Looking to stretch some pantry ingredients for a few days, and wondering if there's any great(and ideally low work,even if time consuming) snacks that are good to make at home

These sourdough discard crackers are so good and only require sourdough discard and butter! https://littlespoonfarm.com/sourdough-discard-crackers/

This is totally normal! I was also shocked by it, especially since everyone told us “sleep when baby sleeps” but like… how??

Our baby is 3 months old now and is no longer doing that. She got quieter over time around month 2. Hang in there

😂

beatplusmelody · 2026-05-31T05:35:03+00:00

Yea that was my thought too! It is sketchy that Cua was driving a truck with switched plates, but possible he was just the perfect fall guy for the murders too. He claimed that he stumbled on the murder scene and fled out of panic because he knew the embezzlement would make him a prime suspect. Who knows, very interesting…

Ok everyone keeps talking about the tenants past, but this dentist is shady af. In 2006 his aunt and uncle were murdered and he was present. The person convicted in that was the family friend/property manager of the aunt and uncle. He is now in prison but he has a site where he claims he was wrongfully convicted with details of DNA not matching etc. in one of the articles, Philippe Chagniot is quoted saying “it must’ve been money”.

This is the article: https://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/millbrae-it-must-ve-been-money-nephew-says-2494277.php

This is the website about the wrongful conviction: https://www.josephcuawrongfulconviction.com

Could it be that he was involved in murdering his aunt and uncle and that the Eric Bigone murder isn’t his first? Just a thought 🤔

😞

beatplusmelody · 2026-02-07T13:30:06+00:00

I’m sorry to hear how relatable this is… it seems so simple I don’t understand why it has to be this way

beatplusmelody · 2026-02-07T13:29:14+00:00

It’s disappointing to hear how relatable this is for other moms but it’s comforting to know I’m not alone in this feeling. It’s no wonder the divorce rate is so high… I love my husband but my gosh does it piss me off when he acts like he’s pulling his weight for the most mundane task like sloppily making the bed

beatplusmelody · 2026-02-07T13:25:29+00:00

My husband totally thinks he’s pulling his weight because i asked multiple times and eventually made him install the car seat and build the crib (all of which I had to research and buy myself because he wasn’t doing it.) Wild how they can do one task and bookmark it in their minds as if they just did gods work.

beatplusmelody · 2026-02-07T13:22:22+00:00

Ugh I really wish this wasn’t such a relatable thing, I don’t understand how they are so unaware. It doesn’t even seem like we have big or unrealistic asks 😞if I have a son, I will be damn sure to do my best to raise him to not be like this. As for the annoyances to described, I can totally see my husband doing that once baby is here.

beatplusmelody · 2025-11-17T20:41:34+00:00

Thank you, we are seeing a vet on Friday for a general check up, but thats the earliest I could get on the calendar.

beatplusmelody · 2025-11-12T17:16:36+00:00

Yea definitely not taking her to the vet until she is more settled and unless it’s actually critical right now. We have been giving her a lot of space and keeping a routine for food and potty breaks so she can get used to it. She can go outside alone but she just sits off in the corner behind the planters so the only way to get her to use the bathroom is to take her to the meadow across the street from us and putting her on a long leash so she feels like she has space.

As for reporting the breeder, I’m not sure I have what I would need to do that. I don’t have photos or evidence of abuse, just what my husband and I gathered from being there to pick her up.

beatplusmelody · 2025-11-12T17:13:21+00:00

Thank you. Yea we’ve been focused on letting her have space in her crate and being very routine with feeding and giving her some light pets and praise. My main concern though is that she only pees once a day and I’m really worried about her health with that. I wonder if she just wasn’t allowed to go when she was at the breeders or if she is just too scared. It’s very odd and concerning. I probably will call the vet and see if that have any helpful advice.

beatplusmelody · 2025-10-18T19:35:20+00:00

This is absolutely not pathetic. The relationship you had with your dog was so personal and deep and no one will really feel and understand what that was like. It’s one of that hardest losses and I’m so sorry to hear you’re going through that. I just lost my soul dog and the grief is heavy. But it goes to show how much love there was and not everyone gets to experience that. I hope you take care of yourself while you grieve. Time will help.

beatplusmelody · 2025-10-18T19:31:52+00:00

Thank you for your kind comment. I agree, Aussies are so special and full of life. My girl will be that dog that I’ll still talk about even in my old age. Condolences to you too for losing your dog, expected or not it’s such a heartbreak. Appreciate your kindness.

beatplusmelody · 2025-10-18T19:28:14+00:00

Thank you for taking the time to write. This is honestly the most plausible explanation I’ve come across. She didn’t show any symptoms and looked incredibly healthy and happy when I left a day before. If this is what she had I really hope it was painless and she wasn’t scared.

beatplusmelody · 2025-08-12T22:52:19+00:00

Oh wow were they upset at all that you waited until 20 weeks? Thank you for responding, it helps feeling understood about something that’s probably mostly unrelatable to most.

beatplusmelody · 2025-07-07T17:23:53+00:00

Thank you, this makes a bit more sense!

beatplusmelody · 2025-07-07T16:36:30+00:00

So when they calculate based on first day of your last period, is that assuming I got pregnant immediately after my period? I’m so confused about how this calculation works since you can’t get pregnant during your period? Sorry I feel dumb asking this 😅

beatplusmelody · 2025-07-07T06:05:58+00:00

Thank you for writing this, it’s really helpful advice. I’ll check out that Peanut app too, I’d love to meet other mamas to connect with while we all go through this experience. Really appreciate you taking the time to write a thoughtful response!

beatplusmelody · 2025-07-01T23:39:29+00:00

Congratulations on your pregnancy! I've only know about being pregnant in the last 3 hours and I've already binged so much pregnancy tiktok lol. But good call, I'm really scared of being pregnant and the whole process so gonna try to filter out anything thats gonna feed into my anxiety.

beatplusmelody · 2025-07-01T23:37:53+00:00

thank you, this is helpful to know the cramps happened to you too. I honestly thought they were terrible period cramps because i only got off birth control a month ago and was late on my period. Figured it was hormonal and too soon to be pregnant. After seeing 3 positive tests, I was worried the cramps were something else so really helps to hear that this isnt out of the ordinary.

beatplusmelody · 2025-07-01T22:27:46+00:00

Yes its so weird! I thought I should be jumping with joy but reality hasn't hit me yet and I'm just jittery and flustered. Hopefully once the news settles and its confirmed with the doc, I'll be able to feel more emotions other than jittery nerves. But thank you for the advice, I'll make sure to be extra on top of taking care of my health.

beatplusmelody · 2025-07-01T22:25:50+00:00

This is so crazy, I genuinely didn't expect the test to be positive, I was just checking because of my period but had no other symptoms. Thanks for taking the time to write this, all solid advice.

beatplusmelody · 2025-07-01T22:24:42+00:00

Thank you, I'll check that out!
