The PLAN by Kendra Adachi is a NO for me. The feminist rage was just off the chart here, in addition to the inception of acronym and list within acronyms and lists, it was just so much here, yet nothing at all. I guess that's what happens when you try to market a book to everyone?

Our fourth trimester is coming to a rapid end soon, and I wanted to share the experience and what it was like the fourth time around. What was easier, what was harder, and all the beautiful messy things in between. And what life is like with four kids under six years old.

Our fourth baby is here! We delivered her at a birth center at 40+1 weeks. It was an uncomplicated delivery up until the tail end, overall a very positive experience.

Starting a 75 Hard / 75 Soft / 75 Mom / 75 Pregnancy Challenge is the perfect way to focus your mind, body, and spirit. And that's exactly what I'm looking forward to during these last few weeks of my fourth pregnancy. Here's my *super* adapted version of the 75 Pregnancy Challenge:
Drink a gallon of water every day (128-ounces = 1 gallon) — this will include a mix of water and coconut water for the electrolytes. Exercise 2-3 times per week for 45 minutes -- this will include an upper and lower body workout + a walkRead 10 pages of a book everydayNo screens past 9pm — this is for my mental health more than anything. It’s so easy to find myself scrolling on X until 10 / 1030 / 11pm when the best thing to do is to unplug, and not have the last thing I look at be a blue screen. Gratitude journal — because the days are long and hard with three kids, and it just keeps a healthy spirit. Take a picture everyday, I like this idea, mainly because I’ve gotten really terrible with taking photos. I hardly take them anymore, yet I know I’ll be thrilled to have them. Especially during this sweet time as a family of 5 for just a few more weeks.Send us a text

Today, we’re going to talk about keeping the playroom clean, tidy, and organized for a more peaceful home.
As for the clean and tidy portion of our episode, I wanted to say again how much I really loved the book How to Keep House While Drowning by KC Davis, the best thing I took from her book is the 5 Step Cleaning method. The basics of the method is that there are only ever 5 kinds of items found in any cluttered or messy room:
