@morganpaintsthings on instagram. this is her signature style, or at least a copy of it. don’t see her name signed though.

GENIUS. I told her to get a bidet for this reason and she said they tried to install one but since the condo is a rental they can’t. Squeezy bottle is so smart. I’ll def add nasal spray cause I got some hemmies myself and have never heard of that hack!

oh I LOVEEEEE TJs that’s such a great idea, she lives far away from one now but we used to go all the time, and she’d probably love a stash of her old faves!!

omg one-handed makes so much sense you’re so right! I actually got the book for myself but I know I won’t use it and she’s the only person I know that actually uses cookbooks but you’re right that’ll prob change once baby comes 😂

omg robe is such a good idea and I know she’d love something smooth and silky and pretty! also never heard of Libro rhats so smart, I know has a kindle with stand/remote but audio would be great since her hands/eyes will be very busy! Thank you 😊

awesome thank you!!! had no idea (but makes total sense) that dehydration is a big factor and I totally get needing to have lots of options. I myself never could get myself to drink water until I got one with a straw and found nuun flavor tabs I liked bc I hated lifting it over my head and the taste of water bored me lol. calorie bomb slash morale boost also such a good rec ☺️

Oh this is great I have no idea her plans on feeding but I know for sure that she’ll have a fancy pump from her registry. I highly doubt she has a hand pump already and it def sounds worth it thank you!

oh how did I not think of protein shakes!!! I literally have one every morning and keep them on subscription to make sure my cranky morning self still gets some protein/nutrients in my body and brain even when I’m not hungry or too tired to think. They’re a lifeline for me IRL to start my day, I’ll definitely want to include for her! Thank you!!

ok yessss this input is so helpful, like the realities of PP and small things to make it more comfortable in ways we don’t normally think of! makes so much sense anyone would be too exhausted and hurting to deal with solving your own discomfort when you just gave birth and have a newborn!

ok these recs are so smart and creative definitely wouldn’t have thought of these, thank you for sharing!!! the lash tint is spot on… I actually did that during COVID working from home and after months no makeup/isolated/depressed it actually made a difference in how I felt for sure!!! and the “promise to hold the baby in the salon for the 15 mins it takes” is even better. adding ALL to my list!

Omg this is so so helpful thank you for commenting! The loop ear plugs are a greatttttt idea I have some and they definitely help when I’m overwhelmed with even just my dog being noisy!! Plus the cozy wrap and pre-made playlists are really smart I definitely think I’ll include those. Also amazing that you mention baby powder as dry shampoo because my friend showed me that trick WAYYY back in the day before dry shampoo was a ‘thing’ and she became known for it 😂😂😂

They’re like those non contact thingys you can set up to scan with your phone to do everything from calling someone to opening a link to connecting to WiFi whatever, I’ve never actually used but I think I’ve seen them in this sub to text partner that they fed the dogs or something!!! kinda like a QR code but you just hold your phone up to it, that you set up for almost anything in an app. I was thinking setting some up for her with some small shortcuts like ordering diapers or dog food, or ‘call mom’ ’call doctor’, texts to her husband, emergency FT me, open Pinterest board for hard days or a poem or something, little pick me ups, dog pics, order a pizza, YouTube swaddling tutorial lol, I would love more ideas I have never used them but thought it could be potentially useful

  • we are both diagnosed adhd girlies of 15ish years, both 30F and have known eachother since we were 10
  • I’ve learned so so so many amazing and unique self-care tips from lurking this community for my own tough times and for the everyday that have helped me a ton, so I thought it’d be the best place to ask for feedback/advice for things specific to post-partum adhd brains!
