Featured Response 💬
“My partner is the sole income earner in our household while I’m on maternity leave, so he often works long hours and at least six days per week. He’d like to be home with us more, but it’s what we need right now to survive. He contributes while he’s home, it’s just that he isn’t home as often as we’d like! Hopefully this will change someday soon.”
It sounds like you're both doing what you can to make things work right now—hopefully, there’s a season ahead with more time together as a family. ❤️ Hang in there, mama! -Danielle 😊

Who can resist the softness of a minky blanket? Especially one with adorable patterns like elephants.
Here’s the good news, Moms: No sewing required!
Just grab two yards of minky fabric (different colors or patterns for fun), sharp scissors, and a ruler.
Imagine wrapping your little one in a blanket made with love by you.
Or even better, gifting it to a fellow mom, or selling them on Etsy.
The tutorial is here.
