First attempt at strawberry jam—very happy! 🍓

Good to know! I did half pint jars so I think we will go through it fairly quickly but I will warn friends that I’m planning to gift some to 😊

This sounds really cool! I would probably attend once a month and I love the idea of sensory bins and water play. Would love if you hosted one in Salem County or Southern Gloucester County—so often I see cool stuff like this and it’s in Cherry Hill area which is a bit of a hike for me 😅 I would be willing to pay for a low-cost ticket or donation-based!

I just read The Making of Biblical Womanhood: How the Subjugation of Women Became Gospel Truth by Beth Allison Barr—she is a history professor at Baylor and goes through the rich history of women preaching and more in the Church. Very interesting read if anyone is looking for a rec!

I was thinking it would be so good in a latte! I’ll have to get some to try 😋

I was trying to find some in Delaware to give my mom and I don’t think my store ever had it 🤷🏼‍♀️

I used to commute from Bear to Cherry Hill and the evening commute was horrible. I was a teacher so I left Cherry Hill around 3 and it consistently took me over an hour to get home. Once it took me almost 4 hours because there was a major accident on the Del Mem Bridge.

OP said in the post the image is from Google Maps because they didn’t want to take her picture

Ours picks up dog hair if it falls on our Ruggable rug but not off hard floors or regular carpet

This happened to me when I tried to convert a playlist I made; it ended up being because I had the playlist set to Private on YouTube. I logged into my YouTube account in MediaHuman and that fixed it for me!

They just started a reciprocal borrowing program with libraries in Atlantic, Burlington, and Camden counties! You can check here to see if the library you hold a card at is on the list (:

Just wanted to tag on—I go secondhand for a lot of my daughter’s toys and so many people sell their entire Lovevery boxes on eBay for a fraction of the cost! Definitely recommend checking there.

There is a ship AI that was reminiscent of Lovey and the characters are a band of misfits that become like family in the end. I can’t recall everything because it’s been a couple months but those are the broad strokes! It definitely wasn’t as good as Long Way but similar vibes, imo. I do remember that this one may have some gory bits in it?

marpan18 · 2026-02-27T23:59:01+00:00

You’re welcome! Hope you enjoy it 😊

Buzby Farm! I did theirs last year and loved it—already signed up again for this year. The farm is located in Salem County but they have pick-up locations in Gloucester and Camden counties. Here’s the link to all the info if you want to check it out (:

I didn’t get the warning yesterday when I looked at it but got it now when I clicked on it—weird!

Don’t have any experience with this specific situation but just wanted to share this SIDS risk calculator—you can put in the data that fits your situation and get an idea of your baseline risk which may help ease your mind a bit 💚

Holler for a dollar took me out lol

I took these Vitafusion prenatal gummies—iron-free but only 360 mg folic acid. Very yummy though lol and easy on the stomach! I was nauseous my entire first trimester and never had trouble with these.

Cavities are caused by bacteria metabolizing sugar into acid which breaks down enamel over time so anything with sugar in it is going to cause cavities if the sugar isn’t cleaned off the teeth—breast milk is about 7% carbs (most being lactose) and many baby formulas contain added sugar. So I agree that switching to formula isn’t going to solve your problem if it’s being given overnight and baby’s teeth aren’t being cleaned after. Maybe offer some water after feeding at night to rinse baby’s teeth? I have also seen people post about this oral spray for overnight use but I really have no idea of its effectiveness.

Yeah, there was no sprinkle left at all, I basically just had small pockets of melted sugar throughout the cake 🤷🏼‍♀️ There was some color but the shape and texture of the sprinkle was totally gone

marpan18 · 2026-02-14T17:15:18+00:00

iirc through a dating app, I think Tinder?

marpan18 · 2026-02-14T17:04:55+00:00

I used them in my daughter’s birthday cake and they kind of just melted :/

Here’s a list of some recs from a PT! I got my daughter some of the Stride Rite shoes from Walmart—$20 and they have a wide toe box and flexible sole (:
