Who were the accused #witches from the 15th to 17th century? They were often just women delivering lifesaving care to mothers and babies. They had a significant impact on women and children’s livelihoods, but “society” didn’t like it one bit. They were suspicious of their abilities to care for mothers and babies throughout pregnancy and birth, and some midwives were even prosecuted for it. But that didn’t stop midwifery from persisting and influencing modern healthcare. In fact, the global midwifery market is expected to reach a revenue of $110.10 billion by 2024, with an annual growth rate of 3.65% from 2024 to 2029. 👏 🎃 The more you know 🧙♀️ Happy #Halloween!

Around 42 million people in the U.S. rely on SNAP benefits and approx. 39% of those people are children. If our lawmakers don’t do something by November 1st, families will not be able to afford food. Simply put: this is unacceptable. We need to put pressure on our government! Call, write, share, speak up! Don’t let our children go hungry.

Happy Halloween week to all of my fellow tired moms! 👻 🎃 🧙 🥱💀 🍫 🧟♀️😴 I’ve revamped this old fave in honor of the fact that Halloween—just like everything else in modern parenting—has been put on steroids and is now a month-long celebration instead of a 1-day event [like it was when we were kids]😵💫🫠 Hope you’re hanging in there and weathering any last-min costume changes! SOLIDARITY. Tag your fave fellow tired mom(s) 👯♀️ #halloweencostume #halloweenmom #halloween2025 #tiredmoms #tiredmomssocialclub #tiredasamother #tiredmommy #tiredmom

Oh, you want to be a skeleton for Halloween? Cool! Swipe for “fun” costume options for EVERY age! Note: this was inspired by the REAL costume that I bought for my son last year without even realizing that it was a “Pretty Skeleton” costume “for girls” (swipe to the end to view the packaging) 🙄 WHY DO WE NEED SEPARATE SKELETON COSTUMES FOR BOYS AND GIRLS AGES 5-7? HOW CAN BONES BE PRETTY!?!? THEY’RE LITERALLY JUST BONES!!!!!! Ahhhhhhhhh! 💀☠️💀 #halloweencostume #halloweencostumesforkids #momcomics #feministmom#genderequality

Every mom and baby deserves care during pregnancy, birth, and beyond. But right now, care is slipping further out of reach. Hospitals are closing, maternity wards are disappearing, and care is becoming harder and harder to reach. Instead of fixing the health care crisis they created, Trump and Republican leaders in Congress have shut down the government putting entire communities’ access to care at serious risk. This isn’t about politics. It’s about protecting care, saving lives, and standing up for every family. Every mom and baby deserves care, not cuts. Period. Click the 🔗 in my profile (or story) to add your name! Tell Republican leaders in Congress: Fix the health care crisis. Prevent hospital closures. Reopen the federal government.

If it’s okay when men do it, it should be okay when women do it. If it’s acceptable for men to talk about, it should be acceptable for women to talk about. If it’s fine for men to enjoy it, it should be fine for women to enjoy it. Women: your ple@sure matters too 💫 Try CHEEX free for 7 days with my c0de MOMLIFE - 🔗 in my bio or head to g e t c h e e x . c o m! 👉Also, can you relate to anything I’m saying here?

Happy Witches’ Brew season to all of my fellow witches/unfun moms! 🧙🏻♀️ Btw: I’M ACTUALLY REALLY FUN AND MY KIDS THINK SO, TOO. Just not when an activity involves tons of little pieces [that no one but me ever cleans up] AND we have to leave the house in 15 mins but no one is ready 😵💫 Raise your hand if you, too, are the sole putter-away-er of all of the containers filled with random items collected from ALL OVER THE HOUSE 🙋♀️ [Note: I made this comic back in 2022, thus why my kids look so little in it!] #momhumor #momlifecomics #momanddad #momcomics #toddlermomlife #mentalload #overwhelmedmom #momcomic #mentalloadofmotherhood

I’m sure it’s super easy to make these things! I believe you! And I think it’s AWESOME that you have the energy + motivation to do so (and that you enjoy it)! I really do! It’s just not happening in our house anytime soon 🤷♀️ Raise your hand if you, too, thought you’d be a DIY mom but in reality, you’re not quite as DIY as you expected…🙋♀️ What are some of the “easy-to-make” items you’d rather just buy? 😬 [In my own defense, I’m a BIG arts & crafts/art project mom—I’m just not making anything from scratch when it comes to food or household products. Also, we made our own slime and it was NOT all it’s cracked up to be. Just sayin’.] #momlifecomics #momlife #DIYmom #momhumor #tiredmom #tiredmommy #tiredasamother #honestmom #honestmotherhood
