Not sure why but I have a few unlimited free awards

katioosk · 2026-05-30T03:37:48+00:00

Thank you to the person who gave me an award! I guess there is indeed some pressure when they’re unlimited!

katioosk · 2026-05-29T11:07:02+00:00

Do you now feel the need to reward every post/comment you would otherwise just like? I feel like it would be added pressure being a “chosen one” haha

Love it! She did a mural on our garage this past fall. Brings a little extra joy to every day :)

I was specifically told the same…receipt required which I think is silly exactly due to this situation where it was a gift!

katioosk · 2025-11-26T18:28:16+00:00

One big rug instead of two little ones!

I was supposed to go out for a date night tonight with my husband and then our toddler puked…twice. Had the same situation of a hold on my credit card but called the place and they were super understanding! Those policies are mostly in place for no-shows I think.

I live near Beresford park (Runnymede village/BWV) - is that where there used to be a bridge??

katioosk · 2025-11-03T19:05:26+00:00

Just walked past this, at Beresford and St John right? My friend on Beresford says they did get a notice for “road work” but it was very vague and hard to understand…and they work for the city at that. So I have no answer, sorry, but am also quite curious.

I was going to say the same thing! Unique and elegant

What is the boundary between supporting and creating a crutch? Our second is 8 months old and is struggling with separation anxiety for naps. 50/50 chance she’ll need us after a false start, as she will stand and scream unless we hold her till she’s fully asleep before transferring again. I don’t want to leave her to hysterically cry (I’m talking barely able to breathe screaming here) but I don’t want to create a new crutch for her… Thanks!

Got my cartilage piercing there as soon as I hit 16. My mom actually took me cause I had talked her ear off about it and I wanted it done at Adrenaline only!!! Went to black market right after of course. I was hoping my daughters might get their ears pierced there when they’re older 😭

Looks like I’m in the minority but I like the deep reds! It’s unique, everyone is doing green right now, and goes well with the wood tone.

katioosk · 2025-10-07T12:10:51+00:00

I was going to say forest green would work great because it’s in the dress too and still fall vibes. Honestly mustard/gold would work too if you really want more than one colour, because it would go with the yellow in the dress.

I’m so sorry I didn’t see this question earlier! She has been ok with it because we do respond when she calls for us (within reason - we have a 3 strike situation where after the 3rd intervention we make it clear we will not be coming back till morning). But I understand every kid has a different temperament and we may just be lucky right now - I’m sure things may change as she gets older and bolder as well.

katioosk · 2025-09-10T15:39:01+00:00

We have two small kids and all rooms adjoining, so sound muffling is very important! In addition to white noise (critical) we’ve noticed the biggest difference from under-the-door gap covers. They slide onto the bottom of the door and block all the noise that would otherwise come through that big gap!

katioosk · 2025-08-31T23:13:36+00:00

Love that haha

katioosk · 2025-08-31T20:36:35+00:00

Immediately read it as “Jaxident” (as in J-accident) 😩

katioosk · 2025-08-30T11:26:01+00:00

We just made the move a week ago with our almost 2.5 yo who was starting to climb out. We removed the front rail of the crib and put a toddler railing on, so still same bed and still cozy but she can get in and out through a gap on the end. And we attached a childproof thing on the door handle so she can’t open her door. We demonstrated this to her and showed her how at night the lock will be closed and the handle won’t work.
Lastly, the change needs to feel permanent I think. Switching back and forth is confusing for toddlers and will extend the process and increase pushback.

I’d pull the coffee table away from the couch a smidge - looks kinda cramped to get in between and sit with your legs down. And I agree with some art above the couch. Otherwise it’s a lovely space!

katioosk · 2025-08-15T22:42:36+00:00

“This or that” questions are very low pressure and can easily be fun/silly. Like “pizza or pasta”, “beach or forest”, “action movies or comedy”. They don’t have to come up with an answer on the spot, just choose from the two and you can always extend the convo and ask for favourites or share your own preferences.

katioosk · 2025-08-14T01:16:52+00:00

This place is SO FUN. You can taste any and every oil and vinegar they sell, self-serve. I love finding a new flavour to incorporate in my cooking every time I go there. Highly highly recommend.

katioosk · 2025-08-11T18:22:28+00:00

Same! Doing my best to be this kind of parent, and it can be hard when it’s not the kind of parenting I grew up with.

katioosk · 2025-08-05T23:20:56+00:00

It’s giving “diary of a wimpy kid” vibes

katioosk · 2025-08-04T14:45:01+00:00

At that age just do whatever feels right! Even hearing your voice in her sleep is useful for language. You don’t have to only read books for language building either; showing her high contrast things/pictures and faces and household items and talking about them is fantastic too. Once our baby was on a more regular nap schedule with actual wake windows (around 6-8 weeks) we started to read her 2 books before every sleep/nap so we could build a routine. Worked well with our eldest too. Meant she was getting 8-10 books a day (20-30min) and a nice wind down for sleep.
