    School board just voted in favor of 4 day school week for next year

    @anewday To be honest, I had this schedule in Jr High, and I loved it. My parents made me go to school on Fridays if I hadn't done my homework for the week, (you could just sit in the library and work), though I often went even without homework to meet up with friends and (pretend to) do other...

    Talk to me about babies measuring big (5.5lbs at 32 weeks), monitoring and avoiding induction!

    @omnitude Every woman and every labour is sooo different. With my first, I had an induction at 40 weeks after a week of prodomal labor & my water breaking.

    FTM — All my baby hand-me-downs clothes reek of toxic detergent and I can’t wash the smell out

    FTM — All my baby hand-me-downs clothes reek of toxic detergent and I can’t wash the smell out

    @ch3apshad3s Not so granola but I find the only thing that really gets rid of laundry softener / fragrance build up is borax. I justify it because secondhand clothes are so much better for the environment in the long run, even at the expense of one borax wash.
