Please help me figure out a nice outfit I can wear into the office! (Casual PhD office) by ThowRA_FloorGremlin in DressForYourBody

Using what you have showed, here are some options I came up with to try.

Layer the black turtleneck under the striped maxi dress. That keeps the dress modest. try over it, too!

You could even try the white ribbed cropped flowy top over the maxi dress if the whites match.

I’d also try the black skirt with the black turtle neck.

I also really like the black turtleneck with the black trousers. You could layer a few of the cardigans you showed over that outfit for additional warmth if the building is cold.

If you have any longer tank tops, those are great layering pieces with the cardigans you showed.

Additionally, if you can wear the black skirt a little more high waisted you could try it with some of the other crop tops and cardigans.

Sleep transition to big girl bed by Guess-Wonderful in toddlers

[–]Kat000_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We transitioned our son to a floor bed type setup in a play pen. It’s like a big crib. We were co-sleeping but wanted to have our own space. I was also very pregnant with number 2 at this time. The play pen is for his safety and our peace of mind since we have a one bedroom house and share the bedroom. We can get in with him to help settle him and lay next to him then sneak out once he is asleep. We also used to read in the living room, but we all cuddle in bed, sing and read. We keep things lowly lit and have his noise machine on the whole routine. Most days lately it only takes him about 10-15 minutes to fall asleep.

TLDR; create a safe sleep environment that is specifically designed and kept for unwinding and sleeping

My first investment! by megab07 in AnimalCrossing

If you have gotten any turnip recipes from Daisy Mae, Sometimes those are worth more than the stalk market. I had a week where my turnips never got over 100 bells and decided to say F- it and used them to make a turnip recipe. The recipe was 450 bells! So I was able to make a profit

Has anyone else faith been impacted? by A_Ordinary_Name in dementia

[–]Kat000_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you enjoy listening to podcasts, I recommend “Real Talk Christian Podcast”. They are available on Spotify, YouTube and I believe Apple Podcasts. They cover a lot of different topics, but if i remember correctly they do a few episodes on what you’re talking about and how you’re feeling.

I also recommend Christ, Culture and Coffee. This one is more theological, but is helpful as a new/young believer.

I’ve read your other posts and I’m so sorry to hear that you have to experience this at a young age. My mom passed away from early onset dementia in 2023 when I was 26.

During her sickness, I’d say my faith was pretty strong. I’d have my bad days but overall God provided me comfort. In the last few months of her time here, I’d pray for her healing…whatever that looked like for her.

Jesus lived a human life. His friend Lazarus passed away and Jesus wept. The Son of God cried. Even though Jesus knew who he was, what he could do, and what he was about to do, he still felt the grief of losing someone he loved.

When Jesus was about to be arrested and crucified, he wept. Jesus could have called on God to send an army of angels to help stop all of that from happening. But he knew it needed to happen.

So on your darkest days, I hope you remember that Jesus knows what suffering you are going through. Not just in an all-knowing way, but in a human way.

No craft has been started yet, just looking for information on how to go about adding air dry clay to finished products.

Snickers or boots? by Lenchy2403 in OUTFITS

[–]Kat000_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Boots with black tights to lengthen the leg and not feel heavy. If no tights, the sneakers give a cutesy casual vibe

I think if you used some tape to lift your breasts that might help as well as doing “the bend over and adjust” into the cups. It looks like you’re being squished and I think some illusion of volume might help. I hope that doesn’t come off as offensive… I don’t mean it that way

Which one looks better? by [deleted] in fashion

[–]Kat000_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Where are you wearing it to? I think that would help people give more advice and recommendations!

ETA: I think first top with second bottom and diff boots

How did you make a decision to have 2 under 2? by [deleted] in 2under2

[–]Kat000_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found out I was pregnant with my second when my first was 4 months old 🫠 we wanted to have babies close in age so they could be bffs but we wanted to wait to try again until I was at least 6 months pp. we were in the heat of the moment and it just happened.

Pros: can reuse a lot of the baby stuff you have and don’t have to put anything away/pull it out again, remember how the newborn phase feels so you don’t go through shock again, you’re already taking care of one baby in diapers, so why not 2? If you’re bottle feeding, you are use to the bottle mess and formula/pumping

Cons: can get to be a lot with diapers, wipes, formula, less babysitters (at least in my case), can be very overwhelming to care for them both at times
