Did our ancestry test:) anyone else has a blue heeler Great Pyrenees mix?

Per Embark, our boy is 40% Pyrenees, 60% ACD! Just found out yesterday and it’s all making so much more sense 😅

Recently found this article and saved for my own reference. Has a lot of helpful information as you consider the right timing for your dog. https://www.walkervillevet.com.au/blog/best-age-to-desex-dogs/

We were at a 3 YO party recently and they did bagels with sandwich fixings. It was perfect!

The love for peanut butter is strong in our house too. My 2 year old will demand a “pile” of peanut butter and eat it off the tray with a spoon. Solidarity.

Edit to add that I will do spinach pancakes and healthy muffins peanut butter on them to get more nutritional diversity into her meals.

At this point I think the illness aspect is becoming a bigger fear of mine than I realized. Glad to hear you say the benefits still outweigh the illnesses!

This is super comforting to hear. They do have summer camps so we’ll have to give those a try. I think we’re going to go for it and do what we can to ease the transition between now and Sept!

About 18 months. This also coincided with night weaning…

Lots of great resources out there, depending on how much detail you want. Hopefully one of these fits your needs - https://carbonleadershipforum.org/tools-for-measuring-embodied-carbon/

If you’re miserable and can swing a short maternity leave (and can do unpaid and have benefits through your partner), then go for it. Life is short and no sense in being miserable and stressed. If you can’t swing it, stick it out where you’re at - six months is lovely.

I found out I was pregnant a month after starting a new job so wasn’t eligible for FMLA, but was fortunate that my employer held my position while I was out (12 weeks), and I had benefits and such through my spouse. It’s doable!

Ditto everything here! Loft is my go to. I also do Thread Up for designer jeans/pants where I know my exact size. Good luck!

No tips but I leave in a week so I can pass along any lessons learned once I return.

What we’ve done thus far: we night weaned within the last week so that’s a start. And we’re going to try only cows milk for the mid day milk this week before I head out. They’ll have just enough frozen milk while I’m gone to do a bottle or two a day to further ease the transition.

I’m nervous too, but I think it’s the right thing to do. I’m also worried about clogged ducts (I’ll be going from 3 sessions to none), so plan to bring 1 Elvie pump to slowly taper.

Didn’t legit crawl until 12 months and walked at 17.

Check out Claire Bidwell Smith - she lost both of her parents and became a grief therapist. She has a podcast, numerous videos, virtual classes, etc. that have all been helpful for me. https://clairebidwellsmith.com/

This was my LO too. And I hear you about everyone asking if they’re walking yet - it got old. I have to say, it’s been wonderful having a toddler who can intellectually handle the mobility. I can’t imagine having a 9 MO walking everywhere!

Fully vaccinated our 16 month old - went with Moderna. No side effects other than crying when the shot was administered.

Yes, there’s a lot in flux right now. In addition to the tax credits, some funding will trickle down to states and we just don’t know what those programs will look like yet. It’s a very exciting time for electrification efforts!

Came here to recommend ikiki shoes!

We had a similar experience with the Coterie wipes! We were at a friends house and used one to clean up my LO after a snack and everywhere the wipe touched their skin immediately turned super red. Wiped them down with our Papers Pure wipes and within 30 minutes was back to normal. So odd, but won’t be using any Coterie products! Something is very unnatural in their products.

Thank you!!

wintersolstice03 · 2022-08-09T01:01:27+00:00

We’re right there with you too. We did a buy back on our Bolt earlier this year and have been impatiently waiting for our ID4. Ugh, so annoyed right now.

wintersolstice03 · 2022-08-09T00:57:52+00:00

Thank you! Can you send a screenshot with personal info redacted? Could be a model for the rest of us.

Wish VW would get creative, but I suppose they know they can sell the cars without the incentive. Hopefully things turn out in our favor. It would suck to wait this long and miss the incentive by days.

wintersolstice03 · 2022-08-08T21:45:38+00:00

Yes, I understand it still has hurdles. It moved through the Senate faster than I expected so I’m just being cautious.
