Seeking recommendations for infant care

4 Upvotes

Not really sure where to start on this journey! We are expecting our first in a couple of months. Looking for either a commercial or in-home program for infants. Budget is $2000 a month give or take. Looking for something that prioritizes low staff to child ratio that is safe and clean, well trained and CPR certified staff. Would be interested in nanny share if that could work out financially. Both me and my husband work 4 days a week, so we would need 3-4 days of care covered per week. As baby grows, it would also be an added bonus to incorporate Spanish into the curriculum. Any help is appreciated!

Burlington opening at Columbia Crossing

5 Upvotes

Does anyone know when they will open? Haven't been this excited for an opening since Uniqlo and Chase opened in this area. I'm hoping we have more shops/food places open in the future. I would love to see Paris Baguette in this area. Since they opened one in Annapolis, maybe there is hope.

Recommendations for fresh whole Turkey for Thanksgiving? I just went to ShoNuf's website and they're done. Google said that Mary's Land Farm was an option, but they're already sold out.

Jackson Pond Mutt Mitts MIA

2 Upvotes

Anyone know why the mutt mitt stock at the two dispensers are frequently empty? For the past couple years, they were only empty every few weeks. Lately, they're empty every few days. I passed the one on the south side this morning around 7:30 am and it was packed. Passing it again this afternoon at 2:00, and it was empty. There certainly aren't that many more dogs being walked so I have to believe someone is absconding with them all for some nefarious purpose...

Car leather repair recommendations?

2 Upvotes

There’s a small spot about an inch big on my car interior thats damaged, I think it’s faux leather. There’s no hole, it’s just a spot where the color and texture don’t match the rest. I think it needs for the texture to be stamped somehow and then paint but I really have no clue. Does anyone have someone in Columbia/Ellicott city area they recommend?

Car theft

113 Upvotes

Figured I'd say something in here. I work near the mall and park in the Oak Garage by the AMC. Yesterday, as I was getting off work, I saw four kids in hoodies surrounding my car and trying to break into it. I set off the alarm, and they ran. If you park there, please keep an eye on your car. I haven't reported it yet since it was so late, but I wanted to give everyone a heads-up.

Just noticed two more put up in recent days. They replaced the one behind Toby’s it seems. And now a new on on broken land just before the 29N exit. BLP from Snowden to Little Patuxent is so heavily surveilled now… This shit is getting ridiculous.

Car detailing or steam cleaner rental recommendations please.

Post image
65 Upvotes

Does anyone know where to rent a steamer to clean a cars interior? Or someone who charges a reasonable price for detailing? We just need the two front seats done. But especially the passenger seat.

Tw: Kinda gross.

Last night I got a little too drunk at a concert and threw up in my husbands car on our way home. I managed to empty the clear bag we brought (except my vape. F in chat for my Sour Apple Fogger 🫡) and threw up in that. Well some of it leaked out from the seams of the bag onto me, the seat, and the floor.

Please help :’)

Looking for a statewide MD hiking group—or starting one! (All skill levels, trails across MD)

31 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I recently got into hiking and it has been an amazing workout and mental reset.

I am looking to hit everything from local spots like Patapsco and county parks to trails all across Maryland. I want to cover all levels of hardness, ranging from easy walks to tough mountain scrambles.

Are there any active groups that cover both local and statewide adventures? If not, I am thinking about starting a casual group for local weekday walks and weekend day trips across MD.

Drop a comment if you know of existing groups or if you would be interested in joining a new one for all skill levels!
