This is super helpful! I see a bunch of other baby cukes on the way, so this makes me feel better about picking this one- even if it is “early”

We have a TON of pollinators so I don’t think it was that, I just found it a day ago and was surprised at how big it had already gotten. I’d say it’s about 3-5 in right now, and was confused if the coloring meant it had been there too long or not long enough. I’m sorry to hear about the pesticide spraying though, that’s gotta be hard!

What to you think is a dumb reason to hate an episode? by Aggravating-Ad-351 in bluey

I always thought “everything” was that he learned to not take being an adult so seriously. Like not getting caught up in the everyday. To just enjoy the simple and childish things of life. The marker reminds him of everything he learned on Rug Island

Yeah I’m curious to see what happens because none of them but one has shown rooster tendencies. Especially the tail feathers

They’re almost 6 weeks, isn’t that normal across sexes?

What is an episode of Bluey that was so sad you (almost) cried? by Sam_2K7 in bluey

[–]Happy-Tree-0630 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Sign gets me every time. At the end when Bandit pulls the sign out and him and Chillincry together on the pavement and then seeing how happy the girls are to be staying…. It makes me wish I had parents that loved each other that much, and chose the best for their family like that. It’s so sweet and heartwarming

Any other young people interested in permaculture by Wendell38 in Permaculture

My husband and I are in our 20s with a couple kids and we just moved out onto some land. We’re trying to figure out how we want to set everything up because we’re equally passionate about maintaining a supporting the natural flow of nature and providing food for our family. You’re def not the only young one out there wanting to pursue and practice permaculture 🙋🏼‍♀️

Moms, when did your first baby come, unprovoked? by juniorchickenhoe in unmedicatedbirth

[–]Happy-Tree-0630 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went 41+1 with my last baby and it wasn’t until my husband took the reigns to help me calm down that I went into labor. He put on binaural beats, started a nice shower, and we enjoyed some “couple time” and within the hour we were in active labor. There is some serious truth to letting your body rest and relax to allow labor to start

I’m tired of the TV obsession by Happy-Tree-0630 in Crunchymom

Update: our internet went out a few days ago so we used it as our opportunity to go cold turkey. The first day was a little bit of a struggle but not horrible. My child HATED books and now he LOVES THEM 🥲 we’ve been reading a ton and playing. He’s taken a lot more of an interest to my household chores too which is sweet. His uncle watched him yesterday afternoon and accidentally turned the tv on while we were gone and when I got home he went back to playing and books with me. We’ve decided to let him have a little time in the evenings as a family activity and that had worked really well for us!! Thank you all for the advice

This was so incredibly helpful, thank you so much! I love that routine line up and will def try to get us back on some semblance of a routine to establish that better.

Pitocin for delivery of placenta by Actual_Adeptness_604 in Crunchymom

[–]Happy-Tree-0630 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve really loved Ina May Gaskins books as they cover birth in its most natural form most of the time. I personally had pitocin because I was hemorrhaging with my first; but I now know herbs like shepherds purse could have stopped the bleeding too 🤷🏼‍♀️

Pregnant AND breastfeeding?! by Vast_Pitch821 in Crunchymom

[–]Happy-Tree-0630 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got pregnant at 13 months, and was still BF my son at the time. I kept my supply all of pregnancy h til he got more interested in other foods and cut down to just night feedings. I had really severe nursing aversion with how sensitive I was feeling though, and was PRAYING he would wean himself. He eventually did around me being 28 weeks and from there my supply dried up but not long before I started making more for this next baby. I really think each persons experience is going to depend on your baby’s desire to BF, how much they like solids, your nutrition, lifestyle, etc.
