Don't do wedding favors. They're a waste of money and usually get thrown away afterward. Silk flowers are usually much cheaper than real. You could do grocery store bunches for the bouquets and just baby's breath for the centerpieces (really cute in mason jars). DIY doesn't always mean cheaper! A lot of wholesale websites can offer up cheap alternatives.

Baby shower
My husband and I have been trying for a baby for awhile. We have over time gathered a lot. Like most things. But I still want a baby shower when the time comes. This was brought up at a get together. I was chewed out by multiple people that it was dumb and unnecessary. That a baby shower is for people who need things. I wouldn’t like make a registry or anything or expect a gift. But I would lov... More

I think the only thing you're doing wrong is sticking around those horrendous people and taking their actions to heart. Cut those ties and let it go! If you need to talk about it, get the Wysa app. It is like an interactive journal. I love it, it gets me through so much negativity I receive from others!

Christmas tree
Thinking ahead to the Christmas tree chaos ahead..... I’ll have a 13 mo walker at this point..... should I accept the fact that we will be singing “no no no” instead of Christmas carols, or skip the tree this year?

I don’t have any kiddos yet, but I nannied for a family who would wrap large cardboard boxes with a side open and then they would put the kids’ favorite toys inside of them and put them under the tree. Seemed to work well, as the kids would go toward the tree and be distracted by the toys in the boxes. Also looks cute as decor too!

Halloween for 3
Mom, Dad, and two year old girl. I’m so excited to finally dress her up and I haven’t dressed up since I was able to trick or treat. I need some ideas or help with the ones I have. I did get a bee costume for my daughter because that’s my favorite idea but I’m not sure how to make her dad into a gardener without being too “cheesy” or “much” IDEAS: Girl-bee, Mom-garden of flowers, Dad-garde...

I second Chicka Chicka Boom. Also A to Z by Sandra Bounyton is a really great alphabet book. My daughter loves that book.
What are you up to?
Anyone else hastily eating Oreos in a locked bathroom right now while you play the running water soothing sounds on your phone to convince your family you’re taking a quick shower before bed so you can have 7 minutes to yourself? No... just me? I figured. Ok.
Too scary?
My daughter is having a Plants vs Zombies themed 5th birthday party so all of her guests are somewhere between 3 (her little sister) and 6 years old. I’m making a piñata which was originally planned to be a Walnut from the game but my daughter wants it to be a zombie head instead. If you’re familiar with the game, the zombies don’t really look scary but I’m wondering if, regardless, a head hang... More
6 month old socializing
Hi mommas. I have a 6 month old boy and have been wondering how to go about getting him more socialized. He’s currently being looked after at home by his grandma while I’m at work. I guess I’m wondering with that kind of arrangement, I’ve noticed that he’s more at home because she doesn’t go out with him except for a walk around the neighbourhood. Weekends tend to be busy with errands and such.... More

We made a rule in my family cuz there are just to many kids now I have 12 about to be 13 nieces and nephews we’ve all agreed we don’t buy gifts at Christmas for each other’s kids. I buy gifts for everyone on birthdays which I spend no more than $20 a kid. We started this years ago as people would spend less or more than get upset they spent more than the other person. I feel it’s worked good.
East Coast Vacation Recommendations with a 15mnth old.
Hi everyone! I need some recommendations for good toddler friendly vacation spots on the east coast. We live in Maryland and are looking to take a little fall road trip with our 15 month old. We are having a hard time figuring out where to go that would be equally fun for the kiddo and two burnt out parents! Thanks in advance!
