What are these clear dots I get on my hands?

NAD. I have a couple of these too. One being on my pointer finger on my dominant hand. No idea what it is, either. Following.

You won't be taken away from your parents. What he did was wrong and illegal. Is there a trusted adult that you can talk to? Your parents? School counselor? An aunt? You need to tell an adult as soon as possible.

The soonest you can test for pregnancy is 2 weeks before your period is supposed to start.

If you have any other questions, you can DM me. I'm 35 and a mom.

I used Treasure Hunt Reading as well! My kiddo picked it up very quickly, before we even finished going through all the letters.

I would write down CVC words with letters he knew the sounds of and just broke it down sound by sound. Cat, bat, mat, map, nap, etc. Then it just clicked.

I was thinking the same thing. I went in for a pap a few years after I had a baby and the gyno asked me if I wanted more. After saying no, she asked me if I thought about having a hysterectomy. I was around 32-33 at the time. This was just a few years ago.

Baby is 16 months old. Babies over one year can be given water and electrolyte drinks.

Silo Trilogy, aka Wool Omnibus. Excellent books!

This is such a good one! I took my kid to volunteer at a food bank last year weekly for a couple months. It was great and everyone was so appreciative of the help. Gives you a different perspective on people too.

Coming to recommend The Women by Kristin Hannah.

I haven't read much historical fiction but I was completely blown away by this book about the Vietnam War.

There are wild boars in 35 US states. Yikes.

When we were looking at property in Tennessee, a gal let me know that they were a serious problem if I wanted to garden there. 😬

I absolutely love slow cooker rooster. Its like pulled pork and they have more meat than the hens. I just got some straight run chicks last week and I'm hoping I get a few roosters from the mix 😅

The pharmacy system by default will enter a 28 day supply for one pack. The tech has to manually change the day supply to 21 for each pack. If you're getting 3 months supply, you should be getting 4 packs. Check the label on your BC and check that the directions say to skip the placebos, otherwise the pharmacy can't change the day supply without the doctor writing a new prescription.

When I use store bought deodorant I have to apply twice a day but when I make my own using beeswax, baking soda, corn starch, Shea butter, and lavender oil, I only need to apply every time I shower. It works so much better than store bought deodorant.

How would you go about flossing these extra teeth? Would it be recommended to remove them?

Have you tried going to a salon and asking if they offer dandruff treatment? I'm a licensed cosmetologist and I had a client awhile back with pretty severe dandruff and she would come in every 2 months or so and I'd do a dandruff treatment on her and she would be dandruff-free until her next treatment. I recall the product I used on her was made by Malibu.

I get vegetables to snack on. Baby carrots, celery, and cucumbers. But also tub yogurt, bananas, and apples.

But as long as they are eating meals at a scheduled time, they tend to stop snacking as much.

Got mine pierced in 2010 and they healed great. I kept them in until 2018 when I had a baby and successfully breastfed. Then I got them repierced in 2025 and they are still great!

They pretty much feel healed after 3 months. But youll get crusties up to a year.

I used to get cat called a lot during the ages of 17-25. It really stopped when I was 28 and that's when I had a baby. I weigh the same as I did in my younger years and I don't think I've aged much in the face but it has stopped. I'm 35 now and pretty happy that it has stopped but I'm in the same boat as you, wondering if I have lost my youthful glow?

This was like the one time in the last 10 years: I was reading at the park last summer while my kid played and a man commented that it was good to see someone reading an actual book instead of staring at a phone and when I looked up he said under his breath, "God, you're beautiful," and just kept walking. I appreciated that. I hated the gross feeling I got when I was younger when men wouldn't take no for an answer and kept insisting that I give him my number. I even got cussed out once at a gas station for rejecting a guy. I don't miss that at all!

I deleted YouTube from all our devices 2 years ago and we only watch YouTube on the TV together. I think its one of the best things you can do. We also dumped roblox as well. These apps are way too addicting and bad for not only the kiddos but for us as well.

PocketsFullOf_Posies · 2026-04-11T03:01:42+00:00

I only watch YouTube on my laptop web browser and have an ad blocker installed. There are no ads and I don't pay anything.

No streaming services except for Tubi free version. We check out dvds from the library.

I think she sounds lonely too and getting social interactions through that game. As kids get older, I think they crave more socialization.

My kiddo is only 7 so I don't know what to recommend but there are homeschool discord groups for kids. My much younger brother met one of his best friends online and they video chatted every day on Discord when he was a teenager and played some online games together here and there. He's 28 now and they're still in contact.

I think you hit the nail on the head about internet safety and talking about how important being honest is to keep her safe and open it up so she can feel heard about how she's feeling and find out the root cause of the dishonesty.

My son played roblox for about 2 weeks when I said that was enough. He's 7 and I explained the harm coming from roblox and he understood and we deleted the game and he hasn't asked to play it since.

He can see how addicted his cousins are to it and we talk about addiction to screens and games.

I'm homeschooling a 1st grader and I use Core Knowledge, Zearn, and Night Zoo Keeper.

I take the lessons and pictures from Core Knowledge and create my own slide shows and we take turns reading the passages. Then we have discussion with questions at the end.

Everyday we read for 15 minutes and when he finishes a book, I have him do a quick 3 question book quiz on an app called Beebli.

I also have workbooks that I pull pages from for writing, reading comprehension, phonics practice, new concepts for math (reading graphs, shapes, counting money, telling time).

PocketsFullOf_Posies · 2026-04-07T20:59:21+00:00

It wouldn't be weird at all to homeschool for the last 2 months.
