18 months wanting to learn more

hi everyone! my son is 18 months old & he is showing a lot of interest in wanting to LEARN!! he loves reading. we wake up: and he immediately brings me a book to read to him. we read during the whole day when we are home here & there. we usually read 4 books before bed as well. we have flash cards as well that he did great with, but he’s a bit wild and we have lost like half of them 🥲
i’m wondering what i can start with him to help introduce more of the alphabet, words, sounding out letters etc. numbers? anything! he seems super interested but I just would like some guidance what’s age appropriate that i can do / buy. thank you!

learning at home for toddler

hi! my toddler 18 months old, we read about 4 books every night before bed. we read first thing in the morning & all throughout the day too if we are home (he loves to read) is it ok to read multiple books before sleep? i know reading before bed is good, but should i stick to one or two? he insists on multiple lol
also: any advice on how to start phonics at home with an 18 month old? i really would like to start going above and beyond than just reading books & trying to sound out words!! thank you (:

how do you deal not getting along with you SIL? (if you don’t)

Hi! i honestly am just over this whole situation and need to vent.
my husband and I moved to where my family is, but we moved a little closer to his family. (my family is 20 minutes away, his is 40ish). his family never makes the effort to come see us, or come see our child. I constantly am the one who is reaching out, figuring out plans, going over to his moms, etc.
anyway, he has one sister (& a lot of brothers). i really thought we had a pretty good relationship (despite her saying I was “taking him away” and how he only spent time with me when we first started dating years ago..)
she is quite younger than us, but an adult. i really worked on having a relationship but I feel like no matter what I do, i’m always coming up short.
We split our holidays with our families & try to make an effort to see both families and make everyone feel special. this year we decide to just stay local for the holiday. I then received a message from his sister saying that what are we doing with plans & we only ever see my family.
i’m honestly tired, i answered kinda snapping back and feel like now our relationship is just kinda in a grey area. but honestly im tired of her always nit picking everything about me, my parenting (she’s not a parent yet), analyzing my social media & reporting things to my husband that she didn’t like about my socials, always making commmets about MY family.
im just over it. i was hoping our families could come to a point where they could be close together all as well, but i don’t think this will ever happen.

NWI tornado question july 17

hi everyone!! i need help with where my little family should go tomorrow.
we live in Malden Indiana which is the edge of Kouts Indiana. we had the big tornado last week that barley missed our house but thank god it did.
anyway, with this tornado tomorrow i’m not sure where to stay. we live in malden like i said, and we are in one level house, our safe space is an interior small closet.
On the other hand, my parents live in Valparaiso, near portage indiana. they have a bi-level and their safe space is the bathroom down there.
where should my family go? i truly am trying to read all the scans to see if we are in the safer area or my parents, and i don’t know if our house is safer or theirs. please any help I appreciate it so much.

new to this! - pricing Q

hi everyone! i have made charcuterie boards for all family occasions & parties. now being a SAHM, i have tried to create a small side hustle out of it. I post on facebook about my services but haven’t specified pricing yet, thinking I was pricing too low at first.
I have my first client who is wanting 2 large charcuterie boards (she said one meat board, and another caprese board).
this will be my first hired event. how much should I charge?? it is for a small baby sprinkle.
