Group Prompt

Trying something a little new here… rather than a summary of convos happening inside the paid community, I’d love to extend the offer to newsletter subscribers to join the conversation in a less formal way via a prompt you can answer via email.

Here goes…

We are releasing (albeit a little belatedly… working mom problems, amirite?) an official SOWM gift guide!

Simply reply to this email with your favorite gifts to give and receive and we'll try to include it (and you!) in our guide! 

(Bonus points for sharing a little more context, ie: a 1-2 blurb sentence of who for/why you love it!)

Member Recs

The good stuff, as touted inside the paid community!

GOODS — these self-emptying robo vacuums, this debit card for kids, this musical and light up baby nose sucker, this 4-in-1 air fryer with glass containers, this adorable and snuggable night light, this classic Midwest pastry that pairs great with coffee, this Shark-approved does-it-all sponge, and this wearable pump with 30 comfort settings and 4 modes.

RESOURCES — this shipping calculator for those sending gifts cross country, this YouTube packed with body and brain breaks for littles, this job board for educators looking for ed-adjacent jobs, this build-your-own gift box marketplace, this podcast for parents of kids with big emotions, and this book and this book that are great alternatives to “The Body Keeps The Score.”
