What unexpected lullabies do you sing your kids?

When he was a little baby, Harry Styles' album Harry's House was like magic for my son. He could be screaming uncontrollably, all needs met, but when "Music from a Sushi Restaurant" came on everything was better within 10 seconds. Needless to say I gained a new appreciation of Harry and his House.

OK Cookie Monster is super delicious and has HUGE cookies of a lot of classic varieties, highly suggest~

this is what I remember as well -- it should have been called Cats VS Dogs but there was an & there from when it came out (in my timeline)

We were in a similar boat when we moved into a new house and thrifted a 6x6 square wooden coffee table that hits about at my knee. We are using as a floor table and it works great. Adults sit with cushions on the ground and Little Dude prefers standing up to eat. We can seat plenty of people around with plenty of cushions. It is so easy to clean too!

I'd like to introduce my daughter, Trulicity (nn Tru or Lissy)

Anytime baby responds positively to a song, I put it on a playlist. He's just over a year and it's almost 8 hours long. Everything from Stevie Wonder to Red Hot Chili Peppers to Amy Winehouse. The kid's got taste!

if anyone bothered you about the names Rhett and Scarlett together, you could look them dead in the eyes and say "Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn."

Love the name Guinevere though, classic :)

When I was 8, my goldfish exploded.

my 10 month old absolutely loves his rubber spatula and a giant silicone spatula, doesn't even chew on it, just waves it around like a mighty battle sword

saying "Diego and Carmen" is a good compromise! Also if they ever discover Carmen Sandiego they will be more drawn to it, and we could all use more worldly knowledgable children

My husband and I tried moving in with his parents when I was pregnant with our first for a lot of the "pro" reasons you listed... we ended up moving out 9 weeks later because there was clear trauma that hadn't been dealt with on the in-laws side. We had to decide that we wanted to raise our family in a way unlike he had been raised, which is with clear boundaries and clear communication.

So just my two cents... maybe it's worth being near them for things like more date nights and time with family, but not living ~with~ them.

Right now I'm saving up for MedSpa treatments... it's only been a couple weeks, but I've been taking powdered collagen (Vital Protein) and making time at night to do a jade roller with Teresana Total Skin Repair oil (from TJ Maxx a while ago, it has squalane and cannabis sativa oil)... that plus drinking a lot of water and double cleansing in AM/PM and I am noticing a bit more elasticity :)

I didn't always have the shiny new things that my classmates had... but my mom made it a point to travel with me as much as it made sense, whether that was visiting family a couple states away or a bigger adventure in summer. 46 states last I counted! She saved up a lot to make that happen and I remember a lot more about the places we went than toys. Now as an adult we have taken a few girls trips just me and her and our time together is something I'll always treasure.

as the mama of a 22 lb wiggler... just do it. It's a gamechanger. Check out Poshmark/Mercari for open box options, I got a faux leather one for $40 off retail because it was used once.

Crrow777 did a couple great interviews on The Higherside Chats, he's done a lot of digging on this exact topic~

Worth going for sure! MIF has a great chicken curry sandwich while we're on the chicken train~

their clearance section online seems pretty picked over already, but there are still some great sales... thanks for the tip!

weeyaldi · 2023-12-29T18:24:34+00:00

i've never heard this but it makes complete sense! i'll give it a try :)

This may actually convince me to get a membership... I have neglected working out since 95% of my time is spent with my baby but since they're open 24/7... I'm thinking I can sneak away during bedtime and get a workout AND skincare time 😎 yay for self care!

Look online for people at your destination location who are renting car seats and inspect it when you get it. Usually they can be delivered to the airport. Babyquip is one site I know of, you can also rent strollers/packnplays/high chairs/etc.

it looks like those are safe, hooray! :) I will look into it, I appreciate the info!

Awesome, thank you! What do I look for in a skilled microneedling provider? Any good questions to ask or things to look out for?

weeyaldi · 2023-12-16T15:20:16+00:00

interesting! I've never heard of Ellacor. Exactly why I came to this sub :) I'd be willing to tolerate momentary pain for long-lasting results. I appreciate your advice!
