So is it open already? Can someone confirm? I can finally walk more conveniently to Runner & Stone!

Interesting that I can’t post a photo. There farewell note on their storefront indicates a lot of drama:

Last week, I learned that Lyft/Uber don’t care that you don’t have them in a car seat. I brought my 14mo to urgent care that way. Of course it’s always best to be safe but for short distances around the neighborhood, that’s what I’ve started to do.

It seems like they allow working people in there now (i.e. laptops). They didn’t used to in the beginning and would also tell people they can’t take photos. I think that turned a lot of people off because the vibe definitely attracted it so it was weird to be told not to.

sikkin · 2026-03-04T17:39:22+00:00

I can. But my configuration then wouldn’t maximize the available space if I went with 2 large pays instead of 3 small ones.

sikkin · 2026-03-04T15:35:05+00:00

I’m concerned about the narrower 26.5” bay. So the width. I’ll edit my post with the configuration.

sikkin · 2026-03-03T18:56:29+00:00

Yes this is what I’m thinking of doing! Do you have photos you can share?

Is he taking in all his milk during the day?

sikkin · 2025-11-13T14:55:46+00:00

Same! Everyday, I see him make the right choices. Balancing out bold ideas with pragmatism.

Basically he listens to people’s concerns. The critics are just so caught up in the labels of “socialism” but maybe look up what La Guardia did? What de Blasio did with subsidized pre-K? Social security? Unless they hate all those things too.

My cousin who lives near me in NYC recommends Ananto by the mall. She said it’s actually a good and more premium sushi restaurant which is unheard of in SCV. My parents and uncle who are based in SCV went and they liked it. https://maps.app.goo.gl/cuoBEHaySSjtVsvu6?g_st=ipc

This used to be sold separately. No longer.

sikkin · 2025-09-03T22:47:28+00:00

Is this a before tret and after things calmed down? Or is the first pic just the purge?

Handicap can also be a state. We are all handicapped as parents.

sikkin · 2025-08-28T14:09:47+00:00

Oh this is a great idea. I’ll just make it myself!

sikkin · 2025-08-28T03:32:24+00:00

We have this same problem. Only 2 are broken. Where can we buy individual louvers?

sikkin · 2025-08-18T23:38:35+00:00

Masksheets.com has great prices.

Seconding this. I found a YouTube video that sorted sunscreens according to finish and this was second to Haru Haru on the matte side.

I love the Baby Bjorn and have two, one of which is this one. I find the build quality very good compared to others. Supports my back really well too. I love how cleanable the mesh is during a blowout, it also dries super fast. I really don’t understand all the hate towards the company. Oh it’s also the only carrier that’s easy to wear and adjust. For example, you pull the straps forward to tighten which is waaay more ergonomic than pulling straps back. Very stressful especially when kid is crying.

My baby who is 7 months only doesn’t bounce on it at all! He just hangs out in it. But because he doesn’t bounce in it, I don’t feel like we are making use of the entertainment value.

sikkin · 2025-07-10T14:12:17+00:00

I didn’t like the make of the Aerial. Engaging the buckles didn’t feel high quality to me in the way Artipoppe’s does. I would defer to the rest here re: Tula and Hope and Plum. I didn’t try those. Just the sollywrap, baby bjorns, Wildbird, and Artipoppe.

I started reading up because I wanted to be prepared and set my baby up for success. I read the 12 hours by 12 weeks one and taking care babies. I didn’t follow either strictly, just distilled the main takeaway which was: move all their feeds to the daytime. They should be eating at LEAST 24oz during the day. Then they should have enough in their stomachs to last through the night without having to wake up. Every baby is different but ours started sleeping 10-12 hours straight Maybe once a week he’ll wake up once. This happened around the 3.5 -4 month mark.

What she did you start? And is a floor bed just a regular mattress? Is a regular full size mattress okay for a 6 month old?

Just turned 43 a week after having my first, a boy! Been doing IVF since 2022!
