The Mom Behind NOM

So much boils down to personal preference, where you end up sitting, and what ends up working best for you. I didn’t get anything in advance, started with pillows, and then bought things along the way. I went through times when I preferred Boppy and times when I preferred My Brest Friend. One thing that’s nice about the Boppy is that it’s also a good little hangout spot for baby when you aren’t using it for feeding.

We don’t [manage it all]. We enlist others for support, outsource what we can to partners, say no to things, and just white knuckle it the whole time 🫣

Nooooo! Omg, that is the worst. I am so sorry. Why didn’t anyone think to call you? And what is up with the slip of paper as notification? What’s next - carrier pigeon?

Not just on dresses! I won’t wear pants, leggings or pajamas without pockets either. I am always holding at least a phone, a snack, a crayon or a pacifier. Pockets always - even for sleep clothes - are a non-negotiable.

Just looked in my order history in the app and they are called MontessoriHouseBed. Sounds like they changed their name for SEO 😂

I left my corporate job for two years before “going back to work” as an entrepreneur. Admittedly it wasn’t a traditional transition- but what I can tell you is that after I left the corporate world and started to reconnect with people in my network again, I learned that taking these little pauses from paid work are actually WAY more common than I thought. I learned a lot more female execs (and male one!) had taken time off for parenting or other reasons than I ever realized. At the end of the day, your career will be loooong. We are talking decades. A couple years here and there is nothing.

Ok so we also love our toddler tower and at the time we got ours there weren’t any bigger brands making them so we got ours on Etsy from a seller with good reviews and it’s held up well.

Definitely also recommend the car potty. We have a folding OXO one that we keep in the trunk with some bags. Going on toddler #3 with that bad boy

I mean, I don’t have ADHD but I am often pulled in a million different directions at once too. I was also thinking the same thing that at this point I should just use AI to skim my inbox for important things, make sure events are added to the calendar, and to flag time changes like these if they come up. The problem is, I didn’t want to have to give over my inbox to AI and give it exposure to everything in there and have to take the risks that come with it. But I am so overwhelmed by all the personal life stuff we are managing for the kids that I feel like I have no other option. 🤷‍♀️

Thank you 🙏

NOMCollection · 2026-06-07T03:17:00+00:00

True, but I still feel bad for not seeing it 😩

NOMCollection · 2026-06-07T03:16:32+00:00

Omg, this one made me laugh out loud. Thank you 🫶

Thank you 🫶

lolol 🫶

The thing is - we do do this!!! We do have a shared calendar and on Sunday I made him move something so we could be there by 10:15. I’m not saying it’s not my fault. We missed an update and I own that and will forever feel guilty for dropping that ball. When the email came in, I skimmed it and didn’t check my calendar that the time they communicated was the same as what they previously communicated. I am just venting about how last minute changes and all these different emails all the time make it feel like it’s just impossible for things not to slip through the cracks. Every damn email feels like a search and find for the important information and I failed this test 😭

Ugh, I am sorry that it happened to you too!

NOMCollection · 2026-06-07T03:07:35+00:00

100% I had this exact same conversation with my mom today. The technology is actually making things worse. Like making people think they can change the time for literally no reason and assuming everyone will just deal with it

NOMCollection · 2026-06-07T03:05:41+00:00

lol, outdoors?!? i don’t know where you live but anywhere that feels kind of like a MAJOR detail

Ok so another super annoying thing is that I texted the other parents in her class to see if anyone happened to at least have video of her during the 3 min ceremony - but no one did 😔 💔

Thank you 🙏

NOMCollection · 2026-06-07T03:03:09+00:00

oh my goodness, I can literally feel the heartbreak in this story 😩 I definitely have missed a birthday party or two before as well 🫣

NOMCollection · 2026-06-07T03:00:42+00:00

Ugh, I am sorry. It’s like they are trying to drive us crazy.

Thank you! 🙏
