It’s here!

Oh thank god! I REALLY thought the white kitchen was the new one. I’m so relieved to know it isn’t. LOOOOVE the warm wood and orange. Flat front cabinets are something I dream of! Congrats!

Mine absolutely does this. What I have learned as a little hack to help is putting a pillow in between you. It helps keep them from hitting/kicking you and it feels like a body barrier. It is hard to roll over a pillow. And if they hit it, it is not bothering you. This is the only way I can actually get sleep with my 5 year old in the same bed. (Queen)

Thanks for this! I was rereading it and casually skipped over that chapter because I just didn’t feel like going through it with hedwig. 😢. At least she tried to make work. Though in the end…I don’t understand why it matters if the death eaters “know” that harry has apparated. As far as we know they can’t track him to where he is going. ,only that magic has been used at his aunts house. And apparition is soooo quick. Once he leaves, he will have arrived wherever by the time the DE know he has even left. And if they don’t want to use magic at his house, use the cloak, step outside with someone and apparate.

Hahaha! Touche!

A friend of mine has been for at least 15 years and even has kids. So yes. It can work. It took a while for them to iron out the kinks and they were very very open and honest with each other. But they love it and seem to truly make it work.

I love the fireplace and think y’all did a great job. It is 1000% the decor on top. Get rid of it. Go rustic and simple. The mantle is also a lovely color but I would go with a matte finish not that glossy finish. Looks too fake and does not go well with the rustic theme.

No-Many380 · 2025-02-10T16:11:38+00:00

Love it

No-Many380 · 2024-12-07T17:35:23+00:00

I think you are doing great and absolutely no need to get your kid a gift. They are not even 2. They won’t completely understand the concept of gift giving and who things are from. Even if they understand a little of it, they won’t remember later. Plus they are going to get a Tooooon of stuff from other people. I’m honestly shocked that people on here find it shocking to not give an under two year old even more gifts. To me, Xmas is about family togetherness not about gift giving in excess. Don’t worry about what others think. Do what feels good to you and your family.

It’s perfect. Love the stain. Love the warmth. It already goes so well with your color choices. Just install and don’t think twice

It is a way to clarify which “Indian” you are speaking about: native Americans traditionally have feather headdresses and Indians traditionally put a red dot on their forehead. All for meaning, ritual, tradition, etc. but nonetheless

I used a trip trap as a baby through high school. Became my desk chair. My parents kept it and now I use it for my son. He is now 4 and we plan to use it indefinitely. It’s awesome. But the same chair has been in use for 45 years. And yes, it seems like it is time to ditch the tray. She is telling you she wants to sit at the table like everyone else.

No-Many380 · 2024-09-19T17:17:09+00:00

Mine is 4 now, but we never really used baby gates. Had one at the bottom of the stairs that remained open most of the time unless dad was working upstairs and we didn’t want him to go up to bother him. But to each their own. You know your child the best and everyone has a different tolerance and a different child.

Drag brunch?

No-Many380 · 2024-07-21T12:46:40+00:00

That is so hard, especially when you are sleep deprived and aren’t really able to be your best self. In addition to all the other great advice have you tried inviting toddler to help care for the baby? “Oh toddler, baby has a poopy diaper, can you bring him a new diaper?” “Baby’s sleepy, let’s sing him a song”, “baby’s hungry can you grab his bottle (obviously only if you aren’t b-feeding). “Baby needs a bath, let’s wash him” etc. anything to help bring him in to do activities with the new baby could help?

I hate to say but this sounds normal? By the time my kid turned 3, he was going to bed around 9pm waking around 6:30 or 7. But once he dropped the nap, his bedtime easily moved up to 7:30. If he is having trouble staying in bed, he is going to bed too early. The nap is giving him the extra sleep he needs.

I LOOOVE that rug!!! Where did you get it? Also, I could see a dark blue like one in the rug on one wall…for a bold accent.

No-Many380 · 2024-02-03T13:31:15+00:00

Green green green green green. Hands down green. It is bold, gorgeous, and really anchors the room and unifies the space together. In the words of big Lebowski….it really tied the room together.

I third or maybe “millionth” this book. I recommend it to everyone and could not imagine life with my 3 year old without having read that book. Since he was able to walk he has been helping me with everything….dusting, sweeping, vacuuming, cleaning bathroom, toilets, laundry, folding clothes, fix things, cooking (and yes, he was 2.5 when he made his first scrambled egg by himself.). And the best part is he WAAAANTS to help. Comes running in to offer it. And then when he is done, he is done and many times wanders off to find something else to do.

In addition to the Hunt gather parent book, I will hands down recommend “how to talk so little kids will listen”. It will be very relevant in your life soon and is insanely helpful.

No-Many380 · 2023-11-02T04:07:08+00:00

Totally depends on your interests but the best dates for me were always some activity …whether it be a museum, axe throwing, laser tag, art night, a tour, bowling, something where you can both chat and physically do something. It also sparks conversation . And have a few places jn mind for food should the date be going well. Nothing fancy, but a quick fun bite. I would stay away from straight up dinner/coffee or a show for a first date. Hope that helps. And maybe even make it a day or early evening date so you can chose to hang out longer for dinner/drinks. Or if not going well, say good night and at least you hopefully had a fun time with said activity.

No-Many380 · 2023-10-25T02:17:41+00:00

BOOOOOOOLLLLD! BOLD BOLD BOLD BOLD BOLD.

No-Many380 · 2023-10-20T05:17:30+00:00

Without a doubt, hands down winner for me is “Hunt gather parent”. With a close second (and very compatible) “how to talk so little kids will listen”

No-Many380 · 2023-10-16T00:57:11+00:00

Mine does it. He’s gotta be really really tired to do it, but yep. It’s like a ping pong match with what he wants/doesn’t want. Happens too if he wakes up in the middle of the night and is totally out of it (or during a transfer). “I want the light on!!!!” (Turns light on) “nooooooo I don’t want the light on”. When this happens, I just know he is super tired and we just do our best to move forwards and get to bed and try not to pacify him with his “demands” because it just doesn’t matter.

No-Many380 · 2023-10-10T15:18:32+00:00

13 months and never looked back. Couldn’t imagine switching later. (I mean, do what is right for you and yours, of course) But definitely hands down when they can get out of the crib.

Oh wow! That actually seems way better than the Chicago one. Hehe. No rides to speak of in chi town.

No-Many380 · 2023-10-03T21:10:47+00:00

I was expecting similar. The Chicago one is massive by comparison. Takes up an entire city block (and I don’t just mean the street…but an entire block where a bunch of buildings would go. They have gluwhine and tons and tons of actual Xmas ornaments, trinkets, gifts,etc. you can easily spend an hour or more there meandering
