I wish Instacart was a little more transparent with how much it adds to the price of each item so I knew exactly how much I was paying because I don't want to go to Costco on a weekend.

I don't know why parents complain about reading the same book. I love it. Book is memorized, performance decisions have been made, 100% on auto pilot.
Sure kid, let's read Daniel Tiger bath time for the 100th night in a row. It's a beautiful night in the neighborhood.

It is very weird to me that the new baby coos and babbles. Every time she makes a noise I assume she's about to start crying because that's how my oldest was.
But no, this baby just likes to hang out and talk.

Newborn babies will often stop crying when you bounce them up and down. One theory is that there is so much sensory input that they just forget to cry. So it serves as a reset.
And that's why I bounce my newborn while chanting "etch-a-sketch brain, etch-a-sketch brain".

It's finally time! Trans girl scout cookies!
Trans kids are under attack nationwide. The Girl Scouts has accepted trans girls and non-binary kids for years now. Let's make the lives of some trans scouts a little bit better and get tasty cookies to boot.

Life with a two year old is a series of jingles from Daniel Tiger.

They say it's difficult to overfeed directly breastfed infants because they have to work for the milk, unlike with bottles.
I think about that a lot as I watch my boob spray my child in the face.

Lye based soap will break down the polymerized oil that forms the coating.
Dawn dishwashing liquid isn't going to hurt it.
You'd have to put a lot of effort into finding a soap that would hurt your cast iron.
Myth: You can't use soap.
Actually, You can use mild dish soap to clean cast iron. The seasoning on our cast iron is fairly resilient and can withstand a little bit of soap, water, and a good scrub.

Practical tips for a newborn, from a second time Mom:
- When you are in the hospital, ask your nurse not to wake you up for meds at night. You can say you'll call them, which makes sure they come when you're up with baby anyway and not when you've just fallen asleep.

- sleep when the baby sleeps applies to bedtime more than naps. The first stretch of sleep for the night is often the longest and this continues to be true for the first year+
To maximize consecutive hours of sleep you now go to bed when the baby does, and that's early evening.
