Mum guilt

Money is so tight and I’ve literally got my 8 month old 2 presents for Christmas, as I wanted to get the rest of the family a little something as I know they’re getting my little one something, but I feel awful I cannot give her more. I know she won’t remember but I will! 😭

Nursery teachers Christmas gifts

I had forgotten about this until tonight 🙈 do you buy gifts for your nursery teachers? I’m not sure what the etiquette is here. If there are any nursery teachers in this group could you share your best gifts?! And how do you get round not knowing all the staff that are in your child’s room at nursery?

Fun question of the day!

If you could have an unlimited gift card to any one store what store would it be? For me it would be ASDA Living 😂 as I could get so much there from baby items to clothing for myself and husband, household items, electronics etc

Asking for help with Christmas … but have Amazon wishlist of gifts that are $40 and up.

A mom in my town asked bookface for help with Christmas, so people told her about the certain charities that were doing Christmas gifts for kids like Christmas cheer and toys for tots, etc. but she said “I rather people get their amazon wishlist gifts.” The gifts were not cheap. I was going to help, but a $40 play m...

Anyone thrifting gifts?

Loving all the Instagram inspiration lately. I found a bird feeder for my mother in law (new in box) and a hand carved wooden box for my father in law.

Holiday Bonus Rant

My job had the nerve the audacity of sending us an email that reads “your holiday gift is here” just to let us know how much our “bonus” will be. I wasn’t expecting $5,000, but to give me $30. Mind you this is a billion dollar hospital. Im so frustrated because i was planning on using that for gifts.
