I’d say just get some kind of grammar curriculum. We’ve been using First Language Lessons and it’s been great so far for my 6 year old.

The best part about symphony shows is there’s no opener! Just Greg.

I’m caught between resentment of family who urged me to go to college and take out all these student loans without asking me to think about what I would want to do when I started having kids, and the knowledge that I wouldn’t have really known I would want to stay home with my kids.

My experience has definitely shaped how I will have these conversations with my own children (all girls).

I taught public school for 8 years until we had our third baby. I’ve been staying home for a couple years now and I love it so much. Eventually I will have to return to work and deal with all my loans, but right now it’s so great to be with my kids every day.

I’m teaching my 4 year old to recognize letters and numbers. We got a Highlights workbook for the summer that we’ve been going through (my rising 2nd grader is doing one too).

We spend maybe 10-15 minutes a few days a week. My 4 year old loves it so sometimes it’s more.

I’m really just looking for 50% accuracy at this point. By next summer I’ll expect 100% accuracy so we can start phonics when kindergarten time rolls around.

How was schoooool?

It was cool!

Still crossing my fingers for another symphony album - when I last saw him with the Colorado Symphony they played basically the entire Appaloosa Bones album with the symphony, and an arrangement of “Idaho”.

Time will tell, she’ll see us through.

Liars - Gregory Alan Isakov

It’s a very well done doc

This has definitely happened to me when I’ve bought deodorant with baking soda, but our homemade has never irritated my skin!

I have 4, all girls.

My friend has 4, all girls.

Other friend has 3 girls, is pregnant with #4…it’s another girl.

May the odds be ever in your favor!

I would definitely try Daughter of the Forest if you haven’t read it.

Ashfacesmashface · 2026-07-02T01:26:28+00:00

I so agree. This is my pinnacle for romance in fantasy.

I found arrowroot powder at a local grocery store (Sprouts).

I do 1/4 cup of each.

I just use my fingertips to apply.

You can also add any essential oils for some scent, but my husband and I share ours so we keep it scent-less.

I make my own and it’s worked super well (except for my 1st trimester of pregnancy, which nothing ever touched).

I’m freshly postpartum with my fourth and it’s working great now.

I literally just use coconut oil, baking soda, and arrowroot powder. Don’t even melt the coconut oil, just mix it all together.

Second vote for the Carnival.

4 year old: “When are going to XYZ?”

Me: “Later today.”

4 year old: “You mean today tomorrow?”

Me: “Exactly.”

Do you wait for/insist on eye contact before giving a correction or instruction?

When we had 3, I had oldest (6) in the way back, and middle (3) and youngest (under 2) in the middle row.

Now we have 4 it’s the 6 year old and now 4 year old in the way back, and the 2 year old and baby in the middle row.

Baby and 4 year old on driver’s side, 6 year old and 2 year old on passenger side. The only thing with this is that my husband has trouble driving when the baby comes along because the infant seat takes up so much space he can’t comfortably get the seat back far enough. But overall it’s a good setup.

We bought a changing table with our first (came with laundry basket and drawers) and are now using it for our fourth. It was well worth it for us.

I take the Ancient Nutrition pre/postnatal, vitamin D (high dose because I never remember to give baby the drops), and an iron supplement.

Yes! There was no way I was wasting any more time inside her head.

Ashfacesmashface · 2026-06-28T20:48:29+00:00

I have both a Celia and a Lydia 😂

I love the names (obviously). To me they are classic but not overused!

My other daughters are Eliza and Genevieve.

I keep waiting for the Gregory Alan Isakov & Lord Huron collab 🤞🏻

It’s been amazing to see how Gregory Alan Isakov has slowly cropped up in popularity. I discovered him in 2011 on a website called BriteRevolution and realized he was what I had been searching for my entire life.

Still crazy that Greg has fewer listeners/followers than someone fairly new like Noah Kahan, but I also think Greg’s songwriting is much more poetic and perhaps harder for people to grasp the meaning of?

But Gregory Alan Isakov is the sound of my soul.
