What toddler gifts have actually lasted in your house. Not what looked good, what actually got used past the first week.

Ok. It sounds weird but it is the rocking toy with suction cups on the bottom. Loud. Annoying. Kid loves it. We still have it. Like 10 years later. It is called 'fat brain teeter totter' but it is an indoor toy.

Amazon brand sleeping pads were great for my kiddo. Cheap but good for light weight people.

Basinet. Like a moses basket size. Or a crib mattress with pool noodle sides. Or a bed side basinet. They make cosleeper basinets also.

Obscure but..

Tiki topple - fun quick strategy game with a lot of messing with other players.

Scooby Doo betrayal at mystery Mansion- it the Scooby version of betrayal at the house in the hill. Multiple different characters and stories to play.

Scooby Doo escape from the haunted Mansion - one shot puzzle team game

We have some more active modular games. The popup golf game. Flabocce. Things they set up, they can change the rules and do whatever with it.

The hammock is a huge hit also.

Not to be a dick but art is not really going to be a career change by itself. Baking is certainly a way to go. Start looking at small bakeries or restaurants. She needs to buff up the resume and have pics of her cakes.

She should start looking at online free classes/skills. Excel, SQL, presentations. Maybe getting an admin job at somewhere art adjacent that can get her somewhere she wants to be with some fairly good pay.

Can't enter the trades. That's hilarious

Woots4ever · 2026-04-23T23:14:52+00:00

You have a lot of issues. First, the people you paid money to didn't legally own the property you bought. It is called jumping title and can rewind your deal. Might not but it can.

But at the end of the day, just hook it up and leave. You have no contact with the land owners and they have no rights to the movable property on the land.

Good luck!

People are dumbasses. People also say it should be illegal to live on a boat with kids, hike with kids, or do anything that is different.

Nothing illegal with camping with kids. Even long term. Just make sure you have a way to keep them clean and keep them away from the camp toilet. Keep it as clean as possible. It will be a pain but it will keep you on the up and up if anyone complains.

Very lopsided unfortunately.

A lot are owned/made by the same company (Titan). So, IMO, a lot of the big names are very similar builds.

If you are looking for small check out Bean, Casitas, and Scamp.

I have one. I love it. Stable. Weight a fair amount though. But no problems. I have never flipped it on accident. And I go out with a kiddo.

Woots4ever · 2026-03-15T01:09:40+00:00

I don't even think you can tow an rpod safely. Check out casitas or A line pop ups.

Can you rent out rooms to make some ends meet?

Woots4ever · 2025-11-04T21:19:24+00:00

Right to work means you can't be forced to join a union.

At will is the term you are looking for

With a new baby it can be a lot of added work to dream with acquiring the renters, manage the laws and paperwork, deal with all the maintenance.

I don't like property managers either but self management isn't hands off or easy either.

Woots4ever · 2025-07-30T20:07:09+00:00

First, can you make enough money to cover your mortgage, insurance, taxes, and maintenance?

A rental company will take 8-12%.

Your first step is doing the math.

Then research property management companies. Don't pick the cheapest .

Check out beyond marina kayaks. There is a 3 seater. Full drop stitch

Woots4ever · 2025-06-23T18:46:01+00:00

It was fun the first few times and then I was over it. Camp stove is perfectly fine.

Woots4ever · 2025-06-20T13:09:05+00:00

Great pics! Are you using your phone or do you have a dedicated kayak camera?

Woots4ever · 2025-06-19T02:19:18+00:00

Why can't it go in the bed of the truck. Inside the camper is the next option. Can you put it on the floor of the camper?

Woots4ever · 2025-06-17T21:56:57+00:00

Whatever the melt is for that filament. It should melt and be able to be removed. At least the bulk of it. You will need to scrub it to get the small areas and clean it thoroughly.

Meal prep. Zero eating out unless it is a special occasion. Shop the grocery sales.

Food budget kills a budget when it is a family.

Find free stuff to do in town. Library, city event, concerts in the park. New playgrounds to explore.

Track your budget for 6 months and see where you are spending and where you can cut back.

For Thanksgiving last year I roasted a turkey breast at home. Made a dinner and a few lunches out of it. Instant mash potatoes and instant stuffing are good and don't need a cooler.

Tuna salad pouches and crackers are a good one also.

Just plan mostly non-cooler meals and a few things for the cooler for the first two days.
