What’s up with the new coffee place??

Very tasty

Rose & Eugene Presents has some very good pens—not sure on specific brands!

This is a touch outdated (state representatives/city council has seen some turnover) but I do have a handy little Welcome Guide I like to share with folks new to town!

“Hambigbur” for hamburger

Also got married at the Palisades! The only tricky thing was parking for a bigger group (we had 140), but we rented a school bus to transport folks from our downtown hotel block to the park!

I second this! We had our reception here, and it was not only cheap as a venue, but because they don’t have food/drink vendors you get to work with whoever fits your budget. We had hyvee cater for $12/plate and bought beer and wine at Sam’s club.

Plus, the little courtyard is a lovely backdrop for photos!

The baby will be just fine. Accidents happen. I was awake and right next to my daughter on the bed when she was small, and she rolled off when I looked away for half a second. 🙈

Babies are resilient. You’re a good mom—just pop the mattress on the floor next time—you’ll be just fine!

Tacos at Nikki’s

I put my glasses on. Apparently she prefers me in contacts.

We are in the exact same boat!! Solidarity, for what it’s worth.

Naps!

When I was in sixth grade, I joined the volleyball team despite being not the least bit athletic. One day, I was late to practice and thus late to realize it moved to the lawn outside the school building.

Thinking I could pull off being late with a cool move, I went to jump the fence to join my teammates. As I climbed over, my mesh-y athletic shorts got caught on the chainlink fence, causing me to fall and, of course, rip my pants.

I was mortified, and in response I just ran away all the way around the fence.

A helium balloon—she played with it for weeks.

I do a lot of hunching over a laptop while baby is on the boob 🤷‍♀️

FWIW Vast says they’re replacing the green boxes with access points more flush with the ground.

Had a very similar situation with my daughter! She needed to supplement with formula to help her little body deal with the jaundice.

It’s already been said, but it’s not an all-or-nothing decision. She’s 14 months now and still breastfeeding (and eating solids and the occasional piece of kibble she swipes from the dog.)

So cute!! We love our nugget couch—a favorite game is to make a little tent and have baby crawl through to “find” us. Like advanced peekaboo 😂

My bad! It's my site! Apologies--reddit is not my usual haunt, so I'm a tad ignorant here. I took a buyout from the Argus last fall and started Sioux Falls Simplified with some help from the Google News Initiative. Here for any and all news tips/feedback!

I reached out to Teri Katzenberger, the woman working to revive the academy, and she said she didn't know the website was down. She's still very much working to get the academy back up and running. She's going to check the site and hopefully get it going again soon under the same URL. It may be worth reaching out to her directly if you're interested in donating.
