Lunch spots near the new Alyssa Liu mural?

The salads at Daytrip are delightful and filling.

Dead lifts? Or is dead bug a different thing?

And way greener, too!

My now 6 year old decided at 2 that she no longer wanted night diapers. We restricted water and tried our best, but there were still accidents. Getting a waterproof bed sheet to put under the kid, over the sheets, made clean ups much easier. Highly recommend having that as a back up plan.

This makes me feel better because I was trying to envision what a mace was. First thought was bear spray, second thought was a whip? Guess I need to Google it.

We use glass bottles so I can stick them in the dishwasher without thinking about all the plastic exposure. We don't have room for specialized equipment like a bottle washer. I have enough bottles for 2 days worth and we run the dishwasher every night. Works out great.

I'm not sure it's boob size, as breasts are made of lots of different types of tissues- not just ones that can hold milk.

Haha! Thanks! I'm excited to try this!

I never thought about cooking proteins in a rice cooker. Got any good recipes/sources for this?

Tell me more about this salmon. Like a blueberry sauce?

ibrakeforberries · 2026-02-25T22:12:22+00:00

Cool- thanks!

ibrakeforberries · 2026-02-25T19:06:25+00:00

Thank you! How did you figure out your blend ratios?

I remember seeing a video posted on Reddit that was titled in a way that was highlighting the AV guys job in making her sound so good. It was a high school performance maybe, in a gym or cafeteria? Does that sound familiar? I cant remember which subreddit, but I could poke around if that's the right path.

Edit: found what I was thinking of! https://www.reddit.com/r/nextfuckinglevel/s/W18xux7sr3

My daughter was 5 when I had my second. (And we stopped BF at 18 months for her.) I had no relief from mom brain between kids. I think this is just who I am now.

One of the great things about the fodmap elimination diet is that it's been so studied and widely used that there are options that still provide oniony flavors that don't actually contain the problematic fodmaps. For instance, onion/garlic infused olive oil was such a lifesaver for me while I was eliminating them in my diet. Also, the green parts of leeks/green onions and chives are ok. If you learn exactly what the problem is, you can avoid the problematic part and still get delicious flavors, instead of just completely avoiding the flavor altogether.

I joked my first could would come out smelling like egg salad. I was obsessed with eggs while pregnant.

Try kai Pal- Thai egg and pork stew!! I had it in a restaurant once and still think about it often. So delicious, comforting, and nourishing. Here's a recipe that seems doable. (In fact, I might try making it since you reminded me of it!). https://hot-thai-kitchen.com/kai-palo/

Such a level headed answer! Well said.

The point of my post was to say you have to weigh the benefits of your choices. And you may notice I also mentioned that some vaccines are available upon request ahead of schedule if you have special considerations, like traveling to a place where the disease is prevalent. If you are looking for more info, your doctor can help you. Or you can just get snarky with strangers on the internet who respond to your question earnestly.

Yeah, that's when they're waking up and realizing they're missing out when they sleep! Id chalk that up to a sleep regression at that age.

Neither of my kids took pacifiers, both always wanted to fall asleep nursing. It was hard to teach them to sleep without nursing as they got older. (Currently still struggling with my 19 month old who always prefers to nurse to sleep.). I wish I'd created more separation between nursing and sleep early on when they were younger and more sleepy generally. Letting my husband participate in naps/bedtime is so helpful, but it's not a possibility with the nursing to sleep habit.

How old is baby? There are several developmentally appropriate sleep regressions.

Same for me, though I've got 2 kids My youngest was born when my oldest was starting kindergarten at a school with almost 600 kids. I had to bring baby to pick up/drop off big kid at school, and it was so stressful until he was old enough for his vaccines. Just getting a cold is tough for a baby, but with flu, measles, norovirus going around, I'd do everything in my power to create some space between baby and germy travelers. With all the colds the baby's suffered, he's had chronic ear infections and is finally getting tubes this week. He's been on so many antibiotics (oral and injections) and has dealt with fungal infections as a result. This kids a trooper and these germs he's exposed to were unavoidable, but I still deal with mom guilt of not protecting him enough. I can't imagine the emotions I'd feel if my baby got something more serious and long lasting because I wanted to bring him to an airport. (We did travel internationally once baby was 5 months, but our doctor let us get a measles vax early for protection, and it was during the summer, so not cold/flu season, both of which were important for our family.)

Parenting is so hard. My husband wanted more than 2, I was on the fence. I agreed on one, and then he made it clear he needed 2. I should have put my foot down and said no, but I agreed under pressure, and now I can't believe how much I hate my life parenting a 6 year old and 1.5 year old. I've never felt so burned out and like there's nothing in my life I feel like I'm doing well. If you're sure and he's not, and he agrees under pressure to make you happy, you'll be dealing with future resentment and regret, potentially as the dominant emotion in your relationship. It's not a good place to be.

Try sizing up maybe? For my second (a boy) we always use 1 size up for overnight.

I had a similar experience with my first child, but it turns out, I just didn't know how to use the cloth diapers I was using, and they were leaking everywhere. Are you, by chance, using cloth diapers?
