ISO local realtor rec's (specific request)

hi OP community! my family and i currently live in la grange but are hoping to move to oak park. we have been house-hunting in the la grange area (LGP/ LG), riverside, and OP/RF, but our dream would be to move to OP. we have been using a family friend realtor who lives locally here in LG, but his knowledge of OP is limited. any recommendations for a local realtor that we could engage? not sure how this works since we've signed a representation contract with this LG realtor (which i understand is just the norm now in IL, no money has been exchanged or anything) but would really like a local opinion, especially in this market. i have access to the zenlist app and can see private lisitings in OP already, but it seems some houses sell before even hitting the private market – crazy times! any suggestions appreciated :)

help my 18m will only eat tractor wheels and yogurt melts

my toddler is such a picky eater and i'm seriously concerned about his nutritional intake and future eating habits.

we did BLW and he ate lots of things. he's allergic to eggs but was pretty into others kinds of food. as he gets older, the list of what he'll eat gets smaller and smaller. i know it's developmentally normal to some extent for toddlers to be picky eaters, but his preferences seem extreme.

here's a list of what he'll eat:

- once upon a farm tractor wheels

- once upon a farm yogurt melts

- gerber puffs

- trader joe's naan crackers

- whole wheat english muffin with butter

- dehydrated strawberries

- noodles (not always)

- quesadillas (not always)

he used to eat string cheese, fruit, chicken, turkey, cottage cheese, but now won't touch any of it.

how can i require his little brain to accept more nutritious foods???

ISO affordable supportive bras for a bigger chest post-BF (preferably wireless)

hello! new to this sub, but recommended i post here after asking about bras in a mom sub elsewhere..

i used the bra calculator and was told i'm a 36DD (US). here are my measurements in inches: 36, 35, 34, 40, 43, 40.

i have been weaned for almost 6 months after breastfeeding for 12 months, so in a moment of bravery, i decided to get re-fitted for a bra... i went from from a D cup to a G cup, according to the salesperson who measured me. this is a bit different than the calculator.

all of the "nice" bra brands with cups really dig into my arm pits, which coupled with warm weather, is causing weird rashes. i bought some cheap ones from target (auden brand) that are much comfier but still too small since i spill out the top of the DDD size and the G size seems to be constantly sold out.

any suggestions?
