I've found that we're pampers purists, after trying all available name/store brands, it just seems like pampers works best for little G. And of course, they seem to be the most expensive diaper brand and not available at Costco, sigh.

How did/do you save money on diapers? Did you subscribe to Amazon Mom? I have concerns b/c it says "save 20% on SELECT diapers and wipes" - so if the discount isn't available on pampers, I'm not sure it's worth it for us.

We don't use wipes b/c of G's sensitive bum, we use wet paper towels, so I'm really only interested in the diapers part.

If you didn't/don't use Amazon Mom - how have you saved money on diapers?

TIA!

Here we go again!

So next time I complain I need to remember this!  She asked if I needed anything else done and I said no, just to play with H, but my confession is I may be making a list for tommorrow.

I'm amazed they've settled already.

If you are looking to get out this week St Sebastian's festival on McKnight/Siebert Road has started.  6:30-10 every night & Saturday; 11 pm on Friday.  They have rides, games, food booths, flea market & best of all... farmers market.  Good cheap produce & veggies.  I'll admit parking is a pain but options are the Holiday Inn and walk across (there is a path), or offsite shuttle service at the old Chi Chi's.

I suppose its his way of communicating but he also points at what he wants and makes those questioning sounds like  "heh, eh, huh" so he knows what to do when he wants something.  I can't figure this one out.  I am telling you its unbelievable. I'll admit, I've covered his mouth on more than one occasion with my hand when we are in public.  And its not just when he's upset, its all the time.  He can be happy doing it too.    So if you have had experience, please tell me he grows out of it and quick!

I was originally going to wait until 6 months to start solids but E wants to do it sooner, so while we have sometime to discuss I was wondering what your kids liked/loved/dispised? What brands did you like better then other?

Should I buy a baby bullet, beabo ( that thing from babies r us) or maybe use baby food making ot get a a new fancy schmancy food processer?

I wanted to start him on peas, however his father already let him munch on some watermelon.

H is 17.7 lbs and 22.5 inches.

DH and I are in a constant battle with wanting to make our kids happy in life, but without spoiling them. It's a tough balance!

We're currently in the "let's play 200 silly questions" today, but he doesn't want to listen. As a background, DS was diagnosed with a mild form of ADHD last year (the hyperactivity and attention deficit spectrums mainly). As he's matured, we've seen a great improvement, but now seem to have taken a step back in the past few weeks.

I think my breaking point was when I asked him to get me the "green towel from the bathroom sink" and he came back with the brown towel from the kitchen sink. In retrospect, it's a minor detail, but this is just part of a series of lack of listening issues we are having. (Like me telling him not to touch something in the store 5x and then physically pulling him away from the object as he continued to bang it.)

I'm nervous for Kindergarten and him not listening to the teacher - which will, inevitably, get him into trouble. Help?

In your opinion, would something like this (the one in the middle) look good on our house?

It has also been 8 years since I've gone to an amusement park so I hope my opinion has changed a little bit.  I'm excited for kid-free time with my DH though!

 Any input would be great, Thanks!

tonighgt - pizza and laundry!

Saturday - finish up H's nursery  and grocery shop, more laundry.

Sunday - Breakfast, south park for a while and then just chill at home.

Our RE has two listings currently.  Listing A - Our TH, Listing B - SF in the same school district.

We had an open house this past Sunday.  3 groups came through.  Feedback from one of the groups is that they would love to buy our house but they would never qualify for what we are asking.

Now we come to yesterday.  We finally got our stake in the yard sign so I let our RE know it arrived.  So here we are, cleaning up from dinner and notice that the temp sign is now across the street leaned up against our neighbors trash cans.  So I call the RE to tell her what is going on.  She proceeds to tell me that she is across the street talking to our neighbors and that she will stop over in a few.

She stops over and tells us that our neighbors, who have only been in their TH since January, are lookig to sel their house and buy her other listing.  I then proceed to say (kidding around).. "Oh yeah we thought they wanted to buy our house.." She then proceeds to say that they would love to buy our house if they could afford it.

So after the conversation, we now think that the one couple that came through on our house was our neighbors and after talking with them she mentioned her other listing (which is listing at <50,000 then ours) and they are putting a continigent offer on the other listing based on selling their house.

Now we are concerned that she is going to benefit more from the sale of their house because she will then sell listing B in turn. 

My husband is beyond furious about this.  I am annoyed and hurt some but I realize that selling home  etc. is how our RE makes a living so I can not slight her for taking them on as clients and listing their house.  I just want to make sure she still working for us.  So far in the 2 weeks of listing we have had 4 showings and 3 groups through at the open house.  I know we should talk with her first but how would you feel?  What would you do?

I think I will mention to her how I feel and make her know that if we feel in the slightest that she isn't working for us, I would not hesitate to ask for another agent or even go as far as taking our house off the market.  We aren't in a serious rush to move.. we don't already have our next home. 

I have my 2 boys and it has been so hot lately. I wish we could go jump in our apartment pool.  But I can't do that alone with both kids and since we do live in an apartment I dont have access to a hose to just let them run around under.  They love playing in water though...I'm sure they miss their water table that we left at grandma's house because we moved into the apartment.

Edit- I'm Right off 376 in Forest Hills.
