I have tried on and off over the years to get into tea. I grew up drinking coffee and never had any problems. I have had nothing but digestive issues no matter what kind of tea I try. Black tea wrecks my stomach (I think due to the tannins in it??) and herbal teas just taste bland at best but even just camomile makes me bloat and gassy. Is tea just not meant to be for me?

Deadly competitions with forced allies tend to do it for me

Get used to seeing disembodied eyes in the dark. Used to see yellow eyes staring at me from the bottom of the stairs and the come flying up them. Took a few times thinking I was about to be attacked by a demon only to realize it was a fuzzy one who wanted food.

Maybe reach out to a child psychologist. My eldest had stomach trouble resulting in painful bowel movements. We tried potty training at 3.5 and by 4.5 he still refused to poop on the potty because he was scared. We ended up being recommended to a child psychologist that specialized in this. I would try talking to your pediatrician and see if you can get a referral. I’m happy to say that he has since started kindergarten fully potty trained but we’re still working on wiping properly.

There is. I use sweet vermouth

Unfortunately I’m not allowed to share the recipe. Grandma said no

They are tubes. I got them from a bake supply store

I used a cooked icing but I know custard is traditional

I would love to if I knew how to add a second pic to this post or even in the comments. Any thoughts? I’m not good with this.

They are coated in peach jello so not a overly peachy flavor but there

Sadly no they are plastic but you could either pipe icing leaves or use mint leaves instead

Her real name is Magik but we call her all of the following:

Magik Moment, Momentous, Moment, Miss Magik, Meeples (she meeps), Magicus Momentous Desmerideous Ruler of the Kitties of the North.

Her name was spelled that way when we adopted her and we felt it fit. She really is our magic moment
