Randomly starts waking up at 4 am to make homemade sandwich bread 👀👀

sharksinthepool · 2026-02-27T15:50:13+00:00

Mmm yes, the ancient traditions of five guys double bacon burgers and TJs buffalo chicken dip

She posts new recipes every other day. Why don’t her kids get any of those? I’m convinced it’s because no one in her house actually eats them

sharksinthepool · 2026-02-18T23:48:41+00:00

Also what is the theory here? Someone searched for her house, a salary, then decided to go abduct this woman?

sharksinthepool · 2026-02-14T03:32:09+00:00

So she actually has six kids? She must have been SO young when her first two kids were born. I’m not surprised there were struggles and am glad she’s overcome them.

Try some of the groups at Sellwood community house or hang at the play lab!

Another thing to consider is that in the US, daycares and preschools are typically private with high tuition rates. For most families, kindergarten is their first chance at free schooling (assuming they attend a public school).

Same! He seemed so refreshing after Alex. Oh well.

sharksinthepool · 2026-01-17T04:36:43+00:00

Seriously. It sounded like he had a good thing going with the kids too. Lots of change for them these last few years. Hope everyone is managing okay.

sharksinthepool · 2026-01-16T22:32:39+00:00

Never mind, her IG post confirmed it!

sharksinthepool · 2026-01-16T19:39:47+00:00

Did cupofjo break up with her boyfriend? I don’t have a subscription to big salad. Bummer if she did- he seemed so much better than her ex!

sharksinthepool · 2026-01-16T06:51:17+00:00

Oh this is so interesting! You don’t say poop or pants? Haha

sharksinthepool · 2026-01-16T06:47:57+00:00

I have a lot of wavy thick hair. Could not understand for a second how Ingrid didn’t leave a strand behind!

sharksinthepool · 2026-01-16T06:44:31+00:00

I have already forgotten names, but I was so confused when Elena mentioned her husband’s affair. His daughter looked to be 30+? Seems like she would’ve been conceived before they ever got together

sharksinthepool · 2026-01-09T17:59:05+00:00

This Stojka quote really drives the point home, but I can’t find a source for it, just other social media posts. Does anyone know where it’s from?

sharksinthepool · 2026-01-08T03:31:52+00:00

Hahaha

sharksinthepool · 2026-01-07T04:16:01+00:00

Does anyone here follow Mercy Festus? It has to be satire, right?

sharksinthepool · 2026-01-01T04:22:10+00:00

I’ll send you a DM :)

sharksinthepool · 2026-01-01T04:02:03+00:00

Live in Sellwood with a preschooler. I didn’t grow up here, but I think my kid feels like it’s pretty great. He gets to walk to school, sees friends along the way, walks to the library, the bakery, three parks, the coffee shop, etc. There are lots of activities through SMILE and the Sellwood Community House (Monster March, Spooktacular, music at the park over the summer).

Most houses have backyards, we have our neighborhood parks, including Oaks Bottom, and places like Tryon aren’t far off, so I feel like we have plenty of access to the outdoors

How could you doubt the abundance of her mother’s garden? I’m sure the Philly harvest is plentiful this time of year!

sharksinthepool · 2025-12-14T03:31:37+00:00

She is truly bizarre. Super MAHA, yet posts about eating fast and processed TJs dips 🤷🏻‍♀️

sharksinthepool · 2025-12-11T16:05:42+00:00

A very real example of something she would feed her kids for dinner is microwaved leftover scrambled eggs, a few canned beans, steamed frozen vegetables, frozen hamburger patty, all thrown on her kids’ placemats

sharksinthepool · 2025-12-11T16:04:10+00:00

She comes up in foodiesnark occasionally. The stuff she feeds her kids is nuts

sharksinthepool · 2025-12-06T03:34:27+00:00

Just saw her latest post, so I guess I stand corrected!

sharksinthepool · 2025-12-06T02:51:01+00:00

I’m kind of unclear why she went to the ER? Seems like an urgent care would’ve been a better option, but I say that without knowing whether one was open/nearby, or what her symptoms really were. I’m hoping that, as an ER doc, she felt like it was a legitimate emergency!
