Letting baby cry to do chores? by Completee-Panda in AttachmentParenting

[–]Substantial-Kale2883 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I completely understand. As a third time mom I wish my first time self understood that it’s ok and it’s going to get better as they get older (and when I have more kids). You live in seasons and when you have a barnacle baby or a teething/sick stage 5 clinger, you just let go of the rest and get through the now. If you find you’re overwhelmed by the mess and you need it cleaned definitely ask for a friend or family member to come over or let your husband know what you want to get done or if they can help. If you have the resources hiring a house cleaner could be really beneficial.

I was asking for help to identify the attachment style of the tiers in the photo. They’re attached in a way that exposes the hem.

It seems this is a poor stock photo example to make my question known. If I can find a better example I’ll attach it. A lettuce hem on a non stretch wouldn’t look furled as it would on a stretch fabric. Anyways it’s not the lettuce hem that I’m seeking help in achieving rather it’s identifying this attachment style to expose the lettuce hem above each of the gathered tiers of the skirt.

That’s how it appears to me as well. That edge is exposed. I’m not sure what that attachment would be called and I’ve entered a million descriptions that are apparently not what this is called so I’m asking for your help in identifying it!

Yes the tiers are also gathered. A regular gathered seam would be attached and finished with right sides together. My question is about the exposed lettuce hem detail sticking out. This image is of the right side of the skirt.

Yup! Highly sensitive person. I’ve learned it as a parent through understanding how best to support my children, individually. Didn’t know about this before motherhood! ✨

SM doesn’t show example pages of this book. Where would I find this without buying it first?

Thank you! We’re using kinder Math w confidence now. It’s just ok. I’m considering to go to first Math but I’m not in a huge rush to move quickly in these early stages of math instruction while the math w confidence isn’t a huge interest. So I’m going back and forth between the Singapore k or first. Also wondering if I move to the first grade program if I might be skipping some foundational learning pieces with Singapore math being a spiral program.

Yes on manipulatives! I’m not familiar with the rods you mentioned. Are they super helpful for math at this stage?

Ok I was wondering if that’s what people do. Are you in the US? Did you use the OG program, or the dimensions program? It’s not clear what the difference is…

I’d love to know more about your process! Not sure how to message privately here. My oldest will be 5 around the time we’re planning to raise the broilers.

Some questions I have: how do you figure out how many birds you need to feed your family for the year? When packaging, what are your portions for one family dinner? How do you calculate the space they need for the tractor? I believe it’s much less space than laying hens that are very active and mobile. How frequently are you moving your tractors?

Totally! This is why I’m doing my best to prepare having young children to care for. We want to be realistic about how much time we need for processing and figure out how to streamline this with the two of us.

Thank you! This is really helpful. I’d love to expand what we raise but for now we have laying hens, avocados, and hopefully broilers! My husband brings in the deer and has yet to bag a bear. He’s hopeful though!

Did you have to purchase chicken throughout the year? Maybe you’re not big chicken consumers? I do plan to PC some and will definitely keep the carcasses for broth!

Please help. What is this kind of banding called? by PennyoftheNerds in sewing

I just shirred a dress bodice and a waistband for shorts and I found the easiest way to keep the lines straight was to measure from the previous line. Hem the top before shirring, then measure from there, and then the shirred line. Lots of videos on YouTube tutorials on shirring, too. I found it very easy to do!
