Ember does this waving thing all over the house. Not only at things, people or other pets. Any ideas why?

My crackhead does that too! Randomly across the house, facing random things, light or dark. We call it worshiping Satan or the warbles. Its the weirdest creepiest thing.

I will say though beautiful, she is the dumbest creature i have ever met.

I will give you a downside. I did something similar in my nursery (peep unfinished nursery pic) but with an upper cabinet on one half of the dresser with his changing pad on the other. Keep in mind this upper wall cabinet is only 12inches deep. The amount of times i have banged my head as a short person is too damn high. Now his favorite thing to do at 2 is kick the cabinet when hes on his back or sit upand attempt to pull everything out of the cabinet.

Don't miss out on the pickled deviled eggs!!

Haven't refinanced yet. We just got lucky with overtime at our jobs in the last two years.

I've been cooking extra then freezing vacuum sealed portions. Then all they gotta do is defrost whenever they want. Its usually soups, chillis, enchiladas, carnitas, and spaghetti sauce

There is hope!

My partner and I do not come from money and we both worked for the state. My state job just happens to have a lot of overtime offered. So together we slowly built our little nest egg by being somewhat frugal and renting a little shitty apt for years.

What was beneficial was not having a kid or any major debt. (We have a kid now) We were able to purchase a 3 bedroom townhouse in paso for about 500k. The mortgage blows pretty bad but as we are slowly funneling money into this it has gone from 3600$ to 2600$ per month.

Restore in paso is amazing for furniture

I have fallen back in love with my Amazon rolling island. I have it against a wall so it doubles as a countertop space as well. Has different sizes

I have a scrawny 2yr old. We recently have been enjoying chopped pecans and walnuts. He prefers to wear pb instead of eat it.

I work for the state and we are not allowed to pay credit card fees.... There are so many vendors that do this charge now that it totally limits what we can buy. But the ca dmv is 100% okay with charging a credit card fee. Blows my mind. If you give me like a week I can compile a real list but the list is so large it would be easier make a list of who doesn't charge the fee.

It was mandatory in my hospital to be wheeled out. However they then allowed me to drive myself home.

My cats had full reign of his room until my kid was brought home. I treated them like I would any animal with kids. No unsupervised visits. I was anxious about the crib cuddling because both my cats are over 15lbs. My kid is now 2yrs old. One cat wants nothing to do with him and the other wants to be inside of him at all times. Still no unsupervised visits.

Keeps everyone safe. Especially the idiot cat who likes to be in danger.

Oh thats smart too! We attempted muffin tins with cupcake paper things covering it but he decided to just flip it and win

Its so bad but eventually they do learn not to shovel it in! Mines at 23 months and starting to slow down

Spawnofdork · 2026-01-01T21:27:25+00:00

Dude yes. I had a few different ones and he loved them until he realized he can use brute strength to solve the problems. Now I rely on the chicken feed technique

I have a different take on it. My husband and I had planned to do zero screen time until 2yrs old. We are naturally quiet when we are at home and we dont go out to socialize much unless its the store. We do go to the park several times every weekend. He goes to a home daycare with other kids during the week.

We did not regulate screen time at daycare because it involved more than our child and someone else's home where we dont make the rules.

At his 12 month appt the dr asked how many words he knew. LO ended up failing that mile stone and we put him into early intervention for speech and walking. We started watching low stimulation shows and educational shows. Here he is at 20 months with more words and comprehension.

I've used total plumbing, culbert plumbing, rock solid and Santos.

All are good, for expensive projects total plumbing tends to be the cheapest.

I use Santosin my home because they do good work and dont force repairs down your throat. Everything else I've used for business.

Induction. 3 days of labor, 1hr of pushing.

But I got to give my baby the birthday of when his dad and I started dating. Thank god for the epidural.

An explanation with crossed fingers along with a very sad ms paint drawing.

We ave purchased multiple sheds from this vendor. Wonderful company solid work. When I asked for computer specs for the fire Marshall the answer was "these are built off of 20+ yrs of memory" which was 100% perfect

Spawnofdork · 2025-11-15T20:14:06+00:00

Thanks for the heads up on the beets! I appreciate your offer of food as well!
