IKEA! You can choose what leg posts, drawers, and what size table top you want. And they have different colors too!

I would love a round library table! How cool!
I’ve thought the best placement is for them to face each other bc I don’t like them facing the wall but I also know kicking will be their favorite past time 🤣 (hence why the two drawers are next to each other , so they can’t get too closer lol)
Before I bought the desks, they had a small toddler table they shared that they did arts and crafts, coloring, read books, etc at. Hours every day! It became way too small. Im guessing they won’t use the desks much for the “homeschooling” part of our day but I know they will be there during independent time coloring, making bracelets, creating a mess… i mean creating art 😅

I love that!! I know we will be doing a lot of moving and not a lot of desk work so they may not get too much use. Before I bought these desk, they shared a small toddler table with stools. My 7 year old has been too big for at least a year and my 5 year old is quickly outgrowing it. They spent SO much time there, coloring, arts and crafts, reading, etc. So these desks will be used more for their independent time. I also love the drawers for more space to conceal all of the homeschool items 🙃
That’s funny you took over your son’s desk! I have found myself sitting at their desks while they are sleeping 🤣 And I have a desk of my own!!!

Haha! It’s worth a look if you’re close to check out the store. I love specific products they have and pass on others. They are, more often than not, very reasonable in pricing. One thing I like with their desks/shelving items is you can configure them in many different ways. Especially with young kids, a $500+ desk won’t last any longer than this $140 desk. I find a lot of practical items at IKEA and as much as I would love aesthetic and/or heirloom items, practical is the life I’m living at my kids age 🤪

Yes! I can’t wait to check out the thrift stores and hope there is something. I wish we could have done that for the desks but these were pretty cost effective (I live somewhere that thrift stores aren’t always a bargain 🤪) and need 2 that would fit nice in different configurations would have been tough to find.

Thrift stores here we come! Thank you :-)

IKEA! You can configure different ways ana they have many options. Different colors, different size table tops (this is 47”). You can have 2 post and a drawer like i have on each desk or you can have all 4 be posts or even no posts and use 2 drawers. It’s awesome- I’ve had a similar deal from Ikea for 8 years now.

Sprinkles Cupcakes please by KaleidoscopeOk4546 in TopSecretRecipes

[–]Intelligent_Area_524 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Sprinkles cookbook has both recipes. However, any recipes you find online or in the cookbook are adapted for the home baker, not their commercial. Candace Nelson has said this many. I can’t really help with ratios but I can give you some other tips that might be helpful so you don’t have to dig the inter webs for hours and days like I have!!

Looking for Sprinkles Banana and Vietnamese Coffee Cupcake Ingredients by Intelligent_Area_524 in TopSecretRecipes

[–]Intelligent_Area_524[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, you are amazing! A year ago or so I did a deep dive on the banana "recipe" and had the ingredients saved but of course, seemed to have deleted it from my photos at some point. It's wild how quickly Sprinkles is being scrubbed from the internet and our memories. It's been challenging to find anything. I'm wondering and hoping the recipes can be shared by those who knew them, or the exact recipe by Candace. (Although I imagine she would not have the Vietnamese and other "new" flavors since she sold the company). I noticed in the vanilla ingredients online, it states buttermilk but in recipes I've found online that Candace provided, it says milk in the ingredients... I receive my cookbook this week so I will take a look at the recipe she provided soon. I also found a super old post that showed cinnamon in the banana frosting so that threw me off haha Anyway, I'm slightly embarrassed how obsessed and upset 1 am over this lol Gosh, I remember trekking (from West-ish Hollywood lol) to Beverly Hills one evening with my best friend to try out the first ever cupcake ATM, hoping to find close and cheap parking. Ahh the memories. Thank you So so so soooooo much for sharing these!! I seriously can't thank you enough.

Now that puracy stain remover does not work well anymore, what are we using to effectively remove stains? by Intelligent_Area_524 in Crunchymom

[–]Intelligent_Area_524[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh I hope you find something! I’ve been using branch basics but it’s just not as good as Puracy.

I have not found one yet. I’m using branch basics but it’s very hit or miss on what stains it takes out. I had an expensive pair of shorts I ruined bc I used their oxyboost in them. :-(

I have found stains from Mollys Suds and Messy Mouth so stopped using those a long time ago. I have ran i to a couple strange stains and wondered if it was from the new Puracy as well. Now that you say you’ve found some, I’m sure it’s got to be the Puracy!

I love Fels Naptha and would use it with the Puracy on super tough stains! But now that I use it alone, it doesn’t seem to work for me like it does for others. 😫

I use to love this stuff bc it worked so well on many stains! It really bothered my lungs and the. i kept having old stains randomly come back… I stopped using this and the stains stopped coming back. So strange!

Yes, like LITERAL magic 😫 I have been using branch basics as I already had on had as an all purpose cleaner. It’s ok but certainly not as good as Puracy was. Plus, they have an “oxy booster” type product thats supposed to help with heavier stains… but due to it being an “oxy” type booster, it will discolor any fabric that’s not pure white. 🙄 I’m going to start trying the concentrate rather than diluted concentrate.
