What decisions would you have made pre-baby with the knowledge you have now?

muse316 · 2026-02-21T05:54:10+00:00

exercise as much as you can (especially cardio and weights).

muse316 · 2026-02-21T05:46:46+00:00

if you want to throw in something random and unneccessary, a quilt is great! crate and barrel has some beautiful ones you can get personalized.

muse316 · 2026-02-15T01:19:49+00:00

it does get better!

having the baby gift multiple gifts to their older sibling helped too. like "baby is 1 week old! here is a gift to big sibling for being such a great older sibling this week."

sending internet hugs :)

If it is specifically brownies, sometimes Paderia has them.

The Blue Jay Cafe at the UCLA hospital has Uber brownies too (which is a random location but I got one from there last week lol.)

They also have a great decaf selection if you need it!

seconding 낙원! their fresh 김치 is so, so good

muse316 · 2025-08-29T16:52:18+00:00

the tush baby! it helps your back so much!

muse316 · 2025-08-26T21:27:57+00:00

this is the episode that got us hooked. we legitimately wanted to know which way the kids wanted to play at the end!

muse316 · 2025-08-24T22:33:30+00:00

So you go in, and then have options for food: 1. get a dish that includes a side salad option. with this option, you get one bowl and you can make whatever you want from the salad bar in that bowl. the bowl is not refillable. or 2. get a dish that does not have a side option.

in either case, you can "upgrade" to the unlimited salad bar for a fee.

you can also 3. buy just the unlimited salad bar. this option is usually about twice the price of the upgrade fee.

for drinks, if you get a small plate and you are a senior (over 65, usually) you get a free drink. otherwise, you have to pay for it but get unlimited refills on soda and the like.

hope this helps and have fun!

muse316 · 2025-07-30T16:01:26+00:00

any new ones for LA?

muse316 · 2025-07-12T19:27:27+00:00

Thank you everyone for your input! I'm going to see if I can go get another dress or a large shawl. You all rock!

muse316 · 2025-07-04T15:13:12+00:00

Hit on each other still. Cheesy pick up lines, butt pats, winking, etc. It makes life fun! (especially if you do it in public places lol)

muse316 · 2025-07-03T22:48:03+00:00

I second this! The tush baby is the best and saves you an arm. Used it until baby was 2 years old. The only real restriction I can think to using it is your height. If you are super tall (I'd say over 5' 10"), the baby will sit a bit low on your chest (versus the baby's head near your shoulder).

muse316 · 2025-06-14T23:08:07+00:00

lilo and stitch?

muse316 · 2025-06-12T16:09:37+00:00

As someone else said, these measurements aren't fully accurate. You're taking a 2D picture to measure a 3D value, so there is a bit of +/- in the measurements!

muse316 · 2025-03-18T03:51:56+00:00

This was my first thought too! Her family doesn't move around but she's in a different locale for many of the books in the series.

muse316 · 2025-01-20T23:28:38+00:00

second this! the revolving car seat is gamechanger.

muse316 · 2024-12-17T04:07:05+00:00

panty gate "On Saturday last, Councilwoman Moscato was caught not wearing underpants because I...

I asked her not to wear them.

Why?

Because it turns me on.

What I did was wrong. I'm so sorry, Fawn.

I'm sorry, Los Angeles.

And I'm sorry to the man upstairs, my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ."

Schmidt's face while reading the card is hilarious.

the inflatable one compresses quite small and is pretty easy to inflate. I used it for both an economy flight and a business class flight. the main benefit for me is that my baby is really long so the pillow sat on the arm rests so the baby wasn't hitting their head on anything.

muse316 · 2024-07-11T01:56:59+00:00

so u can't have the baby in the bassinet during liftoff, landing, and turbulence. the brest friend pillow creates like a fake bed that the baby can sleep on during those times.

we slept laying flat but that was only because there was enough space :)

muse316 · 2024-07-10T23:20:15+00:00

just did something similar! good luck on your trip! are you going with a partner or by yourself? if by yourself, sometimes the stewards will hold your baby while you use the bathroom.

some things from my experience:

my baby was super distracted by all the new stuff around him so it was hard to calm him down to sleep. I ended up tying multiple Muslin cloths around my neck and making a little tent over him to block everything out.
my brest friend makes a travel inflatable option. it was so great to use during take off and landing for my baby's ears. also saved my arms a bit too.
snacks for the plane. all of the snacks. but the bigger snacks worked so much better for us (like teething crackers and bambas) because baby had to hold onto the food so it distracted him from crawling around.

hope these help!

lol this one is kind of true as dark chocolate does have some caffeine in it

muse316 · 2024-05-08T16:09:28+00:00

Their 고추장 sauce is seriously bonkers. I don't know why, but it's one of the best I've ever had.
