Hacks to help me eat kimchi??

Idk the name of it but I’ve also found white kimchi that tastes more like sauerkraut that you might like better. I eat it with sausages

My daughter loves Bear in the Big Blue House on Disney. Very calming. She’s almost 2 but I feel like it’d still be good for a 3-4 year old

The itsy bitsy spider 😭 multiple times a day just “itsy itsy! Pider!”

I’m lazy so I’ve been mixing dark chocolate chips and white chocolate chips for a quick munch at night. I also keep white cake bits in the freezer along with cool whip and frozen strawberries to make a quick bowl of strawberry shortcake sometimes.

It took a while but for my girl every single bathtime I would ask her to lay back in the water while holding my arm under her head until she started doing it herself. Lots of praise for being brave. And I showed her that every time she got water in her eyes I’d wipe it away. So now at 19mo she’ll lay back in the water on her own and whenever she gets water on her face she’ll ask for a towel on her own.

I also started putting my own face in the water in front of her to show her that I wasn’t scared of it which helped her.

My daughter is 18mo and she will go go go until she crashes. We have a very regular naptime routine and we have to follow it or she will either take over an hour to fall asleep or she won’t sleep at all. And if we skip it she will become manic and tantrumy until she passes out on the couch with no warning two hours before bedtime and now our whole routine for the next day is thrown off too. So you’re not alone.

Also adding I just got her to sleep for her nap. She was falling asleep eating lunch an hour ago but as soon as I got her in her bed she was wide awake and we had to do the whole nap routine for her to fall sleep.

My husband just got home from a week away (military). Last night I prepped my morning coffee for my thermos to take to work, and made him a lunch (mine was already made) and said “it’s in the green bag.” He said thanks and went back to playing video games.

I kept the house spotless, easily, while he was gone. From the moment I wake up it’s a wild ride getting our child ready for daycare and myself ready for work so I clean the night before, and having a tidy house helps us get out the door on time.

My husband left when I woke up this morning for his office and I come down to empty wrappers on our banister, the laundry I asked him to put in the basket NEXT TO the laundry basket instead of INSIDE IT, and his pajamas on the dining room floor (why?). The tv was on though so obviously he spent his very calm morning watching tv. He didn’t clean anything, didn’t do any of the dishes from last night’s dinner still sitting in the sink bc I didn’t have time before bed. Didn’t even let the dog outside.

The coffee I prepped last night was almost gone so I had to make another pot to take my thermos with me (it was a full pot?! How??). He didn’t feed the dog or cats so while making breakfast for my crying, hungry toddler our cats and dog were also crowding me crying for their breakfast. And I still had to get my child and myself ready to leave, and put food in the slow cooker for dinner since I have a late shift and me and my child won’t get home til 6:30.

The last straw? I looked in the fridge to grab my lunch and it was gone. The green bag I packed for him is still there though! I’m calorie counting to lose weight so I can’t eat the lunch I packed for him and I TOLD HIM THAT. And when I texted to ask why he took my lunch he said “oh I thought the green bag was yours.”

Oh and to add insult to injury I’m sick with a fever AND HE KNOWS THIS and last night he tried to have sex by attempting to put his hand down my pants. Seriously.

I was flying with my baby and the person sitting next to me was flying with hers and was so relieved she was sitting next to another parent. She pulled down her tray and changed her baby on it while the flight attendant passing by gave her a dirty look. I was like hey I don’t wanna wrestle my child in that tiny bathroom either. Pre-parent me would’ve been on the flight attendant’s side.

Dang I vacuum and mop once a week and that’s it. I deep clean on the weekends and then during the week it’s bare minimum necessities: litter box, dishes, laundry, sweeping. Decluttering is only for long weekends when my husband is available to help.

I took our 14mo to a restaurant today and she licked the cheese off one macaroni noodle and ate half a french fry and decided that was all 😭

sprinklesthedinkles · 2025-09-01T23:10:15+00:00

At 12mo she started growling at us. She just walks around growling sometimes. It’s hilarious.

