The map of Westeros/the free cities is a great touch!!
I would not include that in a birthday invite. I do keep a wish list on Elfster that all our families can access so that grandmas have a running list of what the kids would really love, but I don’t share it outside of family. I usually do no-gift parties and pray that people believe me that we don’t want or need any more stuff 😂
Your daughter is learning about what behavior is acceptable and normal in a relationship by watching you and your husband. I think this is way more important than who is right about the bottle.
I used to have a hard time finding the snake, now I see snakes everywhere I look
This is what usually worked for me if you have a haakaa: mix epsom salt in warm water and fill your haakaa about 3/4 full so that you can still secure it to your boob. Massage and let the suction do its thing. Warm shower and dangle feeding helped, but this was the best.
Sorry - seriously so painful!!
My 2.5 year old looked at me over the dinner table and asked, “how your day mama?”
It really struck me how thoughtful and sweet he is
I think his like about how clay just needs to meet a good woman the way he did was SO telling and gave us so much insight into their marriage and insight into Clay. Dad (whether playfully or seriously) was really confirming AD’s fear that she was a sacrifice, a stepping stone for someone else’s growth. Very sad times see the cycle continue and the patterns repeat. I know it’s just a show but damn they had me invested and I really hope Clay walked away from this show and straight to a therapist
Oh that could be fun!! Great idea thank you! Maybe a darker green
Gorgeous!! I want to try this pattern next - can you let me know if you have any tips or tricks? This is beautiful! Love the colors you picked
Related: becoming a mom gave me some serious sensory overload issues so I also feel extra sensitive to competing noises!! Like when the dishwasher is running and the TV is on, if my husband’s phone makes noise I turn rabid
I honestly could have stopped reading after the part where your husband is drinking 12 shots of rum prior to starting “his shift” caring for your child. This is dangerous and completely unacceptable.

If they’re doing well in the crib I would not shake things up just for the heck of it - maybe buy baby #2 a crib that converts to a toddler bed and you can swap them when the timing is better or toddler is showing signs that they’re done with the crib?
I wish I had known what a horrible company Nestle is before I spent money on the Nespresso and pods! Switched to off brand pods and now finally to pour over but if I could go back I would not give nestle any $$
Possibly unpopular opinion but I think your best bet here is to be curious with your daughter - ask her questions and be open minded to what she wants.
As a teen, I would have dreaded the idea of my mom taking me for a makeover or having a professional teach me to do my makeup. I didn’t want an “older” person giving me professional makeup tips, I wanted to learn about it in magazines and experiment until I liked it.
I think nothing would have hurt my confidence quite like my mom suggesting that I need to improve my hair, my hair styling abilities, or my makeup to unlock some kind of “potential.”
Listen, I know you mean well here and I don’t fault you for it, but I think it could go a LONG way to ask your daughter what’s up and for ideas for a mother/daughter day. Some quality time with someone who loves her like you do could probably go MUCH further than a makeover. It’s important that she knows she is so much more than her appearance and that you see how special she is!

Moody! Her coloring on her face is reminding me of mad eye’s scar 🤘🏼
Need an HP name for our kitten!
