1. The anchor routine

Placeholder intro: six weeks, two kids, one parent, zero village. This guide is a realistic, hour-by-hour sanity plan — not a Pinterest fantasy. Internal link to related guide goes here for SEO.

More placeholder body copy. Short paragraphs, one idea per paragraph, written for a tired parent reading on their phone at 6:45 AM while dodging cereal missiles.
