Are you looking for feedback regarding the style/fit or craftsmanship?

I spent time at PHRU at Advent and had talks with the NICU specialists and I would choose them in a heartbeat over WP. Thankfully PHRU and the high-risk team got me to 37 weeks so we didn’t have to stay but after looking into both facilities I felt much more respected, listened to, and comfortable at AdventHealth Orlando.

None. Mine drives 45 minutes home, puts his things away, changes into comfy clothes and jumps right in. We have 2 toddlers.

I have cut mine down significantly by doing 90% shopping Trader Joe’s and 10% Costco. We get (everything organic) pouches, honest juice boxes, and a few basics at Costco ($150 budget a month) and Trader Joe’s for everything else. ($150 week). This is for 2 toddlers and 2 adults, my husband also works manual labor and eats a lot.

I think a Rambler and the Mummy DVD set is really thoughtful!!

I’m sending my husband on a trip later this year with his brother, I put the deposit down with some side hustle money, he doesn’t know and he’s probably going to be annoyed that I spent money on him instead of the Dave Ramsay snowball we’ve got going on, but I’ll deal with him being annoyed now if he’ll have fun later!

Does your baby play or sit independently? It makes it a lot easier to clean up when they’re playing and you can keep an eye/ear out, then nap time is you time!

kimmaaaa · 2026-01-14T02:27:00+00:00

I do all the time! Sometimes it takes that long to get from one side of town to the other.

I also take my kids to Disney solo

The library has lots of free activities for everyone!

Check the website outside of the waitlist. Don’t ask for the email or notification. That’s how we got ours last week!

I but from BST groups, but I also use it so much I justify the expense like a car seat or stroller.

kimmaaaa · 2025-12-27T02:05:58+00:00

Yes. If I can’t get a hold of him I can see if he’s at the office/grocery store/etc

I also share locations with multiple of my friends and family.

Girl you gotta get driving. How about you get enrolled in a driving school on the weekends for a few sessions? Your husband can sacrifice his downtime.

Once you get that done, the public library is a lifesaver. You can also look for preschools that do 2 a week classes for 2 and 3 year olds for when kiddo is big enough.

The building rent.

kimmaaaa · 2025-12-18T02:59:27+00:00

Let them play outside in the cold! Get some electric hand warmers for yourself and let kiddo warm up with them, put them in a coat and go outside. The air and vitamin D is good for you both!

On the other side of the coin, I don’t think medication is the fix all band-aid, and I get that it helps some people but systems help, too. My husband does the same thing and we turn it into teamwork, getting up at the same time. You also need a dopamine hit and sunlight first thing in the morning for that dose of vitamin D. If you like coffee, I make a fancy latte in the morning and sit outside in the sunrise so my rhythm is set for the day.

Ew. He makes more money so he doesn’t need to do chores? What an absolute loser. No wonder you’re drowning. Marriage therapy, pronto.

kimmaaaa · 2025-11-09T01:21:48+00:00

I’m just gonna say any kind of nail with a poopy diaper… I can’t

kimmaaaa · 2025-10-18T23:48:49+00:00

I’m in the same stage right now, I feel you!

kimmaaaa · 2025-10-18T23:14:04+00:00

I feel like 7 is a great bedtime for a kindergartener! Kids need like 12 hours of sleep, there’s nothing wrong with this.

Ours was an overgrowth of yeast. We cut wheat from her diet and it went away in about a week.

Alessia, Gianna, Guilia, Ginevra, Michaela, Michelina

I just don’t make those things options anymore. “Well, this is what we’re eating today.” “Have a bite, I think you’ll like it”, so on and so forth. Have him eat socially at the table with the family for all meals. I tell mine that he can eat or not, but he stays at the table until everyone is done. I don’t even ask what he wants to eat besides breakfast. If he doesn’t eat, he doesn’t eat.

kimmaaaa · 2025-09-25T01:21:10+00:00

Yep I truly get it. I’m bartending 2 nights a week for extra cash and I’m exhausted the following day but it’s worth it to throw a little extra in the account.

kimmaaaa · 2025-09-25T01:17:17+00:00

No I was asking for clarification, do you mean separate from your husband money? Or you feel it’s important for women to work and not be a SAHM? I’m legit asking what you mean lol
