The holiday season is basically a marathon in mom-world: shopping lists, family drama, sugar highs, and tinsel explosions. 🎁✨ So here’s my thought — Omaha-area Jungle Moms, what if we formed our own Holiday Survival Squad? A simple monthly meet-up in November and December — coffee shop, diner, nothing fancy, totally free — just a chance to refuel, reset, and remind ourselves we’re human before diving back into the holiday madness. Drop a ☕ if you’re in — I’ll start scouting spots! 👉 And for my non-local mamas, don’t worry — the Campfire is still burning bright tonight for our whole Jungle crew. 🔥

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. 💥

Here’s the truth: If we don’t clear, we can’t add. 🪓 If we don’t subtract, our goals stay crowded out. 🪓 If we don’t cut the noise, our homes can’t feel the way we want them to. 🪓 If we don’t remove the distractions, we can’t be fully present with the people who matter most. Otherwise, what’s left? Being so busy, so stretched, that the only relief is to doomscroll? That feels… sad. And we deserve more. ✨ Jungle Question: What’s your why for subtracting? — To reach a goal? — To shape the feel of your home? — To be more present? Drop it below ⬇️ — your why might help another mom see hers more clearly.

This week, we face death. Not the graveyard kind—the survival kind.Because in a wild jungle (and in our homes), subtraction is survival. Jane knows—if the vines get too tangled, you cut them back so the light can reach the ground. The same goes for us. 👉 What needs to “die” in your life? A habit? A pile of clutter? A belief that’s been choking out your growth? Today, start your Kill List. Write it down—every single thing that needs to go. Big or small. Practical or symbolic. Then let it stare back at you until you’re ready to strike. 🪓 Jane doesn’t drag dead vines through the jungle—why should you?

Let’s take a break from subtraction and get a little silly… What’s your favorite season—Fall, Winter, Spring, or Summer? 👉 Share a GIF in the comments that best represents your season of choice! Let’s fill the thread with all the cozy sweaters, blooming flowers, blazing suns, and snowy days. 🌿✨
