HISTORY OF NATIONAL LOVING DAY

‘The freedom to marry, or not marry, a person of another race resides with the individual, and cannot be infringed by the state.’

It is hard to imagine now that there was a time when this statement wasn’t true. The opposite of this was the reality in America. Every June 12, we honor the United States Supreme Court’s 1967 decision to strike down laws in several states that banned interracial marriage. The decision was sparked by Loving v. Virginia, a court case in…

Ya'll I gotta be honest. Lately I've been having some good days. But I'm starting to feel that deep physical, mental, and emotional exhaustion where I just want to fully check out. Like in the deepest way possible I need a break. Not a week vacation, just like a couple hours without feeling rushed and not running errands. Seriously it's like someone is always fighting, screaming, or crying in my house and I'm just exhausted from it. I feel like that makes me such a bad mom because I love and ADO…

How important do you feel having a playroom is? Do you think it makes life easier or do you feel you can go without? My husband wants us to get rid of the playroom for the house we’re building since the rooms will all be pretty good sizes they can play in their rooms. He thinks a office is more beneficial for his business but Idk though. The idea of toys being all over the rooms makes my ocd kick in. I feel like no matter how clean the space is toys will always make it look cluttered. We have a …

I'm curious at what age do you think it's ok for a child to ride their bike around town?

My son is 14 & I allow him to ride around town. I realize that it is dangerous & I do worry about him, but at the same time I feel he's old enough. He has an Angel Sense gps tracker in case anything were to happen & he has an ID card with all his info & our contact info. What do you guys think? Is he too young?

The reason I'm asking is bc my son got hit by a car in a parking lot the other day. Thank God h…

My babys a wooping 29lbs 7oz and 31.5 inches long. Shes as big as a 2year old is what her dr said shes gonna be a tall one. Shes 1year old as of the 3rd. She ate some of her own cupcake. It's too cute lol. My lil stinker was standing up today by herself too💕 She's growing too fast... this momma wants to cry because she's our last baby unless it happens while I'm on birth control. She loves yelling hi to everyone that she knows but shes so quite if she doesn't know you lol. Shes doing great thou…

Breastfeeding question!
I didn’t really pump with my first but I’ve done a little pumping with my newborn this time around and have a few freezer bags. What exactly are the rules for thawing and such? Can I thaw it and if she doesn’t finish the bottle do I just leave it out and let her finish it at her next feeding (which is usually about about every 2 hours)? Do I thaw it with hot water or just warm water? Can it be shook up a bit or do I have to swirl it? I’ve seen so many back and fourth ans…

So I just ordered some compression socks for my feet because for some odd reason theres swelling around ankles. Apparently I injured them somehow by just walking/exercing or it could be from shoes. Sadly, I've ignored it for months because of pandemic. I was still able to walk and didnt think it was a real problem but the pain has lingered. Finally saw a doc and he said its the tendon or ligaments that have been impacted. Expects me to just stay in bed resting. So damn impossible when you have 2…

So my daughter has come home with a letter to join a nurturing group in school for an hour once a week which is designed for children with behavioural, emotional and social difficulties ?

Am I right to feel annoyed that I was just handed this letter in an envelope by my daughter with no communication with her teacher because I’m left confused and with questions, it was only last year she came home with an over lay and leaflets about dyslexia, it’s great Erin is receiving this support but I fee…

Ok this might be a dumb question but I’m not sure 🥴 according to my last period I should be at 10weeks
I had an ultrasound yesterday and doctor measurement me at 8 1/2 weeks
Going off my last period I have a due date of 12/31 now I have a due date of 1/10
My concern is if I am 10weeks and baby is measuring smaller that baby stopped growing and might result in a miscarriage but I heard a heart beat and baby was moving…..
Now I guess my question is is it possible to be 8 1/2 weeks? Even though…

Question time!

If someone let you use there car and they give it to you with a full tank, when you are done using it do you A give it back to them full or B just use the gas and don’t fill it back up?

Long story short my friend came to visit with her son and mom I let them use my car to go to Disney and what ever else she needed to do I gave her the car with a full tank and she gave it back to me half a tank it’s not about the money or the gas it’s the principle lol I could never do that if …

Urgent care was literally useless, the doctor practicing was like 87 years old and basically told me everything that I did was wrong. He said lukewarm baths have been proven not to work, that James not nursing was good and him not wanting to drink or eat anything was good. We got no where other than them saying he has a fever. We got home and he wanted to nurse so I let him, gave him some Tylenol and he passed out. Oh yeah, I have to take a stool sample in sometime between now and 7pm. I hope ev…

I was scheduled to go in for a cervical ripening today. I received a phone call yesterday telling me to be there at 3:30 today. I load up packed and ready to stay (my induction is scheduled for 7am tomorrow morning) and after I registered and sat down in the lobby I was called to the desk and had to talk on the phone with someone from L&D telling me to go back home that I wasn’t supposed to receive that call yesterday and they had no beds and were behind on inductions. So we drove the 45 mins ba…

This is going to be quick but just looking for opinions.

In April my sister in law mentioned she having her daughters sweet 16th June 12th, then she reminded me last month they for sure are having it and I told her we would be there, now two weeks ago my sister decided she’s making a trip here for like 3 days and is staying in her camper on my property, I told her Saturday we will be here in the morning but have to go to my in laws for a bit in the evening and her and my mom are not very happy …

Another family debate between my husband and I....

So for background anytime we travel we always bring back souvenirs for our nieces and nephews (there's 4 total). We went to Hawaii for our honeymoon, Disney, and other places over the years and we always drop $50-100 on each child and bring them back something.

Now here's the issue...My bil and his wife are taking their 3 kids to Disney next year and have been begging for Disney gift cards instead of normal gifts for birthdays and Christmas s…

Two days ago i was an emotional wreck. I brought our van in to the dealership for a diagnostic on my AC as it hasn't worked since last summer. We knew an actuator needed to be replaced but didn't know which one. My normal garage had said to find out which one and bring it back to them and they'd do the work.

So the dealership comes back saying it needed over $5000 to fix everything (some things not ac related). That did not include the tires that i knew i needed to get. I only owe $4300 on the…
