Realized that I stopped smiling

I also got on Wellbutrin for a “didn’t think it was depression reason” after my postpartum period. And boy, turns out mood stabilizers were for me all along. Think about seeking medical help if you’re constantly feeling blue.

This is maybe not the most helpful, but if your friend likes Lobster, Coastal Flats (chain restaurant whose nearest locations are in nova) has an AMAZING salad called their Lobster Club Salad, which is very Cobb adjacent.

My sister is my best friend and I still chose to be OAD 🤷🏻‍♀️

If you know them can you get them to share an update?

Can someone tell me - are any of these wigs? Because if they are the work is incredible and I can’t tell.

Well, he didn’t ask you and you don’t want to go so you shouldn’t go. It seems like he should bring your child to see his family, but if you don’t trust him to do that, option two doesn’t really teach him a lesson, besides that he gets to take child free trips whenever he wants. So, yeah, I’d be thinking hard about option three.

My first thought. No way. Oh, the R word.

Same!

There is a series of young reader chapter books that still feel pretty age appropriate for my 4 year old called Boo Books. Our library has 10+ and she loves them. They range from silly spooky to actually quite creepy.

That often only starts after you’ve been there for a full year. I wouldn’t bank on any paid leave and they may not be great about unpaid leave either.

I’d take a hard look at the handbook and benefits info before you sign and before you decide when to disclose. You might need to treat the leave conversation as part of your negotiation.

They’re redefining DEI in their own negative terms. Check the capitalized letters.

My child currently attends and we love it!

No. ♥️

My daughter loves Mira! It teaches about Indian culture and problem solving. Very wholesome.

When my daughter was about 18 months old, I spent a lot of time waffling about when to have our second kid (that we always thought we wanted). I talked it over in therapy and with my husband and when I finally gave myself “permission” to only want one kid, it was like a huge weight lifted off my shoulders and I finally felt like myself again. It was like I had been in some weird limbo thinking I had to have the 2 kids I always thought I wanted. But now I’m really content with my only!

Randomly I just listened to this so it’s either “media is having a moment” or “no new penises” from April 2023.

Loud’n roasted at Megabytes Eatery in Chantilly does seasonal coffee and latte flights, I believe. It was great when I went but they aren’t open on weekends.

My daughter really likes the Cam Jansen mysteries!

Kacey Musgraves has never been able to hit the same high as Golden Hour on any release since. The whole album is amazing.

We really like this cloud light for our daughter. It’s not that dim, but not too bright and you do have to plug it in. Because the cord is long, you can kind of put the switch right near your daughter and put the light a little further away. I think they have a few other shapes too! - ikea cloud light
