I just got back with my son, who is 2.5. It was rough, I'll be honest. The Good -We rented a full size crib from A Baby's Best Friend, since they mostly had Pack n Plays. That saved us quite a bit. -We stayed at a monorail resort which also saved us. When we needed to escape, we were able...

We will be staying at the Contemporary in a month with our 26-month-old. I'm not sure how tall he is (he is under the 15th% for height), but I'm guessing he is about 30 lbs. He is.....an active boy. Every morning when I go to get him, he is literally jumping in his crib like it is a trampoline...

...or life is a lot more complicated now that I have to fit a family of 5 in a room. This is our first trip as a family of 5. My husband is pretty staunchly pro-monorail resort, specifically the Polynesian. One daughter is pretty snobby, as well. All I can think of is all of us hiding in the...

I paid a butt-ton of a money for one of the services to come to my house when my kids got lice (and then I got it from them). She taught me a lot. It isn't about killing the bugs. They die if they don't feed in 24-48 hours anyway. 20 minutes in a dryer on high, overnight in the freezer, or...

It's called a "humblebrag" nowadays. :rotfl: I'm one of those fatties that people complain about and I can assure you that the nurses and doctors get plenty of digs in about weight. You may not always hear about them but I'm sure she's experienced them. The irony for me is that I get 200...

I got my occupational therapy degree in 1997 and have worked in almost every setting you can work in! It's really hard work but I always loved my job. I worked primarily with adult patients in traumatic brain injury, stroke, spinal cord injury, and multiple trauma diagnosis units but I've also...

At 38 years old, I must be old because I never wear just my sports bra to exercise in, not even when the temperature is over 100*. Of course, the whole debate seems a bit biased against those of us with bigger "girls". My snuffer doodle is very definitely not a "sports top"; it has cups...

I'm from Michigan originally but lived in Chicago for 9 years. I've lived in Central Massachusetts now for 5 years. From Michigan, I miss good produce. Michigan grows some many good things: cherries, apples, strawberries, blueberries, corn, asparagus, celery, peaches, tomatoes. Even...

I have no useful advice to offer you put I wanted to say what a good idea it was to stay positive and work on the things you can change, instead of waiting around for him to change.:hug:

The disappearance of Diamond and Tionda Bradley, which was the big case one year when I lived in Chicago. The press was so cruel to their mother and then the case just fell off the radar.http://chicago.cbslocal.com/2012/07/06/11-years-since-disappearance-of-tionda-and-diamond-bradley/ The...

Or, in my case, peel the paper back and then chuck the can across the kitchen, hoping it the impact will cause it to open. I'm such a wimp. I'm afraid of way too many things, but my top three are: Zombies Flying Horseshoe Crabs I'm so mad that movies nowadays that show zombies as...

You didn't read the part where I said he had two 10+ year partners? The woman whom we referred to as his 2nd (common-law) wife was almost 11 years. The woman whom we referred to as his 3rd (common-law) wife was was 16 years, until he died.

My parents split when I was 3 (my siblings were 5, 16, and 17). My parents were both 36 at the time of divorce, and they'd been married for 17 years.My father was a hard-drinker who wasn't much of a husband. I only have one memory of them being married. After the split, my dad cleaned up...

My husband is on a medical school admissions committee and he says absolutely nothing below 3.5.

My kids are 5 and 7 and this is the first year they are both in full-day school, and I am still at home. Part of it is that my husband works 80+ hours a week, rotating shifts and he cannot contribute anything to the household. There just has to be someone here to keep the family afloat. I...

We're leaving on Saturday to stay 7 days at the Poly. We're landing at around noon and taking Magical Express in. I know our luggage will show up long after we do, so I'm packing what's necessary in the carry-ons. All necessary medications. Contact lenses and supplies Swim suits and goggles...

Realize that you annoy the other person just as much as they annoy you.

I've been chubby my entire life. I learned emotional and disordered eating at my mother's knee and have struggled with it always. I've lost lots of weight, gained it back, tried every weight loss program available, developed an eating disorder and needed a lot of help to get through it. All...

We'll be taking DD4 and DD6 for their first visit in May. I know there will be lots of "Can I get that?" "That's the best thing ever...PLEASE can I have that?" I think it would be good to have a set policy on the way we'll handle souvenirs to cut down on the begging. A.) Refuse all...
