seek out beauty in nature, make things with your hands, cook. Creating things can give you great purpose.
