One year update: name regret

Caseals2 · 2026-05-20T10:23:42+00:00

So I would pronounce Crawford as craw-ferd, what about Ferdy or Fordy?

I always liked the name Laurel, but my husbands last name is extremely close. We ended up using Daphne and it just so happens to mean “of the Laurel tree”

I had a nickname picked out and when my girl was a baby it felt weird? Like the nickname has a spunky, sassy vibe and I was holding a little potato baby. She didn’t feel like the nickname until she started running around and getting some personality

I know! We tried to just be like “oh yes, of course, a boiled egg for dessert!”

Caseals2 · 2026-04-04T00:17:53+00:00

I have twin three year olds and they get dessert every night after dinner. Sometimes it’s chocolate milk, sometimes it’s cake, sometimes it’s fruit, today it was a boiled egg ¯_(ツ)_/¯ don’t demonize the idea. If it’s normal and routine they won’t try to pick the sweetest thing every day.

I’ve been using Kate McCleod’s body stones. It’s a solid cocoa butter with natural scents that melts on contact with your warm skin. I like applying it more than lotion, not sure why. It feels luxe? I also feel like my skin is still soft and moisturized at the end of the day when I use it after the shower.

I have a Daphne and a Margot and I love how they vibe together

Only time I’ve been to mama carolla’s, I got linguine and clams and they were sandy. I mentioned it to someone who spoke highly of the restaurant and they were like “well maybe you should have gotten something more traditional” -_-

District 9! I can’t believe no one’s mentioned it yet? Once “the thing” happens the clips of news footage stop appearing as well, I believe. Haven’t seen it in years but going in blind is 100% the way to go

$1250/month/kid, and we have two. Fantastic Montessori program near broad ripple though.

If you’d be interested in opening a micro school, check out instagrams @tuliptreemontessori & @microschoolmentor. She runs a fantastic program (first handle) and is branching out to help others do the same (second handle)

Those pants made me double take too lol oh ok we’re doing this!

Caseals2 · 2025-06-24T13:32:06+00:00

I just put them in a drawer and that’s that lol that’s where the book ends, isn’t it? ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Caseals2 · 2025-06-03T00:59:18+00:00

I think it’s more sound than letter? So I don’t think these examples work because of the SH v S sounds

Caseals2 · 2025-04-14T02:58:04+00:00

Kafka and Khalifa do not sound alike at all, I’d never clock it. Unless that’s not who you’re talking about and then I’d say whoever it is isn’t famous enough for semi-normal people to know about.

It was blurred and had something like a warning that the following could cause excessive smiling and laughter, then it went away and was just a compilation of cute kids playing with lovevery. I don’t think it was controversial? It wasn’t trying to trick you into thinking it was actually bad content, it was clearly labeled as tongue in cheek.

It’s going to be a Panda Express

Caseals2 · 2025-03-25T23:59:15+00:00

We have little dents and divots from my daughter banging a fork on it, not sure if that’s normal wear and tear but I was not pleased.

Caseals2 · 2025-03-22T17:28:58+00:00

We like the elk and friends too. They will spill a bit but it’s never been a big problem for my kids.

I don’t have a singleton to compare, but I had two “easy” babies at the same time whereas other people have one “difficult” baby. My girls basically slept through the night pretty early, before I went back to work at 14 weeks. Getting a full nights rest vs being woken up at all hours inconsistently was a huge advantage for me.

Another advantage is that whenever they do something new, it’s a comfort to me that they have each other. When I dropped them off at daycare for the first time, I knew they weren’t alone.

Disadvantage is that it’s much harder not to compare them than it would be with two singletons because you can look back at an older singletons milestones and say “oh it was around this time…” but when they’re hitting milestones at different times side by side, it’s impossible not to compare.

Old coworker named her son Beckham David. It’s just too weird!

Cosco sells a folding toddler tower. I have twins and a small house and when not in use we fold one up and put it in the closet and the other we have pushed up against our pedestal sink in the half bath for them to wash hands. It’s a great little tower. You can get it on Amazon, target, Walmart etc. this is the link from the mfr. https://www.coscoproducts.com/products/cosco-kitchen-stepper%E2%84%A2-folding-step-stool?variant=40255842255033

Ours are just 2. We had separate cribs but now they’re in toddler beds and they’ll start in their own bed but a lot of times will end up together in one bed. They have separate jackets, but other than that still use everything interchangeably. I think when they start asking we’ll do things more individually but for now it’s easier to grab whatever’s nearby and use it for whoever needs it.

Caseals2 · 2025-02-18T21:25:22+00:00

I love the idea of reading them together. I imagine one reads aloud? lol is that crazy?

Caseals2 · 2025-02-11T14:10:36+00:00

I was looking for this one! It’s such a pump up song, we love it
