I really struggle with “fake” sugars. I can live without in lots of stuff and try not to eat much with added sugar alcohol stuff but when I need it, which one has the least fake taste? I have tried monk fruit, stevia and have never liked aspartame (diet soda) type. Am I doomed? Sometimes a girl needs a lil something sweet.

Post Grocery store Edit- I tried Allulose since there was a few of you that recommended that. Winner winner chicken dinner! Thank you!!!!! I may get another one or two over time to try them out (they’re just an expensive add on)

R2D17 I did a successful w30 2 years ago and I felt great for most of it/ standard first week issues but overall o have pretty fond memories of how o felt. This time, I feel like a train wreck. I have been exhausted, my bathroom trips have been funky to say the least. I have been super moody and snappy with my family. I don’t know why it’s so different. Last time I lost 12lbs. This time I started it as a kickoff for some weight loss (I know this breaks the rules but it’s why I’m doing this round) and so far I am only down like 4-5lbs. It’s just depressing and I’m not sure it’s worth finishing out. That said, I don’t even know what I’m missing (other than wine) or would make me feel better. A

Has anyone ever done one? I am fortunate enough to be doing it in Vegas in April. I have a fancy day of spa and getting hair and makeup done also (I want to be stellar in my photo with them-it’s 23 years in the making) but I don’t know when it will be. They give a time and location 48 hours before the show but I’m worried my appointments will be all messed up.

My 23 month old son has found the wonderful toy in his pants. He plays with it often at night and so his diapers get messed up and he ends up soaked every morning. He is also a stomach sleeper, making the wetness worse. We went up a size in diapers and have been adding those pad things to them. On nights when we do one piece jammies so he doesn't have access we are fine, but going into summer those won't be an option for much longer.Suggestions? He is only just starting to take interest in the idea of the potty, so he is still a bit young for training probably.

We just found out I am pregnant again. This would put our 2 about 18 months apart. Aside from 'it's going to be hectic" I haven't seen much advice out there.

Any real suggestions on making the madness work? Any sort of schedule you and your spouse take on to team together?

We have been using a changing pad on top of the dresser, but now baby is trying to roll off and pushes his head off the pad. What do you use when they outgrow the changing table?

I lurked here for my entire pregnancy and I loved reading birth stories, so I thought I might contribute! First off, Charles!

I was due July 1st and finished working June 26th- those last days were torture!! On the morning of the 3rd I sat down on the couch at 7 AM with my coffee and a book finally coming to terms with the fact that it will happen when it happens. Then I coughed...and my water broke! I wasn't having any real contractions or anything, so I called the doctor's office and was told to see how things went and come by 1 PM if things hadn't really progressed. We went out for breakfast and packed up the house and headed to the hospital. We were h

I studied in Spain a few years ago and have been dying to get some Lay's Campesino chips, Chovi Ajonesa, and some Magdalenas. I would love a few of each of these items and would gladly exchange with treats from the US!

Edit: Lay's Receta Campesina chips, also, turns out most of it is available to get in the UK if anyone wants to trade
