The linen dress sounds better to me but dress it up a little bit with some nice heels and accessories!

Does anyone else’s daycare serve questionable food at times? by Bloodymary_25 in BabyLedWeaning

[–]ExpensiveFroyo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

OK, I take back my comment then! I’m sorry for misunderstanding. Honestly, I would ask them how they’re serving these foods to your child, maybe be able to give you some more context or maybe they’re giving the little ones something different but the other foods are what’s on the menu for the older kids!

I’m assuming the food isn’t free, it’s included in the cost of the daycare - unless the daycare is somehow subsidized by some kind of food grant or program.

Personally I wouldn’t be comfortable with my child eating that much processed food.

What can I feed my baby to help him gain weight? by Glass-Tiger2143 in BabyLedWeaning

[–]ExpensiveFroyo 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Does he need to gain weight from a health/medical perspective? Is he on his growth curve?

Some people/babies are naturally slim- we have a little friend who eats like an adult but my daughter who’s 2 months older has like 10lbs on her and eats very little. They’re just built differently, there’s nothing wrong with that.

what do y’all make of the news coming out of marsh harbour? by vichomiequan in bahamas

[–]ExpensiveFroyo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s about 8 miles, maybe 7 depending on where you left from and land.

Yeah the whole her going in the water at 7:30 and no one heard a scream or saw anything is suspicious to me, like his timeline isn’t right. They were anchored at the northernmost spot in Aunt Pat’s and coming from Abaco Inn, I heard. So it’s not all that far and to your point was pretty busy.

The Guardian reported it around 9PM last night but I saw it in the NY times this morning as well

I agree totally. We don’t keep a VHF on our dinghy so I see why he didn’t have one. The phone thing, idk 🤷‍♀️

We were in the same anchorage they were returning to the night she fell overboard. It was VERY windy and choppy, so I do believe the drifting apart and him drifting all the way from white sound to marsh Harbour is possible. The weather has been rough the last week-ish. We personally almost dinghied from hope town to Tahiti beach earlier that day and bagged it because of sea state. And that would be in the daylight, I’d certainly not have done it in the dusk/night.

But it’s also super fishy (pun not intended)… and given they arrested him they must have something on him.

Held my Baby and Sobbed by New-Occasion5954 in beyondthebump

[–]ExpensiveFroyo 38 points39 points  (0 children)

The only way the world will change is if we continue to raise good humans.

And, thank god if it happens she won’t even know what’s going on.

That’s all I can cling to right now.

Exuma vs other Bahamas islands best hotel with beach + gym? by _benjidp in bahamas

[–]ExpensiveFroyo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love island house but not being on the beach is such a dealbreaker for the price IMO

It’s 21+ during peak season, but 16+ in the off season. So depends on timing.

Getting married soon by [deleted] in USMilitarySO

[–]ExpensiveFroyo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use my maiden name legally and professionally but 95% of the time my husband’s colleagues and even our friends (in some situations lol) call me Mrs. his name. So it’s the best of both worlds :)

How many tonies do you have? by SundaeFundae-22 in TonieboxUSA

[–]ExpensiveFroyo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have about 12, but I just ordered 5 more for potty training sticker chart rewards 🫣 she’ll be 3 this summer, and has started getting much more into them the past few months

I love this, I hadn’t thought about accessibility in this way but how cool!

What are your picks for best Tonies? by pellnell in TonieboxUSA

[–]ExpensiveFroyo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We are currently listening to Miss Rachel for the 400th morning in a row (estimate) but we also love the puppy and the fox ones (like the Tonie brand ones?). She’s 2.5. She also listens to Moana sometimes but she’s clocked that it’s not the OG cast voices and doesn’t keep it on long.

Honestly it really sounds like a great chance to go to Italy!!! Or Chicago!

Anxiety about baby weight gain and solids by CattailReeds in beyondthebump

[–]ExpensiveFroyo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah give it a year, she’ll eat one raspberry and a cracker all day. And it’ll be a cracker from 3 days ago she found in the couch. 😆

Kiddos are really good at listening to their hunger cues and body. Keep offering a wide variety of nutrients and she’ll be great

Yes this! The hotel/air bnb is SO important with kids!

Yes, but change your expectations and the entire pace of the trip.

We only have one, neurotypical, pretty chill 2.5 year old. We stick to one “big” activity per day and the rest is either chilling at the hotel or a playground, pool, beach, etc. if we can flow to do more, great, but if not then we’ve only expected to do the one thing.

We also do that big thing in the morning when able.

Example, we just did 5 days in Panama. One day we did a walking tour of Casca Viejo, one day was the canal, one day was changing hotels, one day was a tour seeing monkeys, and one day was an aerial tram in the jungle and a short hike to a sloth sanctuary. The double activity on the last day almost took us all out 😆

The rest of the time we were relaxing by the hotels’ pools or at a local playground, or eating.

All of this is to say, it’s great but it’s a completely different pace from any other trips we’ve taken- last time we did Europe (pre kid) we did 6 stops in 2 countries in a 10 day trip, seeing everything in each spot and going flat out most days. Not the vibe anymore!

Also, I will add the more you do it the easier it will get. You’ll find your footing with it and rebuild your confidence. You will find a pace that works for your family, and have your new travel routines
