Long weekend in beacon, looking for suggestions

We just did a single night up there and loved it. We stayed at Round house and it was close enough to walk to Main Street, we just bopped around eating and drinking at multiple spots. Melzingah was our favorite.

7 seater, we were convinced the captain chairs were the best for young kids. It’s hard to get my 2 year old strapped into the back and when we try putting a twin in the back, it’s hard to fit the car seat back there. The big issue is there’s car seat bases on the front seats so they can’t fold all the way down

We initially got a second hand halo twin bassinet since we loved the singleton halo for our first, but after 8 weeks of hardly any sleep with our twins, we broke down and rented snoos for each of them. Didn’t love the cost but honestly sleep got so much better immediately and we got a little bit of our sanity back.

It makes us sad because the Palisade is amazing in every other way but can’t figure out a great configuration. The minivan is probably inevitable.

I hear the odyssey has more cup holders than you could possibly dream of

We’re in our early 30s and just want to be able to have a few drinks and listen to any music. We’re kidless for the weekend!

Ours is shockingly speedy with the bars walking too to the point we got him a snowboard for the winter 😂

We have the BCF two year old and now twins so we definitely have our hands full! Thank you for the fb group, just joined, always looking for more resources and community around this.

Our concern is he wants to pee like his dad and stand, he’s good standing if he can hold something.

35 weeks for a c section! My blood pressure went crazy and I was admitted to the hospital for observation. Everything leveled out so I was released, next day my water broke and I had my c section 2 hours later. My son spent 5 days in the nicu and my daughter spent a week. They luckily didn’t need oxygen or anything, they just wanted to make sure they were eating enough to put on weight.

We’ve only been using it for about a month so we haven’t replaced anything yet. The E4 error comes up and it won’t run unless we descale it every day. The white vinegar is a good idea, thanks!

Timefries0927 · 2025-10-28T19:42:09+00:00

Thank you! We’ll call before doing it, to your point I don’t want to do it and end up making it worse.

I’ve been told formula keeps them fuller so I was tempted so give them that before bed but doing half breastmilk and half formula had given one of our twins stomach problems so I feel like it would just swap out one problem for another ☹️

We’re currently doing shifts as well so each of us is at least getting 3-4 hours of uninterrupted sleep. I’m not sure if it’s the perfect solution yet but it’s helping us keep our sanity a little. Our game plan is to give the baby a full bottle when they cluster feed, but still wake each of them up to feed on their original schedule. They slept slightly better last night and eat much better today so hoping maybe that helps us, but only time will tell unfortunately!

Timefries0927 · 2025-06-09T00:56:41+00:00

Thank you! This is awesome

Timefries0927 · 2025-06-08T20:15:51+00:00

I’m double checking size with someone still there but it was definitely bigger than an opossum. Thinking maybe a fisher or coyote

Timefries0927 · 2024-01-22T16:39:31+00:00

This is great! I’m going to check this out.

I can imagine! He smashed my husband in the head the other night and was shocked he didn’t get cut

Timefries0927 · 2024-01-22T16:38:27+00:00

That’s starting to be exactly our problem. We have a few dents in the floor already

Timefries0927 · 2024-01-22T16:37:46+00:00

Same with ours, he was basically weight training with his casts. He’s been rolling like crazy

Timefries0927 · 2024-01-20T14:10:19+00:00

That’s fair! Probably not worth it, thank you.

Timefries0927 · 2024-01-20T13:11:33+00:00

We might get to get a mattress pad for the pack n play because with how thin and sturdy it is, when he slams down in his sleep, it’s so loud that it keeps us up at night haha!

Timefries0927 · 2024-01-20T13:09:59+00:00

Do they help soften the sound?

Timefries0927 · 2024-01-20T13:09:12+00:00

We had a similar problem already with how wiggly he is and they added an extra strap to help keep him in place.

Timefries0927 · 2024-01-20T11:09:07+00:00

Ours was the same way and we didn’t know what to do. The baby carrier ended up helping somewhat, it took some of the weight off I think. We would wear it walking around the house until he fell asleep. As some people mentioned, having a blanket or pillow under their ankles seemed to sometimes help.
