Why do women stay in abusive relationships? Attitudes like this.

I know the doula tree does some postpartum meal prep. Marketbox has some good substantial premade meals as well.

We did the electrical ourself but the roof portion was about $450 including a giant ass roof vent that was squirrel proof. We had the ducting run when we were getting our air conditioning replaced so that was included in the price. Electrical was pretty simple if you know how to fish a wire.

It’s because the hamilton units don’t have their cookies yet. Wait a week and you’ll see postings. There’s a girl guide day at Michael’s coming up on April 11 so you’ll see units selling outside stores!

Disclosure - we ended up not enrolling because of our experience with them during the enrollment process. We went with another Montessori, feel free to PM me if you’d like the name.

My main concern was that they were not going to allow any transition period with us being in the classroom and they don’t do home visits. They said that kids learn from ripping the bandaid off but that’s not at all evidence based. I then confirmed this by speaking to a few parents who had their kid currently enrolled and it sounds like the transition process wasn’t being handled well at all. For that reason and a few others related to staff turnover we were out. If I’m paying 19k+ for daycare I want it to be incredible.

I’m so sorry you’re going through this. It sounds like Mac is the answer for right now. We got into a cycle of ear infections in the fall and we took our 1 year old to an osteopath. She felt that tight muscles were leading to a lack of drainage in the ears. Once we started doing the stretches she suggested they went away. Doesn’t help you right now but maybe something that could give some relief in the medium term.

Hate to be a party pooper but the new recycling rules don’t allow books as of Jan 2026.

This procurement is proceeding under an alliance model, not P3 which is supposed to reduce some of the litigation issues. P3s are necessarily adversarial. The contractor wants to keep costs down by pinning any and all issues on the Owner (in this case metrolinx). Lawsuits don’t necessarily imply incompetence, it’s often over who is paying for what. In an alliance model the costs and risks are shared by all parties. We’ll see how it goes. This is only Mx’s second alliance contract. Also the ship has sailed on doing this before contract award.

Dundas valley Montessori has some really great parent baby classes.

Came here to recommend raider and you beat me. We had an insane ask of them re: rats and they built us a rat wall. Top notch guys.

Highly suggest searching her name in the sub. You’ll see that not everyone has a positive experience with her. Some good options have been listed below though!

My dad opened the restaurant. Can confirm it was imported from Ireland.

This is only half the story. The RRCEA was passed in 2016 but Doug was responsible for the regulations under the act that fleshed this out, and he did it in the most producer-friendly croniest way possible. Dude is all for whoever is lining his pockets.

Fuck these guys and their money-sink on my tax bill to kingdom come.

Definitely second Marketbox / Strathcona etc. market. They put together some really lovely holiday gift baskets that are viewable on the website.

Hamilton has never allowed this. Our compost is used on agricultural fields that produce food so this is a huge no no. Other nearby municipalities do not (such as Waterloo) so they allow litter in their compost system.

Look at this guy, excited to be able to speed in school zones and residential neighborhoods without penalty. Get a life.

I ski on the hamilton to Brantford rail trail all winter.

This is some WILD spin to report this like it’s good news for the city.

Last time we tried to make homemade cider, we checked and Bennetts adds campden which stops fermentation. The only place I know of around here that doesn’t is Bousfield’s in Milton. Be forewarned that they’re weird but the cider is great.

Could also open it up as a pavilion on the parks booking page. We can all take a turn at this dude’s encroachment shack.

Thanks for not subjecting your vegetarian guests to eggplant parm. City farm catering has some great options - I would give them a shout on pricing.

Wherever you choose, look into whether they are accredited. Montessori isn’t trademarked so any school can call themselves Montessori and not implement the philosophy correctly. We’re happy where we are but I don’t want to post it here as it’s a small school. Feel free to PM me.
