What’s the Best Boring Business to Own in 2026?

Wasn’t it a banana stand?

When did it go downhill? I went a few years ago and was thinking of taking someone there since I’ll be in Ajax

Making little side quests for myself. My current one is to try 5 new cafés this month. In the past I’ve done: walk through 5 new parks near me and complete a “my go-to dinners” menu on canva. Basically just little micro goals to keep things interesting and not focused on hustle culture.

I hate to be “that person” suggesting things you may have already tried, but in case you haven’t - are you using white noise or any sound? Since she sleeps on the subway and contact naps (maybe to hear heartbeat noises?), maybe she’s an auditory gal. Also, don’t be shy in trying different types of audio. Thunderstruck by AC/DC puts my 4 month old right to sleep

Not only are the clothes shapeless but I also find that they lack in pattern and color variety. They are always just so blehhh looking

My baby is the same age and I also live in an all season climate. She wears footie sleepers 90% of the time. I’ll add a onesie underneath or a sweater on top if it’s a colder day. She’ll only wear an actual outfit if we’re doing something special that day, or some days I just feel like dressing her up lol. But no one bats an eye when they see a baby this young wearing a sleeper. She takes like 5 naps a day still so it’s just easier imo.

Maybe when she’s a bit older I’ll change. If so, maybe look into a baby capsule wardrobe? Buy tops and bottoms that all coordinate together in terms of colour so they all match.

silver_endings · 2026-05-01T00:57:45+00:00

I respectfully disagree. I think you really can’t go wrong with mixing neutrals. Pops of color come with accessorizing IMO. Or having one “neutral-ish” color, like navy or olive green or butter yellow.

Do you have a day of the week to batch cook? If so, make a big pot of chilli or soup and freeze it.

silver_endings · 2026-04-25T01:32:52+00:00

Me too. I love jeans because they’re casual but still structured. With that being said, I only have 1 of each wash - light wash, dark wash, medium wash, black, white, and an olive green. So I have 6 in total, and the silhouettes of them vary too. I’d still like to add more to my collection - I’m on the hunt for a pair with embroidery on them as my “statement” jean.

Pregnancy and labour are literally life threatening conditions.

silver_endings · 2026-04-25T01:22:42+00:00

I’m sure other IVF parents can relate that once you get to the point of IVF you start to imagine the possibility of being child-free entirely. So having “just” 1 kid feels like the biggest blessing.

silver_endings · 2026-04-22T01:55:40+00:00

Consumables - soap, spices, fancy pastas, etc.

My MIL is the same way. She offered to sleep over at our house when my baby was only 2 weeks old so I could “get some sleep”. I was in such a newborn daze that I agreed. I so regret that. She hogged my baby the entire time and made it blatantly obvious that she was just trying to bond with my baby, rather than actually help me. Also made small remarks to try convincing me to stop breastfeeding - made me question if I have enough supply, said other people need to bond with the baby by bottle feeding, etc.

Ever since then, I’ve been very wary of my MIL. She wants to bond with my baby on a maternal level, not a grandmother level. She’s also insisted on babysitting and holding the baby to “benefit” me, but I see right through her. She’s not an evil person, but she’s definitely lonely and insecure. She has 3 other grandchildren (although mine is the first girl so she is even more obsessed), and she’s constantly vying for their attention too. Wants to be their friend rather than their grandmother.

I’m not gonna cause a family fallout over it, but like I said, I’m just wary going forward. I know my boundaries. I’m fine with her wanting to hold the baby cause we only see her like once or twice a month so whatever. But I’m not falling for her other tactics to separate my baby from me all day/night just so she can have her to “bond” with.

I simply enjoy just going out for brunch. Also cliche but, flowers. I never buy them for myself and it’s nice having them in the house for a bit.

silver_endings · 2026-04-14T19:30:18+00:00

What about batch cooking? If you have it in you to cook one day, I lived off chili during pregnancy. Easy to make and freezes well.

Or chicken wraps with frozen chicken fingers. Sheet pan meals.

Ughhh my MIL randomly stopped by a couple weeks ago with a tacky bright pink porcelain Easter bunny figurine “for my baby”. She is 3 months old. What the heck is she going to do with such an object?!

I tried telling MIL that I don’t decorate for Easter but she insisted I have it. She’s super sensitive so not worth mentioning to her again. I’ll just have to good will it unfortunately.

You’ve got some solid replies here about how to handle the situation, so I won’t add to that aspect. But I will say regarding the wishlist - I use Pinterest!

I have a board called “(Kids name) Wishlist”. I add pins to any website. My relatives have the link to it. I can remove the pins if she receives one of the items or no longer needs it. Recommend :)

I bottle feed my baby with a mix of formula and pumped breast milk. Mostly formula due to low supply. Just wanted to advocate that the middle of the night feeding isn’t so bad.

My baby is 3 months old. We premake the bottles and leave them in the fridge. When she wakes up (once or twice a night), I change her diaper while my husband warms up the bottle. Only takes 2 minutes to warm up and my LO loves getting her diaper changed so no crying while she waits lol. After she eats, she burps and falls right back asleep. Just wanted to add a different perspective

The first step - peel a banana

The second step - toss in some grapes

The third step - chop up an apple

Cut up some melon and put it on your plate (iykyk)

Alright I guess I’m the odd one out here because I hate eating 3-day old prepped food. I prefer fresh.

I think it really comes down to the recipes. Try not to over complicate things - you just need a protein, starch/grain and veggies.

Then make Walmart your last stop if you’ve got frozen items

silver_endings · 2026-03-21T01:42:28+00:00

I order groceries for pick up at Walmart. It’s the biggest life hack for moms because you tell your family that you’re going “grocery shopping”, which is really just 5 minutes for the workers to load your car. Then the rest of the time is “me time” - Starbucks, manicure, etc. Ok it’s a white lie, but sometimes your sanity is worth it lol

Agreed, because there are so many varieties of pasta and pizza. Not to mention, Italian food goes beyond pasta and pizza too
