I am a small business owner and I make items using flannel fabric. Right now I am using Mammoth Flannel by Robert Kaufman because I really love the quality and color options. In the past I have used Plaiditudes (sp?) from Joann's, but have unfortunately run out. I am looking for quality flannel fabric that will hold up to frequent use and is no more than $14 a yard and has lots of plaid color options.

I am also looking for a wholesale option that would cost less per yard. Robert Kaufman has the option for wholesale, but I am looking to move away from the company at this time. So any wholesale recommendations would be appreciated as well!

Hi! Im a sahm of a 4.5 year old (f). She's generally fairly well behaved and an awesome kid. Very fun and honestly too smart for her own good, and definitely has lots of energy. The trouble is she will immediately want to change activities if whoever is playing with her seems to be enjoying it, and it's the strangest thing. We used to color, paint, and play with play doh at our dining table for hours, and my daughter loved it, and so did I. Now she'll either refuse any arts and crafts time or she'll play for a minute then start demanding I play something else. Especially if I'm coloring too.

​She will ask me to play a game with her and if I show enthusiasm at all she'll move on to something else. Last night we were playing a video game together (that she asked to play!) and within 5 minutes of starting she was standing directly in front of me "mixing potions" and said "oh sorry am I blocking the tv?" First of all, the sass level was turned up to teenager out of nowhere. Second. If she wanted to play potions why didnt she just ask to play potions instead?

She does the same thing to her dad as well. If we show preference for a game, or activity she'll want something different. Especially if it's something we've complained about. Like not wanting to sit on the floor in her room ti play monster trucks because it's uncomfortable, that's the thing she wants most. So we started sitting on the floor on pillows playing monster trucks with her in the mornings, and having a blast (those Monster Jam trucks are super cool) and suddenly she doesn't want to play monster trucks anymore.

Is this normal for her age? Is this a behavior I should be trying to correct? Im not sure if it's just that she's trying to get more direct attention, or if this is a kind of adhd related issue. (Not diagnosed, but her dad and i both have been since we were children so we feel pretty confident in assuming).

She starts preschool in August half days and I'm concerned her behavior will be problematic at school. Though I will say that we take her to the park and the library frequently and she does really well playing with other kids.

Am I overthinking this?
