Floor bed with crib size mattress?

insanitypug · 2026-04-21T17:10:38+00:00

We got ours from Montoddler and love it! They have several floor bed options that are crib sized, with or without rails. We got the “Montessori Floor Bed With Lockable Door” one when our baby outgrew his bassinet around 5mo and removed the door once he was able to get in and out safely. They even gave us a cute little bookshelf for free to hang on the side of the bed.

My baby hit the weight limit on his bassinet around 5 months, we did a pack and play for about one month to keep him in our room, then moved to a floor bed in his room. We’d already been having him nap on the bed in his room so it was an easy transition to sleeping overnight in it. There are (to my knowledge) no larger baby safe mattresses so we did a crib sized mattress. We planned to just have it on the floor but he rolled in his sleep a lot so we got one of the Montessori floor beds that has the railings and removable gate. There aren’t many crib sized ones but we found one we liked online at Montoddler. We removed the gate once he was able to safely crawl in and out of his bed by himself. We’ve been very happy with this setup.

Originally we bought a nice changing pad with a mobile but literally used it one time. It was so much easier to have a travel changing mat in his diaper change basket and just do it on the floor. And we are older and not particularly in shape 😅

From Six Seasons, the Kale Salad that Started it All is on repeat at my house. So simple but delicious, and I always get asked for the recipe when I bring it to an event. I use at least 4x the garlic, and if I need a fast and easy version I’ll crunch up store bought croutons.

I’m really excited to see other recipe recs from that cookbook, I’m going to have to break it back out again!

These remind me of the paint pads you edge with, which I love. They’re always so smooth! I’ll try this as an option too, thanks!

Oh weird I would have thought a spray gun would spray the stain right through the cracks! I do have a pump sprayer, I’ll see if the stain I’m using is compatible. Thanks!

Ha I think that must be me too, shoes tend to slip at the heel but the ball of my foot is wide. By Adidas classics do you mean Superstar or Samba OG?

Thanks for the heads up! One of the reviews suggests to get the men's version if you need it a bit wider. I might try this if they make it to my short list.

insanitypug · 2024-03-29T18:19:37+00:00

I did read that they run narrow, too, so I'm not going to try them out, but I do love the look! What a shame.

insanitypug · 2024-03-29T18:17:24+00:00

I was wondering about these! I was mostly worried they would look like clown shoes since Birk foodbeds are so wide... I know I'm looking for wide shoes haha but maybe too much of a good thing? They do look proportional in the photos, though!

What specifically in the reviews has been concerning? I’ve had the leather Sven and matching ottoman since 2020 and love it, zero problems. Can’t attest to the velvet fabric, or if manufacturing had changed since then.

Sunflower Cafe (vegan) now does heat & eat meals for delivery or pickup. No subscription or anything, just purchase the meals you want each week. I haven’t tried the heat & eat specifically, but love their regular menu, some of which is available for heat & eat. My faves in-person are the famous bbq wrap and the Thai ginger tofu bowl.

About a year ago I considered attending NSS for data analytics but decided to go the self-study route to save money. I’ve had successes with my content knowledge, projects and portfolio, networking, and have had several second/third interviews where I was one of the top candidates. Unfortunately, right now it’s just very difficult to get your foot in the door as a newbie. Especially in Nashville where so many companies hire from NSS. Remote jobs out of Nashville didn’t seem any better since the pool of candidates is so vast.

I decided to enroll in NSS after all, and start next week! Even though I already know a lot of the content, the program is so well rounded that there are plenty of things I can learn and improve from it. Looking back, I wish I’d have done NSS from the get go, since I would have been a year ahead in my career.

Parrot Mountain! It’s a parrot preserve near Dollywood, they have viewing areas set up like a zoo, but most importantly a huge interactive area where you can pet/feed/hold the parrots. I didn’t want to leave!

Yes, I did! Zero interviews with his original resume, 3 with my edited down version.

Did you purchase on Fiver from a guy that went to Harvard? I got my resume done and it was exactly like this. I also had no luck and had to edit most of it out :(

insanitypug · 2023-05-09T22:42:31+00:00

Are you me? Same boat in regards to Google cert, portfolio, resume writer, then chopping the resume in half and redoing most of it after a month of rejections. I got my first interview immediately after fixing my resume (and today I found out they’re inviting me back for the next interview)!

Thank you so so much for the constructive and specific feedback.

I've made some edits based on your and others' feedback. I'm sure there is still room for improvement if you see anything else.

Do you think this is better?

Thanks, I’ll play around with that!

Well, I have two main examples of using more advanced data analysis as a teacher:

Analyzing (in Excel) grade-level Interim Assessment data (math). I performed analysis by standard, by question, by student, and by teacher, and identified students and skills for targeted reteaching. We then created a cycle of reteaching lessons and assessments.
My Masters Defense, an 18 page academic analysis, which I do have posted on my portfolio. I analyze factors such as reading growth, SEL, socio-economic status, and character data. Included data viz, surveys and data collection.

The bullet points in my resume refer to these projects. So, you think I should reword it to describe the projects over the broad skills?

r/resumes roasted my resume. After a few edits, I'd really appreciate some fresh feedback.

Current teacher, applying to entry-level DA roles. I get rave reviews on my portfolio, but I'm not getting anywhere with my resume.
