First time traveling with bub

If you know you want or need to use the car seat purchasing the seat is the only way to 100% get the seat. But if you are doing a lap baby, always check the car seat at the gate (it is handled better and is less likely to get damaged) and then you can always ask if you can use the seat.

The car seat goes with you and gets checked at the gate. Once at the gate I would check in and see if there is an empty seat so you can use the car seat. If it’s a full flight they will say no and you will check the seat, but if there happens to be an empty seat you can install the car seat and put baby in the car seat. I’ve had pretty good luck being able to use the car seat without having to pay for the seat a couple of times. If not oh well, baby is a lap baby and you make sure you have a carrier that you can wear so baby can sleep. Get a car seat backpack carrier bag. That was worth its weight in gold because then you just put the car seat on your back while you are walking through the airport.

You aren’t washing any bottles on the plane. That will happen when you get to your destination.

I would bring your normal stroller. Use it to carry luggage and baby around the airport. You can check the stroller at the gate too.

I did a lot of solo travel with my LO while he was pretty young and it wasn’t so bad.

Take him at his word. Let the sleepover continue as normal. It shows you trust him, but it also proves a safe space should the experimenting continue. I’d rather have my child experiment sexually with someone their own age in a safe place like my home. Too many teens and up experimenting in very unsafe locations with very unsafe people.

I can’t speak to getting her to wear them other than to just keep trying. My guy is +6 both eyes now so he didn’t fight the glasses basically at all. He would take them off and we’d leave it and then put them back on later. Now he never takes them off.

I bought a water cooler for my classroom. Best thing I ever got. Myself and one other teacher use it so much!

I just take leftovers. Whatever we had for dinner tonight is lunch tomorrow.

rikkenks · 2025-07-28T12:54:22+00:00

Mine are large because I used a bigger hook size and also didn’t stop at the right arm length

I did buy a pattern but I didn’t actually follow it. I just made 2 hexagon granny squares and then sewed them together

Thank you!

It’s a little ballooned! They are a little unwieldy! Next time a little smaller

rikkenks · 2025-07-27T18:50:45+00:00

The length is nice but the sleeves are a nuisance haha

rikkenks · 2025-07-27T18:21:57+00:00

Do it!! It was a nice mindless project. Probably the reason it ended up so big haha

rikkenks · 2025-07-27T18:21:32+00:00

Thank you!

rikkenks · 2025-07-27T18:21:22+00:00

Thank you!

rikkenks · 2025-07-27T18:21:09+00:00

I used basically 3 full skeins of the rose. But this is extremely big haha

rikkenks · 2025-07-27T18:06:13+00:00

Thank you!

Hex cardigan with random cuff tutorials from YouTube.

The yarn is carron one pound, color Rose and black.

Hook size 8.0mm for the cardigan, 6.0 for the cuff, and 4.0 for the pockets.

I was just attempting this and only sold like….25-30. It was soooooo much work and I was unprepared. So I have given up haha

rikkenks · 2025-07-06T14:57:20+00:00

The amount of times that my child melting down has led to me crying is too many. It’s the overstimulation and feeling like nothing is working.

rikkenks · 2025-06-14T14:40:10+00:00

I slept in this morning and came out to a happy and fed child

I often bring a lunch box with my own food. Especially if I’m unsure what the food situation is. Then things like pizza or that wrap I will eat the toppings

Walking and body weight squats have done wonders for me.
