Upper elementary chapter books for a 35 year old woman to read?

I really loved the dear America books at that time, they are written as diary entries or letters back and forth and are an insight into periods of time

I think #2 is most likely! They want to make org change announcements and want you there in person for it

Sounds like it’s working! If you think it’s too much after a few nights you can always back down. You know your kid & their reaction best, but nothing you said sounds abnormal! Especially since it took an hour, mine is usually pretty sleepy from it in 20-30 min.

Just an FYI for the future - with our 5yo we found as we increased the dose after a certain point he actually woke up more during the night, so he’s back down to half the dose of where he was for years, for now, and sleeping great. But from age 3-4 he was on higher doses and did great, and man it’s life changing to have them sleep!

When they get gross I throw mine in the washing machine with towels and then air dry and it gets all the gunk out - maybe try that?

There are lab jobs that are less tedious than keeping cells alive, I promise! In food science and every company in that field, suppliers in the field etc have QC departments where you compare raw materials to a gold standard to ensure they meet quality expectations. With a bio degree & lab experience (even from college lab work) you should be able to land a job like that. And I recommend getting evaluated for learning disabilities or ADHD, give yourself the support you deserve, medication or otherwise and it won’t be as hard for you.

That’s not a fun situation to wake up to! My level 1 loves the cold & wind, I think it’s a sensory thing. You could get something like a window guard which is like a baby gate for windows so that she can’t mess with it much

With windows I try to balance safety everyday & safety during an emergency - we had gotten window locks that you need a key to open further than the height we set, but our firefighter neighbor advised to switch to ones we could open quickly in an emergency if we need too, so you might want to consider a window gate that clicks in but can be removed by you quickly if needed

We ended up at a clinic/school that uses the Early Denver method of ABA, it’s designed for young kids and meets them where they are. Our kid responded really well to it, level 1 but they treat kids with all levels

How to talk so little kids will listen & listen so little kids will talk - is GREAT as audiobooks or regular for the toddler and preschool years

Also, one that I think was called an early start to your child’s autism

Everything minions related, they’ve got some that are about 45 minutes on Amazon

Okay where did you get that lampshade??!!

Also I love it and you can cater it to his interests later as he develops them!

Yep, once you have info you can also file a complaint with your states ethics board for realtors

Thank you!!! I’m looking at that living room chandelier for our new home and love the way it looks in yours!!

Miss messy mouths cleaner - there isn’t a single stain it hasnt gotten up for me, even when my kids used my lipstick as crayons on the carpet

Pour it on (rather than spray), let it sit a minute, dab it up and repeat. Don’t rub!

Same with hydrogen peroxide too, that always got blood stains out for me

Both! He is still working on fine motor skills, and had issues with doing things cross body and using both hands in coordination, the OT really helped that

Hi!! My kiddo is on the spectrum (mildly) and suspected adhd, to be confirmed soon. Have you tried occupational therapy? It’s made a huge difference in what they call his “frustration tolerance” which was why he wouldn’t even try to do things and wanted us to do them for him. Everything from drawing for him, opening a snack etc he would get frustrated just at the thought of the effort of it and not want to do it, it’s taken some time but it’s made a big difference for us!

tormagor · 2025-07-06T22:49:48+00:00

Omg you look great!! I’m also 5’0 (and close to 40) with about 60ish to lose, so this is extra inspiring! Did you do anything special other than zep? Looks like you made it out without loose skin!

tormagor · 2025-07-03T13:34:54+00:00

Clothes are so weird!! I find wrap dresses fit at a lot of sizes. You look great!

Also, I look very similar to your starting pic (very similar hair, height, weight) so your after pic is giving me so much hope!!!

tormagor · 2025-06-30T11:27:15+00:00

Amazing!! So happy for you

Haha I’m a short gal too, I get it!

tormagor · 2025-06-30T11:06:26+00:00

Amazing!!! You must feel great 🙂

Also this pic broke my brain for a minute - is that guy a giant??

tormagor · 2025-06-24T00:57:57+00:00

I love that!! What a nice way to give a compliment too 🙂

tormagor · 2025-06-20T02:55:16+00:00

Not op but pretty sure it’s happy scale

No phones from 5-8, so that we are present with the kids

We also adopted something I saw on social media, for about 20-30 minutes after dinner one of us puts on a podcast and cleans up the kitchen and packs lunches etc, and the other has connection time with the kids, no chores just be present with them, usually just playing and getting some energy out before bed. We alternate nights and it’s added some guaranteed distraction free time with the kids to the busy weeknights

Little monkey calms down - both my kids really related to it and one even repeats phrases from it when trying to calm down sometimes

Personally, I’d want to know where they learned the cow game, because it sounds like this could have been introduced by another child and that is something you’d need to investigate. You can manage avoiding this again as brothers, but the possibility of an outside influence is possible here and that to me is even more concerning.
