Ooh, I like the heading into the weekend with a calmer space idea. Are they not totally melted after school on Friday? My kids (4yo) are usually so exhausted by Friday at 3 pm.

Parents, teachers: what toy/book organization hacks are you most proud of? I'm not talking about bookshelves and cubby storage. Tell me about the rule/tool/tip you feel actually makes a difference.

My gosh, is there anything better than your kid, arms open, asking for just one more hug? As you figure out how to tackle all that feels heavy or overwhelming today, I hope you’ll pour your energy into the little things, too.

Who would’ve guessed “America First” would mean higher insurance premiums, abandoning farmers, and rising daily costs all while he invades another country 🤷‍♂️

Buttigieg on Indiana: "The big part of how Trumpism works is to make you feel totally disempowered. To make him feel inevitable. And yet the clear takeaway from this is he is not unstoppable and you are not without power."

Parents, if you have time to read anything today (and the capacity to feel rage), then these new allegations against two of the largest social media companies, and their apparent disregard of you and your kids’ relationships and mental health, should be it.

The important thing is that we can rebuild something fully new and better, which is why facing the severity of this moment can be a source of hope rather than paralysis.

There’s a reason they call it “doomscrolling” and not “joyscrolling.” The longer you’re here the madder you’ll get. Lean on your community. Video chat with friends and talk about the kids, work, or the show you’re enjoying. And then, make plans to *do* something together. Got ideas? Post ‘em below.

It is mind-boggling that the answer to the question "Should we feed the hungry and heal the sick or give more money to billionaires?" leads MAGA to this spending bill. Public service is about making people's lives better, safer, and more secure. Or so I thought.

They've got enough money to throw us into another war, but not enough money to fund the suicide prevention hotline. Very "pro-life." Very "pro-family." So "GREAT."

Is the floor so low we’re only half-expecting an apology from a Senator who mocked the assasination of politicians he didn’t like? Or is there just no floor at all anymore? Mike Lee should resign. Today.

“The best part about coming home is you” isn’t just a warm closing. It’s the manifesto of a parenting philosophy. “It’s about unconditional love over material things,” he said. “In the whirlwind of figuring out parenting, it’s just so important to be grounded in that.”

I need more details about this enchanted rose. How long did it grow/how long did the petals fall for? Because Lumiere says they’ve been “rusting” for ten years during “Be Our Guest” and I know that lady at the door wouldn’t have cursed and eleven year old Prince exercising stranger danger, right?

Families pinching pennies at the checkout are now losing federal support at their kids' schools because some billionaires in Washington want more tax breaks. Less help for you means more money for them.

If Linda McMahon and the Department of Education believe in "efficiency and accountability" (after laying off half of the department), then I'm sure they'll gladly publish a list of every position that has been eliminated and why that position is no longer needed.
