Hey there,

Soon to be FTM here. I have been looking at buying a bottle washer/sterilizer combo (no dishwasher) and I probably need one with filters because we have hard water. They do cost a pretty penny for something that takes up a lot of space and is useful for a short period of time, and it seems like to get one that works properly, I’d have to get a more high end one. I am wondering if anyone has experience with using one of those vs just hand washing? Is the time saved worth it? Is the peace of mind worth it or just a scam? Thanks in advance.

ZM used to be my fave reactor until recently, but I can’t stand their uploads anymore. He has always had some standards which I could appreciate but lately each reaction he does seems like it’s a pain in the ass for him and he always has something better to do or somewhere to be. Gorl, this is your full time job! Didn’t they make fun of Hamboar for pretending vlogs were too much work? I feel like the reactions have gotten less funny and more stale as well. As much as I appreciate him having some boundaries as to how he interacts with the gooorls, it seems like his moral grand standing has been taken to another level. Gorl, you’re a snark reaction channel, just like the lolcows you can choose to log off any time too instead of bitching about how low the other reactors sink (don’t get me wrong, some of them cross the line for sure). It seems like he’s done with GW but not the easy pay check that comes from being a reactor. Is it just me or are there any other former fans that feel this way?

Does any of you lovely mamas/mamas to be have experience with brands that do plus size nursing bras? I was specifically looking at those Hatch all-fabric crossover nursing bras but they don’t come in larger sizes. I know Knix has some options but not that style, has anyone tried that brand? Or any other options you liked? Thanks in advance.

I love My Thots and wish she would do GW reactions. I mean she’s not that far off with 90 day fiancé and love after lockup. I was recently watching Edvasian and was surprised by a reference to Deedee Mega Doodoo. Is Edvasian…a gorl? Anyway, who are some of your faves/most surprising secret gorls on the internet?

Hi there,

We are looking to replace the metal roofs on our home and a couple buildings on our property. We’ve heard great things about local Mennonite roofers, including from our own neighbours. But the gentleman who did theirs seems to have retired. Does anyone have any experience hiring Mennonite roofers (or non Mennonite, as long as they do a good job and don’t charge an arm and a leg) and can recommend one? Thanks in advance.

I have been looking for Canadian made baby clothes and accessories made of purely natural materials (wool, linen, organic cotton, etc). Things like wool diaper covers, sleep sacks, things like that. Having a hard time finding any companies or makers in Canada. I found one company that looked lovely but they used bamboo. Does anyone happen to know any companies, big or small, that make natural baby clothes? Preferably in Canada, if not at the very least a Canadian company. I was looking at companies like woolino but would rather spend my money with a Canadian company or Etsy seller. If you have any experience, I would appreciate your input. Thanks in advance.

Sorry if this is repetitive, I’m new on here. I keep seeing posts about inductions being standard procedure for plus size pregnant mamas. I’m not sure if this is a US thing (I am located in Ontario, Canada) or standard practice all over the world. I am also using a midwife, not an OB, and am hoping to have an unmedicated birth. I am just wondering if any of the mamas here have any experience with using a midwife and unmedicated birth at a larger size (and possibly older age- I will be 36 when I give birth)? this is my first and out of the few friends I have who have had babies none of them are plus sized. I will still be doing it at the hospital out of caution, but am hoping everything goes well and I don’t need too much medical intervention beyond my midwife.

Hi there! I know this is very specific but I am looking to buy a pair of fur or fleece lined beaded moccasins that are either made by an indigenous maker or indigenous-owned line. I would love something well made and little higher end. One problem I am having is there seems to be too many brands, specially on websites like Etsy, and it’s hard to know if you’re buying from a real person or a drop shipper. If you have any recommendations/experience you could share that would be great! Thanks in advance!
