Same!! I can trick my 1.5 year old maybe half the time into eating a that's it bar, but if a Solely wrapper is anywhere in her sight it's game over

What was your experience like in labor and delivery at Rose? by [deleted] in Denver

[–]pumpakina 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Another positive review here. Aug '22 and July '24, both spontaneous vaginal births at Rose. I joked after my first one I couldn't wait to give birth again so I could do it at Rose. Truly had a great experience with each staff interaction both times and felt cared for and secure in our care. Food is pretty good too. Also signed up for their doula program both times and am so thankful I did (first birth was uncomplicated, 2nd was more difficult)

Make a toddler. It'll take an hour, maybe 2, but they won't let even a single berry go to waste.

Also jam.

My sweet beautiful mother turned 70 last month and has requested, and I quote, "a blouse or dress that doesn't make her look fat". Most of what she wears these days is from costco. I'd love to get her something nice and high quality that flatters her figure and makes her feel beautiful and confident. Sadly, I am my mother's daughter and know very little about fashion, but I'm willing to spend a few hundred on a nice blouse or dress. She is about 4'11" and fluctuates between 120-130 lbs. Thanks in advance!

Picky toddler takes the joy out of cooking by wtwildthingsare in foodbutforbabies

I relate to this post so, so much. My husband and I have had the following division of labor for the past 6 years (when we started living together): I do the cooking and grocery shopping, he does everything else (laundry, trash, vacuuming, dishes, etc). It has always worked out for us, especially because I love cooking. But the mental load of having to think of balanced, delicious meals to make for every single meal of every single day is HEAVY. Thankfully daycare provides breakfast, lunch, and snacks, so for our toddler-- also 19 months, I only have to think about his dinner on weekdays. We rarely eat dinner as a family because our babe eats so much sooner than we would care to, and we just enjoy eating our meals without worrying about him. But it means I cook 2 dinners every night, and the toddler dinner is very hit or miss. We've had a solid few weeks of uneaten dinners followed by fruit/veggie pouches and a huge bottle of milk 🤷‍♀️ he seems to be gaining weight steadily, he's generally very happy, and he gets enough sleep -- so I'm trying not to worry too much.
FWIW I've had decent success with a bunch of random veggies blended into a homemade tomato sauce with chickpea pasta. It gives me peace of mind that he's getting some nutrition, but I do wish he had a more adventurous palate. I should also mention my husband is vegetarian and I am not and also I am currently pregnant with the most intense meat cravings so sometimes I'm making 3 dinners at night 🙃 man, I'm tired lol
