Chore Completion Photos

Mom Hack

When you're busy, encourage your kids to take photos after completing their chores.

Not only does it give them a sense of responsibility, but it also helps them learn what a job well done looks like, all while freeing you up a bit!

Plus, reviewing the photos together can be a fun way to praise their effort and discuss improvements.

Together with Pacaso

The key to a $1.3T opportunity

A new real estate trend called co-ownership is revolutionizing a $1.3T market. Leading it? Pacaso. Led by former Zillow execs, they already have $110M+ in gross profits with 41% growth last year. They even reserved the Nasdaq ticker PCSO. But the real opportunity’s now. Until 5/29, you can invest for just $2.80/share.

This is a paid advertisement for Pacaso’s Regulation A offering. Please read the offering circular at invest.pacaso.com. Reserving a ticker symbol is not a guarantee that the company will go public. Listing on the NASDAQ is subject to approvals. Under Regulation A+, a company has the ability to change its share price by up to 20%, without requalifying the offering with the SEC.

Featured Response 💬 

“I’ll meal prep at least 2 different meals on the weekends for us to eat on during the week because I have no time during the week by the time I get home. If we run out of the leftovers I always have grilled cheese or quesadillas in my back pocket to throw together. I’m hoping as my daughter gets older I’ll be able to find more time to cook each day, which is my ideal goal.”

- Community Mom

Omg yes, same here—weeknight cooking feels impossible sometimes, and having grilled cheese or quesadillas as your backup plan is perfect. Lately, our backup plan has been chicken nuggets! 😂 -Danielle 😊
