Where should I take my daughter to get ears pierced?@Black-Zebra this is good to know - THANK YOU!

Where should I take my daughter to get ears pierced?We are in the same time of life looking into this. The two spots that keep coming up highly recommended in Austin are Andy at Diablo Rojo or Shaman Modifications (both tattoo parlor like atmospheres). Although the atmosphere may not be as "kid friendly / pretty" my friend said they were WONDERFUL with kids and really took the time to make sure they were even, and are very serious about their process.
They both use super clean, sterilized needles and insert surgical-grade titanium earrings with special locking backs that are super safe.

Tongue/Lip Ties in young childrenIs your 5 year old having issues now that would make it necessary to get it corrected?
My son also has one and he’s older, but the dentist said it wasn’t necessary for us to fix specific to his case. Usually they have feeding issues as a baby, did your daughter struggle at all with breastfeeding?

Best way to lose weight and get in shape?!wellll there the non natural but seems like an easier way of ozempic (I've never tried so can't give advice) or a more natural way. I have had good success with this cleanse to kick start my eating habits and drop the first few pounds, and then I try to not drink, and continue a whole 30 diet for the month after the cleanse. It helps get those stubborn LBs off. Here is the link:

After School Nanny - do you offer things like PTO?Hi! If they are an ACTUAL nanny - yes. If they are just a college girl or out of college and more of a babysitter I don't think you would need to. We pay our nanny every week the same amount no matter if she's sick or has taken the time off.

Bedding Sheets for ME!! - Any that you LOVE??Hi! Does anyone have a bedding/sheets that they love?? In the market and looking for recommendations. I am a warm sleeper, so something that is not hot would be a PLUS!

Pediatrician - help choosing?!I wrote out a list of things that matter to me and they decided on a pediatrician from there. A few examples:
-
Approach to vaccines – Are they vaccine-friendly or follow the CDC schedule? If you have a specific approach you’re looking for (delayed, spaced, etc.), make sure they're aligned with it.
-
Who your child sees for sick visits – Some practices rotate between nurse practitioners and pediatricians. Are you okay seeing a NP sometimes, or do you want to always see the same doctor?
-
Same-day appointments – how easy is it to get in.
-
Office vibe & staff – culture!
-
Location & parking – traffic matters!
-
How they handle developmental concerns – Do they have in-house support or referrals for speech, OT, etc. if needed?
-
Communication preferences – Do they use a patient portal? Will they respond to questions over email or just phone?
A great tip: Schedule a meet-and-greet appointment (many practices offer these for free!) so you can get a feel for the pediatrician’s style and ask all your questions.

Casper Mattress?I believe that’s the Casper my girlfriend has and loves it!! I am also looking into getting it, because she raves about it so much!! She is a side and stomach sleeper (as am I, so did a lot of research and that was a top one).
One thing to note if you do get it make sure you have a box spring under the mattress and don’t directly lay it on slats. If your looking for firm, It needs a sturdy box spring or will make it feel
soft and sink into it. -
Cold lunch ideasDoes your kid like eggs? If so we do ALOT of hard boiled eggs, egg salad sandwiches. We also do chicken salad with crackers to dip. Hummus and cucumbers, peppers and pita. … sounds crazy but our all time favorite is salmon and lox on a bagel. My kids ate that 3x / week since they were 2!!

Where do you get ozempic?I get my compounded semaglutide through Grand Avenue Pharmacy for $90/mo. Check there!

Husbands says I’m not “into” sex enough…For me sex is much more enjoyable when the pressure of having it very often is off the table. If we have sex 1- 2 times / week it’s much easier for me to enjoy!! Also setting, mood , no kids all come in to play!!

Chemical pregnancyHad a blighted ovum which is a gestational sac with no fetus. Both times misoprotsol worked for me. But with the blight ovum I had to take it twice as I still had some leftover tissue after the first pill. I am sorry you are going through this. I know how it feels.
