Hi Reader,
​

As a mom, I spend so much time managing my kids’ schedules, RSVPing to birthday parties, and taking my kids to celebrate with their friends. As I’m sure you do, too!
​

And every. Single. Time. The same question pops up. What to buy? How much to spend? What’s popular for kids this age?
​

So in my never-ending quest to reduce the Mom Mental Load, I put the question to y’all on Instagram. I asked you to share only the best and most used gifts your kids have enjoyed.

​

From your amazing suggestions, I pulled together the best birthday party gifts separated by age. This is the ONE list we can reference every time a party pops onto the calendar!

​

I even included a page of Target favorites that you can order for curbside pick up on the way to the party for those last minute moments when you completely forgot to plan ahead.

​

​

(And make sure to SAVE this email so you can always find the birthday gift guide when you need it!)​

New This Week From Mama Knows

I set out to make a kid-approved spaghetti casserole recipe. Why? Almost zero prep. One dish. Throw it in the oven.

And it’s….actually delish.

MKN Exclusive Deal

Kettle & Fire Bone Broth

With picky eaters who just want to eat carbs, I HAD to find a way to boost their meals so they wouldn’t be hungry again 5 minutes later.
​

You can use bone broth in so many ways and it adds a good bit of protein to the foods your kids love! It makes mealtimes simpler because I can do something like ramen noodles in bone broth and just serve some fruit on the side, and still be confident they are getting a balanced meal.

​

I always have the classic chicken flavor on hand! The most common ways I use it:

• Cook ramen noodles in it
• Cook rice in it (I usually do ½ water ½ bone broth)
• Cook potatoes in it to make mashed potatoes (or potato soup!)
• Cook veggies in it until very soft, then puree veggies with broth to make a veggie-bone broth that I freeze into cubes and then add into meals later on
