What we DO instead ⬇️

• We leave room for boredom
• We protect sleep like it’s medicine
• We let kids move slowly through their feelings
• We give our evenings back to play, books, and conversation
• We try to model regulation instead of demanding it

Are we perfect at this? Absolutely not.

But the house is calmer.
Bedtime is easier.
And our kids seem more connected to themselves and to us.

So it’s been worth it. #marriedtomedicine #childpsychiatry #parentingtips #momof3 #chicagofamily

As a busy mom of 3, I don’t have time for high-maintenance beauty routines… which is why the Ulike Air 10 has honestly been such a game changer for me. I’ve been using this IPL Hair Removal device at home and love how easy it is to fit into my routine especially with the cooling technology that makes it way more comfortable to use.

Anything that saves me time and helps me feel more confident? Immediate yes.

**Comment IPL and I’ll send you a my promo code and link to your DMs. Don’t miss this biggest sale of the year!**

This was so fun to make— we even got some passerby viewers on 3rd street 🥹🥹 love that we can be in totally different parts of life and still have this connection.

📣 Just ONE more sleep till Nani Camp 📣
Ya’ll, I’m just cozied up in my @shopjotes waiting to share Nani Camp - my new book, out tomorrow - with all of you!
✌🏾 ❤️ 📖
Nani Camp is for anyone who has ever loved or been loved by a grandmother. It’s a cozy intergenerational story about Padma and her Nani and the bonkers amount of love and adventure between the two of them.
✌🏾 ❤️ 📖
The story borrows heavily from my life, inspired by my twin mothers and their deep, enduring and magical love for Satya. As for my nightgown, that’s from my friend @mamajotes new line; she was inspired by her own Mama and Grandma when she founded Jotes.
✌🏾 ❤️ 📖
Comfy clothes. Cozy stories. Mamas and daughters. That’s the good stuff, my friends. (📸 @lovelaughmirch)

Community is one of the most powerful things we have. 💙

This May, I’m joining @afspnational and @afspillinois as a Lifesaver Ambassador for Mental Health Awareness Month and I need your help.

The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention’s A Million in May campaign is raising $1 million to fund suicide prevention research, education, and support programs. Every year in the US, more than 49,000 lives are lost to suicide and for every life lost, an estimated 135 people are affected. That’s millions of families, friends, and communities touched by this loss. I’ve set up a personal fundraising page, and I’m asking this community to show up. Your contribution, whatever the size, helps fund programs that provide real connection and hope to people who need it most.

Link in bio to donate. Let’s do this together. 🙏

Oh how the hierarchy has changed 😂😂😂😂 i’m just kidding. He still tells me what to do and I’m almost 40.

Had to document this rare moment where she actually let me do her hair and she was happy with it. If you have an almost 8-year-old girl, I know I’m not alone…
