I don’t know, we don’t put any pressure on each weekend day but we desperately need to get out of the house. Annual passes for the zoo and the aquarium mean we never feel bad about only staying an hour or two. Maybe it’s different since my two are only 11 months and 2.5.

In a crowd I’ll still baby wear my toddler. She’s a darter or she’s a slow poke; there’s no in between

Mine too. The skip hop backpack is awesome. But the leash is a little too short.

Oxiclean, max force works sometimes. But really, bibs or strip them naked

I had to do something similar, designed all the stages of a wastewater treatment plant in different linked tabs of a spreadsheet.

My husband was really scared about it, but baby #2 wants so badly to feed himself that I gave in. Now he eats all our foods plus he gets snacks of puffs and li’ crunchies and yogurt melts. And I’ve had to start making him pouches (mostly whole fat yogurt mixed with the leftover baby food I didn’t want to spoon feed…

It was really hard to feel comfortable leaving the house until my first was 8 weeks old. But then I couldn’t handle being inside anymore and I jumped into a little of everything. I hit up breastfeeding support group, baby wearing meeting, baby wearing barre, and I joined a weekly new moms group that also did nature…

Good to know I’m not the only one. I just can’t nap and feel better afterwards.

gotta try this. grapefruit is my favorite flavor and I love a good bourbon.

There aren’t a lot of them down in southern California, but luckily I live in walking distance of one. The bulk food is amazing and they have such great meat specials.

I didn’t realize that Surfas had closed. I loved their cafe.

came here looking to make the same comment. Grapefruit San Pellegrino is so good that I have a monthly Subscribe and Save from Amazon. I can buy some flavors in store but almost never that one. And I usually get 24 cans for $17-ish from Amazon this way. La Croix is crap, I need the sweetness of San Pellegrino.

We spent $1,000 for a DJ seven years ago and they really made the reception. I didn’t want a cheesy MC, but someone who could read the room. We had a packed dance floor for hours.

Yes, every once in awhile he’ll say something positive about indexes funds but mostly he wants people in high fee funds. And I’d never base my retirement plans on 12% gains.

Same here. There are lots of things Dave says that really annoy me (the anti-liberal, pro-prosperity doctrine stuff mostly) but I love how he yells at people. I don’t think debt is as awful as he says but I’m also glad to be down to just our mortgage.

Last time I went to Joanns the cashier just took my phone from me and scrolled through the coupons to figure out everything I could use and scanned away. It was awesome and I ended up making some great signs for the Science March with everything I bought.

but those costs CAN be covered by a 529. “To qualify as a 529 plan under federal rules, a state program must not accept contributions in excess of the anticipated cost of a beneficiary’s qualified education expenses. At one time, this meant five years of tuition, fees, and room and board at the costliest college under…

Clark Howard has a great breakdown of the 529 plans by state. We’re using the California plan (ScholarShare) and it’s really easy to set up and doing well. (We also live here.) Since there’s no tax-advantage we didn’t need to stick with the California plan but I figured we might as well since it’s a well-rated plan. ht…

This is the one we have too. We also expanded to two cameras, one for the baby and one for the toddler. You can switch between cameras manually or let it automatically switch.

This would be great. We got stuck at o’hare in a blizzard one and walked the whole airport looking for a new pair of socks. I actually bought new underwear from a rest stop bathroom vending machine in Japan when the airline lost my entire group’s luggage. It ended up being my story with Alex trebek when I was…
