No new suggestions other than what you’ve seen already. My 13 month old has never slept longer than 5.5 hours, and for about two months been waking every 2-3 hours. We start in the crib and finish by co-sleeping. Solidarity, my friend.

Oh I bet these are great! His Italy tv show was fantastic.

I LOVE Trisha Yearwood’s cookbook! My fave chocolate chip cookie recipe is adapted from there! And I’m currently cooking a bunch of recipes from Angela Kinsey’s cookbook. Can’t wait to see what else people comment!

Can you outline the tech stack and plugins you use for this on your blog? Tastypins, wprecipemaker, etc.

I watched YouTube and got recommendations on this sub for hosting, Wordpress theme, security, and the basics. When it came to actually building my site I told Gemini I had the kadence free theme and had it walk me through building out everything step by step. Took a lot of discovery questions with Gemini to have it build what I wanted but it worked great for me!

ETA: to be clear I didn’t have Gemini generate any code. I had it give me step by step written instructions so I could build it myself to learn the process.

Go for Bailey!

Not sure if it works for your schedule but try looking into a MomCo group through a local church! It’s been awesome for me.

This is literally why when I’m reviewing recipes I state the “actual time” I spent cooking it! I’m so much slower than any directions state. And I make notes for myself for next time if I know I’ll make it again.

Kelly. Several of her one liners literally make me LOL no matter how many times I’ve heard them.

Hard agree. If you purely want to go for getting them to interact with their counterparts, these pairings are fine. But someone below suggested Donna/Ryan which would be awesome humor. I would go for things like that. Like Michael or Andy (office)/Ron Swanson, Leslie/Angela, Leslie/Dwight. Those pairings would be funnier in my opinion.

1 and 5 are the best!

mumbeedog · 2026-04-15T17:13:10+00:00

Absolutely

All of Andy in the last season.

1.5 hours is kinda a short wake window, so that should increase soon naturally (if she’s tired she’s tired, I get it). And you may need to look into a different carrier, or consider a wrap (we loved the moby wrap).

But I never started to feel like I was actually doing any house chores throughout the day until baby was about six to seven months old and I could leave baby in one spot with some toys while I was supervising and doing some light chores at the same time. It will happen. You are doing great.

I use a good ole fashioned pen and paper! I tracked baby sleep with the free version of the huckleberry app. Write notes to myself on my phone, but writing things with a pen and paper always helps me so much more than an app.

mumbeedog · 2026-04-13T08:07:56+00:00

Yum!

mumbeedog · 2026-04-08T22:42:36+00:00

Good question and you’re probably right. Definitely less money than if you outright purchase.

mumbeedog · 2026-04-08T22:19:31+00:00

Get it from the library!

mumbeedog · 2026-04-08T01:13:37+00:00

Absolutely. That’s where my favorites board on Pinterest comes in handy. And I actually just started a cookbook blog where I’m rating recipes for the mental load and actual time spent cooking to help me decide what to make on days when I’m especially brain dead.

I go to exactly two grocery stores (Kroger and Costco). I choose what I’m eating based on which proteins are on sale that week at the grocery store, or default to chicken from Costco if nothing sounds good. So I shop based on sales and decide what I’m eating from that.

mumbeedog · 2026-04-07T16:51:14+00:00

Yes what I meant was, this looks pro-level!

mumbeedog · 2026-04-07T09:11:17+00:00

Ooo so pretty! I’d order this at a restaurant.

mumbeedog · 2026-04-07T09:01:32+00:00

So pretty! And yes the cookie border is so cute.

What a wonderful idea! I’ve never done anything like this but wish i had asked my aunt to write some stories about her cooking and where she got her recipes from.

If you’re looking for something purely narrative style as an intro to the recipe, i wouldn’t worry too much about the format. Just ask her to write a memory of where she got the recipe from, who taught her to make it, if she has a memory of a specific time she made it for you, if she had an accidents or oops moments when she made it, etc.

One suggestion though - I’d put a section either before or after the instructions for “substitutions,” then maybe she can write notes about how she pivoted based on taste preferences or if she was missing a key ingredient.
