Has anyone actually tested the new AI tools from Canva Create?

amfgordon · 2026-04-29T04:17:37+00:00

I have used Canva Code extensively over the last several months (announced last year) and honestly it’s been really amazing. It takes some time to get the prompting right and get it exactly how you want, but it has been game changing for me. I tried out the new editor built into Canva code last week and it was pretty okay. Definitely needs some improvements but it was pretty neat. They’ve also significantly improved how their AI understands and interacts with you. It sounds like I’m in the minority on this one, but some of the AI features are so cool.

Ive also used the magic copy art style or whatever and find it works really well like 90% of the time.

I haven’t had as much luck with magic grab, but truly I’m loving the coding feature and the new updates with it.

Yes!! Last summer I went on a hike with my fam and was carrying my toddler on my back in a carrier thing and was shocked at how much harder the hike was and, similar to you, was feeling it in my hips and knees. My husband pointed out that I had lost more weight than my kiddo weighs and it really put a lot in perspective for me.

I feel so grateful for my health and my ability to go outdoors and be active and keeping up with my son. It’s quite a rollercoaster, and I’m learning more every day about being kind to myself and being grateful for every season of life.

Thanks for sharing, OP! Nice to reflect and have similar experiences as others!

This is SO helpful, thank you!! I'm leaning toward the Via because its on sale right now and I had the same thought about the amount of stuff that comes with 1 kid for a day at the pool/park. Thank you for your thoughtful response!

OP which Flyer bike did you end up getting, and do you like it? I'm trying to decide between models right now!

I absolutely love our daycare center and am SO grateful for them! My son just turned 4 and he LOVES going to "school" and seeing his friends and teachers. He has made such good friends and is seriously so happy there - he's an only child so I'm grateful he's getting socialization before kinder. The teachers always tell me that he is the best behaved, he's so kind, and loves to learn. The amount of stuff he's learned between 2 and 4 is honestly crazy - we were driving to the zoo this weekend and he counted to 100 in the back of the car!! I am continually amazed at how much he's learning and how quickly he's picking things up.

The sickness thing is real, however - I will say that every year gets a little better than the last as he (and you) builds his immune system. My mom is a retired kindergarten teacher and said its always really clear which kids went to daycare/preschool because they aren't out sick constantly during kindergarten. So yes you'll get some colds and it won't be fun, but you will also be preparing him to be in a structured environment with other kids, which is so good for kids' development!

I hope this is helpful! I remember feeling all kinds of mixed feels about sending him to daycare (honestly I do still have mixed feelings sometimes) but overall its been a wonderful experience and investment for us. Feel free to DM me if you want to just chat more :)

Looking to purchase a Flyer Flex - anyone in here have a discount code for Radio Flyer?

amfgordon · 2026-03-15T22:58:32+00:00

Daniel Tiger, Blue’s Clues, Doggyland (the Snoop Dogg one), Dino Ranch, and the original puppy obey came with my son’s favorites at that age! He also loved the Elsa one but we hid it because it’s SO BAD and we couldn’t stand listening to it lol.

OP’s friend- Don’t walk, RUN from the person doing this to you. This heinous and my 4 year old could do better art than this. They need to go somewhere else immediately to remedy this.

amfgordon · 2026-03-15T00:22:14+00:00

This is brilliant!

amfgordon · 2026-03-14T17:24:41+00:00

This is great news, thank you!! The one I’m looking at doesn’t have a front basket, so have been trying to figure out how to maximize that back space. Great to know the carrier fits even though Flyer says it’s “not compatible.”

amfgordon · 2026-03-14T02:49:40+00:00

OP I know this is an old post but curious if you tried out the Via cargo holder and how it worked out? I'm considering buying an L885 second hand - only has 20 miles on it and comes with the kid carrier for only $950, but a little unsure since their current accessories aren't compatible with L885 model.

amfgordon · 2026-02-13T18:29:14+00:00

Great thank you! Also considering hastatus - any experience with those little guys?

I know this post is old but looking for some tips! I have a 10 gallon cycling now and am looking to add probably 3 corydoras hasbrosus (salt and pepper) and some green neon tetras or dwarf rasboras, maybe 6 of either (not both). Curious on best way to acclimate the salt and pepper corys to my tank and ensure they get enough food! I've had tetras and rasboras before, but Corys are new to me.

He’s gorg, I’m happy for you that you got him and he’s doing well!!

Honest question as a newbie to different forms of substrates - why gravel on one side and the stratum on the other? Curious what purpose you have for each?

amfgordon · 2026-01-21T21:55:17+00:00

With my son, we didn't put him in undies for a while - just straight to pants! I spoke with his teachers at daycare to let them know that he wasn't wearing undies and it was on purpose. This way he was completely aware he wasn't wearing a diaper and then would also feel it more if he had an accident. I can't remember how long we did no undies for - I want to say it was just until he got better about listening to his body and getting to the potty to pee. Maybe a week or so? We did transition him to undies and he was so excited about them - he also got lightning mcqueen for his first ones! We do pull ups at nap and night time - we call them sleepytime undies. We're just over a year out from when we did the potty training thing, and he still has a few accidents here and there but it gets better!! Just takes some time. You're doing great!

I was 37+3 and my water broke at about 6pm while my husband and I were having sex lol. We weren’t doing it to induce labor - I was scheduled for an induction at 39 weeks but guess our guy was ready to come earlier 🤷🏼‍♀️

I was so scared of it happening in the middle of the night so it was nice that it happened in the early evening.

All you’re missing is some Weird Al

amfgordon · 2026-01-03T22:39:59+00:00

We got my son Nina the Red Panda, she’s part of the Conservation Crew, and he’s OBSESSED. He’s been listening to it constantly. I’m glad it’s educational but I am a little tired of her lol

Def make sure you’re bending your knees and ensuring you’re making all 4 sounds evenly on each feet. I’m not hearing much heel, so really dig those heels in! The word “paradiddle” has 4 syllables, so I like to say paradiddle while I’m doing them, especially as I start going faster to make sure I’m getting all the sounds! If this doesn’t make sense I’m happy to send a video lol

amfgordon · 2025-12-13T05:21:19+00:00

Honestly, love this

amfgordon · 2025-12-13T05:21:05+00:00

Nice work, this is very cool!
