    "pUt YoUr BaBy DoWn GrOgGy BuT aWaKe"

    @robert777 This is 100% kid dependent. My first I fed her to sleep every bed and nap for most of a year then put her down like a faulty pipe bomb that could blow at any moment. She's a fomo baby who had to be tricked to sleep. My second would eat, then babble to himself, then happily go into...

    Can’t Lose the Damn Weight - 2 Years Postpartum

    @jiuo Wow! Thank you so much for sharing! I tried to get into protein powder when I was pregnant and couldn't stand the thought of meat, but some of them are so gross. I'll have to check that one out!

    Can’t Lose the Damn Weight - 2 Years Postpartum

    @jiuo Can you post an example day's menu? I am baffled at what I would even eat to get 100g of protein!

    Just got hired at a new job and also found out I’m pregnant with baby #2

    @jfortizzle I personally wouldn't tell them yet. I never told an employer until after 12 weeks and wouldn't change that for a new job. Especially because knowing early won't change anything for them. You would still not qualify FMLA and presumably it's too late to un-quit your previous job, so...

    As we’re home today w the kids for the holiday…

    @rogger Can you consider an addition? We live in a house that was originally a 3/2 and has been Frankensteined into a 4/3.5 monster with a second living room, an office, and a sunroom. (We did not do these additions, but we're already planning a bathroom remodel and another addition)...

    My kids all have fevers and here’s what I’m fantasizing about today…

    @peppermint_patty Went and got my free award just for you. Let me know when your novel gets published 🤣

    What are your "do it all" life hacks?

    @holyspiritleads2truth You cant do it all. Accept it. Your house will not be spotless for many years. But also I've seen SAHMs houses and they aren't clean either- living in a house all day makes so it much messier than leaving it for 9 hours a day! When you have small kids you're gonna have...

    those who don’t live near family: how do you spend your vacations?

    @thedude2011 https://www.coulterfarmstead.com/ We found them on AirBNb but you can also book direct. Don't sleep on that frozen dinner from the general store, it was SO good I still think about it.

    those who don’t live near family: how do you spend your vacations?

    @1stjohn0666 My oldest is almost 7. Both our families live out of state. I'm struggling to come up with any examples of vacations that didn't involve visiting some family in that time. We've been to a few destination friend weddings (3 in 7 years I think), but that's a long weekend here or...

    How often do you have date night with your partner?

    @jcano Pretty much we don't. Our last date night was June 2021. My parents were in town for a weekend so my husband and I went out to dinner. All our family lives out of state and honestly my husband and I find it hard to do solo bedtime for our three kids, so I wouldn't put that on a...

    What are your "do it all" life hacks?

    @christiansworldwideweb We didn't come up with that sleep n play hack until our third kid. It is the best. Clean PJs every night, diaper change in the am and zip em right back up. Simplified laundry too.

    Car seat configuration 3-wide

    @aphgoo This is exactly it. 3.5y is old enough to turn around and should be old enough to buckle themselves. Then you can reach from the front seat to tighten. I originally thought I could lift the bucket seat over the outboard seat, but they are bigger than they look and there wasn't enough...

    What are your "do it all" life hacks?

    @jamesmason10 This sounds like a senior design challenge for an engineering school. 🤣 After years of vacuuming stairs with a big vacuum I finally got a stick vac and it's the best. We got the Ryobi so it runs off my husband's drill batteries of which we have like 8 lying around so I never have...
