New to embroidery, some baby gifts for friends of mine, all having girls

2 due this summer, 1 due this fall, and mine (soon to be announced) due this winter. All girls 💕

Mine is the last one to make this week and will probably be deep blue, bright blue and white flowers with a bumble bee.

Planning to give these gifts to the friends and announce my pregnancy with saying I have a matching one for my daughter :)

Fingers crossed for my ultrasound this week! 🤞

Any suggestions on how to avoid the 'baby tax"

First time mom to be, were starting our research on products and I get ao frustrated on the markup of some of these products.

Like why would a change mat be over $100 or $150, its probably $0.50 in materials and its not exactly a technical design.

Wondering what products you have found the less expensive baby-alternatives for. I.e. instead of a 'stroller' fan a 'portable fan with grip'.

I know some products will be a baby essential. I tried seeing about baby monitor alternatives but it seems like the features built into baby monitors actually differ enough and make sense. I should be able to nab some hand-me-downs and somethings I will buy used (like-new and can be cleaned / wiped down effecitevly, but not things like a car seat because I want to be sure of the quality and safety).

But where have you be able to find the baby-alternatives and avoid the markup?

3y/o triceraptops birthday cupcakes (very amateur)

I was asked to bring dessert for a BBQ today and its also turning into a mini birthday party for a 3 year old boy who loves dinosaurs.

​

I was feeling apprehensive about this BBQ because the little boys mom is heavily pregnant and Ive had a lot of complicated and ancious feelings around other moms to be since my pregnancy loss at 21 weeks last year. Decided to suck it up and reframe this as practice for when its my own kiddo and making cakes and cupcakes for their birthdays.

​

I used Sally Baking addiction for the cupcakes, and simple vanilla buttercream frosting.

Plot #23

You start outside at a simple hunters cabin in the hills and lovely views. A pet stable and target archery keep the hunter-theme going. Inside is a entryway and place to put your gear, living room, office (with pet bed), kitchen and breakfast nook. Upstairs a loft bedroom and small ensuite, and in the rafters youll find Gary. Theres a door up to the attic space with another cozy office / reading area and fireplace with a secret...

Back down to the breakfast nook - behind the bookcase you will find a tunnel that leads under the mountainside to a NE area inside the cave. Follow the waterfalls up, under the top waterfall to the portal.

Port through the portal to the guild hall. Drop your weapons off, or pick weapons up for raid and proceed through to the guild officers meeting and GMs office. The world map is perfect centerpiece for plotting. If you were to use the fireplace secret entrance in the office this is where you would end up.

After meetings are done head into the pub and enjoy some drinks. The pub has tiny kitchen, and there's backroom poker / euchre table (hearts is trump). Upstairs is a larger table for groups, and a small bedroom with healing essentials incase raid was particularly gruesome.

More to do! More decor to collect, more xp to grind, but she's coming together!

Is anyone else having issues with housing xp not updating from endeavors?

I’ve been running into this consistently. The tracking itself is already glitchy and I often have to close and reopen the housing ui just to get progress to update. But the bigger issue is that even when things do complete, I’m not getting any XP or rewards

did a legacy raid, killed 6 bosses and only got credit for 5, after 5/5 boss kills showed as complete eventually, but no xp or rewards

did the neighbourly endeavor hit 100/100 (had to keep refreshing the ui by opening and closing the housing interface to get it to update) but my xp didn’t move at all

how much xp have i missed out on and not noticed?!

even if it worked perfectly… whos idea was it to run around picking up 100 twigs for 50 XP (with diminishing returns) and think it was a good time. its ass.
