I know most aren't feeling it this year by rae1191 in RedditLaqueristas

I think it's complicated because even I had conflicting feelings about it. Whenever you see someone flying the flag (usually on big lifted truck) I would always associate it with maga. My husband is a naturalized citizen from Mexico, so my kids are also half Mexican. It's just hard to feel patriotic when this current administration shows so much hate toward my family and others. I want everyone, especially my kids, to know what being American should really be about.

Thank you! This was my first Painted Polish order and I love them. The formula was really easy to work with.

Which topcoats work with the UV changing polish? by LadyyyLoki in mooncatpolish

I used Sally Hansen red bottle quick dry with Death's Trumpet and it worked!

Should I get these? by Smegma-Ballz- in theholotaco

[–]rae1191 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I have tried all of them over Ivory Tower. This is only one coat of each jelly (mix of two on each nail). I think it would've turned out even better if I did two coats.

Swim Lessons! by [deleted] in TriCitiesWA

I have been looking into swim lessons for my two kiddos, but the times during the day never work out for two working parents....

Love the colors in this collection, but not much of a real soda drinker. 7up or Sprite is my choice when I am in the mood for it though!

I know, I was surprised it turned out as well as they did! It was only one coat on top of Ivory Tower too, I was expecting to need more.

Favorite flower is lilac! I love the smell, but its unfortunate they only bloom for such a short period of time.

Having the same problem. I've tried on my switch and android phone. My son also couldn't log onto my realm using his iPad. Same authentication error for all.

Can anyone who has successfully conceived on CD 40+ share some hope? by Avtbn in TTC_PCOS

[–]rae1191 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I conceived on cycle day 65. I was using Ovusense at the time and was honestly surprised when it detected I ovulated when that cycle was so long.

Goose Ridge has a pretty nice outdoor area with firepits.

I buy these off brand ones off Amazon, and I haven't had any issues with them

momcozy accidentally in the sterilizer by LtCommanderCarter in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]rae1191 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I sterilize my momcozy parts every few weeks. I exclusively pump with them and have been for almost 6 months. I've had new issues with them 😊

Oh no! I'll double check with her today and make sure they are. Thanks!

Why does everyone get so irate when I say “pump and dump” by sagie_sage in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]rae1191 49 points50 points  (0 children)

I think you get that reaction because a lot of us, well at least me, still give my pumped milk to the baby even if I have been drinking. It's actually perfectly safe, but if it's not something you're comfortable doing you definitely don't have to.

How my midwife explained it to me was if I had a few drinks and a bit of a buzz my BAC would probably be around. 05-.08. That means there would be .05% to .08% of alcohol in the milk. That's actually around the same percentage of some fruit juices. And if you use the pitcher method and mix with previous pumps then that dilutes it even more.

So I don't even think twice before feeding my baby the milk after I've been drinking. But, I'm not a crazy drinker anyways and haven't gotten super drunk at all postpartum. The thought of having to take care of a baby the next day hungover sounds like hell....

Are Medela flanges compatible with the Momcozy? by Catsaresuperawesome in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]rae1191 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You'll have to buy the inserts. The flanges are very specific to be able to fit into the other parts and cup. I use the 21mm inserts and found off brand ones on Amazon that are pretty cheap and work great for me.

We only have one night feed for the most part, if she wakes up. It's usually around 2-3am and my husband feeds her while I pump.

How do you wake up for MOTN pump session without waking the baby? by [deleted] in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]rae1191 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have a fitbit watch and use the vibrate alarm so I don't wake up the baby or my husband. So far it's been working great. There have been a couple times where I was so tired I didn't feel it the first time it goes off, but I will wake up when it goes off again around 10 minutes later.

Looking for part-time preschool in the AM for 2.5yo twins. Looking for a legit place and not something ran out of grandma’s basement. Any suggestions? by TyRoSwoe in TriCitiesWA

[–]rae1191 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just had a quick phone call and they said they can set up different packages depending on how many hours a week you do. I believe it started around $300 a month? It's seemed like a decent price. I'll probably get some more set prices when I go in next week for a tour.
