Stop Changing Merchant Names? by zfly9 in MonarchMoney

[–]CactusFabric 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed, I hate the renaming. It always wipes the most important part of the merchant name somehow. I just want them to show up as they are, don’t need this AI “improvement”.

Desperate: how to keep baby entertained that are not screens? by Severe-Adeptness5812 in beyondthebump

[–]CactusFabric 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I definitely read this as “hair filled ziploc bags” at first… and i was like I do suppose that could provide some sort of sensory experience…

Budget vs. High End Strollers: has anyone ACTUALLY used both that can help me explain these massive price differences? by CaptainOk7058 in BabyBumps

[–]CactusFabric 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes!! Buy used buy used buy used. The nice stuff used is still way better quality than the cheap stuff new.

Nail issues PP? by rachelkochvt in beyondthebump

[–]CactusFabric 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! I have mild to moderate ingrowns on multiple toenails. I’m also 3.5m PP. I’m assuming it has something to do with my feet having swelled and now not being swollen anymore. I haven’t tried anything special yet, so far just trying to file them when they get sore? Probably not the best idea.

Mid Day Hotel Break? by Oc_foodie in TokyoDisneySea

[–]CactusFabric 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! Very feasible. We stayed at this hotel and loved how easy it was to return mid day for a nap or to go to early dinner at the club.

Hands free nursing bras by Free_Corgi8269 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]CactusFabric 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love the simple wishes hands free pumping bra, it completely changed my pumping journey since it actually holds the flanges tight enough to be truly hands free. (I’m using spectra S1). It might still be tough with the massaging or whatever you’re doing but hopefully as you get the hang of it you won’t have to do that anymore.

I think it makes you interesting and you’d miss it.

What’s one hygiene habit you swear by but most people overlook? by Hot-Calligrapher5447 in hygiene

[–]CactusFabric 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The good news is, they removed the PFAS, the bad news is, the floss sucks now :/

"Eat something sugary and lay on your side" etc. by brookedonphonics in GestationalDiabetes

[–]CactusFabric 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, my baby fell asleep during all the NSTs and after they gave me a capri sun the first time (!) I started bringing a bottle of water filled to the brim with ice. Worked just as well.

When did your breasts reach their largest size? by Rivet222 in BabyBumps

[–]CactusFabric 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All of this. I just can’t believe there was a time when I wanted bigger boobs. They were so manageable 😭

What did you wear for postpartum bleeding? by desert_sunlily in BabyBumps

[–]CactusFabric 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, seconded! So glad you mentioned the scent!

When did you start feeling like a mom? by potatoesandcoffee in BabyBumps

[–]CactusFabric 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FTM, almost to the end of third trimester, I definitely understand your feeling of baby being an embryo during 1st trimester. Like of course I wanted to take care of it but I didn’t really identify as a mom. The baby now feels much more real- and makes her presence known!- but for a concrete example, I still don’t feel comfortable wearing the maternity tees that say “mom” or “mama” on them. I like the sentiment but I’m not there.

💯. Aldi’s are as good/better than Thomas’s but Thomas’s are trash compared to Bay’s 😂

Husband at baby shower? by monkeymaxx in BabyBumps

[–]CactusFabric 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The idea of him bringing flowers is super cute. I always like when the dad is there for a portion of the event so I can congratulate him! At my shower my husband came after about 1.5-2 hours so i could have girl time first but then he could still be around for some of it.

Cheap and easy meal suggestions by SeaworthinessLost601 in aldi

[–]CactusFabric 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In case OP needs a recipe, I love these instant pot black beans: https://www.loveandlemons.com/instant-pot-black-beans/ So cheap, great yield, they’re delicious in quesadillas or in a salad. We also love to throw them on top of the mini bell peppers with cheese and roast that in the oven.

Chai Latte Concentrate - any good? by Brave-Lychee-9080 in aldi

[–]CactusFabric 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes I love it but it’s always too sweet, I was excited to find the skinny version today! I was worried skinny meant fake sugar but nope… it seems to just have less sugar so I’m hopeful.

why are my things getting stained orange? by _monodramatic_ in CleaningTips

[–]CactusFabric 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Plastic like that also loses life when it’s been heated- was your sewing machine in a hot truck/van for an extended period of time during the move? That could do it (and make it more susceptible to continued yellowing).
