Questions:

GTKY: What are you reading right now? Separated , it’s about the children being separated from their parents at the border. I want and need to know. But it is hard, I can only read a few pages at a time or I get too upset. Especially knowing that there are 545 children that the current administration has no idea where their parents are. So they’ve orphaned 545 children.

@yellingbanana ugh that's a heavy read. It's so devastating for those families, I can't even think about it without getting emotional. I just think of my kids alone without me😭 And me without them. How will our country ever fix this horrifying mistake.

Rants/Raves: none at the moment!

Questions: for STMs/STM+s, what is your registry tool or store(s) of choice? Already starting to feel overwhelmed thinking about this 😂

GTKY: What are you reading right now? I have a book called "The Vine Witch" by Luanne G. Smith waiting in my kindle queue. I'm excited to start reading it - it got really good reviews! I needed something lighter and more whimsical because I just finished reading "If You Tell," which is a true account story from her daughters about the tortures/murders carried out by Michelle Knotek, and let me tell you, that was some heavy sh*t!

@ruby0902 I love amazons registery. Expecially since you can link in things from other sites. Also the discount they give on unpurchased items.

@ruby0902 I also like Amazon's registry and Target for stuff I want to look at in person.

@ruby0902 Back in the day, it was Babies R Us! Obviously that isn’t going to work anymore. Last time I did that and Amazon. I’ll be registering at Amazon and Target even though I’m not having a baby shower and not asking for presents. You get a discount on your items that you purchase close to your due date at Amazon (not sure about Target). Also, once you register, they throw your name into some ‘having a baby’ mailing list and you get a bunch of freebies sent to your house.

Awesome, thanks all for the recommendations 😁 I will definitely be checking out the Amazon registry!

I don’t belong in this thread, but I think I’m gonna be using Babylist. Two friends have used it lately and I really liked ordering from it. Can add gifts/import registries from anywhere, I think. Kind of like The Knot does for wedding registries.

Thanks for the info @ec1212

I have ordered from babylist twice, and each time it ends up rerouting me to the wrong store for an item even though I clicked a specific store. Also, I was ordering about 8 smaller items, like a basket, of gifts for a friend, and it took so long. I like the idea of babylist, but it drives me nuts ordering from it. And I’m totally willing to admit that it could be just me 😉
