Hey Mommas! Nearing the big 40, have two littles and finally all maternity clothes are behind me. I literally have no idea where to shop or what to buy. I feel so out of it and am scared that items at Chico’s and Talbots are catching my eye! Need advice on where to shop (nothing super expensive kids dented that allowance!) and need practical. Go!

I just started doing Nuuly and I LOVE it. It’s one of the monthly subscription services with great stuff (free people, anthro, designer, vintage, good denim). It allows me to try new cuts and designers and sizes to see what suits this new post baby bod. Plus by getting a new “haul” every month I am willing to take more risks on fun, seasonal pieces. Look into it. $88/mo, and I usually get well over $1k value of clothes. I feel somewhat cool again.

Love Nuuly

Stitch Fix… I cannot say enough good things about this. I get a box full of clothes someone has picked for me, that are in my price range. All I can say is DO THE QUIZZES so they know what you’re into. It’s been a game changer for me beyond the basics.

I second Nuuly. Currently using it to supplement for events, weddings, etc.

Hello anyone reading this! I wanted to ask for any realistic, recommended job positions from someone with more knowledge and experience.

I have 3 years of experience in management operations but also have 6 years of experience with child care, is that why I may be getting rejected? Maybe I’m overthinking my resume? 😅

Do you think all these violent and hate filled attacks are because people aren't getting the emotional/mental support they need, whether it's therapy at any age or help they needed but didn't get from a social worker as a child? My coworker is sure this is the case, but I honestly think there's actually something deeper wrong either with how these people are being raised as children, or how the warning signs these people give off are ignored or swept under the rug to save face.
