Trying to get a handle on laundry....how do you keep it under control without it controlling you?I make one separate load of whites a week, but usually everything gets thrown together. I feel like we are living in piles of clothes, both dirty and clean. I have weeks where I am really on top of it, but I feel like when I am it is all I do. Any tips? I have 4 kids under 7 and while I can have them help a bit, it is still rough. My husband is also super busy. Help. I’m drowning in clothes. Haha!7 answers
I am having surgery in December and will be unable to lift anything or do much for four weeks. I’m trying to figure out how to prep for this because I have 3 small (but not tiny) kids. Help!For four weeks I won’t be able to lift anything and can’t bring my arms above my chest. It’s going to be right during the holidays. I’m thinking I need to wrap presents before the surgery. Maybe prepare easy freezer meals? What else? I need hive brainstorming here!2 answers

What resources or approaches can you recommend when teaching your kids about money management and business?My daughter has desperately wanted chickens for some time now and this last summer we gave her the opportunity to earn and raise a flock of 10 birds. This girl has big plans but I’m having a hard time coaching her through it. She is only 7 years old, but has already made quite a bit of money selling her eggs to neighbors. She has goals to save money to invest back into her flock and their coop by expanding in the spring. Her ambition is both inspiring and dizzying. 😂🤣2 answers

Let’s talk Santa. How long did your kids keep believing?I feel like my oldest are close to the end of this magical believing phase. When your kids stop believing? And how did that work? Did you have a conversation or did they figure it out? and if you could do the believing stage again, is there anything you would do differently during that stage and/or as when ends? I just want to make the most of the time I have left5 answers
