Skylight

We took out a full-page ad in the The New York Times to say: this Mother’s Day, it’s time to give mom LESS. Less carrying everyone's schedule in their head. Less having to nag to make sure things actually get done. Less feeling like everything would collapse if they weren’t the one holding it all together. As a company that helps families share the mental load, we often talk to moms who are struggling to stay afloat — not because they can't handle it, but because they're handling *all* of it. But it doesn’t have to be that way. And when families actually share that load? Everything shifts. That’s exactly why we built Skylight Calendar. Because a family that works together as a team is the best gift of all. 💙

When organization feels good *and* looks good, it’s more likely to stick. We’re excited to share our limited-edition collaboration with Hearth & Hand™ with Magnolia: a Skylight Calendar designed to bring calm, coordination, and intentional design into everyday family life. With next-generation performance, an exclusive antique brass frame, and custom screensaver art, this Calendar blends the tools families rely on with a look that feels right at home.

New year, same mental load? 😮💨 For most families, the hard part of keeping everything running isn’t staying organized. It's that all the plans — the schedules, grocery lists, and spirit weeks — live in one person's head. We asked Phil Boucher, M.D., pediatrician and dad of six, what parents can do to lighten the load. His take? The reset most families actually need isn’t doing more — it’s sharing more. “Small shifts, like shared routines, visible plans, and collective ownership, can dramatically reduce stress and create more calm in everyday family life. When the mental load is no longer invisible, it becomes lighter for everyone.” Read the full blog to see how sharing the mental load can help families work better together: https://lnkd.in/gywijTZ4

“I have told my kids for years that my tattoo is temporary and I put it on every day.” – Mom, 48 “I once forgot to do the laundry and had my kid go commando all day.” – Dad, 29 "Not sure what’s tougher—the guilt of being away, or the chaos when I’m home.” - Mom, 50 Over the past month, we asked parents to share their anonymous confessions, and more than 1,000 responded. So today, Skylight is launching something new: a place to say the quiet part out loud. Skylight Confessions is a safe, anonymous space for parents to share what they’re really carrying, and to feel a little less alone. Why? Because at Skylight, we believe families work best when they work together, and that starts by saying the hard stuff out loud. It’s raw, sometimes hilarious, always real and built on one truth: you’re not the only one. Take a peek. Read a few. Add your own: skylightconfessions.com
