W: Broken AC Th: AC guy steps through ceiling while fixing F: email from preschool- COVID in class S: 4yo has fever and tests positive Masking all day trying to take care of 4yo without spreading to other kids, especially my oldest with Down syndrome who gets wiped out by respiratory viruses. 🥺

@shannongaitz.bsky.social @amikebloomtype.bsky.social Thank you so much for the newbie guide to #SurvivorAU ! AU vs the World was my first season and now I’m almost through the amazing 2017 season and was wondering where to go next. Perfect timing! You guys are awesome!! #RHAP

So happy to not have to jump through hoops for this now!

My youngest has been in preschool a total of 3 days and I already got an email about hand foot and mouth in the prek classes 😭

I have never watched an international season of Survivor. Are all of them this good?? Only problem is keeping up with three episodes a week without getting spoiled 😅 #SurvivorAU vs World

The new school year is almost here and I have a newly licensed 16 year old who will be driving himself to and from school. This is both amazing and terrifying! 😅

I enjoy reading the different parenting perspectives shared by these women. The articles are thought-provoking, funny, and heartfelt. I have been a mother for 18 years but am still learning and open to new ideas. I also am reassured that I am getting some things right! 😅

Survived my 20th anniversary trip to Disney with my husband, our 5 kids, my sister, dad, and stepmom! Drove hours to get there, walked so many miles in 90+ degrees heat for days and still had a wonderful time! Returned to California Grill for our anniversary dinner and everything was amazing 🥰

this cast is BONKERS! #survivor50

My 4 year old has been allergic to eggs since his first try at 6 months old so I have barely had eggs in the house the past 3 years. We are now at the stage where we have to challenge him with baked egg but he doesn’t like the taste even disguised in muffins. If only he knew the price per egg. 😅

I’ve checked this list for myself, family, and friends to make sure our votes were counted. If you’re in NC or know someone in NC you can search by name and county.

This is the biggest, underreported news right now. Republicans are trying to STEAL an election in North Carolina. Straight up. This is a test case for 2026 and 2028. They will never voluntarily give up power again.

Eva reveals that she has autism to the rest of the #Survivor48 cast, reducing Jeff to tears

Thank you Survivor for highlighting the stories of Kamilla, Shauhin, Kyle, and Joe. It’s important we learn the history and struggle of people unlike ourselves so we can learn, grow, and centre humanity which united all people. #survivor #survivor48

#Survivor48 host Jeff Probst takes us inside the franchise's most emotional moment ever: 'We put more time and energy and thought into getting this scene right than anything I can ever remember.' #Survivor ew.com/jeff-probst-...

#Survivor48 recap: Eva and Joe make us all cry our eyes out in the franchise's most impactful scene ever. #Survivor ew.com/survivor-48-...

You could feel this look through the tv screen. Very powerful and emotional moment that brought me to tears. Although in stills without context he looks menacing 😂 #Survivor #RHAP

It was incredible to watch what Eva teach Joe to do upon meeting her in the premiere if she an episode. And 4 episodes later, he puts that into practice 💜 #Survivor48

Back on #NCSU campus yesterday for first time in over 20 years to watch the women win at Reynolds Coliseum! Go pack! 🐺♥️

Happy #WorldDownSyndromeDay ! My family has been part of this amazing community for almost 18 years. My son has brought me so much love and joy and given me a new outlook on what is most important in life. I would not be the same person without his impact. I am so grateful and lucky to be his mom.

I need to stay off this app until I catch up on #Severance because every other post is people talking about the finale. 😅 My husband and I both fell asleep half way through episode 8 this week. 😂

Tomorrow is #WorldDownSyndromeDay! The 21st day of the 3rd month, aa people with Down syndrome have 3 copies of chromosome 21 instead of 2. We wear “lots of socks” to celebrate. Bright, funky, mismatched (not odd!), because different is good, and because chromosomes look a bit like socks 😊

#WorldDownSyndromeDay this is *almost* my favourite thing I’ve been involved with relating to Down syndrome. Thanks as ever to the fabulous @drlindadykes.bsky.social for her design skills. Link to download a pdf version in the comments

Just watched #Paradise episode 7. It was terrifying and gripping and brilliant acting all around. James Marsden and Sterling K. Brown and Julianne Nicholson are so good! #RHAP

My protein bar and coffee with peppermint mocha creamer is basically just a candy bar and hot chocolate for breakfast.

Much of the discourse about #TraitorsUS feels dismissive towards people upset by Danielle’s word choices at the roundtable. People saying it’s just a game don’t seem to understand that her words hurt a community of people. I appreciate her strategy and other choices but that crossed a line. #RHAP

I am the Worst Girl at Yoga. Sometimes, that is. Sometimes you are too. I'm explaining that concept and why I consider it a gift to other moms (and yogis) in The Pomegranate today: open.substack.com/pub/thepom/p...

Feelings about that roundtable, as a neurodivergent person, and a Carolyn and Danielle fan. #TheTraitors #TheTraitorsUS

I’ve barely cooked the past two weeks because I have been so sick. My kids have loved all the take out and quesadillas and pasta, but I’m excited to finally serve my family a healthy meal tonight where the vegetable isn’t jarred tomato sauce and the protein isn’t cheese. 😂

I wrote about why everyone needs to chill the fuck out about screens or - more accurately - what we talk a out when we talk about screens ⬇️⬇️

I wrote an essay about the strange impossibility of losing a parent while becoming a parent. Maybe this has been you, and maybe you want to read it. www.the-pom.com/p/finding-a-...

These week for @thepom.bsky.social I wrote about dividing my undivided attention between three kids. Subscribe today to get our weekly essays! Next week's from Lucy Huber is not to be missed www.the-pom.com/p/you-have-m...

Ooo...Boston Rob in his formal baseball hat... #Survivor #TheTraitors

My kids were playing hair salon with me and my 11 year old daughter excitedly asked when I got fairy hair put in. 🫠 I had to admit out loud to her and to myself that I have not had any put in and that I have a noticeable amount of grey hair 😆

On #Survivor whenever Jeff Probst says “hey apply to be on survivor” I think yes I would love to do that. Then I remember I’m 44 years old and also three of my kids still cry when I leave to go to the dentist 😂😭

My three year old thinks “snake” is spelled “snake+” because he loves playing the snake.io+ game on Apple Arcade. A little too much screen time perhaps but at least he can kind of spell something 🤷🏻‍♀️ “S-N-A-K-E-plus that spells snake” 😂

When you have no posts nothing seems important enough to make a post about 😅

Hi I’m Melissa! Wife and stay at home mom of 5 wonderful kids. Fleeing the doom scrolling of twitter and trying to engage more over here about shows I love and excited to connect with the #RHAP and #Suvivor communities! Also here for the funny, heartwarming, and frazzled mom posts 😂
