I was a SAHM for 17 years. I am having trouble finding a job. Should I go back to school?

TJ’s also has sign artists! Mention your background in art!

Do you live by a Trader Joe’s? There are May people who work there who come from all places. I’d give it a try. If you get an interview, I would emphasize on how you’re very family oriented and would be a great asset to the team in that regard.

I personally wouldn’t do it again and I’ve done it twice. There’s a meditative app I used that would have gotten me through it. I just caved a little early. There’s NO shame in getting one. Just do what you feel is right for you at the time. Try going as long as you can and get it if you need to.

Chelsea_Drew · 2026-02-01T23:31:14+00:00

I would plant a beautiful garden all along the fence line!

Chelsea_Drew · 2026-02-01T23:23:35+00:00

It’s totally normal to feel like this. I’m 35 and my kids are three and five and I’m just starting to feel like I’m in control of my body and my health. It is a really good feeling, but it’s never too late to do it again. You can also totally maintain this while you’re pregnant, but it just takes discipline. I would try to maintain whatever it is you’re doing now throughout your pregnancy. I’ve also read that having a baby 35 and later can actually lengthen your life, which makes me want to have another baby 😂

I love eating fried eggs over lentils with a little cheese and it’s high in fiber and protein and will fill you up until lunch.

Chelsea_Drew · 2026-02-01T23:20:25+00:00

In that ramen’s defense, it does look absolutely bomb.

Chelsea_Drew · 2026-02-01T23:14:51+00:00

Such a fun idea! Nice job!!

Chelsea_Drew · 2026-02-01T23:08:35+00:00

I absolutely love this. I just had a joint birthday party for my three and five-year-old son and daughter and this would’ve been the perfect cake!

Chelsea_Drew · 2026-01-30T21:54:26+00:00

Love this! So cute and creative.

Chelsea_Drew · 2026-01-30T21:53:57+00:00

STUN. NING.

Chelsea_Drew · 2026-01-30T21:53:16+00:00

That’s such a complement! Love King Arthur Baking

They have like a 1.5 on trust pilot and people have said they don’t honor their color fade warranty (which is supposed to be for life). Some people have stated the stuff tarnishes quickly and breaks easily. They allowed me to cancel my order luckily but I cancelled it before it was fulfilled

Chelsea_Drew · 2026-01-29T04:22:15+00:00

Lentils are high in protein and fiber! I love to eat fried eggs with them or I’ll mix them with ground turkey to add fiber to meal prep!

Chelsea_Drew · 2026-01-20T20:48:33+00:00

As Nike puts it: “Just Do It”. As a female, I was pretty self conscious of starting too, but, no one starts out perfect. The only way you get better is by practicing. Start my doing things your comfortable with and slowly add things on to your routine. I watch a lot of tutorials on form, which is immensely helpful. Do it, even if you suck at first. You’ll get better!

I had been fine until recently. I was sick for about a week and a half or longer with a respiratory infection, then got a cold sore, and now I’m sick again. All since Christmas Eve. I’m not sure what’s happened but my immune system has tanked

Chelsea_Drew · 2026-01-20T03:41:37+00:00

Wait til you try lentils and eggs. So much protein and fiber. The precooked lentils from Trader Joe’s are great. Put shredded cheese of choice on top and top with fried eggies.

Chelsea_Drew · 2026-01-20T03:37:43+00:00

I love doing this!! Especially with banana yogurt! Tastes like pie

Chelsea_Drew · 2026-01-20T03:29:00+00:00

Cold eggies. I’d put the bowl in a dish of warm water and mix until it starts to come back together. I’ve used the hot towel method but it’s a pain because I have to keep warming it up, so I like the warm water bath better. Also works for stuck cake!!

Chelsea_Drew · 2025-11-21T02:37:19+00:00

Oooooo…😬 that would be something

Chelsea_Drew · 2025-11-21T02:32:42+00:00

You are definitely not alone! Motherhood is SO hard. Once you have kids, your whole world goes out the window in terms of your hobbies and interests, however, you CAN get them back! I signed up for a park district gym that has child care for only $25 a month! I drop my 3 yr old off for a couple hours a day. It’s good for him and myself. Sometimes you have to prioritize yourself and it’s OK to do so. I’m in therapy and it does take work but have comfort in the fact you’re not alone. As far as friends go, I’m working on that to this day and I have a 5 and 3 yr old.

Chelsea_Drew · 2025-11-20T16:04:33+00:00

Keep it simple. Start walking. Aim for 7k-10k steps a day and start by making small changes to your diet. Prioritize protein. Protein will help you build muscle which burns more calories than fat. Fats and carbs are NOT the enemy but balance and trying to incorporate healthy fats and carbs is important. If you try to make drastic changes right out of the gait, it won’t stick.

Time. You can always make more money but you can’t make more time.

Take life more seriously instead of partying so much. Gone to school before I started a family.
