My 5yo just said “I like Nightmare Before Christmas bc in the beginning he doesn’t know anything about Christmas, in the middle he knows a lot about it but not how to make it happen and in the end he fixes everything” and I swear that’s a better description of how plot works than I’ve ever read

Maybe it’s like vampires, it doesn’t count because it’s dead blood

Breweries are way different now, lots of kids playing, ice cream, food trucks, games, playgrounds. Nobody’s getting thrown at the sandbox, we are all having a good time together and the parents aren’t getting wasted, they’re eating and hanging and having a beer or two.

I don’t think we need protein tortilla chips!!!! I think tortilla chips can just be tortilla chips!!!

Lucy Huber @clhubes.bsky.social · 1d

Saw that Starbucks now has cold foam lattes with added protein in the cold foam and like…I just think it’s enough with the protein. Some things can just be a little treat!!!!

lol this is my house. I can’t stand crumbs, spills, etc so I take care of those immediately, but can’t handle taking care of clutter for weeks.

My first is like this so I had a second so they could play together and leave me alone. They mostly argue but I get a good 6 minutes sometimes.

I don’t think people know how much time I’m spending with these children doing voices and pretending to be a cat or whatever in my house. At the park they are free range unless they’re demand otherwise

Lucy Huber @clhubes.bsky.social · 1d

Sometimes they make me play but if they aren’t????? I’m not gonna start a game???? I’m an adult???

Lucy Huber @clhubes.bsky.social · 1d

Ignoring your kids at the park is good, actually. I mean unless they’re like…very young or in immediate peril

Lucy Huber @clhubes.bsky.social · 1d

I’ve seen a lot of posts from moms like “when you see me on the phone at the park, I’m not ignoring my kids, I’m paying bills, making appts, grocery shopping” but let it be known when I’m on my phone at the park I am ignoring my kids. If my kids aren’t asking me to play I am NOT inserting myself???

Not sober but want my kids to leave me alone

PLAYGROUND!!!!!

Lucy Huber @clhubes.bsky.social · 1d

It’s so hard to make time for this kind of thing in this season of life and I was so grateful people came!! Also got to show off my kittens ❤️

I had a Crafternoon party for my girl friends (woman friends?) yesterday and it was so fun! We painted coasters and candles and made bracelets and ate a ton of snacks (everyone brought a snack and I provided the crafts). So fun to get together without kids, chat and do a craft.

Change of clothes

Lucy Huber @clhubes.bsky.social · 2d

I have two children and two kittens, nothing in this house is ready for visitors ever

Lucy Huber @clhubes.bsky.social · 2d

The person who invites 15 of their friends over for a Crafternoon party a month in advance is not the same person who is frantically cleaning the house for 4 hours the morning of the Crafternoon party because why would I think people could be allowed in this house?????

Also, sorry I know it’s annoying when people do this because you specifically asked for audiobooks but both my kids love the Deep Blue Sea podcast on Spotify. It’s interviews with sea creatures. So cute and I learned a lot!!!

Lucy Huber @clhubes.bsky.social · 2d

My 5yo LOVED the Wayside School books. We read them out loud but there are audiobooks! They’re a little outdated, but nothing wildly inappropriate.

Lucy Huber @clhubes.bsky.social · 2d

Second this BUT there’s a big jump in age level between the first one and the sequels. Found my 5yo was not totally ready to read about murder and dogs cheating on each other in Howliday Inn 😂

Lucy Huber @clhubes.bsky.social · 2d

Omg this is so true. I lost some weight and immediately was like “let’s do a group costume”

Lucy Huber @clhubes.bsky.social · 2d

…this is about literal wagons

I love pumpkin farms because they truly understand what children want is simply Climb to Top of Dirty Hill and Corn Factory Job

Lucy Huber @clhubes.bsky.social · 3d

The children would LOVE the mines but it’s illegal now 🙄🙄
