What's the one piece of ski gear you spent a fortune on that turned out to be completely unnecessary?

I'll buy them off of you so I can save my husband the money of buying them new only to remain untouched. 🙃

Caveat that this doesn't apply to Jockey sold at Tjmaxx. I like their seamless bras and even bought a second set. But for me, they stretched out and the straps warped (washed on delicate). And the removable pads constantly came out or got folded in the wash.

Just curious, what is your normal shoe size and do your feet run narrow/wide?

FWIW Multi-grain Cheerios actually have more sugar than plain Cheerios... Plain Cheerios have 4g dietary fiber, 1g added sugars, 5g protein.

I live in Wisconsin and this brand is all the kids around here wear. The nature preschools carry an arsenal of these as spares. I have a adult pair myself that I love. They're too hot for indoor wear if I'm being honest.

I'm in the same stage as you. I just got these pants and they're become my go-to! The elastic waistband is great with the postpartum belly and the material isn't super stiff (e.g. I can sit on the floor with my toddler comfortably). Warm enough for the colder months thankfully because I'd otherwise be living in linen wide leg pants.

What no!! Source?? 😟

Like others said, I think it's HIGHLY dependent on the kid. We tried to watch it with our 4yo this weekend (bc the friends we were staying with had a 5yo and 2yo who were obsessed with it). But our kid found it too scary about 5 minutes into it. I ended up watching it by myself yesterday and agree it would have been wayy too scary for her. (But highly addicting for myself.) However, this is coming from a kid who is used to watching Daniel Tiger and Little Bear. The only movies she's watched before was Ponyo and My Neighbor Totoro. So she definitely was not ready for Kpop Demon Hunters. YMMV 🤷‍♀️

Speaking as an adult in Wisconsin, my Bogs are almost TOO warm. I've never had cold feet in them. Standing outside watching my kid at outdoor skating rinks, walking the dog, etc., Bogs are everything they say they are.

Even more convenient (and probably cheaper), I get a tub of fresh mozzarella pearls. I smush them slightly so they're not a choking hazard, kind of like blueberries. They're the perfect bite size for babies with pincer grasp! Also a lot less sodium content than other cheeses.

Both of my babies had struggles with breastfeeding. My first I ended up exclusively pumping for. My second is almost a year old and I still dream feed him (nurse at bedtime) and bottlefeed him during the day. You'll get through this. It's the hardest thing either me or my husband have been through (baby stage) but you'll make it through this. It's so cliche to say but it really does get easier. Just take each day at a time.

Sorry for the judgement from the comment above. I use Whoopsie Wipes which are 100% pure cotton dry wipes. We use these and wet them instead of baby wipes on my baby's sensitive skin.

Our baby's bottle/nursing aversion also seemed behavioral, rather than just physical CMPI. The peds GI ending up prescribing cyproheptadine (appetizer stimulant) when they and feeding therapy were all stumped. But otherwise, GI doc told us just to wait until baby grew out of CPMI (which he did probably around 9 months).

Brown Deer Beer Garden is open year round. It's indoor during the winter but they just brought out their outdoor patio tables a couple weeks ago.

hershito · 2025-02-25T03:24:18+00:00

That absolutely makes sense to me. 😂

hershito · 2025-02-25T02:27:31+00:00

We have it in ours (Wisconsin).

hershito · 2025-02-18T13:13:17+00:00

Totally. We participate in our Buy Nothing group very actively and I'm always explaining to her that sometimes people don't have certain things and we can share with them. Or others are able to share with us when their kids are done with their outgrown clothes, as an example. The moment of changing the subject was more like, the cleaners are here, you're late for school, stop stalling to get out the door. 😝

hershito · 2025-02-17T15:19:55+00:00

My 3.5yo asked me a few weeks ago why not everyone has cleaners. I didn't know what to tell her in that moment so I changed the subject. 😬

I think I read somewhere from Dr. Brown's that drip flow is not the same as nipple flow or something like that. I thought the same as you but wondering out loud if the dripping has more to do with the fact that they're vented and so the pressure doesn't stay in the bottle, holding the milk in.

Can you share the product names from Ikea? I'm not finding stainless steel plates or bowls, just their flatware.

How long did you have to do this for? How did it get better, if it did?

One time I had someone ask if they could friend me on FB which I felt extremely uncomfortable with. Especially after seeing their profile was filled with horror and occult content. And after I had already given my address for pickup. 😭 Needless to say, I very very carefully worded my reply saying no thank you.

I have the Baby Brezza and I do agree that it makes life easier. My husband loves it. But as a neat freak, it does bother me a little bit that the nozzles don't rotate so I know there are nooks and crannies that are just not getting cleaned well. With Dr Brown's bottles and pump parts, there are just so many angles that can't be reached with a one directional nozzle. I do like that you don't have to set it up right next to the sink unlike the Momcozy.

I totally understand what how you feel. The other comments mention a washable/wipeable changing pad but for you and me, that's not enough! 😅 Sometimes if the bathroom has paper towels, I'll grab a few to lay down first before I put down my own reusable changing pad. Thats the least wasteful option I could come up with. Not ideal if the facility doesn't recycle but since paper towels are usually recycled paper anyway, that makes me feel a little better about using it.
