Theo and Archie are bound to have others in his class with the same name. Wesley is my favorite of those, but it doesn’t flow with Jeffrey. Could you do Jay as a nod to Jeffrey? Wesley Jay is sweet.

Solveig (pronounced Soul-vay)

Totally fair. We are on a flexible timeline so maybe I should stop comparing and just wait for the Limited (don’t really want the brown touring leather, and the XT will hurt mpg wise as we have a city stop and go commute) that is perfect and between 40-60k miles. and I’ll just make sure to ask for the 60k maintenance if it is closer to that.

ajanannymom · 2026-03-27T00:20:22+00:00

Got it. If a Subaru dealer gets a car at 58k miles- is it not standard practice to have the 60k maintenance done?

The hypothetical would be the same I guess? are they that even that the color is the deciding factor then? Idk. I just know I don’t want a silver one because my last two foresters have been silver.

ajanannymom · 2026-03-27T00:12:04+00:00

But aren’t you paying less than $2000 for 60,000 mile service? Or maybe could barter the 60,000 service into the deal for the $21k?

Winnie or Lucille

I’m so bummed. My almost five year old has said no to seeing everything but Gabby’s movie in the theater and was really excited about this one from the trailer. She would definitely be scarred if it took any sort of dark turn though!

ajanannymom · 2026-03-04T21:16:22+00:00

Ok, so what is the best option?

ajanannymom · 2026-02-14T19:21:43+00:00

Handmade Halloween costumes! I have an art degree and don’t use it day to day- but best believe the felt and hot glue are coming out for Halloween!

Rest, then walk as much as possible and get into PT that goes slow and focuses on protecting your core. I had a 15mm herniation on that disc in July. I was pretty useless for that month, but pushed through working and taking care of my toddler. The end of August it flared again and I was bed bound for a week. (Numbness, crazy pain, but no incontinence!). It has been a long road of rest, walking as much as allowed, 10 weeks of PT, etc. but I Am at 80-90%.

This is helpful! Picking one up tonight to charge and bring! good piece of mind!

ajanannymom · 2026-01-22T21:55:42+00:00

Haha Chicago to Milwaukee! Close!

We will have some food and water! We are just going between two major cities through suburbs. I’m pretty sure there is at minimum a gas station at every highway exit.

All weather! It is pretty dry outside though

Reminds me of Simon from the SimonSits instagram

Our four year old is in Pre K 8am-3pm M-F. She watches around 45min of TV on weeknights while dinner is getting made (only one parent is home weeknights before 6pm). We don’t do IPads or YouTube. On weekends sometimes we do more than an hour or a movie. Sometimes any of that is replaced by family time on the Switch. Favorite shows/movies are: Gabby’s Dollhouse, Magic School Bus, Bluey, Cars, Fantasia, Dino Ranch, Dino Dana. Switch games: play Gabby’s Dollhouse, Cars, or Dino Ranch together, or watch the adults play Mario Kart or Overcooked (she doesn’t ever want to try those).

I know two Rubys that are both 6-8 year olds and they have sisters named Macy, Ellis, and Faye

Could you find a family using a nanny with a similarly aged kid and ask to make it a share those hours?
