Hi all, I've pretty much abandoned this app because the new logo makes my skin crawl and I can't stand looking at it. So, find me on Instagram, Threads, and now BlueSky at alvinaling, or at TikTok at planetalvina. I do miss what this app used to be, though! 😭.

No obligation, but if you're able to help a little, that would take some pressure off! (Honestly, having gone through this with Greg and not having children, I can't imagine how stressful it is with four little ones!).
