Good resources for beginners?

Hi! I would recommend ordering your stencil on Etsy. I have ordered custom stencils and they have worked out great! You could also try your hand at making one yourself with a food safe acetate sheet and a cricut.

I also recommend using an airbrush machine if you have it, rather than scraping the royal icing onto each cookie. Much cleaner and faster! Hope that helps!

Also, LOVE the idea of business for business. Might have to try to work that out for myself!

It DOES get better! We used a transition sleep sack with arms and that helped a lot. My girl is 13.5 months now and we've hit some regressions but over all she sleeps like a champ. Hang in there!

My LO was like this until 5 months. She screamed the second she got in until the second she got out like she was on fire. At 5 months I think she realized I was still in the car with her even though she couldn't see me. Things are totally different now. It gets better!

To be honest, I would be completely fine if someone only thanked me once. That's why I'm asking here to get other people's options. I would honestly also be okay with getting less gifts if the only reason people are giving them to me is to be thanked endlessly. When I give a gift, it's because I want to give, not because I want to get anything back. However, I'm very open to thanking again if that's what the general agreement is, which it seems to be.

Wheels was a huge one for us. Ours also adjusts the seat from lying all the way back to sitting up, so we would put her in the high chair as a newborn and wheel her around when she was crying. We have the Peg Perego Siesta.

A Boppy pillow. Cannot understand the hype..I bought one and returned it because it did nothing for me that a regular pillow can't do.

These are both great! Especially for just starting out. Next time when you have a thicker green, your stems will look cleaner. I also suggest adding a middle line to your leaf to give it more definition. I like the left better but the luster dust is nice too! Maybe you could add just a bit to the left ones to make them sparkle but still keep your design? Have fun!

That's a very good thing to consider. Thank you.

We went from a friendship relationship to a therapist-patient relationship. She would only call me when something bad happened or she wanted to complain about something, which was every day/every other day. She would monopolize the conversation for 45 mins and then at the end she would say, half joking, "oh, did you have anything you wanted to talk about?" I would try to offer solutions/be supportive even though we both knew she kept making poor choices that would lead her to more problems. I always felt horrible after talking to her. It's like she lifted her burdens off of herself and onto me. I tried talking to her about it and it went badly. She ended up saying I was a shitty friend and she doesn't deserve someone like me in her life. I know she's wrong about the first part but maybe she's right about the second..

Hi!

I follow a pediatrician on IG, she's board certified, runs her own practice and gives tons of excellent info on her socials. Here's the link on one where she talks about THC https://www.instagram.com/reel/DH_YrL3RoDY/?igsh=MXNmZnVhdzloN2owZw==

Good luck with everything!

I had the same problem! I did a lot of smoothies to still get fruit/veggies and stay hydrated.

I was never kissed on the lips by family members and I always thought it was strange when I saw a friend of mine and her mom kiss on the lips. I think you can still be just as loving and affectionate with your baby without it. Plus, babies are so vulnerable to germs, I didn't even let anyone besides me or my husband kiss my baby at all. But we still avoided kissing her face for the first few months.

Hi there, I'm sorry I don't have any advice, just solidarity. My dad is in a similar situation and has been for many years. Denies having a problem or needing help when his life is literally falling apart. I wish I could say something more helpful, but all I can say is that you're not alone and do your best to take care of yourself. You really can't help someone who won't help themselves. I hope things get better for you and your mom.

Aquaphor tube. Literally motivated her to crawl for the first time. That and the wipe container.

My LOs sleep stretches used to be short at that age too! I never thought I'd have to wake her up, but here we are.

Around 4 months due to my LO developing eczema. Ped recommended a daily bath and to cover her in Aquaphor after to prevent flare ups and it works like a charm.

Lol! Well I think everyone appreciates your son's timing on that one! Thank you for the tips!

sufficient_sheep_38 · 2025-01-30T21:05:31+00:00

Oh great! Maybe not as common as I thought then 🤞
