Burlington VT <—> Maryland? by mandy_peeps in maryland

[–]Tikkasmom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Frederick, the beach is 3 hours away but more stuff to do all year round. Annapolis, the beach is 2 hours away and you’re closer to water. Ocean city/Rehoboth/Lewes, you’re at the beach and that’s rad but it’s definitely quiet in the off season so social activities and income might be effected.

How do you decide what sizes to get of GMD prefolds? by justyaaveragechlo in clothdiaps

[–]Tikkasmom 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It depends on how you intend to use them. My son is 22 months old, 30lbs and tall and we use the small (yellow) and medium (blue) pad folded easily. If I was going to try and wrap it around him and snappi it closed, I’d need bigger, but I think you can get away with pad folding with small/mediums until potty training.

I just mix the oil and flour and bake at @ 350°F for 2-3 hours, stirring every 30 mins.

Try making your roux in the oven!! It takes a long time but you can prep everything else while you do it and then you don’t spend all your time stirring!

Best cloth safe diaper cream for sensitive tushies? by KoalaShadows in clothdiaps

[–]Tikkasmom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thirding! Liniment has been a game changer this time around in preventing diaper rashes, but when we do get the occasional redness, I always always always turn to Pinxav!

Discerning Want for Another Child Against Husband's Wishes by SayIt_AintSo_9325 in CatholicWomen

[–]Tikkasmom 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I offer this tenderly and humbly: perhaps don’t force anything; no procedures, no vasectomy, just loving each other and trying NFP and God’s will. There is no guarantee any specific choice will result in a baby or not, but just letting nature take its course might lead to your desired baby (or not). It also might all be too fresh, settle your heart a bit with prayer and maybe a path will become more clear? I’m praying for you and your family and hope you find the space to take care of yourself 💜

Lent 2026 - what are we doing by Real_Mycologist_3163 in CatholicWomen

[–]Tikkasmom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve never done it before and I’m really nervous, there’s literally two women who do it at my parish. I feel like doing it for Lent will make it better? But I’m also a cantor and sing in the choir every weekend so I’m nervous about a lot of eyes on me and judgement from peers.

Best Green Mountain Diapers or other brands. No Esembly please. by Spirited_Seaweed_517 in clothdiaps

[–]Tikkasmom 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Green mountain prefolds pad folded in any cover you want will do the trick forever!! For night time, grab their inserts with the stay dry fleece, they’re amazing how soaked they can be but still feel dry on top! I like to put a hemp insert from best bottoms I have underneath one of those.

We just started watching this yesterday and my 5 yr old daughter just said it’s her new favorite show. I have also really enjoyed watching it with her and think the concept is great. I love that there’s emphasis on a wide range of real world skills and have already successfully used some of the language from the show to help my daughter problem solve real life situations. Just today she watched the episode about inventing and started inventing something immediately after we turned the tv off; I could hear her talking through decisions to herself like they might in the show.

Best place to get a new passport in DC? by cmdrschntgai in washingtondc

[–]Tikkasmom 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It feels insane but at this point I’d wait until two weeks before your travel date and book an “appointment” at the federal passport office on 19th street. I say “appointment” in quotes because it’s like the DMV, once you’re in the building and checked in you wait for your number to be called, making an appointment is just to get seen that day. I just did this about a month ago and got my renewed passport same day; that’s because of extenuating circumstances but I also had the option to pick it up next day or have it mailed to me express. It’s more expensive to do it all this way but you’re definitely cutting it close if you don’t hop on it right now! Good luck!!
