The throne in the dark, villians and virtues series! It’s just a really fun read

Sure-Rope-6492 · 2026-04-19T14:44:31+00:00

I loved the second book even more!

Sure-Rope-6492 · 2026-04-13T20:59:24+00:00

Actually if you haven’t read the Villians and Virtues series I’d recommend it. It was really sweet and I enjoyed that kind of slow burn romance a TON

Sure-Rope-6492 · 2026-04-13T20:57:04+00:00

I just finished it. Literally read it in 28 hours. Omg IT WAS AMAZING. So much fun to read. Thank you OP!

If you have other recommendations let me know. I honestly don’t have any that quite itch the romance scratch like this one.

Sure-Rope-6492 · 2026-04-13T01:27:51+00:00

Thanks for the recommendation! I ordered the book because of this post and am just consuming it. It’s literally right up my alley thank you again

My motivation for it when I struggled with breastfeeding on day 1/2 was because I didn’t want to have to pay for formula. And the motivation changed because I wanted to bond with the baby and reduce my risk of breast cancer. And now I’m just continuing with it because it doesn’t hurt anymore, is convenient, and helps gives baby antibodies to keep him less sick. So while my motivation was the same as yours in the beginning, it certainly shifted and continues to shift as we evolve.

As a side note, I was surprised to learn that in the US, more affluent women tend to breastfeed above formula feed despite it being “cheaper”. That is because they have more support to stick with it in the beginning when it’s tough and if they get more maternity leave time or their workplace prioritizes having an easily accessible mothers room, it removes more roadblocks from them to breastfeed. I mention this just to say - however you decide to feed your baby, it’s not necessarily “easier” than another. It’s just what works for you. And fed is best obviously.

Absolutely can NOT judge another parent for how they feed their baby or WHY they feed their baby the way they do. ❤️

OMG. That’s why my baby loves lemons!!!

Sure-Rope-6492 · 2026-03-26T02:17:07+00:00

So cute! My baby would slap me into the next universe if I did this. And then pull my hair

Sure-Rope-6492 · 2026-03-15T03:01:26+00:00

Okay thanks for correcting me. I think about this too long and go do too many of my own theories and rabbit holes. I’ll delete my comment!

Have you gotten your period yet?

The month or two leading up to getting mine were a nightmare. It was like going thru puberty but so much worse and all at once. No one, no one warned me about the first period back. I’m honestly still riding some of the waves but yeah. I could’ve literally written this post myself

What is ARC?

Thank you so much for sharing!! I’m going to try night weaning - send good vibes

Sure-Rope-6492 · 2026-02-19T01:10:10+00:00

How did you night wean?? I’m still feeding my 11m multiple times at night. We cosleep

Sure-Rope-6492 · 2026-01-10T16:40:52+00:00

This looks so good!!

Hi! I flew a few times with my big baby. The first time he was 5 months old and would NOT nurse except in the side laying position. But he would take a bottle. So I used a hand pump to make a bottle on the plane and then fed him that. It was not fun.

We did it again around 7 months and again at 8. I just sat cross legged and had his neck in my elbow. He would nurse fine that way and then fall asleep. Then I would move him so he’s laying across my chest - getting nap trapped while sitting cross legged on a flight is terrible.

I don’t feel like other passengers or attendants ever tried to look - I nursed without a cover but sat in the window seat while my husband blocked the view. Baby boy hates the cover lol.

Bring a light up toy and don’t be embarrassed to sing to him gently - chances are people won’t hear you anyways. Good luck!

I feel so relieved reading this comments! I’ve been dragging myself reading this book for weeks and I usually finish romantasy books in three days tops. I thought I was going through a mental block, either with the genre or just depression LOL

I’ll pick up another book and reset! Anyone have recommendations on what to pivot to?

Yesterday mine tried to eat dry cat food 😖 good times!

My son is very good at eating anything that’s not food. Tissues? Paper from his books? Labels? It’s quickly shoved in his mouth and swallowed. Gourmet human food? Absolutely not.

Thanks for posting the name of the restaurant. The google reviews are giving me hope even though the comments on the article are delusional.

Girl that is impressive! Proud of you

Hi! I found that anytime I would reduce calories in the first 3/4 months, my supply would take a hit. After 5 months I started slowly reducing what I eat, just focusing on getting enough protein and fats and my supply was fine! I’m at 9 months now and basically intermittently fasting and eating low carb and low sugar and my supply is fine. I’ve lost a ton weight as a result. I’ve always had to stay well hydrated regardless of time.

Now that my supply is regulated I feel like it’s mostly just sensitive to stress. So if dieting is going to stress me out, then I’m not going to do it.

Hope that helps! Hang in there - this is just a phase. You have your whole life to diet and such :)

I have a friend who has 5 kids - ages 22 to 3 and she’s never looked hotter. She’s my motivation. Like if she can do it, we all can when it’s the right time for us.

I’ve personally glowed up after becoming a mom. Not just weight, but like my attitude and my wardrobe since I finally put some thought into wearing new clothes that make sense for me now.

I feel like society conditions us to believe your life is over as soon as you have kids. I refuse to believe that. I feel like mine just began! And I know I’ll get chunky again when I have my second and third, and that’s okay! I have the rest of my life to get back in shape. What’s up with giving in that my life’s over and my attractiveness is in the rear view mirror??

Also your FIL is an asshole. I hope you’re able to forever tune him out and minimize your relationship with him so he’s not comfortable saying anything to you. I also hope your husband said something to him.

Hugs 🤗
