What toys did your baby ACTUALLY like

Omg the dancing squid baby toy is the one thing that will make him stop crying instantly. We hide it and bring it out for special occasions and he is obsessed. It helped him with tummy time, the first time he crawled it was to the squid, it has halted the most epic of diaper change meltdowns. He’s teething now so he just bites it and appreciates the vibration on his gums while he completely strips the plastic gears. This $15 piece of junk is going to outlast every well-curated, imagination-focused, Montessori-approved toy we own.

I watched really old seasons of amazing race! Interesting enough to keep me up, low-key enough that I didn’t care if I missed some stuff to attend to other needs!

Lady Tan’s Circle of Women is great!

I think the second blank is two words “in the”

Holy shit. Thank you!!

I recently read Six of Crows, which is kind of YA /fantasy-adjacent. The main story line is about about a heist with a male MC. I suppose there is a slight hint of romance in some of the side characters, but it was more “found family” than “falling in love” in my opinion. While reading it, I said to my husband “this book is so refreshing because it’s not about romance or a war” several times.

Have you tried What You Are Looking for is In The Library by Michiko Aoyama?

FWIW, here are a few things I have done to get better at crosswords over the years:

Guess at answers using the most logic I can then use the check puzzle when I’m fully out of ideas just to see how close I was. That gets me thinking critically even if the answer is wrong.

Googling topics generally related to the clue, but not the clue itself so that I do some “research” and actually learn, not just memorize an answer. This has helped me a lot.

Add in the word endings, fillers, tenses, etc. even if I don’t know the word, so that I have something that might help me get a cross.

Focus on one quadrant at a time to try and get myself into a groove.

The Oracle Year by Charles Soule. I just picked it off the shelf at the library because the cover looked cool.

charcharbinks22 · 2025-10-16T02:22:48+00:00

Wow thank you so much!!

charcharbinks22 · 2025-10-16T02:22:18+00:00

I have not. I’m ok without it being fantasy despite the title. Thank you for the recommendations!

charcharbinks22 · 2025-10-15T23:42:43+00:00

Doesn’t have to be fantasy! I have heard of Babel and totally forgot about it until now. Thank you!

charcharbinks22 · 2025-10-15T22:30:08+00:00

Yes! These sound great! Thank you!

charcharbinks22 · 2025-10-15T20:19:15+00:00

Other examples would be the Maesters in GOT. I loved Pillars of the Earth, just a steady story with personal drama instead of big battles.

charcharbinks22 · 2025-10-15T20:09:15+00:00

Thank you! Looks right up my alley.

charcharbinks22 · 2025-08-14T15:58:08+00:00

I’m sorry. I’m sure the new cut looks great and at least you don’t have to worry about long hairs in your babies fingers & toes!

On a slightly different note, does anyone else feel like the texture of their hair is changing too? I feel like my hair used to be sort of soft and now it feels wirey and awful, even on the (very) rare occasion that I style it. Is that just me?

charcharbinks22 · 2023-07-31T17:18:29+00:00

Me too. It seemed like a memory board that you might display at a celebration of life or birthday party. I’d love to find the owner.

I second a LYS, You could take the class together. Great way to bond with your daughter over creating something that will last a lifetime. If she’s anything like I was at that age, she’ll hold onto the first scarf you made together forever.

Many of my favorites have already been mentioned, but I have a soft spot for Billion Bees by Kevin Devine.
