Before getting pregnant I thought everything would be fine and was so excited. During my pregnancy I was nervous my baby wouldn't make it. With baby 6 mo old I feel better but am reconsidering wanting more kids, I don't know if my heart could take a loss. After seeing videos of pregnancy or shortly after birth losses I feel spared and don't know if I want to risk loss by having another later even though I know the chances are low.

My husband and I disagree on screen and video game time.

I grew up in a minimal screens no video games family. After having our son (6 mo) my view on my husband's usage has changed. My way would be only having the TV on after baby is asleep and limiting video games to after dinner and family time or weekends, when baby's older doing a weekly movie night. I'm also frustrated with what streaming services are doing/charging and would cancel all of them if it was my decision.

I am trying to limit my time to when he is napping or asleep for the night. He only gets screen time if I need a break on a tough day, he wants attention and I'm trying to make dinner, or we're facetiming grandma. I do my best to make screens the last resort.

My husband grew up in a gaming family. Screens are the first resort to calming our son when he's spending time with him. He plays games almost constantly: in the morning before work, at work during down time, lunch break, before dinner, and up until bedtime. We typically have some show playing during dinner.

I feel like technology is causing some family separation and I don't think its healthy to this extent. I'm trying to have dinners outside and go on a nightly family walk before he plays video games for the evening. Is there anything I can do to get him more onboard with limited screens?

I only sell soap for Christmas right now but want to make soapmaking a bigger part of my earnings and was wondering what other vendors do outside of Christmas. Do you have any different products or seasonal fragrances? Do you only sell during the holidays?

I posted a couple months ago about starting a community garden and beds are finally in progress. Some of my plants are almost ready to transfer to beds but I don't want them to immediately get eaten. I can't spend a ton of money on supplies to protect plants but don't want to waste my progress.
