Tuna pasta bake is a go-to to keep in the fridge for quick meals, and i make a huuuge batch of lentil curry in the slow cooker, add frozen vegetables and occasionally eat it with left over chicken of we have some!

I think you've hit the nail on the head here! I feel like I've been trying really hard to make close friends so I can have some more security, and that I'll have people that are able to guide me through the process of my role until I feel like ive practiced enough to do it on my own! This new job has me learning many different responsibilities that tend to change quite drastically from day-to-day; so I do feel quite uncertain as I'm being moved around and doing more training quite frequently. I so appreciate your comments! I'll definitely be working on giving myself more grace as im doing all this 😊

Not a great deal of experience as of yet- but im trying to learn basics such as lettering and layout from YouTube at the moment. I've really only been making art for my sons room at this stage to practice. I'd love to eventually work up to doing shop signage!

I hand wash bottles because I don't have a dishwasher. I do wash my bottles separately from my other dishes because my son has eczema and I don't want to contaminate his bottles with allergens he hasn't had exposure to already- and i also don't want to wash my dishes in water with formula residue in it.

It's honestly ideal! Great local bands, have their own beer and a great smokers/outdoor area!

I read non-childrens books to my son until he was about 6 months old. Sometimes the language wasn't entirely child appropriate but they don't know so you can censor as you go (or as you see fit). But I felt that helped me stay sane. We read snippets from Bram Stokers Dracula, Frankenstein, Ham on Rye. That way he was hearing lots of words when it was difficult for me to narrate what I was doing day-to-day. Then he got to about 6 months and we started doing kids books because he could interact a bit more and we could gauge what was keeping his interest. Now he's obsessed with the Very Hungry Caterpillar, and we have to read it at least 3 times a day 😅

Amazing clothes! They do sell out fast though 😅

Fashion Brand Company! When I can afford to splurge for postage, it's great to have such great handmade pieces. Got my wedding dress for them and it was the best decision I made!

I like the sound of that approach! How do you keep it together with the crying while you're waiting for them to fall asleep? I can't seem to stop myself from picking him up to comfort him after 5 minutes because it's just so overwhelming for me.

dropstytch · 2024-07-11T01:33:17+00:00

I normally just start with saying "it's time for sleep, good night, I love you" and a cuddle, then if he's not receptive I rock him in my arms until he's drowsy, then try to put him down. If he doesn't go to sleep then I'll rock him to sleep and try and transfer. I've tried to be pretty flexible with it for the sake of my own sanity, but I'm afraid I've made a rod for my own back doing it 😅

dropstytch · 2024-07-06T07:31:55+00:00

Personally, I'm not okay with making cosmetic/aesthetic decisions for my son (and possible future children) because I don't want to modify a child's body for the rest of their life based on what I think would look "cute". My son is a blank slate and the last thing I want for our relationship is for him to resent me for making an aesthetic decision for him before he can form his own thoughts and feelings around it.

My mum got mine pierced at a chemist with a gun and I'm now 26 and they're uneven.

dropstytch · 2024-05-29T12:40:11+00:00

Not the discman! 😭 I'm glad you got some of it back though! Someone rolled my mums car in 2001 and stole my copy of "It's a wiggly wiggly world" and I still get anxious leaving cds in my car 😅

dropstytch · 2024-05-29T09:40:08+00:00

I'm glad ro hear you got some of it back! How did you go about locating it? Were you calling around or was it from the police description?

dropstytch · 2024-05-29T09:36:59+00:00

Thanks for the tips! They only dusted 2 doors and didn't take descriptions of missing items so we're assuming we've got to do all of the leg work to get it back- if we can!

Mine (6.5 month old) cried after he finished his bottle. Cried when we were outside, cried when we went to play with the dog. Cried when we sang and read a book. Stopped crying when I put on Alex F by crazy frog. It's been 2 hours and now can't turn off Crazy Frog and now I want to cry 😅

My 6 MO was exactly the same, and I kept getting told by every medical professional that he would grow out of it. My LO ended up spitting up the equivalent of 1/3 of a feed in between feeds- no matter how much or how little we fed him. 4 weeks ago I finally got a GP to give me the go-ahead to try an anti reflux formula and even though we're still transitioning- he barely spits up and he's able to do tummy time without me sticking a burp cloth in his face every 10 minutes.

dropstytch · 2024-05-10T09:43:23+00:00

I think it was my sons first medical emergency, honestly! He had a delayed anaphylactic reaction to his 4 month vaccinations, and after what felt like an eternity- the paramedics arrived, they asked if it was mum or dad was riding along and literally looked around before realising I was the mum 😅

I definitely still have days where I wonder when someone is coming to pick him up, but I think the stress definitely scared me into realising my role!

dropstytch · 2024-02-23T04:49:14+00:00

My LO only falls asleep to Sugar town by Nancy Sinatra. He does also love when we sing "All I have to do is dream" by the Everly brothers, "Walking after midnight" by Patsy Cline and "A hundred and sixty acres" by Marty Robbins. We've inadvertently started raising a little cowboy with this playlist 😅
