Slow Parenting Tips

Lately, my family has been trying to slow down. We had found ourselves, very easily, succumbing to the hustle and bustle of raising kids in 2024. When we started to feel run down and burnt out, we sat down and talked seriously about slowing down our lives. I’ve been very surprised at how peaceful I feel after making a few easy changes to the way we operate as a family. These are my top slow…

Encouraging Independent Play in Early Childhood

Playing by yourself lets you choose what to do and be in charge. You get to feel really good about yourself when you figure things out and solve problems all on your own. This makes you believe in yourself and feel proud. Feeling confident can help you do well in school and make friends easily. Playing on your own is super important for making you feel sure of yourself!

Going Solo: How to Teach Your Baby to Play Independently and Love It!

Hello, fabulous parents! Ever felt like parenting is less of a job and more of a 24/7 reality TV show where you’re the star, director, and cleaning crew, all in one? If parenting came with commercial breaks, we’d all be eagerly waiting for that pause button, wouldn’t we? But hold onto your baby wipes, because there’s a twist in the plot: independent play for babies. It’s not about abandoning…

Parallel Play: The Benefits for Children's Cognitive, Emotional, and Social Development

Parallel play is a term used to describe when children play alongside each other, but not necessarily with each other. It is a common behavior among young children, especially toddlers, who are just beginning to explore the world around them. While it may seem like a solitary activity, parallel play can actually have numerous benefits for children, including improving their social skills and…

the fact that irving canonically survives through the end of asunder to be at wynne's funeral is so fucking funny to me. nothing but love and respect for MY unstoppable cockroach morally grey machiavellian mage dad!!! he's survived in his position through multiple attempted rites of annulment and blood mage plots popping up left right and center around him. the chantry keeps trying to stamp him out but his dodge game is simply out of this world, divine. civil wars, political machinations and minefields, chantry atrocities, this wily old motherfucker is dodging and weaving his way through it all, not-quite-no-hits-taken-running-it-but-honestly-close-enough-under-the-circumstances style. if solas does succeed in tearing down the veil I would fully believe that one of the like three people still alive at the end of it all would be a very weary 90 year old first enchanter irving going 'oh this shit again huh'. the maker has cursed him for his hubris and his paperwork is never finished (affectionate, it's fine he canonically loves paperwork)

I like think David and Rowan met briefly as kids. Just the once on some kind of bring your kid to work day. They only made eye contact. Brief enough they don't remember it when they meet again later but... Idk I just think its a nice thought.

Experimenting with recycling clothing with one of my pals, too! And, retiring a bunch of stuff so I can make new stuff! Hope y'all like it. <3

"Belphie was stuck in the attic for years!" "No he was up there for decades!"

bitch he was stuck in the attic for a few months at most. Lucifer sealed him there immediately before choosing MC for the exchange program (a week or two at most). If it had been years or decades since Belphie was locked up, MC couldn't have been in the exchange program because they would have been old or even dead.

Also, Solomon and the angels arrived in the Devildom the same day as MC. They left on the same day which means exactly one year would have been the day MC arrived. Which means the demons sent to the human world and the Celestial Realm also left the same day. Belphie disappearing years before the program officially started would have been extremely suspicious and Lucifer's lie would have fallen apart immediately
