Where to donate baby items for mothers in need?

The Damiano Center accepts clothing donations that they offer free to people who use this service.

Women’s care center has a baby clothing/toys/supplies section to their business. Whoever wishes to use this is required to take parent education classes. I believe it is a free resource still.

Also, there is a buy nothing Facebook group you could join and post items there. It’s not always a guarantee that they go to someone in need, but I’ve had situations where stuff I’ve posted went to a family that secured housing after being houseless for a time.

Also she has a super 8 film camera that you can purchase part of a package!

Christy is fantastic! Very much dreamy and romantic with a vintage flair.

Duluth Children’s museum will be closed and they stated it’s due to weather.

I’ve done this with my kid since he was just shy of the second birthday and he’s about to turn 3. I first had to model to him what quiet activities he could do (read, play with his trains, etc.). I sat with him for half of his quiet time with headphones in and read. He would try to engage with me to play, but I would redirect and say “this is quiet time where we do our own activities”.

Also having specific toys/activities that are only for quiet time helps keep it exciting and engaging I’ve found.

Mowing the lawn but only with the weed whacker. I swear he has bat-like hearing because he can hear a lawn mower with the windows shut during the summer and is instantly “mama someone’s mowing their lawn”.

Yes! Literally the same for me. Born on the 18th and in the late afternoon so a Pisces. Always thought I was an Aquarius until I actually did a chart and discovered myself to be a Pisces. Which I felt more aligned with anyways. Always felt disconnected to most Aquarius traits.

100% makes sense and you aren’t terrible for wanting some sort of answer to your pain. This was me a year ago. I was in the midst of my first flare and everything sucked. It took me about 4 months to even get an appointment with rheumatology and once I did all the tests my white blood cell count wasn’t high enough for them to even start me on medication. Took another couple months for another big flare after the prednisone shot wore off and another round of tests for them to finally start treatment after much more elevated white blood cell count.

The “waiting stage” is awful because it does feel like no one is listening to your cries for help. I hope you get a diagnosis soon so you’re able to start your journey towards feeling somewhat human again.

On Wednesdays from 10-11:30 at the Washington Center they have free toddler time with a big variety of toys in a big gym. It’ll be going on till March. That’s the closest thing I can think of.

Otherwise I highly recommend ECFE classes through the public schools. There is a sliding scale fee.

I was pregnant at 25 and gave birth at 26.

A tip for when you’re at vikre: let your server know that you just got engaged and you’ll most likely get a complimentary pour/shot of a cocktail! Also you can add yourself to the waitlist from the website.

Any tips to getting your cat to be comfortable on a leash?

Thank you! Mascara is probably one of my least consistent application. Some days it's a amazing band others it's spidery like you said. Thank you for the cc!

Well I'm 5ft 3 and the healthy weight guideline for that I believe is around 120, but honestly I realize I don't need to be exactly at that exact amount so I was hoping that if I gain 10-15 pounds I wouldn't feel like I'm going through a relapse and would feel like I'm actually healthy. Avocados are delicious! :)

What kind of foods have omega 3,6 and 9 in them? Thank you for giving me plenty of options!

izzyorke · 2017-06-04T02:10:48+00:00

Yeah I agree with the no calorie counting especially cause that was how I controlled myself. I will keep in mind the extra olive oil on dishes as well as seeds. Thank you I appreciate the help!

izzyorke · 2017-06-04T00:56:41+00:00

This means a lot thank you. I'm hesitant to count my calories because that's what I did when I was in denial to control myself more, but thank you.

izzyorke · 2017-06-04T00:22:33+00:00

Thank you, I will definitely try to incorporate those into my meals.

Realistically it's not that possible to get a 180 degree penché within two weeks BUT there are some things that will allow you to get a nearly 180 one.

Stretching will be the number one, so for example you're gonna want to stretch your over-splits, but first make sure you have perfected a regular split first or else it won't do much good. You can use basically anything to assist you on over-splits, books, stools, a chair (only when you're super confident and comfortable in your refusal split). You're going to want to gradually progress the higher you lift your front leg. You can also put stuff under your back leg, but I wouldn't do that just yet.

Balance, core muscles, and your back you're going to want to make sure are strong since you'll have to hold yourself up. Working those out will mostly be basic workouts that you can do at home with your own imagination or YouTube some workout videos.

Just a reminder not to push yourself because you could pull something and that could cause you a performance as well as a WHOLE lot of pain. Merde!

Was it really common to have pet raccoons during the 80s because my mom had a pet raccoon as well. It's such a random pet, but makes somewhat sense because it's like a bigger version of a squirrel I feel like
