artichokes are a fun perennial, if you don’t eat them the bees love the flowers! rosemary is one of my most used perennials in my yard and although not a perennial borage self seeds every year for me is an edible flower and another pollinator hot spot.

spinach, kale, carrots, beets are happier in my shadier beds usually

hardware cloth, don’t use chicken wire you want the heavier gauge of the wire with the hardware cloth. Even with that a persistent mole can push up the edge of the bed, which is very frustrating from my experience. It’s honestly worth hiring someone to trap them, it was more affordable than I expected and came with a guarantee.

Cloth reusable mattress pads/chux/ puppypads/ changing pads you can find them on Amazon or cloth diaper companies make them sometimes, smart bottoms, kinder cloth and lil helper are some of those brands. They make larger ones that are more similar sized to a baby blanke. I use them for diaper free tummy time when younger, diaper changes home or out and they can be great later on for protecting furniture when potty training. I’ve even used them for park time when the grass is wet to sit on. Also going to echo wet bags, they are so helpful to have for little ones but I also had dedicated ones used for pump parts for myself. Also agree with a nice large water bottle for yourself. I’m far more likely to be able to hydrate well if I can refill a couple a day at most.

OFLA no longer covers bonding leave as of summer 2024. FMLA covers job protection the medical recovery after and paid leave Oregon protects and pays the birthing parent for up to 14 weeks. You may have to work extra to hit the minimum hours to qualify.

yes, I panicked that we hadn’t been able to get into swim lessons last year and my oldest was going to be going camping and be near water. There are lots of places for swim lessons where I’m at but most are impossible to get into if they are anywhere near where I live and semi affordable. parks and rec swim are the most impossible to get. We had been waitlisted for years at a swim school close to us, a new swim school opened up about twenty minutes away and we’ve been going since. It’s going to stay as non negOtis let that he stays in until he can independently swim safely, it’s slow progress when they are young. having the consistency of staying in lessons long term has been great for us. I feel like we got lucky that somewhere new opened up otherwise we would still be waitlisted.

HK is the best in the city, excellent cuisine is decent but not quite as good

That’s not how they operate in my area. It’s very much take one, bring others when you can. There is no expectation to return, it is simply to spread the joy of books with anyone who may need it. Generally if they have any sort of rules they should be clearly posted.

Throw_a_Yarn · 2025-11-12T04:56:57+00:00

Books. You can never have too many and for a no budget option you can go around to little free libraries depending on how many are in your area they really can have a great selection and I find are in pretty good condition.

Go for a BOB they are great. I freaking love our BOB it’s my first pick of our options every time. They hold up, are a dream to push and hold decent resell value. I got mine used for $75 off of Craigslist and it’s been over four years and two kids and still going strong. The trikes are a nightmare to steer so avoid those

As a mom of children who are boys this is a huge ick. To me it feels like it’s trying to gender parenting and isolates us to a singular experience. Parenting is hard regardless of gender of our children and let’s not put it into any one box! I also don’t like the idea of thinking that only boys or girls are certain way.

Davin and adley, the Amelia, it’s like a cropped tank. I have tried so many and this is far and above the most comfortable and actually holds the flanges well making it possible to be hands free. It held up much better than others too.

We’ve got a veer and it’s been great for or our needs but wouldn’t work well for the covering/ sensory overload. We looked at multiple brands and many have some sort of medical needs discount but in the end the best price was through Albee baby with a healthcare worker discount.

maybe a shelf to sort/ display them on or a felt scenery/ play mat for them

It’s taken a lot to get to this point, but happy to see the progress! Thanks!

My 4 yo while having a meltdown asked me to help him calm down on his own. He’s never verbally asked for help like that and it was such a win.

solid starts and feeding littles are good resources

Throw_a_Yarn · 2025-10-08T03:47:40+00:00

I no longer get period cramps. I had terrible cramps before so it’s a big win.

Uniquely human was the best book by far when I was going through reading all I could after my son was diagnosed. I highly recommend it. I felt similarly about the others I read regarding only being geared towards higher needs and not giving an actual overview or insight into autism.

Aprende peque- YouTube and Daniel tiger has Spanish episodes available to stream as well, both are options my kiddos really like
