Macaron Baker 🍪 🪡 @macaronbaker.bsky.social · 26/09/2026The last farmers market of the season was this morning. I gave Little Bit a budget of $10 to spend in ones. We worked on looking at the signs to see if things were in budget and making decisions on what she wanted to buy. The shop owners loved it and helped her in learning. 020

They charge anywhere from $100-$350 for the dresses, or you can bring your own. Mama’s cue to say “hold my needle!” One Belle dress, some assembly required. 020

Macaron Baker 🍪 🪡 @macaronbaker.bsky.social · 14/07/2026Our current day care uses an app to keep parents informed. The local school district uses the same app for their extended school day and tuition based pre-k, which Little Bit is starting soon. Which would be great! Except now she has 3 profiles in this app that cannot be merged. 😖 010
Macaron Baker 🍪 🪡 @macaronbaker.bsky.social · 14/07/2026I have been getting more involved at the local level and was a delegate at the state convention.

Macaron Baker 🍪 🪡 @macaronbaker.bsky.social · 10/05/2026Little Bit has been playing with her toy kitchen and also been watching lot of SciShow Kids.

We’ve never made jello with her, she learned all of this from SciShow. 120
Macaron Baker 🍪 🪡 @macaronbaker.bsky.social · 05/05/2026Most of Little Bits’s “When I grow up” statements follow along the lines of “I’ll take my kids, and do the same thing we have done as a family” And I think that feels like winning at parenting with @mithradatesvi.bsky.social 120
