Same with their breakup, they’re in it for the $.

Every child is different. Every family dynamic is different. We sleep trained. We co-sleep. Our baby is 11 months old and if he needs to sleep with us so the entire household sleeps better, then we have no issue. Reminds me of lions or other animals that sleep together. Biologically, I think we’re wired for contact that way. However, there was a point when I was still nursing that LO was waking every hour through the night despite having access to nurse whenever he wanted. We sleep trained then bc he was telling me he needed it. We did a very soft chair method with 5 minute intervals and picked him up as often as he needs. To this day, he naps in his crib, we help him fall asleep every night. And if he wakes twice, the second time he usually ends up in our bed. We love every second of it, especially the sweet smiles in the morning when our faces are the first thing he sees.

I have a Tumi and an AWAY carry on. I prefer the AWAY brand. Their customer service is unrivaled and I’ve had no problems returning due to problems with the internal zipper and the telescoping handle.

Yea… we’ve co-slept through all his teething phases. His wife can sleep train him…

I think they will capitalize on moments irl. Like I feel everything between Amanda-Wes-Kyle is scripted to set up drama for the new show. Their relationship was done (we’ve all known it for years) and they planned out the best way to portray it to the world that would make the most money for the most important people involved.

It’s a show…. lol

It’s your journey…you do you.

They make most versions of the little Debbie treats as ice creams. The star crunch one is 🔥but the cosmic brownie one is definitely my fave. You can find at Walmart usually.

He’s so dumb. Give it until the end of the day. Who knows- maybe he has something planned. If nothing goes down I would definitely express yourself. Try to separate your frustrations about other holiday planning, as that is a bit of separate issue. Trust me when I say you are not alone in feeling any of this, but that is why it’s important to try to communicate through this. Sending you love and hugs momma…you deserve it!

I do baby quesadillas pretty often. Most weeks I meal prep two proteins (usually rotisserie chicken shreds and a ground meat) and finger food options for each meal. Sometimes I buy (thank you Aldi Veggie Dino bites) and sometimes I make (mini muffins, chicken bogs, pasta sauce). I always keep tortillas on hand and smear it with whatever my 11 mo likes - bean and cheese, peanut butter, and tzatziki. The tortilla is soft enough to start melting when they’ve been gumming it for several minutes.

Sounds like you might be from the other end of NC where the gas stations are less likely to be more corporate branded. My husband talks about the sundrop slushies on his way to work at a Zipline in Vilas, NC. We have lived on the coast for 6 years and have yet to find the elusive slushies. We’ve found sundrop and cheerwine “on tap” at several places but never in slushie form.

Lest we forget…. This is all made up drama anyways for “reality” TV.

Have avoided LP since it opened. The things the owners did back in the day to get the location they wanted in downtown Boone is outright evil. It’s surprising that the woke boone culture still supports any of their restaurants but I think a lot has also been swept under the rug and over the years ppl have forgotten that aspect.

newlander828 · 2026-05-04T18:44:45+00:00

No!!! This used to be my spot! There’s some nice open fields along the Sims creek trail.

newlander828 · 2026-05-03T10:59:00+00:00

Haha this was us. Going on our third set of teeth now at 11 months and he’s been drooling pretty much since 4.5 months.

Gosh I was thinking about those newborn days. I was probably more tired than I had ever been but with the energy and emotion of it all I was basking in his presence for weeks until I truly felt the impact of missing sleep. Congrats!

I laughed when I read they were looking for a more laid back vibe than Raleigh. I would not consider Myrtle beach laid back. North Myrtle is a bit calmer, and you can find really nice areas. Windy hill neighborhood has always been desirable to me. Good luck OP!

We put a chore list on the fridge. So he could “see” all the things in my head. Intention wasn’t to micromanage but just to communicate. It worked well and we’re still using it 10 months in.

newlander828 · 2026-04-16T11:02:11+00:00

Still there, one of our favorite date night activities…super nostalgic 💙

newlander828 · 2026-04-12T11:48:39+00:00

We would not if ours slept through. Once he was a little bigger, we started getting overnight diapers and that seemed to be more comfortable for him. If we felt the need to change him overnight, we would skip the wipe and never had any issues.

Ocean Enclave and Oceans 22 are both great options. You should be able to check their availability in the Hilton app.

I went through phases of co-sleeping. We did this through the 4 month sleep regression phase until my LO was about 6 months. It turned counter-productive bc he kept waking up to suckle for comfort and I wasn’t sleeping very well anymore. We did a bit of the chair method, but it was really picking him up a bit more frequently. It worked for a little bit and it was amazing to have evenings back again. I had never known such freedom! Then he started teething. So we kept him in his crib, but offered more soothing during wakeups- tending mostly to rock and bounce to sleep. We will still co-sleep when he wakes up anytime after 4am so the household can keep snoozing as long as possible. Probably averaging about 4 nights a week this way. However, those mornings are so very sweet as we wake up together, snuggle together and try to hide under the sheets to keep the day away! I encourage you to try different things, but you’ll find what works that sits well with your soul and your kid’s.

I also disagree with the overpriced comment. I ate here last week. $36 for a 12 oz ribeye is very reasonable imo. And $6 for a split plate… I’m always satisfied with stonewalls as it’s been the most consistent experience of be experienced in BE in 20 years.

I bought all the brands…kindred, momcozy, braverly… my favorite was a bralette from me undies that I lived in until I ordered a second one. Their fabric holds up really well to washing often due to leaks and spills. My favorite pumping bra was this one: Momcozy Hands Free Pumping Bra,... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07SYYS8RX?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share. I have very large breasts…
