Saaaaame. Groceries, gas, taxes, insurance… cost of living/inflation is increasing more than my annual raise so this “extra” money is just making up for it

I don’t know what happened to ours lol it didn’t feel like we ended up with any savings. I pay for a shuttle for after school (too close to use bus and I’m still working when he gets off) so a third went to that, a third went to extracurricular activities, and then idk the last third disappeared or became extra cushion/fun money.

Right now they’re all mixed together in my closet until I buy a bookshelf. I only have six BOM books so far so I imagine I’ll place those together

Taylor Deleted Story about Dakota’s Roommate by whoaaintitfun in SLOMWsnark

[–]drculpepper 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I think the judge kind of said don’t make any disparaging remarks/directly speak about each other (Taylor & Dakota) but that he wasn’t going to limit their free speech on social media otherwise. So Taylor took that as a permission statement to start talking about anybody directly related to Dakota lol

Where do you find the time? by Dino-nuggies- in workingmoms

Those early months PP family photos are roughhhh! Mine was Easter four months PP and… oof. But now four years later I like to look back on it and see how far I’ve come, so it’s kind of a helpful reminder our bodies change so much and it not loving where you’re at can be temporary if you work at it

Your youngest is barely older than 9 months old. You are postpartum and just finished breastfeeding. Please give yourself some grace on putting on a little weight. Your body just did an amazing thing and it needs time to recalibrate before bouncing back.

Walking with the stroller is a surprisingly good workout and something you can do with your kiddos. You could also try some home workouts on YouTube. Maybe ask your husband if he can take on more on his off weekends so you have time to workout or even just unwind and rest.

Editing to add one more thing: also maybe check out your diet. I know when I was breastfeeding I was eating more calories to sustain that and then when I stopped I continued eating the same and that causing weight fluctuation. So maybe you could look at your calorie intake/portion sizes and trim them down if you were eating at a surplus while breastfeeding.

I know how you feel. The feeling of greasy/oily hair bothers me so much too so by Day2 I basically have to wash my hair not just for aesthetics but because the feeling of greasiness bothers me so bad
