For Maggie and Belles joint bday party, I’m making nature themed wands, felt drawstring punches, and a small felt bee or ladybug stuffy for party favors. I figure they’ll be fun to play with at the party and be favors that parents won’t hate to receive?

My toddler is such a tomboy. She sleeps with a garbage truck and a dump truck in her crib 😂

Do I lose my crafty mama status if I say I freaking hate embroidery?

AI is this “revolutionary” tech and its main/most profitable utility is scamming you. Spiritually Indian tech.

Why does no one ever go outside anymore? It’s like 55 and there’s not a soul at any park in town. It’s always like this. Do people just stay inside all day everyday??

“Insurance cost passed onto consumers” literally gfys kids are going to be in stores whether they have little carts or not, and how is this small cart causing accidents in the store? Absolutely absurd, go be a bitter kid-hater somewhere else.
@rayengroves Its teaching consumerism, and it makes shopping a PITA for parent and strangers in store. Store insurance will go up w/ accidents in store, w/ child tripping adults in store. Terrible marketing idea, insurance costs passed on to consumers

All the farm/feed stores & hardware stores have toddler carts. I never have a negative interaction, ppl constantly stop me and tell me how blessed and lucky I am. The owner of the ice cream shop always throws in an extra free scoop bc I remind her of her and her kids years back

Every day I realize more n more how blessed I am to live in a town that loves kids. Was just at the hardware store and an older gentleman bought Belle a little watering can, the clerks at the thrift shop sneak her candy, local quilt store owner begs to hold Maggie when we go in

My Maggie is such a pal. Everywhere we go she smiles her 10000 watt smile at everyone and charms every man woman and child she meets. Her default emotion is joy. I hope she never changes

Theoretically I could like… buy linen sheets from eBay and dye them to make a bunch of dolls… right?

My life is super normie for the most part and sometimes on certain days it just hits me how awful my mom was and how she feels like a completely different species and it takes everything I have not to hate her bc motherhood is a sacred duty and she threw it away and spit on it

The reason I crash out regularly about my kids being highly sensitive and high needs is bc their crying is agonizing to me and I am overwhelmed trying to make the days easier for everyone… and my mom literally conspired to put me in jail like wtf

The older I get the less I understand my mom. I’m agonizing over how to get an hour or 2 to myself without my daughter crying so hard she makes herself sick and my mom full on abandoned every kid she had. I just don’t get it

Realizing there’s no way I can use the YMCA’s childcare bc Maggie won’t even stay with her dad 20 minutes without crying so hard she gets sick. I just want to get into shape, why is this so fucking hard

Trying to figure out how to get steps in with a toddler that will not ride in a stroller and finds walks boring and makes the experience awful for everyone by tantruming. I thought it would be better once she figured out the balance bike but alas

Inside every figure skater is 2 wolves. One skates to depressing avant garde artsy music that no one enjoys and the other skates to Kung Fu Panda or Shakira

I just want Maggie’s separation anxiety to calm down. The past month has been so draining. I’m also not feeling well and if my husband tries to take her so I can rest she cries till she throws up. This is so awful
