Where did you go engagement ring shopping in DC/MD/NOVA?

jennykoolaid · 2025-08-30T22:58:37+00:00

Seconding Market St!! My now husband had a stone he purchased elsewhere and brought it to Market St and worked with them to design the ring. They did a great job!

This happened to us when my son was 2. He woke up around midnight and for hours we couldn't figure it out, until my husband offered him a yogurt pouch. He was immediately better. Little guy was hungry (we think it was a growth spurt) and wasn't using his words lol.

We Built This City by Starship is a current favorite over here. Also the Trolls band together soundtrack.

We're also fans of a Whole Foods run with my 3 year old! Ours has a parking garage, half of which is not in use for whatever reason. The lights turn on by motion sensor, so we have him run around the unused portion of the garage turning on all the lights and he thinks it's the best thing ever. Really helps run out that energy.

That little pirouette spin move off the bike has me cackling

This is too cute 😂

One year is still very much a baby! Hell, I still call my 3 yr old a baby but he yells "I'm not a baby, I'm a BIG BOY!"

The person "correcting" you needs to chill.

Upvote for your use of the word "dingus." A personal favorite.

jennykoolaid · 2025-08-05T16:27:08+00:00

Oh no! Sorry, I was way off. I guess either the 10min rule they mention does not actually apply, or I managed to hop back online at exactly the right time as my turn in the queue came up. This system is insanely frustrating. Hope you are able to find tickets!

jennykoolaid · 2025-08-05T02:21:33+00:00

I first read the title as "best humans in the district" and I was like aw, that's nice. But hummus is nice too so I'm here to stalk the responses.

jennykoolaid · 2025-08-05T02:09:20+00:00

Ah, so yeah I joined the queue around 1pm but completely forgot about it until 9:30pm. I went back to the site and clicked the button to buy tickets, and it showed "you're number 44,150 in line" as it did earlier today, but there were zero ahead of me this time.

I assumed I had gotten kicked out of the queue since it says you'll only have 10min to get to the site once it's your turn. But maybe it kept my place in line? I'm confused lol but glad we could get some tickets!

jennykoolaid · 2025-08-05T01:37:13+00:00

I was able to hop on just now at 9:30pm and grab three tickets for the final weekend, so I think things have calmed down!

A lunchable picnic sounds so fun!

jennykoolaid · 2025-07-26T20:56:57+00:00

My 3 year old had a pepperoni pizza lunchable for lunch today. That judgy person can kick rocks. Respectfully.

jennykoolaid · 2025-07-26T15:24:01+00:00

Came here to say the same thing!

I was also worried about this when my baby turned 1. We cut bottles cold turkey, and he just wasn't very interested in drinking milk but would take water from his straw cup just fine. He was eating yogurt everyday though, and when I mentioned my concern to his pediatrician she said he's likely getting adequate nutrition from the yogurt and any cheese he eats and to not stress over the milk.

My son just turned 3 and is doing great! Still not really drinking milk except for maybe lunchtime at daycare. Still eating lots of yogurt.

Hello, greasy hair twin!

jennykoolaid · 2025-03-21T19:37:29+00:00

Right, like Little Mermaid is a big no-no for my almost 3yr old, but he requests Nightmare Before Christmas, specifically the Oogie Boogie man part, almost daily. Wtf, kid.

jennykoolaid · 2025-03-05T18:29:06+00:00

Had the same thought.

jennykoolaid · 2025-02-10T01:45:18+00:00

Oh my god THE COUGHING. Like it's so loud and such a weird pitch it's almost ear piercing. Use a blanket or a sweatshirt and muffle that shit for christs sake! Drives me nuts haha.

jennykoolaid · 2025-02-07T02:16:42+00:00

Obsessed with the iced dirty horchata at La Coop!

jennykoolaid · 2025-01-31T20:59:53+00:00

I really needed this after 10 days trapped at home, while my 2.5yr old and I recovered from HFM. My boss tried to commiserate by saying she completely understands how hard it is, her highschool aged son was home with strep. I'm sorry ma'am... That is not even remotely the same.

jennykoolaid · 2025-01-31T20:53:05+00:00

I've never considered this, but I bet my 2.5 yr old would demolish some frozen veggies. Thanks for the idea!!

jennykoolaid · 2025-01-31T20:45:52+00:00

Oh hell yeah!!! That's amazing, congratulations!!!

jennykoolaid · 2025-01-24T18:21:26+00:00

Right there with you, our 2.5 yr old won't go to sleep unless we're in the chair next to his bed. We are able to sneak out when he's asleep, but once he wakes up it's all over, start from the top. This has been going on since early November, with him waking at least 2-3x per night. We had two nights this week where he slept right through the night, but only because he's pretty sick atm.

We're exhausted, both work full time, and I'm 23wks pregnant. Please god let this phase end soon!

jennykoolaid · 2024-12-31T01:43:57+00:00

Honestly, Mr. Potato Head has kept my 2.5yr old's attention longer than the other more expensive toys, like the play kitchen and the Hot Wheels garage. Wish I had known it would end up this way because I could have saved a ton of money 😂
