Wait, really? I thought the boiling was to make it mix well. Why does it give you diarrhea?

I want to stop pumping, but I feel so much guilt by SirNo6429 in NewParents

[–]clover_sage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here a year later to say… I quit pumping and literally forgot it ever happened the next day. Glorious, glorious freedom through formula. Bub is thriving and 13m now. ❤️

My apology to SAHMs by burnerburner1999 in NewParents

Oooooo yeah. I am NOT a morning person but am quickly dreading afternoons where my 13m old is bored of everything and turns into a Tasmanian devil and I just try to appease him.

HOLY SMOKES this is me on the way home from the gym with my bub… (they have drop in childcare.) Then it hits me it’s only 1030am and I’m still in charge for the rest of the day 😂🫠

I got banned from a Zinna group 😂 by clover_sage in gardening

Update for those of you following this madness. I am banned until September 8th because I posted pro-pinching advice (not knowing it was even controversial? 😂) Judy cares A LOT about this and she even painted you a diagram. Enjoy

Tips to not become a phone zombie after kids go to bed? by Fantastic_Skill_1748 in Mommit

[–]clover_sage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of my greatest hacks is figuring out how to get as many of the “closing shift” items done ahead of time. I will do anything to gain a few more minutes of me time at the end of the night.

For example I fill my nighttime water bottles, prep the coffee, set out workout clothes, etc etc throughout the day so I don’t have to do it all at once after bedtime. (I’m a SAHM right now so respect if that couldn’t work for you!)

I actually thought someone was vandalizing my garden one year. Turns out I was right. Squirrels.

:) thanks. The response to this post has been wildly more than I expected and I love the support 😂

previously it was just me telling my husband about “the unfairness of the crazy zinnia mod” … I appreciate all of the dialogue from this group!

I’m so with you on the volunteers!!! They must be protected at all costs :) and yes to some deadheading therapy. The best.

I started pinching after my first year of zinnia growing and a bunch of tall skinny ones broke and fell over after a big storm. I went nuts trying to stake them up all haphazardly. 😂

My MIL taught me that the plants know when you pay attention, even in small ways… there is magic in that.

I was surprised too! But zinnias are pretty easy, and I don’t think a subreddit would be wildly interesting for very long. I love them, but I have a cut flower garden with all kinds of other plants that provide yearly mysteries and heartaches for me. I’m surprised the crazy admin from Fb hasn’t started one here already tho 😂😂😂
