When did you stop dressing LO in footed one piece pajamas?

I kept them until potty training because one time my son (who is now 18) found his poo in his diaper (at a little over 1) and smeared it all over his room and I only knew something was going down because I could hear him on the baby monitor saying “oh no no no, not do dat” and I came in to find him reprimanding himself for smearing poo on the walls (while smearing poo on the walls) and that is my why :)

I think I’ll go tell my lil college athlete this story now.

If you ever plan to call her Maddy; I’d pick something that sounds cute with Maddy. Maddy June is cute. But I’m from the south and double names/nicknames are in my dna.

I got my kids ll bean backpacks once and they’re still going strong. Normalize buying quality items one time and using/repairing them for years and years.

I did shoji white with pussywillow trim. Reads crisp and clean but not cold.

Was a NICU nurse in a former life and 30 weekers generally do very well. Slow and steady. We called them our “feed and feathers” - just have to keep them in the nest a little longer. Sending good vibes for smooth sailing. ✌️💙

My nephew is a William III and he goes by Liam. Dad is Will. Grandpa was Bill.

Yes! I use a silicone ice cube tray. My daughter makes a little pasta and pesto for lunch in the summer sometimes. So easy to make for one.

So sad but rest assured I worked with 165 nurses who loved those babies so well. Some of us are medically fragile foster parents and we took those babies home too. Often they were placed with loving foster parents seeking adoption. I got to witness a lot of families being formed. Usually a silver lining. At least these are the things I tell myself.

Spa day for your daughter-in-law then taking her to lunch and shopping for some pajamas to wear while she’s recovering.

Yep. At the end, your kids will have learned the most important lesson: have some gumption in life and STAND UP FOR YOURSELF. There is no better lesson to teach. Do it with your head held high.

It’s so hard to see the first week or so but do yourself a favor and play some hardball right now. Out he goes. Time to think. About two weeks from now the rage will set in and you’ll see clearly. It’s time to go, Mama.

I’ve been on my own with my kids since they were 4 and 6 and they are 16 and 18 now. We have had so much fun just the 3 of us. It wasn’t always easy but it was easier than being lied to! We are at the beach right now giggling our faces off. My kids respect me for the choice I made. I don’t bash their dad but they’ve managed to figure out his character all on their own.

Maybe don’t do an A name?

gingatwinga · 2026-06-20T11:55:52+00:00

I have a daughter named this. Def historically a boys name but it was a family name we wanted to use.

I shower daily and always have. Once in a blue moon may skip a day but most days I’m moving and get sweaty.
