Does anyone let lo nap in a swing? We got a new swing and he has fallen asleep in it 3 times today for at least an hour each.

I do. She takes most of her naps in the swing. She pretty much sleeps anywhere though if she's tired so I don't have the energy to worry about it. She naps, I'm happy.

Exersaucer: Do I want one that LO can bounce in or do I want a stationary one with adjustable height levels?

I bought a stationary one because it was pretty. She's really happy with it so it works.

We are friends with a couple who are having are boy this fall. His name is going to be Declan (pronounced deck-lan)

Ashleypixie

We're finishing our basement and one of the many guys here unknowingly let my dog out. Scary because we just moved here and he'd never find his way home. He was gone for an hour before I even noticed, and was found by a neighbor. He looked up and noticed Baxter staring at him through a window. They played and had snacks and it was a fun little adventure. Anyway, when he got back his buddies were happy to see him and I could not resist taking this picture! The little guy is like, "please don't go away again" and the cat sniffed him and bit his ears. Love my creatures! Invisible fence installed tomorrow!!!

I got my meds switched around and a prescription for 4 bubble baths a week! Lol. I got a coffee after my session and went shopping for clothes, a journal, bubble bath and wine. I came home and made a neat distressed monogram for the patio. I'm going to go plant some flowers, now. Only way to go is up.

I have 125 posts to cath up on when my stinky baby finally takes a nap. But...
@PoppySeedWindsor‌ I totally dreamed about you and your husband last night! Yall had this very old gigantic gothic house and you opened it up for people to tour. Your very bearded husband made homemade muffins and macaroons and yall were passing them out from a fancy parlor in the house!

If you said that really happened, I never would have second guessed it

I wouldn't have second guessed it either :-)

I need some idea for wedding gifts. DH is the best man and it's for his cousins wedding so he wants a blow your socks off type gift? Anyone have any awesome ideas? I am totally clueless as I am not a great gift giver.

Cigars and a humidor?

Neighbours with pools + screaming little shits = Very annoyed Danielle.

There's a difference between yelling and jumping in the pool and SCREAMING back and forth between siblings while their parents yell at them to stop running around the pool. I'm glad they think they're the only fucking people on this block that would like to enjoy their backyard this summer...I'm inside and I can hear them clear as day.

I love hearing 'DECLAN! Declan stop it! DECLAN! Leave your sister alone! Cut that out!' *kids shrieking* all day long. Sigh

Declan? Is that a common name?

Aww I'm there with you. At least yours sounds civilized. I've just got freaking hillbillies hollerin day and night.

It means no worries...

Cheers ladies!

Is anyone planning a vacation to Portland OR this summer?? It's a great place for the family!

I want to have a bumpie date!

RedDawnsRevenge

Visit the big trees for summer! We'll meet you there!

Also dinner:

Teresa1896

I want your kitchen, @mrscrcalli‌!

We're going to pull out the rainforest jumperoo too. I hate the damn thing and it's enooooormous, but I think the Dude will like it. And I sold our swing on CL for what I paid for it, so that's awesome!

What is he into?  We did customized Louisville Slugger bats for our groomsmen and they were a hit.  DH has gotten a flask, a wallet, a nice bottle of bourbon. and probably more I can't remember as a groomsmen.  Give me more details and I'll try and find something... Work is super boring today and I love gift giving.

He's big into sports. Philadelphia Eagles and Phillies. I was thinking we could pay his portion of season tickets but it's too late. DH thought we should get them to throw the first pitch but that seems difficult. So... Idk. We want it to be family oriented and something for him and his wife to cherish forever.

Eta: quote fail

I worked for a baseball team, and getting a first pitch is actually pretty easy (at least it was for us). Call the front office and ask... Or maybe a custom jersey with his name on it? Signed ball or bat?

mrscrcalli

Amazon prime for the win, I'll have that rainforest jumparoo in 2 days! Thanks!

Thank god for hardwood. What do people with reflux babies do if they have carpet?

Come to Portland ME (the other Portland) and we'll chat ;-)

Flying to Bangor, ME tomorrow. My family is renting a cabin in Caratunk. They are already there and eating moose. I didnt know you could eat moose and why would you?

--------------

My Canadian DNA cannot compute eating a moose.



confession, I was at a larping event when someone hit a moose with their truck. We all then roasted and ate the moose.

Yeah I'm from northern NH.

Just gave DD her first bottle of formula. She has been squirmy and fussy while nursing and seems like she can't get enough since I went back to work. She loved the bottle and is zonked out harder than she ever has been. I feel bad. I hope I haven't been starving her for the last month. Worst mommy ever.

So nothing like being at your eldest nephews graduation party, tripping over an uneven patio and your own flip flops and toppling right into a lit firepit. I have 2nd and 3rd degree burns up and down my left arm, hip and leg and spent 2 days in the burn unit. So much pain. The meds they gave me make me sick as a dog too.

This whole thing is So embarrassing! I don't want to see or talk to anyone. I know they are concerned but I just feel like such an asshole. I just have to keep reminding myself it could have been so much worse. Atleast I didn't burn my hands or face! Plus this whole 4-6 week recovery time is putting a huge damper on our big move in a month and trying to find a new job. Sigh. When it rains, it freaking POURS!

And thank goodness you weren't holding your baby!! My goodness, how scary! Glad it wasn't worse. :-S I hope you have a quick recovery and that things start looking up for you!

UO: I can't stand all these food and diet fads. 21 Day Fix, Shakeology, whole this, whole that, paleo, gluten free, BLAH BLAH BLAH. Exhausting.

Totally agree (unless doing gluten free for medical reasons)! I try to go by the phrase from Michael pollan "eat food, not too much, mostly plants".. Seems like good advice
