The first part of this newsletter made me feel incredibly seen. I feel like my kids go to bed SO LATE compared to other families. We're forcing them into their beds at 8:30. I'd love for them to be "normal" and go to bed at 7 p.m. so I can get stuff done but it's just not gonna happen. They're biologically not those children. So I'm left with very limited "me" time just like you've described. Usually, it's 30 minutes with a book before I pass out. Forget the chores.

Thank you! Early to bed isn’t in our genetic makeup either - so we’ve learned to live with it. But my kids aren’t in school yet, so our 7:30am wake up has yet to present us with any issues. Kindergarten is gonna rock our world.

Yep. My Kindergartener was hysterically crying this morning at 6:45 as I begged her to get up and get dressed. It's honestly cruel they start school at 7:30.

Isn’t it just the best?! My whole family gets a laugh out of it, plus a heartwarming message to boot? 💗

Haha the baby dancing meme….brilliant. My last baby has been my worst sleeper. 😖 She’s 15 months and still wakes up through the night, haha.

His whole season series is on my to-own wishlist because I love them so much. Definitely one of those I might like even more than my kids do! 😂
