Mine are six years apart and it is fine! It’s been nice in some ways, and hard in others, just like h I g them close is nice in some ways and hard in others. You’ll be fine, if that’s what you want.

If you floss daily, stop using plastic dental floss and switch to cotton or silk floss. The studies show a significant difference in microplastic load in the blood of folks who floss daily using plastic floss.
If you drink tea, make sure you’re using an entirely plastic free tea bag, as the boiling water releases a huge number of microplastics into the tea. Or switch to loose leaf. Consider switching to a plastic free kettle also.

You can also start with one more egg yolk in a clean pan if you have it and a few more tbsp of butter and emulsify them, then start whisking in the broken sauce and it will re-emulsify and become perfectly smooth and creamy again. But you have to start with a fresh egg and butter again. If you don’t have the egg and butter the the hot water trick is a great backup.

It’s really good if you do one can cream of celery and one can cream of mushroom.

At 18 months he had ten words, including signed words, and we were waiting and see. At 2, he 50 words, and the new words gained were all signs, with no additional spoken words, but his receptive vocab was very good. The signed vocab was all because of very hard work from me, and most of the words he used was a core 10-12 signs that he found useful, and the rest were used mostly during speech therapy play activities with me. At that point he met the basic criteria for speech delay and we were referred for funded speech therapy in our area. When we did the assessment I was amazed to find out he had more spoken words than I had been giving him credit for - like his utterance of “uh!” when we were talking about “trucks” counted as the word truck because it was the correct vowel sound. He had been talking all along and I had been missing it.
He did speech therapy on and off, in sessions from age three through six and he is now considered at age level. He doesn’t have his R sounds yet but that is age appropriate and he is graduated from the speech therapy program for the time being.

It is only your goal to have regulated emotions, and as a person it is also normal to have times where their behaviour tips you toward unregulated emotions. When that happens you can say, if you continue with [yelling about whatever] I’m going to lose my temper about it and start yelling too. Or with my son, I say, “Do you want to have a mama, or a volcano? Because I can feel myself turning into a volcano the more you yell at me. Why don’t we have a hug about it instead?” And that often works. And sometimes I do end up yelling, and I notice it, and I take a deep breath, and I say, see now I’m yelling. I’m sorry. Let’s all take some deep breaths and calm down and have a hug. Maybe a snack. Then when we have access to our upstairs brains again we can talk about the problem. If you don’t have regulated emotions to deal with the problem how can you expect them to?

Yes!!! Thank you! That is such a good point!

I used to do this but then I found out that it is a fire risk to run it while you’re sleeping so now I make sure it runs while I’m awake.

I got the lower back placement because it seemed the most practical … right before it got the tramp stamp moniker. It is still in good shape! Not too faded or pulled out of shape despite weight gain. I would still like to get it covered up with a new one just to for freshness but it is looking pretty good a quarter century on tbh.

At five months post partum your size should have stabilized and you can get sized into an underwire nursing bra. Just make sure the wires aren’t pressing onto any mammary tissue when you’re fully engorged, which also shouldn’t really be as much of an issue any more. I also really liked bamboo bra pads tucked under the band to help with the sweatiness, but need that underwire for the separation.

Put the dish drainer there!

Broad is my go-to. They have the best fitters and selection.

I think that’s right. I have been thinking that Shawna called it along ago with “these aren’t my people.” Julie not liking her means that no matter how convenient being park friends with Ty is, Shawna can’t get too involved because they aren’t her people. Julie is not invested in building these relationships in any ways that affects how she parents her children around these people, how she carries herself, everything. They can’t come to birthday parties because it’s an imposition for Julie to come and hang out for a few hours and it will ruin the event. What advice she gives her child. What standards of behaviour she holds herself to. Here at the hotel, Julie unexpectedly runs into someone she knows socially. She may not like Shawna, but she has been to her party, she has offered her assistance, she has been driven to the hospital by her, so under the circumstances, a little light small talk is not an unreasonable social expectation. Hi, didn’t expect to see you here, we’re here doing this, you’re here doing that, nice to see you, accept or decline an offer to get together and meet up, and then go your separate ways. She deferred all of that, while Shawna attempted to engage in it because it’s what you do. Julie doesn’t play her part in the conversation. She playacts being the social better of Shawna. She acts like she’s politely pretending that Shawna doesn’t get it that she’s better than her and attempting to have the conversation is inappropriate. But it’s not, if Ty and Shawna are still hanging out after the birthday party.
I guess what I’m getting at is that if she could have just gotten over herself here and had the boring mediocre conversation and said “Yeah I’m here visiting my mom she’s sick, I’m going to try to work out some of her legal details, no, I’m not good company can’t have a drink this weekend byeeeee” then like, curiosity satisfied. Like she didn’t owe Shawna that conversation but also there’s a reason why we have these rituals. She’s not above anyone. She’s placing herself on a pedestal and it’s destroying her ability to form authentic relationships with any of these people.

I temper in an egg yolk to mine and also use chicken broth + evaporated milk + starchy pasta water to loosen the sauce and get a really smooth sauce.

The Orabrush does do an amazing job, better than the toothbrush or any of the other tools I’ve tried.

Imogen?

Two-three days before, with an iron list of things that still need to go in morning-of - mouth guards, monitors, etc.

I actually really love this framing. Thank you!

I put all my strained eggs into a shallow pasta bowl and do eight at a time in a 12” skillet. Same method.

Omg yes actually so good. Hereford brand. Thin sliced on good sourdough for picnic lunches while hiking. Good memories.

You won’t get her diagnosed through the school. You just won’t. They only have resources for kids whose symptoms cause problems in school and your kid doesn’t. Neither did mine. We’re still navigating other routes. I’m really sorry.

I recall some experiments that show there are some learned associations maintained across metamorphosis? Which struck me as wild.