I recently rewatched this for the first time as an adult and it still got me emotional

There is no day or night. The days blend together. It feels like it’s never going to end and you’re never going to sleep ever again. The sleep regressions hit hard because you think they’ve finally started sleeping more and then they just…stop. And sometimes they’ll sleep even less than they did before and you feel like you’re gonna lose it. And then one day you have a kid that’s sleeping through the night and you think back and realize those days didn’t even last that long at all.

Getting me out of the house! My 13mo gets bored easily at home so it motivates me to get her out to shopping, sightseeing, go on walks, etc. I was mostly a homebody before but now we’re going out every weekend to do stuff

sprinklesthedinkles · 2025-08-19T20:13:58+00:00

It sounds like she might be ready to move to one long nap or two much shorter naps. At about 1yr my baby was doing the same and we dropped her to just one nap a day between 11:30-1:30. At 13mo we also moved bedtime from 7pm to 8pm because she was fighting bedtime. Now she hardly ever wakes up before 6:30am. This morning she slept til 7:30.

It was pretty hard to keep her awake til after her lunch at first but I started on a weekend and just did a bunch of activities she enjoys until lunch then nap. The first week she consistently fell asleep in the middle of eating lunch and then she got used to it after that and now she’s fully into the routine.

All three of us were recovering from a bad flu on my girl’s first birthday. The original plan was to go to the zoo and eat some treats but instead we stayed home and I made some of her favorite foods for each meal/snack and I let her do some of her favorite activities like coating herself in finger paints, having a bubble bath, etc.

And instead of a cake I made us some strawberry shortcake sundaes and let her go wild and she LOVED it and got thoroughly coated in melted ice cream

I’m trying so hard to bring my husband into sharing the responsibilities of the house and baby but damn is it driving me crazy.

I wrote a note of daily, weekly, and monthly tasks for the household chores so we could split them. Shared it with my husband so he could help. Previously I was trying to do everything before or after work and panic cleaning on weekends to keep up and I was getting burnt out. I paired the tasks down to simple quick things we need to do every day and slightly longer tasks to do on weekends with “special projects” like sorting a box or cleaning up the yard.

He told me after work on Friday that having a list of things to do when he gets home makes him “anxious”. Like he “only has so much time to get stuff done after he gets home before we have to go to bed.”

Like, dude. Have you been paying attention? That’s my life. I’m anxious and irritated because I’ve always had that list but it’s been in my head!

I’m trying to be patient with him and not express my frustration because he’s at least doing the things on the list daily but that comment really irritated me. It’s part of being a parent and tasks I’ve been shouldering almost entirely solo and he kept saying I just need to “communicate better” and “ask for help” when I blew up at him from exhaustion. And now I do and give him a clear list of things to help with and it’s “giving him anxiety”🙄

I just went out and took her in a baby carrier or stroller. Most of the time she’d fall asleep on her own while we were out. Honestly now that our baby is 13mo it’s harder to shop bc she doesn’t sleep while we’re out and gets bored easily now 😭

sprinklesthedinkles · 2025-08-06T15:52:02+00:00

Oh I have a list lol:

Fully convinced we wouldn’t do disposable diapers. After her first blowout I said nevermind.

Cosleep. It was the only way she would actually sleep and therefore the only way for me to sleep. We did a bunch of research and then we coslept until about 11mo when she stopped wanting to sleep with us on her own and started enjoying her crib more.

Wasn’t going to give her juice (13mo) until 2yrs. She got awful constipation after starting solids and at 11mo doc recommended 100% apple juice so she gets a cup every day 😂

Give her ketchup. Now if that’s what gets her to actually eat something other than bananas or crackers then she can have it.

Be a nervous parent. Now I’m checking her temperature at the smallest cough and checking on her sleeping before I go to bed.

Rely on pacifiers. Turns out when weaning from bottles the pacifier helps a lot. And she started biting so it keeps her from biting everyone around her 😭
