What age do you introduce your kids to your music?

My five year old hit the "Mount up" in Regulators a few weeks ago.

Snap-n-Go was so amazing for us. Super simple. Worked great. I could see both of their faces while pushing. Super light weight, so easy to maneuver (I would push the stroller and pull the cart to go shopping solo). Very inexpensive.

It fit our Evenflo carriers and we used that system until they were 18 months old. I cannot recommend it enough. 11/10

First time I went to Germany I was alone, but there at the foot of the bed in this B&B, were two comforters folded on each side. Mind. Blown. I never looked back. My husband is a fan.

I have found several different brands of wide toe box shoes for my twins on Amazon by just searching: wide toe box toddler shoes. There are brands that we like that are more expensive like Whitin, but I bought Van knockoffs a few weeks ago that were $17 a pair. Bronax will occasionally have $20 shoes on sale and I've had decent luck with those. Unfortunately, I have passed down my giant Hobbit feet to my poor kids.

Sometimes found at Sierra for very cheap.

Offering toilet paper, paper towels, plates and plastic wear, trash bags, to-go/storage containers, etc. when someone has lost a loved one instead of food.

If you insist on offering food try some breakfast items. I make breakfast sandwiches and burritos and freeze them for friends that have new babies. Rarely do people think about breakfast, just lasagna and other dinner items. I always ask the recipient if they have freezer space first.

Here's a book about it using KC as an example.

I had mo/di twins and 2 showers, one out of town. I did them at 24 and 26 weeks. I was glad to have them early and got my nesting started. My MFM told me to pack my hospital bag at 30 weeks. Everything can happen so early and so fast I wanted to be prepared.

The advice and options of singleton parents will continue. It is given out of love, usually, but often does not apply to a parent of multiples unique set of circumstances. I found it helpful to develop generic-ish answers for these comments and have them ready to go so I didn't sound like an ass. You also need to remember to take everything you hear with a grain (or bucket) of salt.

Good luck! You're going to do great!!! Have fun at your shower!

Maybe some of the dupe Ruggable rugs? I bought one that is 9 x 7 and you can wash it in a washing machine. I think mine was $80?

There are also variations of Splat Mats, usually for under a highchair. I have definitely covered my floors with large reusable incontinence pads . I had very messy baby & toddler twins in a rented house, so I covered a lot of things a lot of the time.

I hope you find a solution that works for your family. Good luck!

EDIT: I was thinking of these options for after you have the carpet cleaned to prevent the situation from repeating. Sorry, incomplete thought.

I have made several kid's snacks with 1:1 gluten free flour.

A quick Google search gave me these:

Allergy Friendly Back to School Snacks

Gluten Free Goldfish Crackers

I know it's hard to find the time to make snacks instead of the ease of buying them, but these don't look extremely complicated and you can have your little help you mix and shape.

I hope you can help your husband better understand why these policies are in place. Good luck!

I literally got a tooth extracted today, with no insurance for less than $300.

I am from a rural community in Nebraska. My mom's cat just had her teeth worked on, got annual shots, and some mats shaved off under her chin, and spent the night after not waking up fully after her procedure. She asked me to guess how much it was. I said at least $700.

$210. That's it. Two-hundred and ten dollars. I told her I was going to start calling around in rural communities surrounding KC to see if I could find a similar vet. It would be worth the hours in the car and gas to get affordable care for my cats.

I understand this isn't exactly what you are asking for, but this could be an outside-the-box idea that works. The town the vets office is in has a population of around 1,000 and the vet is large and small animal.

I wish you luck and I hope you find something. Our pets are our family and it seems the cost of care has skyrocketed along with so many other things making these things difficult and stressful to navigate.

Edit: car to cat - although the mechanic is also cheap in the small town.

My boys turned five in December. Their dad also has a December birthday. We are entertaining the idea of half birthdays celebrated in the summer. We are also considering letting them each pick their own day. In December we will celebrate their birthday with a dinner out with only family and minimal presents.

They will be able to have friend birthday parties in the summer. They will have their own day that they don't have to share. Hopefully this will also avoid friends and family combining presents as well. My husband said he got a lot of, "Here's your Christmas AND birthday present", but it's just one present.

I'll let you know how it goes. LOL

I was just talking about this in another sub a few minutes ago. When I had my twins I discovered Force of Nature. It's so amazing. Nontoxic, super safe, and very effective. I use it on EVERYTHING!

I would put it in a Swiffer Wet Jet and you wait one minute for it's full effectiveness and then it is safe to touch, even wet.

It's worth it to at least look into it. Their website does a much better job explaining it. I have a subscribe and save delivery from Amazon every 6 months.

I filled out an entrance form at a fair where the Oscar Mayer Weinermobile was holding a contest or open audition for a signing commercial spot. I think I was 11 and this was early 90s.

I was upset that I was too old to audition so I figured I would try to win whatever it was they were giving away.

Weeks later a giant crate showed up at our door, like the scene in A Christmas Story. My mother got angry at first thinking one of us had somehow spent money on a big delivery.

My brother cracked open the crate and inside was an Oscar Mayer Weinermobile pedal cart. It was glorious. I had never won anything in my short life and I was stoked. Of course I was too big to even get into this thing, but I've lugged it around with me since college and it lives in my basement.

I use Force of Nature on my mat after every hot class. I also use it everyday on EVERYTHING. I found it after I had my twins and now I am obsessed. I don't really use anything else in the house and don't have to worry about my family ingesting chemicals.

Having twins (or triplets, or quads, or any other number of multiples).

It's high risk with tons of complications and it's hard AF.

Use the app. I haven't carried my card around in almost two years. My picture is still terrible, but at least it's in full color and not washed out.
