Starting a running list of fun, cheap activities for parents of toddlers because I’ve been finding little gems and need to share them.


Lying. Of any kind. Big or small. And this goes for any relationship — romantic, familial, friendship.

What’s a deal breaker in a relationship to you besides cheating ? 😭



Moms how are we doing? Everyone around me is like — oh I love this lounge time between Christmas and New Years and I’m about to rip my hair out between the abbreviated daycare hrs, pure exhaustion from the holidays, and the sprint to get shit done before going back to work.

slightly controversial take as a childcare provider and daycare worker of 20 years… she’s not wrong, because most parents work this week and those who aren’t probably desperately need to get stuff done before they do go back. but the problem is not with the parents or kids.…

the mental switch from “why am i not enough?” to “it’s strange that there are people in my life that make me feel that i need to prove my worth to them” is so drastic and sudden tbh.


Becoming a mom has radicalized me. We need infrastructure that fosters community. Now. Right now.


Look I want bike lanes as much as the next person but the conversation should start at reducing the need to travel long distances. Commercial space should be occupied or forfeited.

My mentor told me “you have so much on your plate you can’t taste any of it.”

you ever hear something seemingly simple that unintentionally changed the way you view life?



My politics are that Goodwill should have to price match Shein.

Being an adult can also be about catching up on things you missed out as a child. Buy that plushie, eat that ice cream everyday, watch that cartoon, hell start jokingly believing in Santa again, who’s gonna stop you??

Christmas 2023 is turning out to be really wonderful. We’re doing some very minimal gift-exchanging. Hopefully eliminating it completely next year among the adults in the family. We’re focusing on breaking bread and spending time with one another.


Of all the signs that humankind peaked long ago and it’s all down hill from here..

Someone smarter than me tell me why it makes me cringe when adults pout and make a big deal when small children don’t share with them. Making a kid feel responsible for your feelings is… ick.

No because “behavior” is often an indication of a child’s needs, environment, skillset(lack of) and circumstances. Withholding a gift won’t remedy the root cause. Hot take: a gift is an item given to someone without expectations of something in return (good behavior included).

Is ok to not buy your kids gifts if they were "bad" all year?

I feel like as an educator, I'm having to remind too many people in education that all behaviors are a form of communication and if a CHILD is wilding, somebody needs to sit down and figure out why.


Look I’ve only been a parent for Iike 90 seconds but hot take: “behavior” is a bad word. Kids are assholes sometimes, yes. But 99% of what is attributed to “bad behavior” is age appropriate emotional expression and y’all are goofy for expecting children to sit down & be quiet.
