Try to keep it natural if you can I tried.

I saw a woman do a water birth and said it felt great, blew my mind!

Daughter was natural,both stepkids had to be cessarian after hours of trying natural. Same with my stepdaughter too,she had to go cessarian.

Unfortunately i had to have the meds,i had excruciating back labor

That was also prior leading up to years later having spinal surgeries too,so made it worse.

Honestly i don't remember @missliterallywho

She is 21 now,so hopefully down the road i will have more grandkids from her,help carry the line.

Yes it is @missliterallywho

Ya,your crafting stuff will take a back seat for a couple years.

You better have it ready! Lol😉

I miss that Cali weather. Florida’s been like mid 90s with hellacious humidity lately!

Oh wow,no car seat yet? That was 1st priority i always made sure to get grandkids & daughter. Not easy with bowling ball in 85 heat lol😂

Just saw this on twitter!

Anyone read any of the Tuttle Twins books... I have a few and want a parents perspective on them.

I like them for explaining in simple terms complex economic topics...but have any of you had experience with educational material like this?

I haven’t heard of those but definetly looks interesting. The most recent book we have read as a family with my two oldest kids is a book by a retired navy seal named jock I willink. The title of the book is way of the warrior kid. It is an excellent book.

Marc had a terrible year in fifth grade: he can’t swim or do pull-ups, doesn’t know his multiplication tables, and is being terrorized by school bully Kenny. But Marc’s uncle Jake, a Navy SEAL, will be spending the summer with Marc and his mother, and once he arrives, he begins training Marc to be a “Warrior Kid.” The training is both physical and mental, and chapters are dedicated to principles such as living by a code, early morning workouts, and discipline (“Discipline equals freedom” screams one page in giant capital letters). Marc embraces his uncle’s guidance, gets stronger, and starts sixth grade confident and able, even standing up to and reaching out to Kenny in a too-neat conclusion. Willink, a leadership instructor and retired SEAL, places worthwhile emphasis on physical activity, mental sharpness, and hard work. But Marc’s dismissal of his mother’s ability to help him because, “a lot of the time it seems she just doesn’t understand me” (in part because “she works a ton”) is a disappointing stereotype, and Bozak’s b&w line drawings don’t add much to the boy’s journey. More treatise than fully developed story. Ages 8–12. (May)

This might be a really dumb idea, but I was thinking the other day about the state of children's media. It's all very promoting of negative traits and multicultural society.

Would making kids books be a nice idea? We could use old stories of European heroics like Siegfried and the dragon. Some simple art and I bet it would be desirable.

Amazon has a kids book designer app. Draw pictures, scan them. drop in text, and it it’s good to be published.

@micbwilli I think it would be great. I mostly re use books from my childhood for my kids. But something new and fresh would be great.

We badly need something like that. It would be an excellent business opportunity for someone whos a good writer

This is adorable:

Tbf, that was an extremely ugly wall decoration

It's an "R"

Children's books are a great idea, I have also thought about this for quite some time. Currently at least one wonderful gal is undertaking a project in the folklore genre . She has a fundraiser, it was posted above by Grossly Incandescent. https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/launch-kinder-tales-european-culture-for-kids-books#/

Carolyn Emerick's project, I believe...

I homeschool, so I have had a lot of experience so far with sifting thru poz and finding good books.

especially this year as we are starting History. I am going to reference March of the Titans by Arthur Kemp ( history of the White race) alongside the more mainstream 'Story of the World'
