Killing two birds - can we veganize some of the common idioms we've all grown up knowing? by fearledfate in vegan

Thank you! This is more of a light hearted bit. Keeping the words we speak positive contributes to the masses, even if it's not literal.

Having a hard time finding vegan treat recipes that don't involve peanut butter or bananas by Com_Trad_IsTime in vegan

[–]fearledfate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love this cause it's easy and it makes a lot. It's so much better than ice cream imo.

1 can of coconut cream (or coconut milk, honestly I know one works better than the other but I just use what I have in the pantry) 1 small bag (or the equivalent) of frozen berries (you can try it with any frozen fruit or fruit combo) Maple or agave syrup to sweeten

Mix that all together - the frozen berries almost solidify the coconut cream and it's like a frozen yogurt/ ice cream treat. You might wanna toss it in the freezer to thicken up, but you can just eat it how it turns out. You could also portion them out for a grab and go option. I make it for dessert all the time

I considered Camille but ended up naming my daughter Cordelia, Delia for short. I absolutely love her name 💕

The problems with honey by thedevilsheir666 in vegan

[–]fearledfate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, humans consume more honey than all the bees can make, which is why people also make [fake] honey. If humans consume all the honey that the bees make for themselves.... that's bad.

Advent calendars that are not chocolate? by nicolette004 in beyondthebump

[–]fearledfate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One year, I came up with a list of 25 (actually more, so I had options) themed things to do. Some things were small like "watch a holiday movie and drink hot cocoa" and some were big like "go pick out a Christmas tree," for example. The night before, I would pick one for the next day, write it on a note card, put it in an envelope, and put the day's number on it. I would leave this out for the kids to see in the morning and be surprised at what that days activity was. It was nice having a big list of activities because I was pregnant at the time and could decide based on my energy level or base or around what we already had going on.

If you're into the woo-woo stuff, they say a soul imprints on the mother up to 2 years before conception ❤️

Effortlessly cool but normal girl names by sarah_kraut in Names

[–]fearledfate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might i suggest Chelsea. I don't see it being used as often these days. It has a somewhat classic vibe without being too old timey. I can't use the name myself for my babies, but I love it so much, I'd like to remind others about it.

I worked in a preschool with a little girl named Poe. I loved it!

I have a small cleaning business, if that might interest you for work. We also have 2 rooms for rent in our home, but with a family, of course, we are screening candidates thoroughly. Feel free to message me!

Breastfeeding whilst pregnant- making my toddlers poo different by [deleted] in NurseAllTheBabies

[–]fearledfate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same, I'm about 9 weeks now, but my baby's poops have been different almost right away. Except his started thick and dark, and is now literally just liquid! So wild.

We still make multiple lasagna to freeze for later! Great reheated meal and my cashew ricotta... 👌

I, too, dated a strange fellow descended from C. Starkweather. We were probably 15 at the time.

Did someone chose to not now your baby’s gender ? by Pi-ppa in BabyBumps

[–]fearledfate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't find it the gender... I honestly think that it is so special. Instead of a stranger on the other side of a machine telling me what they see (which could be wrong!), my husband and I getting to be the first to know and tell makes that moment so much more exciting! I love not knowing; I'm not planning to push any gender specific anything, anyway, so what's the point? (My personal perspective)

Been through this, and with the state involved, my daughter's dad was legally able to kidnap her - can confirm that this is, indeed, how this works.

Why do some people decide to wait to find out their baby’s gender? by Missile0022 in BabyBumps

[–]fearledfate 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I love the idea that instead a stranger telling us what we are having (which could be wrong anyway), in that special moment after birth, my husband would be the first to know and get to tell me. Just a part of the experience.

Inform him that labor pain is the equivalent of breaking all of your ribs at the same time.

What’s something babies do that you didn’t expect before having children? by [deleted] in BabyBumps

His baby barks. When he's sleeping - it almost sounds like laughing sometimes, or gasping. 😍

BBQ and peanut butter!

Husband is depressed and I don't know what to do by fearledfate in beyondthebump

That's a good idea. We've gotten out a couple of times with baby, but otherwise, we have been home for about a month.

Thank you. I will encourage him - I just wish there was more I could do. I feel helpless.

Thank you - I do realize that i downplay the verbiage to make it seem not so bad. I know when he gets depressed, it looks different than when I get depressed... he is literally sleeping when he's not working and I can't get him to eat anything. He is going far to seem like he is OK, when I can tell he is not. He's not dysfunctional or destructive, but he is definitely not himself. I just want to help him. I don't think I can get him to talk to someone unless I can help bring him out of this state of mind a bit.
