Check Stories for all the memes Mom Group sent our way today, to send you laughing into the weekend.

Shout out to @jamonbread for making this gem. And we can’t wait to do live events again one day, like this amazing panel with @loganlevkoff , @janceedunn , @drmariashifrin and @paigebellenbaum in collab with @themotherhoodcenter 💕.

She told her parents, who then wrote an email to the school. We obviously want to address it with him so he knows that’s not appropriate, but don’t want to shame him. Any tips on how to start, what to say, etc.? Feeling so many emotions about this.” - K.

Would love to hear from the group on this, especially if you have had these conversations with your littles before. Also taking your reccs for sites and resources that talk about consent and how to discuss with young kids. (We tagged a few accounts that we like.)

Of all the inspiring, hopeful words spoken today,

On Saturday morning, my six-year-old bounded into

On Saturday morning, my six-year-old bounded into our bedroom, leapt onto our bed, and declared: "Happy Martin Luther King Jr. weekend!" As if it were a holiday like Thanksgiving, or Halloween, where one puts up decorations, or has big dinners with family. I cringed. Clearly I haven't been doing my job, as his parent, in teaching him the significance of this day, of this man, and our not-so-distant history. And who knows what he's been learning in school, beyond maybe a worksheet that they got to color (I SHOULD know, and that's on me.) So what do we do with this day? How do we "celebrate?"⁠
⁠
For me, this "day of service" feels best observed through giving. I've been talking about this a lot with my kids lately — finding ways to support and uplift Black communities and people through reparations. And yet, in all that talk and giving — my youngest still can't tell me who Dr. King is. Time to go back to the books.⁠
⁠
My little team and I have assembled a list of Black activists, educators, and businesses to give to. The link is in our bio.⁠
⁠
How are you observing this day of service? Do you feel like your kids have an understanding of the meaning of this day, and Dr. King's legacy?

{📷 via @thepouf } 〰️ YOU COULD USE A BATH. I mean it! When was the last time you took a bath just to luxuriate in it (versus only to get clean)? I often find myself looking longingly at the warm, sudsy water after my son's bath, wishing I could let the kids go and do whatever so I can hop in, and relax. I never do this.⁠
⁠
And we have to admit: It has been a hell of a week. Make that two weeks. And 2021 has only just started. We're going to need some serious rest if we are going to make it through the next few months. So my challenge to you this weekend, Mom Group: TAKE A BATH. Take a photo of the bath you're about to step into, and tag @notsafeformomgroup and #nsfmgbath and we will share on Stories. If you want to take a G-rated pic of yourself in a bath, by all means!⁠
⁠
Any favorite bath accompaniments? Favorite bath salts? Bath bombs? A hair mask? Or are you a bath purist?⁠
Everybody in the tub! 🛁

{photo by @maikelmauvais} 〰️ IT DOESN’T FEEL LIKE HOME HERE 〰️ “Hey Mom Group: I’m wondering. . . does anyone else have a hard time calling where they are currently living “home”? My husband and I moved . . . almost two years ago. We love everything about [our home]: we have great neighbors, and we’ve met some nice people here. My problem is it doesn’t feel like home to me and it never will. I’m having a hard time trying to figure out how to make this place where I live feel like home for my kids. Does that just happen for them?! I’m trying to wrap my mind around everything I feel about my own home [growing up], and thinking — is that how my kids will feel about this place? How do I make somewhere feel like home for my kids when it doesn’t even feel like home for me?" - I.

Thought this especially would resonate with those of us who have relocated during the pandemic, whether to live with in-laws, or moving to the burbs. There are a lot of ways in which we can feel unsettled right now. What does home mean to you?

{📷 via @positivelysparkly } 〰️ Everyone is

{📷 via @positivelysparkly } 〰️ Everyone is feeling at least a little anxious right now. My friend was saying yesterday that what helps her little girls fall asleep lately is telling them nice things about themselves while tucking each of them in: “You’re a kind person. I love the way you play with your sister. You make such beautiful artwork. Being your mom makes me so happy.” And as she says these things, she can see daughter’s face soften, her body become more relaxed, letting the bed hold her, surrendering to rest, and calm.⁠
⁠
Imagine if we all had someone saying these kinds of loving, validating things to us at the end of the day, how much good that could do for our hearts and souls. And what would we want to hear? If we could be our own hype person, what words would we want whispered into our ears as we drifted off to sleep?
