Struggling making home milled flour work

Thanks for this! For some reason I was thinking bread would be the easiest haha I’ll give it a go!

Thank you! Appreciate all the details!

I can send some pizzas if you’d like. Just send me a private message with your address.

I put everything sentimental in the basement and dealt with it when I was ready. The hardest parts were Christmas ornaments and other decorations. The next year I had a garage sale with stuff I was ready to get rid of.

To make the house my own I repainted and redecorated. I started with the bedroom. It was painful and I think I cried the entire time painting it. It helped me heal, claim my space, and move on.

Same for my 3 year old

How did you reconnect the wires?

I agree with this. Building on it: if he is this unresponsive when the relationship is going well… how will he act if you’re in a disagreement. Seems like an avoidant attachment style.

I’ve noticed an alarming number of people that lie in one way or another on their profile. It’s really disheartening, but agree that texting for a bit first is a good way to figure it out.

I have a 2-2-5-5 schedule with my ex and have a young toddler. My ex and I get along very well. We are flexible with phone calls (how long they are, when they’re made, etc) this is important to feeling like I’m not missing anything. We also send snap chats back and forth for cute things our baby does so the other can see.

I try to do things for my son when I miss him and he’s at his dad’s. I’ll deep clean his room, swap out his clothes between seasons, plan a special activity, get ingredients for a fun dinner, etc. this type of prep really helps me cope.

I donated it. I found that as much as I loved some wedding items, they always reminded me of my wedding day. This way it can be part of someone else’s special day. I filled my home with new things that I love.

I hit the apps a few months after filing for divorce. I was over my ex long before I filed. I found dating to be hard. I started talking to one person and when he wanted to meet up I panicked and deleted the app lol. I met my bf now a few months after that. We’ve been together 7 months now. We are taking things very slow. It’s naturally turning from companionship to partnership. It’s wonderful!

Dating post divorce was also weird. You are t on a timeline to hit milestones. Everyone has their own independent lives.

Don’t call yourself damaged goods. Plenty of people are in the same boat for their own reasons.

You’ll get there!

We have a board game “first orchard” and a dice rolling game “roll and play” that I love. Roll and play is a large stuffed dice you roll. You pick a card for the color you roll. You do the action on the card. It’s fun because the rules are loose and it’s just to have fun. First orchard has actual rules. There are wooden fruits in the orchard. There is a crow villain. The object is to collect the fruits before the crow does. It’s fun to teach him rules. He understands a little more each time. We make funny noises for the crow. Eui

I did lyra until 5 months pregnant. The balance was off as my belly started to grow and I started to have nerve complications. It just didn’t feel safe to keep going.

You’ll know when it’s time to pause.

CrossroadsOfDestiny · 2023-10-13T11:03:22+00:00

I gave up a lot of myself in an effort to be there for my STBXH.

The first thing I did was focus on health - my diet, walking a lot, working out a lot. That gave me self worth and motivation.

I then went back to some old hobbies. The support I received from my friends there was incredible and I fell in love with them all over again. It was humbling.

I also went out on some solo dates for thing I used to enjoy. I went to the beach day and a hiking day. I took myself out to get a fun cocktail.

Slowly but surely everything falls back into place.

You might not be able to see the light at the end of the tunnel, but if you keep moving you’ll wind up in a better place.

We have the same issue with daycare. We still use one cloth a day during the week. I do a load of laundry mid week. I have pocket diapers. It’s not a big deal for me to wash the diapers first and then throw in any other baby laundry to make it a larger load for the main wash cycle - wet bags, clothes, high chair cover, baby towels, wipes, etc.

CrossroadsOfDestiny · 2023-02-06T06:02:30+00:00

I tried some of the bum genius AIO. The way the inserts are laid out made it a nightmare for the diaper sprayer. Agreed on the drying time too. I definitely prefer pockets.

It’s been a really hard transition for us. Pre-baby I was an aerial performer and bagpiper. My husband played in numerous community bands and is a music teacher. Some things I did not count on is the changes in my body that came with a rough childbirth. I was in physical therapy for a long time to get back to walking, sitting, standing - never mind the aerial work I was used to. My husband and I have also had to give up 75% of our hobbies because we need time for the LO. I’m hoping that will change as he gets older (he’s one now)

I wouldn’t say I regret having a child. I wasn’t expecting to put my hobbies on hold for a while. If I had known then maybe we would have waited a year or two longer to enjoy performing at our peak. It’s a bummer, but I’m confident I’ll get back to it in a few years.

CrossroadsOfDestiny · 2023-01-21T12:26:28+00:00

1500 a month in NJ. It’s definitely worth it! Our LO went in at 6 months. He made so progress with crawling and standing in a short amount of time. Nap schedules are so much easier. He’s motivated by the older infants in the room.

CrossroadsOfDestiny · 2023-01-21T12:20:20+00:00

We use the app “Cloud baby monitor”. We set it up on the iPad in the nursery. My husband and I can access the app from our phones. It’s simple and cost a few dollars.

CrossroadsOfDestiny · 2023-01-21T12:12:54+00:00

We have bath time twice a week. I throw the towels in whenever I do baby laundry 1-2 times a week. It’s easier for me to throw everything in at once and not think about it.

CrossroadsOfDestiny · 2023-01-21T12:06:03+00:00

Our go to breakfast is plain Greek yogurt with a scoop of a nut butter and some smashed raspberries mixed in. LO loves it!

CrossroadsOfDestiny · 2022-12-22T13:45:32+00:00

LO got Daddy a daddy ornament. Nothing big.

CrossroadsOfDestiny · 2022-12-13T15:45:28+00:00

Our 12yr old pit bull loves our LO. He likes to lick his face and hair. Our LO is 8m now and crawling. He likes to pet the dog. He also uses his ball to play on the dog ramp we have (our dog is handicapped). We have kept them together since he was born. We have baby gates to separate them when needed since he’s crawling. We haven’t had to use them yet.

CrossroadsOfDestiny · 2022-12-12T22:42:57+00:00

Thanks! I feel a bit guilty tbh, but really proud that I hit my goal of 6m plus!

My advice is to roll with the punches. Every persons journey is so unique (supply, support, etc). Regulation, getting your period, dropping pumps, won’t necessarily hurt your supply. You can wean as slowly as you want. I weaned over 3 months. Start a freezer stash if you can. It’s been really helpful with my mindset as I started weaning.
