Hello Mamas
June 24, 2025
💁♀️ Hello from Our Chief Mom Officer
It’s summertime and the livin’ is easy… kind of. Between coordinating camp drop-off and pick-up, managing work calls, and bribing my kids with popsicles to keep them from fighting, I honestly feel like a circus ringleader.
Here’s what’s on my mind this week.
My oldest said she wanted to try tennis, so we signed her up for camp at our rec center. We all went to the store to find the cheapest racket possible… and walked out with rackets for everyone. Do I know how to play? Absolutely not. But LFG.
(Not actually me.)
My kids love listening to their Yoto players. But always buying new cards when they get sick of their current ones isn’t in the budget. I just discovered the Libby app; we can borrow audiobooks from our local library... FOR FREE 🙌
We’re heading to my parents’ house for July 4th. Since our post-op pup needs the whole trunk, we’re cramming two weeks of stuff into a cartop carrier. My husband vetoed the bus rental (#rude), so wish us luck.
I'd love to hear from you: your best summer survival hacks, vacation plans, or even just a funny story from the week. Hit reply or send me a message here… bonus points if it involves snacks or sunscreen in weird places. 😎
XO, Randee

🍑 It’s Like Chapstick for Your Butt!
No, really. This is one of those products we had to share.
For the 30-40% of pregnant women who deal with hemorrhoids (or anyone else not carrying a tiny human but still “blessed” by the butt gods), Anything Butt is a total game-changer. Made with 100% natural ingredients, it’s also great post-shave or wax, soothing on sunburn, and just what you need during these hot summer months. Cue the ahhh of sweet summer relief. |  |
P.S. Keep an eye on this brand. They’re about to launch a product targeting bug bites, eczema, and all of those pesky itches. Follow on IG and TT to stay up to date.
