does anyone have any favorite steak recipes?
OK dumb question… BUT WHAT IS A SERUM?! They all seem to come in tiny bottles and I haven’t tried one yet. Where do you put it on your face? do you rub it all over? Why are they different than a cream or topical whatever
just have to vent. my birthday was last week and in order to not end up disappointed I told DH exactly what I wanted – cards and the opportunity to blow out a candle with the kids. well he delivered on the cards (which i’m pretty sure he purchased and filled out the day before), but not on the second part because according to him he did his best given that he is currently working like crazy. yes – he is working like crazy on a big project at work but it was his choice to wait until the day before to get the cards and is it that hard to stop on the way home or run out at lunch and pick up a cupcake or something. i will concede that i do have a history of ending up disappointed on occasions, but that is part of why i asked for something so simple i didn’t even think could be messed up. i think part of what upsets me the most is that DH truly thinks that just getting me a card was good enough and i should be happy with that given his demands at work
Can anyone tell me if this sounds like normal toddler behavior or might be a sign of sensory issues? My 15 month old absolutely hates having her nails cut, hair washed and (to a lesser degree) having sunscreen applied and clothes changed. She also hates anything touching her head and will immediately remove any kind of hat we try to put on her (we got some funny looks this past winter). I mentioned it to my ped and he brushed it off as normal toddler behavior, but her resistance to these activities is much more intense than what I’ve seen from friends toddlers. When we’re not trying to do one of these things, she’s generally happy and easy-going and she’s super affectionate (loves giving hugs and kisses) and seems to be developing typically.
We tried to have my 2.5 year old nap on a cot instead of her crib the other day because she is getting to be too big for a packnplay for our upcoming vacations, and it was a DISASTER. Two hours of yelling, getting up and down, banging on the door, etc. At this point I’m terrified of the day when she’ll be too big for the crib- will she ever sleep again!?! She eventually collapsed from exhaustion but it was such a waste of an afternoon. How do other kids make this transition? I will add when I asked at daycare how she does sleeping on the cot there they were like, “she does great! goes right to sleep!”
Tips when you are “stuck” in your current role at work? I’ve been in my role for about 4 years, have great work/life balance, and basically don’t have any room for growth past what I’m doing.
I’m shadowing/learning in a different department, have a few really crappy stretch projects, and this is all after multiple conversations and proposals with my boss.. It doesn’t help that despite being on the leadership group of my department, I don’t optically seem as high-up as my peers.
I’m finding it harder to be productive because I’m so bored. We are relocating at year-end/early 2020 so I’m starting my job search shortly for a role in new city, but looking for ways to actually be productive and feel engaged in my current work.
Happy belated birthday! I’m sorry you are disappointed. My husband is wonderful in so many ways but he does not care about his own birthday AT ALL, which extends to not understanding the fuss over my birthday or anyone else’s. I have learned that this is just something he is not good at and that if I want a birthday celebration, I need to plan it myself.
Ugh, about 1/3 of the invitations to my baby shower have not reached their destinations yet, and it’s been two weeks since they were sent out. Who knew the mail was so bad?!
the issue with the BOB strollers – does anyone know what years/models have the issue?
