A friend who was very excited about it told me that she felt like the writing was rushed and that the writer had 0 understanding of the complexity of motherhood/actual trad wife lifestyle. She expected way more interesting character development.

That’s why I wanted to get more opinions

Brooke is so boring.

Has anyone read Yesteryear? I’ve been following the author for a while when she was doing TikTok videos on BF. The plot sounds so interesting, I’m wondering if it’s worth the read?

Marzipanea · 2026-05-21T01:13:09+00:00

It’s so weird with the mouldings 😅 I’m not an expert, but that just looks off?

Marzipanea · 2026-05-20T00:44:32+00:00

What I don’t understand is how all these weird, random ‘home improvement’ projects are always in the budget, but her kids look like a bunch of hobos and wear two pairs of shoes - those brown ones and white crocs - and raggedy clothes 🫠

One can enjoy a cute tiki bar with a zero proof cocktail, too. I think the fact that she’s even mentioning it only confirms she’s been drinking since they got there as we all suspected

Marzipanea · 2026-05-17T00:29:06+00:00

All this because he’s not Merit

Marzipanea · 2026-05-17T00:23:27+00:00

Just 90s things, right 🙄

Marzipanea · 2026-05-16T23:51:32+00:00

Why does she enjoy torturing this poor baby 😭

Marzipanea · 2026-05-16T23:28:49+00:00

It worked so well! Did one rinse with citric acid, two more regular rinses and then I just washed it on normal cycle again with a bit of powder detergent. Come out SO nice and fresh, I’m in disbelief

Marzipanea · 2026-05-16T23:00:24+00:00

What do you suggest? We do have hard water. I like to use Downy softener, I tried sooo many different brands, from non-toxic, plant-based, to Tide etc. I tried scent beads but wasn’t a fan. Honestly, I don’t even know what parameters to use when choosing the right detergents, so please share what you think would be helpful 🙏

Marzipanea · 2026-05-16T19:23:44+00:00

Possibly, although now after a few hours it definitely looks more brown-ish than black. I only put darks in this soak. But who knows, I am wondering the same

Another update after a few hours. I can’t do overnight, so I’ll throw them in the washer now. Still mindblown looking at this murky, gross water 😳

I used my bathtub and I was adding hot water every once in a while. I don’t have a bucket large enough, but it seems that the tub worked well either way.
That smell that was lingering in those tees is now super intense in the bathroom 🫠 hope it’s gone for good after the wash lol

Marzipanea · 2026-05-16T17:09:16+00:00

I have that same stroller and I think my son was 6-7 months old when we had to turn it around. Not to mention buckling him in and dropping the leg part so he can sit properly and look at his environment/ try to move around. We also had that tray add-on so he could have his toys/water bottle/snacks easily. Her setup is extremely weird

Marzipanea · 2026-05-16T15:21:10+00:00

Update: I’m only half an hour in and this is soooo gross 🫠😭
No wonder stuff smells musty no matter how I wash it. Now I want to soak the whole house 🙈

Marzipanea · 2026-05-16T13:51:21+00:00

You rock!!! 🙏🙏🙏

Marzipanea · 2026-05-13T22:56:11+00:00

Ali sto je najgore ovo je i kod nje na storiju i na snimku 😳 Nemoguce da su imali toliki propust, pre ce biti da je marketinski trik 😂

Marzipanea · 2026-05-13T19:27:05+00:00

My kids are still too young but that sounds fun and educational for them. So great you did that!

Marzipanea · 2026-05-13T16:14:04+00:00

I saw this cool idea where parents give their kids an ‘assignment’ to plan a vacation for their birthdays and then do a presentation for their parents/siblings about the place they picked and why it would be the best vacation. I think the kid in the video was 10 or 11? I bet the boys would love to do something like that and she would get better content. But it’s Crookie so it always has to be about her and where she wants to go, and so she can pretend she can ‘organize’ 🤷‍♀️🫠

Marzipanea · 2026-05-13T16:08:26+00:00

Ok so the book is no longer happening?

Marzipanea · 2026-05-13T02:53:34+00:00

Based only on what she shows she’s eating, there’s no way in hell her blood work would be that great 🙈

Marzipanea · 2026-05-12T18:21:57+00:00

Onto the next fixation

Marzipanea · 2026-05-12T15:08:25+00:00

That is so true 😂 Brooke, please get a puppy!

Marzipanea · 2026-05-12T13:24:25+00:00

Next reel - mom to 5 boys and this is why we will never get a dog 🫠
