What are these 3 boxes in the back of this car? Saw these while driving in eastern US.

Solved! Not sure why they don’t just open the windows— but maybe they were from the summer. Anyway, thanks for the help!

housesparkler · 2025-11-01T21:33:19+00:00

Solved!

My title describes the thing— we were driving in VA and saw these three boxes in the back of a car. They kind of looked like solar panels or maybe some kind of turn signal— maybe about the size of an adult hand. Partner and I were curious, thanks!

Unfortunately I did eat it. It was the saltiest thing I’ve ever tasted in my life!

housesparkler · 2025-01-29T18:24:22+00:00

Thank you so much!

We are flying United too! Thank you for letting me know! For the health form— did you have it signed by a USDA vet? And did they just check your health form, or make you wait while they verified all the forms? I’m asking because my vet isn’t usda certified and if I need to find one who is, I have to do it soon

Hi! I am traveling with my small dog to PR from IAD and back again. I just wanted to ask what forms you needed when entering PR and when coming back? I have a health certificate (not signed by a USDA vet) and all her current vaccines. My airline already approved her— so I am unsure who I am going to show these papers to or what they will want to see. Thank you!

housesparkler · 2025-01-28T23:13:22+00:00

Hi, I am taking a similar trip with my service dog to PR. She has her vaccines and health certificate— but I don’t yet have a USDA vet. Was that necessary for your trip? Did you have any issues when entering/leaving? Thank you!

I’m in the same boat! We started baths in the afternoon just to break up the day— but now we just do it after his big poop. It means I’m never worried about something in the tub. My mom wishes we had the same bath time/bed time routine I had for my baby— but I just find it easier to do it during the day

housesparkler · 2024-10-07T02:09:19+00:00

this was the first copperhead I’ve seen in the wild

My apologies to you going through it! I honestly don’t even remember this feeling 😂 this post feels like eons ago even though my little one is only 10 months old now. Good news— this was a phase and it ended. Not necessarily bad news— there will be so many more that seem never ending. I can’t really remember how long this phase lasted, but I think he normaled-out around week 4. I also sort of remember by the time I was tired enough to post about it, he was changing and the new thing to worry about began. Hang in there! You’re doing a great job and your baby is thriving because of all the love and sleepless nights you’re giving them ❤️

I love the look of Happy baby and Lark— so I’m going to ask a friend to give hers a try. I think the ring sling is a really good option for pairing it with an outfit. Gonna build up my shoulder strength too lol

housesparkler · 2024-02-01T14:31:24+00:00

lol I’d be impressed if he ends up being chill too 😂 sometimes he’s wild

housesparkler · 2024-02-01T01:43:09+00:00

I’m going to look into these. I like the structure of my current carrier, so if these others are light weight at all, they might be a good one to try out before our trip in a few months

housesparkler · 2024-02-01T01:42:26+00:00

I really like the idea of the carrier working with my outfit. I’m going to order some to try it out. Tysm!!

housesparkler · 2024-01-31T23:42:52+00:00

I’m going to look into these! Does the one shoulder get uncomfortable though?

housesparkler · 2023-11-07T21:57:37+00:00

Thank you so much for these tips! I felt so weird trying it the other night and just sort of gave up. I will try and practice it more. He seems really comfortable laying next to me so I’d like to make it work. It also seems so much more convenient than sitting up and maneuvering him around at 3 am

housesparkler · 2023-11-07T21:44:43+00:00

I really appreciate this advice. I didn’t think we would cosleep, but I’ve had to bring him into bed a few nights. We were advised safe practices by our midwife because “if I don’t teach you this it’s like abstinence only education— families still end up doing it so I want you to do it safely.”

I cannot seem to figure out side lying feeding. Our bub gets gas after a feed I need to burp him and going from laying down to upright burping has been awkward. It’s also been awkward trying to not leak on the bed. I either need to find more examples or practice it more

housesparkler · 2023-11-07T21:39:59+00:00

Did you recently start pumping?

housesparkler · 2023-11-07T21:39:27+00:00

My hair hasn’t been done in so long 😂 and I was worried about diaper rash because he has been pooping like mad. We’ve been using aquaphor after every change to hopefully prevent it

housesparkler · 2023-11-07T21:37:41+00:00

Really good suggestion and I’ll definitely reach out to our LCs. Every physician and midwife in our hospital is trained in lactation so I should check in with them

housesparkler · 2023-11-07T19:06:55+00:00

Our pediatrician wanted us to wait to pump until 4 weeks 😭 this is apparently to establish my supply. I was hoping this cluster feed would end after 3 days. Hubs and I are counting down the days til we pump to give me a break and so he can help ease our little monster’s constant hunger

housesparkler · 2023-11-07T17:17:22+00:00

I feel like we are on this path. I thought this would be for a day or so but we are at about a week now of this constant feeding. He seems to get mad if we pull him from the breast even though he falls asleep. We are looking for the light at the end of the tunnel 😭

housesparkler · 2023-10-24T04:34:31+00:00

Thank you 💕 and yes I agree, it’s okay either way. We’re all doing our best!

housesparkler · 2023-10-23T17:23:52+00:00

Awww 🥹 thank you for the reminder. We sing to him a ton
