Our daughter is 18 months old and sleeps in a crib. We also have a toddler-sized floor bed in her room, which is where some of her stuffed animals live. She periodically seems interested in sleeping on it (lies down), but has never actually fallen asleep. How do folks make the switch? She’s not used to co-sleeping, so lying down next to it or partly on it with her doesn’t seem to help - it mostly makes her climb on us.

I usually have my Dexcom G6 data on my Apple Watch (not direct to watch, but from my phone), but closed my Dexcom app, reopened, and now it doesn’t even show up as something that I can access on my watch. Any tips?

I have a pretty decent Thinkpad T14 with power connection issues (sometimes the power cord will plug into it properly and charge, most of the time the connection is too loose) and would love to pay someone good to do whatever needs to be done to fix that. I desperately do not want to have to buy a new laptop. Any laptop repair shop recommendations? Bonus if it's in SE but I'm willing to travel.

We have a concrete back patio and I’m thinking of installing a catio. However, I definitely want to have grass on the floor. What is the best way to do that? Laying down sod directly on concrete seems weird - some kind of flooring plus sod?

Located in the US, currently driving a 2013 Prius that's on its last legs and looking to upgrade to a car with slightly more (or significantly more) space as our family gets bigger. I'd been thinking about a used RAV4 Prime as a good option, but would be happy to go full electric if I could find something with similar passenger + cargo space. I commute ~100 miles round-trip twice a week, but otherwise our regular driving is within the city, probably less than 10 miles a day.

What do folks suggest? Hoping to stay under $35K used but we have some flexibility.

ETA: I've been contemplating the Kia EV6 or Hyundai Ioniq 5 as electric options

I see signs for them all over my neighborhood.

Hi all, I have a box-style cargo bike with a folding bench and straps to buckle in a kid that unfortunately will no longer stay tightened--when I tighten them, any meaningful pressure will loosen them again. The manufacturer doesn't make cargo bikes anymore. Any tips for replacing straps like that (including "go look at this other subreddit" or "go to your nearest cargo bike store and ask them to do a custom job")? The straps are screwed into the box using single screws with a hefty-looking bolt, but I have not tried unscrewing to see if there's anything special about the screws otherwise.

My mom gave us some super cute clothes that she got on Facebook marketplace, but some of them have definitely previously been washed with scented detergent. My husband and MIL are both super-sensitive to artificial fragrances. What’s the best way to get the smell out? We’ve already washed with a free & clear detergent and sprinkled in some baking soda for the wash - do we just keep washing?

For me, it’s always yard work, even with a snack. Really annoying, too, because usually if I’m doing yard work, it’s because I’m feeling inspired. What about you?
