Hi all, I know nothing about football but my husband is an alumni and goes to games every season. He has mentioned interested in the Michigan and Ohio games, probably other games but I can’t remember which.
I want to surprise him with tix to a game he wants to attend. The tix are expensive!

Should I purchase now or is it worth waiting for a lower price closer to the game date?

Any advice and recommendations to make this a thoughtful gift is appreciated! Thank you for your time.

My husband is taking a few weeks leave with PTO. His sick time does not accumulate, use it or lose it each month. No other leave available. I am scared of what it looks like being a SAHM mom of a toddler and newborn. Can anyone please provide tips, recommendations, and advice to best survive?

I’m resilient and an overachiever by nature. This has actually been harmful to me as a first time mom as I took on too much (still do), struggle with grace, and often fear I am not doing enough. I had horrible PPD and suicidal ideation but made it through the first time. After that experience, I have some fears I’m hoping someone can ease with either practical advice or words of encouragement.

I am planning on: baby wearing, meal prepping, not worrying about cleaning, etc.

I am working on: establishing mom friends (I have a couple now but not sure how it’ll help me survive) and trying to convince my MIL to move closer. My own mother has passed. No family locally.

Considering enrolling toddler in some form of childcare/preschool. He will be 2.5.

How do you manage the exhaustion? Any tips for me to survive this? Thank you!

Sincerely,
A scared mama
