I don't like being replaced but I'm happy she found someone better 😢

Gorgeous photo

My mom has been using ChatGPT to edit her emails, which means my duties as a good immigrant daughter have been replaced by AI 😭

Well into my thirties and still feel like I'm role playing at adult lol. Where's my game of LIFE

Super tired again this evening, not sure why. Got enough sleep, had a double shot espresso two hours ago. Have too much to do to be this tired 😭

I was 😩 I did the bare minimum and got to rest a bit.

The way I don’t want to adult today, please send motivation 😭

I never understood why people cry at weddings until I became a mom. Saw the father walking the bride down and all I could see was Rob and Jordan twenty years from now and I could not keep it together 😭😭😭

At a wedding with Rob, baby girl is with a sitter, and it is so weird that she’s not here. Feel strangely free but also kinda empty?

I haven’t been on tik tok in four days, please clap

My husband caught me on camera staring lovingly at my toddler as she went on a ride at an amusement park we took her to for her third birthday, and I think it's my favorite video of me ❤️

The booger eating I was not ready for. It is so gross 😭😭😭

I truly did not expect a toddler to have so many opinions 😅

State of HTML 2025 Take the State of HTML survey

The State of HTML 2025 survey is now live! Big thanks to @lea.verou.me for taking the lead on selecting this year's questions and features, as well as suggesting quite a few improvements!

Omg yesssssssss! Those are the best moments 🥰

Picked baby girl up from preschool and she was in a VERY good mood.

Her: I’m so happy!
Me: Why?
Her: Mommy and daddy are here!

Well that’s nice to hear for a change 😅

Oh tysm! I’m trying really hard!

Happy 3rd birthday baby girl 🥰

Baby and girl and I did NOT have a great day. She was so sick of me, I was sick of her, we both had it 😅. Ended with her choosing her birthday cake though so that helped.

Parents, I’m looking to start a birthday tradition for my toddler. Any birthday traditions you have or recommend?

Ty! Yea, I set up an email account for her when she was born and try to email her every often with videos and photos and stuff. I forget about it most of the year but try to remember on important dates/events :)

Toddler turns three tomorrow and I'm writing her a birthday email and I did not expect to cry this much. Just sitting here turning into a puddle 😭😭😭

how is that so beautiful

Very surprised at how much I like being a mom. Especially since we don't have a nanny anymore and now Rob and I have to split the kid-related chores. There are so many! But I've really been enjoying taking on that role, thank goodness 😅

She did not go to bed early and put on an audiobook 😭😭😭

So true!

Got a few hours to myself. So many things I could do but I really just want to go to bed early and put on an audiobook 😩

Hey friends, from the top of your head: what is the best UX of a search bar and search result pages for a text heavy website that you've seen? Thank you 💘

Ok, this makes me feel better. Ty Veni 🥲
