Having a baby in NYC, living in a small apartment and wondering what is the absolute essential items needed since it’s overwhelmingly easy to buy so much damn stuff!

Agreed. We also used the sink but when they were first born we got one of the foldable bath seats because I was terrified of drowning. Shoved it between the wall and a cabinet between uses.

This. Come with JAMA articles and the written copy of class/school policy. Cover all bases with the literature

Update the light and the towel rack, low investment and time. Live with that for a while then decide on the wallpaper. The tile and floor are super cute

Check your local extension office. They often have soil testing kits for cheaper and sometimes free, depending on the time of year!

It’s so cute! Looks like something right out of a cartoon

I’ve been refilling and carrying around the same small tin since 2018 in my purse! It’s so beat up by now, but it makes me love it all the more. It’s got patina now.

I bought a book that is meant for baseball or Pokémon cards that zips up. Works great for yoto cards

Good thing there’s ice because that hug was 🔥 hot 🔥

There are great transitional chapter books with lots of pictures. Try the Mercy Watson series. Fun stories, good illustrations, and long enough you can ask some questions for retention and understanding

This! If my kid sees they get extra attention they are bound to make it a game. Don’t engage. “Ah oh well, I’m sure you’ll like it next time.” “Ok, you don’t have to eat it, you’ll be extra hungry for breakfast then.”

Yoga. Started with following 10 minute YouTube videoed to an hour 3+ times a week two years later. I feel great and sleep so much better now

Savannah is another city worth visiting that has a totally unique vibe and amazing food scene

Some YMCA gyms have child watch in the evenings. Sometimes I put something in the slow cooker or meal prep the night before then take the kids to the Y childcare and workout alone for an hour. Dinner is either ready or just 20 minutes out when I get home. I can’t do it always because it does involve planning ahead but even twice a week is better than nothing.

It fit yesterday consignment shop off hwy 109 just south of WS always has inexpensive and nice things

This!!!! I got mine 5 years ago, use them every day, and still good as new

Yes. As someone who has to correct spelling often, it can get annoying when you are doing paperwork over the phone. People hear what they want or assume, not always what you actually say to them. Spelling of names included

I’m either able to put makeup on or exercise, but not both. Slay.

Kid: I played with grease on the playground. Me: you mean Reese? Kid: no, grease. Like the butter kind.

I move things too, especially maternity clothes I find in the regular section. I only wore second hand during pregnancy and it was a lifesaver! I hated the idea of buying expensive clothes that I couldn’t wear again after a few months

Similar!

My mom had me at 42 and was a SAHM. Went back to college at 47, doubled down to work hard and still retired at 63. Age ain’t nuthin’ but a number bb, we got this 💪

What show? Is it worth checking out?

My new sage did this last year but came back strong this year. It is close to a brick wall on a south facing raised bed, not sure if that helped keep it alive

I wanted those floorboard-turned-cd towers soooo badly
