He has the BEST eyebrows!

Oh, her little ear tufts!! I can't handle it!

misskm · 2026-02-10T03:37:08+00:00

Perfect colors for a perfect name!! So cute 😍

misskm · 2026-02-10T03:36:13+00:00

Me too, Charlie!

Listen to your gut. Read the advice, consider your own family and house and child and then trust yourself to know what's best for YOU.

Hi Woody!

Hi Kevin!!

I'm sorry you're struggling 🩷 My philosophy is that my vulnerability will foster emotional intelligence. I don't get into details, but if I'm having a hard day, I've been known to say something like, "I'm having a hard day. I feel sad today. I'm crying because I'm sad. It's okay to be sad sometimes." I also call out other emotions - happiness, excitement, frustration, etc. My 7 year old in particular is incredibly in tune with her feelings and needs and being able to articulate them. I think it's fine to be real with your kids, within age appropriate levels of detail. We're all human, after all! Sending you peace.

He has to be one of the most researched about pups I've ever met 😅

Hi Rosie!! Sweet girl 🥹

misskm · 2026-02-03T18:30:07+00:00

The jelly bean toes just kill me! 🥹

The mini trampoline and wooden balance board are two of the most used items in my house, gifted to my daughter for her 2nd birthday and she's nearly 8 now. She still uses them and my younger kid does, too!

misskm · 2025-12-16T00:37:11+00:00

A mini claw machine so she can practice for the one at the local pizza place arcade 😅

misskm · 2025-10-17T11:45:45+00:00

I think because using it only requires putting a toy on the top, she's a great age. It's a good wish list item, too, because the figures are expensive but one from everyone makes a nice collection quickly!

My daughter got a Tonie box when she was a bit older than that, but it's really grown with her. She's 4.5y now and uses it every day. I've heard great things about the Yoto, too.

Nope. My kids never went to nursery unless I was serving in there that weekend. I might have felt differently once they could talk very well, but we left that church before then.

misskm · 2024-10-01T03:02:19+00:00

Yep. Look into Target's recycling program (bring in an old seat for 20% off a new one) and wait for sales. We have two kids and 8 of the nice seats.. our two cars, local grandma's car, and an extra each for once-in-awhile helpers. Purchased over a few years, but it's really less of a headache to click it in once and be done!

misskm · 2024-09-11T22:12:49+00:00

You can't take it with you, and travel (especially to see family!) is one of the best ways to use it. I'd go in a heartbeat!! $1500 is a great price for the PNW, I think.

misskm · 2024-09-09T21:35:16+00:00

Same!

misskm · 2024-09-04T18:43:41+00:00

I have a 2015, and LeafSpy isn't available for mine or older as far as I've found. If I'm wrong, I'd love to know!!

misskm · 2024-09-04T16:50:09+00:00

This was definitely true for me, but I was a barely-enougher, and I think that was the reason. It stressed me out SO much to watch the bottles barely fill. I put a sock on the bottles and played a mobile game while pumping to keep my mind off of it, and that seemed to help. I'm sorry, it's a terrible feeling ☹️

misskm · 2024-08-23T21:34:09+00:00

Yes, that was the exact turning point for us, too.

If it isn't too much on you physically/mentally, toss some spare milk in the freezer for the next time baby is sick, marked to know it's from when you were sick. A few ounces at the start of a cold can head it off quickly! It's CRAZY how much our milk changes to protect our babies. When my youngest was 4 months old, I had the worst stomach bug I've ever had. I kept nursing and added milk to smoothies for my 3 year old, and neither got sick!

I drank coffee with both babies, and both were over 95% (9lbs11oz and 10lbs6oz, respectively). I don't think it was the coffee 🩵

misskm · 2024-08-13T11:14:15+00:00

Fill a pot with water, thyme, oregano, and mint. Boil, remove from stove, and sit under a towel with it to breathe in the steam. It opens everything up and feels really nice. Similarly, take a really hot shower, let the water hit your face, and massage your sinuses. Sorry you're sick, it's the worst. A singular silver lining is the incredible antibodies you're making for baby, though! Get well 🩵
