Life’s a lot like poker. Annie Duke says it best — we rarely get to play with all the facts on the table. Instead, we make the best call with the cards we’ve got. Mamas, look how far you’ve already come! You’ve survived the week without killing anyone (points for that 🎉), and you did it while making a hundred small bets on your family, your home, and yourself… often with incomplete information. That takes grit, instinct, and trust in yourself. Here’s the truth: you don’t need to know everything to make good decisions. You just need to keep choosing the mostly right next step. That’s what stacks the wins. And now? It’s Friday. Let’s subtract the stress of weekdays, toss the jungle machete in the corner, and look forward to weekend mode tonight. You’ve earned it. 👉 What’s one mostly right decision you made this week that you’re proud of? Drop it below — let’s stack up those small wins together.

One of my favorite things about one-on-one time with my kids is how it lets them see me in a different light. Not just “mom with a to-do list,” but a person they can laugh with, hang out with, and one day—be friends with. I think of it like a cord we’re weaving across the years. Every coffee date, errand run, or quiet walk together adds another strand. And when they leave home, that cord is strong enough to hold us close. What about you? 🌱 Do you remember the first time your kids saw you outside the Mom Role? Were they startled, surprised, or maybe even laughed at the idea of you just being… you? Drop your story below—I want to hear it. 💬✨

@Leia Jones hopped into tonight’s Campfire and shared about her co-op—two houses, ten doors apart, with all the joys and headaches of logistics. She’s still leading her water aerobics class at the Gretna YMCA (👏👏), and though our time was short, it gave me space to reflect. I’ve been sitting with this Annie Duke quote: “There is no sin in finding out there is evidence that contradicts what we believe. The only sin is not using that evidence as objectively as possible to refine those beliefs going forward.” As moms, this is big. Our choices—how we feed, teach, discipline, or love—are all guided by beliefs we’ve carried or inherited. But the world keeps shifting, and sometimes the bravest thing we can do is admit, “I might have been wrong,” and let new evidence refine us. We don’t have to nail 100% certainty (it barely exists). What we can do is make the next mostly right move—an 80% decision that’s good enough to move our families forward. ✨ Tonight’s question: Where in your life or home can you let go of the pressure to be perfectly right, and instead allow yourself to update and refine as you go?

Okay Mamas, midweek check-in time. What’s making you roll your eyes, grit your teeth, or mutter under your breath today? The endless snack demands? 🍪 The socks that somehow multiply in secret? 🧦 Or maybe the never-ending “what’s for dinner?” chorus? 🍲 This is your safe zone to let it out. Drop your one-line whine below 👇 — short, sweet, and real. Because sometimes naming the frustration is the first step to subtracting its power. 💥

If you could wave a magic machete and chop one thing out of your daily chaos, what would it be? 🧺 Laundry? 📱 Doomscrolling? 👟 Shoes multiplying by the door? Here’s the kicker: when we subtract, it’s not just about less stuff. It’s about more space for our priorities — the things that actually matter. So tell me: what would you cut, and what priority would that subtraction protect? --- 🔥 Campfire Tonight! 🔥 8 pm Central. Bring your tea, your messy bun, and your honest self. We’ll be talking subtraction, sanity, and the “why” behind it all.
