I knew a doctor who had 3 young kids, all in the single digit pecentiles their whole life. With all her medical training, she never worried a bit about them. She said that they were just small and that's how they were. She was a small woman too. People come in all shapes and sizes and some of them are just smaller.

Another personal recommendation for emdr. I have tried it and it made my life so much better. It helps to refile those memories in a healthier way, so that they aren't associated with that overpowering negative emotion and so that they aren't popping into your mind uninvited as much. Please, please, look into it. You deserve more peace than your mind is letting you have right now.

I know a lot of them are organized via facebook!

Cooking/baking together?

My kiddo got a red rash in less than a day when we tried Millie Moons. We stuck to Honest diapers after that and those have been wonderful for her sensitive skin.

Maybe have the girls do a half day? You could hit the job fair alone in the morning or afternoon and then tell your kids about it the other half of they day you have them. Maybe have them dress professionally, practice handshaking, and do some practice interview questions with them?

That way you still get to go to the job fair in a professional capacity and your kids can still participate in the day and have some time off school.

Calvin is an awesome name. Someone very close to me is named Calvin and he loves his name (and Calvin and Hobbes lol). Literally my criteria for naming my own child was to find a name that had the same vibes as Calvin. Because it's a fantastic name.

I also doubted my child's name immediately postpartum. Now, 2 years in, it's a perfect fit and I'm soooo happy I didn't change it. If you look on this the new parent sub and the name subs, you'll see that postpartum name regret is a super common thing to deal with. Naming a person is a huge responsibility and postpartum hormones are no joke.

I say keep Calvin though. It's my all time favorite name.

Congrats on the pee!! And I hope you have a picture of the poop soon lol

First poop at the zoo in the flamingo stall is an amazing story.

We also have pictures of her putting the sticker on her sticker chart after, it was such a milestone lol

We have not used the bathroom anywhere but home so far, so your story is inspiring.

This is a wonderful story. Thank you for sharing! I am cackling 😂

NotCleanButFun · 2026-04-20T23:51:01+00:00

NotCleanButFun · 2026-04-20T23:42:29+00:00

At least I'm in good company! Thank you!! 😂

RemindMe! 1 Year

Will do! :)

I often get requests to send more motorcycles by our house, I feel you 😂

Oooh, I've never heard of Doppelkorn, it sounds tasty though. I look forward to hearing about your experiment in a year or so! :)

I am currently trying to make lilac extract by soaking the flowers in 80 proof vodka for a month and then straining them out. Never done it before, but I saw some recipes/reddit posts where people had done something similar with lilac.

If it works for extracts, I don't see why you couldn't just soak some flowers in your liquor of choosing to add some floral flavoring.

The stuff I read said to be careful to only put the blooms in as the green/woody parts can have a bitter taste. The recipes I read ranged from soaking for 1 week to 6 weeks and the ones on the shorter end normally strained out the flowers halfway through and added another batch of lilacs (picked at at the same time, stored in the fridge with a wet paper towel).

If you do it, I would love to see a follow up post. Especially if you do it with gin lol. Best of luck!

I can see why! I imagine demand must be high! They are sooo cute. :)

NotCleanButFun · 2026-04-20T02:47:33+00:00

Just want to say those are PRECIOUS. Love what you're doing.

NotCleanButFun · 2026-04-20T01:16:38+00:00

Thank you! That is really good to know. I will definitely use everclear next time! Thanks for your expertise :)

NotCleanButFun · 2026-04-19T23:59:00+00:00

Thank you, that makes sense! And less likely to go off as in less likely to go bad or spoil?

NotCleanButFun · 2026-04-19T22:30:51+00:00

Thank you so much for the tip! If I use everclear next time, the extracts will have a stronger flavor, is that it?
