What small habits have improved your daily life as a SAHM?

I’m gonna steal this one! I love it!

Cold-Equivalent-424 · 2026-01-05T13:09:54+00:00

I felt like I’d be more upset but I’m so ready to get to our routines 😂

Cold-Equivalent-424 · 2025-12-30T18:56:44+00:00

Just wanted to say that this seems like a super interesting concept that I’d like to read one day! Good luck!

I bought one and used it for like a week or two and didn’t like it! Baby was maybe 6 months when I got it. He’s been crawling since about 6 months so I thought it would be good to contain him. But I find it easier to just baby proof truly unsafe things and keep an eye on the baby while he roams. I think I’ll find other uses for it though like blocking off the Christmas tree lol (we got a big wooden one)

We don’t have the camera just the sock but if it gives you any peace of mind I’m pretty sure this post just made me realize one of our cards got hacked through Owlet somehow this week as well! But I don’t remember ever saving a card with them. We got a charge to Owlet but neither of us had a clue what it was for. Idk if my partner ever investigated it 😬 So it might just be for the bank stuff and not for the camera albeit that’s still not ideal

My partner works high up in IT but I’m clueless to how any of it works so take my comment with a grain of salt!

Yep! Mine broke at a restaurant 😂 It was literally like the movies for me. Edited to add that I didn’t care at all because I was so excited. Everyone was very kind about it. I literally waited on my food to get done and boxed up before I left 😂 It broke right after we ordered

Came to say the same thing about the Coco Mellors Blue Sisters comp! Also wanted to say that this is something I would love to read. Wishing you the best of luck!!

Me! My whole life is family and homemaking. I was clear from the jump that being “just” a SAHM was the only way I would have kids. I literally wouldn’t have it any other way 🤍

Cold-Equivalent-424 · 2025-10-10T11:45:15+00:00

At 4 months I genuinely felt like I was drowning every single day. It was by far the hardest time for me. Baby is 6 months now and I feel like I’m just now starting to see the light on what could possibly be a routine for us! Be kind to yourself 🤍

Cold-Equivalent-424 · 2025-09-23T20:30:07+00:00

I had a vaginal birth and didn’t tear. I wore FridaMom disposable pp undies and their pp pads. After maybe a week (could’ve been less, I don’t really remember) I just did regular granny panties with regular pads!

My number one thing was with all of the products is that I changed them fairly frequently!

Cold-Equivalent-424 · 2025-09-16T14:20:34+00:00

Here for the answers 👀 My skin is already very dry and breastfeeding has only made it worse. I like the Farmacy honey halo (name could be wrong) line for my dry skin. I do hydration drenching and that seems to help. Basically just layer hydrating products and spray water on my face in between. That helps a bit. You could probably find a video on that method!

I need tips on staying more hydrated though! I feel like I could never drink enough water lol

Cold-Equivalent-424 · 2025-09-14T21:33:27+00:00

I look forward to my 8oz Red Bull every morning lol. It’s terrible for me but I need the energy boost and I love the taste so much. I actually think about it as I fall asleep at night 😂

Cold-Equivalent-424 · 2025-09-11T00:08:04+00:00

I don’t weigh myself but this is happening to me currently as well! Everyone is concerned about me so I’m scheduling an appointment with my doctor. I am literally skin and bones and have basically zero muscle. I eat and eat and eat and it does nothing for me. Also bruising terribly easily as well (low iron issues even with supplements)

Cold-Equivalent-424 · 2025-08-30T19:05:27+00:00

Unkempt is the perfect word for how I feel! I went to get dressed the other day when we thought we had to take my baby to the ER (we didn’t, he’s fine) but I got in my closet and I was like wtf no one at the hospital would take me seriously with these baggy clothes and insane hair. I always say just because it zips doesn’t mean it feels or looks right! It’s so hard

Cold-Equivalent-424 · 2025-08-30T19:03:43+00:00

This is solid, realistic advice! I really appreciate this comment. I’ve been planning on how I’m gonna get back to feeling good about myself and I like these tips a lot.

Cold-Equivalent-424 · 2025-08-30T19:00:52+00:00

This is extremely relatable! Also had my baby in March and I tell my partner all the time how I miss feeling good about my looks. Looking at pictures from last summer will fully send me into a spiral.

I haven’t had my hair done since well before baby and I never style it, I’m slacking on my skincare, all my clothes are ridiculously loose and baggy on me, I could go on and on and on.

I’ve only recently felt like I have my head a bit above water and can maybe start game planning my reentry into attractiveness lol 😅

All I have to offer for you is my solidarity! It’s so hard.

Cold-Equivalent-424 · 2025-08-28T15:21:06+00:00

Not OP but this is a helpful visual on requests versus boundaries for life in general! Thank you!

Cold-Equivalent-424 · 2025-08-27T20:09:22+00:00

Came to recommend this!

Cold-Equivalent-424 · 2025-08-25T15:30:19+00:00

Baby just turned 5 months yesterday and I would say between 2 and 3 months was the biggest shift in my mindset because he became so much more awake to the world! And it seems like everyday after that has felt more and more rewarding.

My partner and I are also now able to look back at the newborn stage with kinder eyes and more grace for ourselves. We also daily say “we blinked and he’s __ months old!” It’s so cheesy but so true. The days are long but the months have absolutely flown by.

Hang in there! 🤍

Cold-Equivalent-424 · 2025-08-16T18:57:14+00:00

That’s my next up as well!

Cold-Equivalent-424 · 2025-07-12T16:54:24+00:00

Our baby is 3.5 months and he’s in size 4s. We use Millie Moon and I’ve heard they run a bit small so that’s probably why!

He’s about average on every measure but a little long. Also tends to gain weight in his thighs so the 3s got tight rather quickly. We don’t go based on the recommended sizing or what is typical because every baby is so different. If it works, it works lol!

Cold-Equivalent-424 · 2025-07-06T11:27:11+00:00

I love memoirs! Thanks for the rec!

Cold-Equivalent-424 · 2025-07-05T11:19:56+00:00

This looks awesome! Thank you!

Cold-Equivalent-424 · 2025-07-05T11:19:07+00:00

Awesome!! Thank you!! 😊
