Aw. Shucks. Just saw this. Ty. 

Yup. Been there. I’m the type that thanks the husband for reloading the dishwasher than reorganizes the dishes the proper way. I also have the odd distinction tho of being an only child by default as my brother passed away before I was born. My parents were awesome and truly meant well. But grief is grief and I guess…

Oh absolutely !!! Kids need to learn life skills without being tossed in the proverbial deep end. My mom was truly awesome but she suffered from severe depression. So I sort of remember this as being the start of long stretches she just kinda checked out. I am who am because she raised me right but looking back as an…

Look I absolutely agree with you. Kids need to learn life skills. My mom was awesome and definitely made sure I could care for myself but I was six at the time. Barely. And she suffered from severe depression and checked for periods of time. This is around the time that started so I sort of associate the two. 

Ug. I’m so sorry that was your experience. I went through something similar but no that severe. I had a mother who insisted that the best thing she could do for me was to teach me how to take care of myself. She went back to work when I was in first grade and showed me how to do my own laundry. She helped me the first…

So far we seem ok ish. Tiny human’s a little cranky today & I’ve got a wee headache but I think those two go hand in hand. BUT 8 individuals at his job now are sick. So that’s not the most comforting news. It feels a bit like playing dominos, waiting our turn.

TY !!! While I do not regret our decision for me to be a SAHM I think people don’t realize how isolating it can be. And the mom guilt is so very real. SAHM or Working mom. My biggest worry lately has been the socialization aspect of this whole being home 24/7 for the tiny human too. They learn sooooo many social cues…

I know ! Husband and I said the same thing. We’ll probably watch tho but that last episode kinda ended it for me 

I actually scolded him for those exact same reasons ! 

TY

Yes !!! Book five dragged on and on. Honestly I find it gets worse at times as the series goes on BUT I’m one of those people that needs to see the WHOLE thing through. Library book wise don’t feel bad. That is a popular series so they probably have multiple copies in the system. I actually had a little chat with my…

I’m going to try to take better care of myself. I have an autoimmune disease and part of keeping my illness under control is a balance of reducing stress, eating healthy and getting regular exercise. I’ve never been an emotional eater but the pandemic has made me literally eat my emotions. So I’m really truly trying…

We use 1-800 contacts for my husband’s. Our best friend tho was in a terrible conundrum during the middle of the pandemic with contacts. He didn’t have glasses anymore but used contacts. Well his prescription was due for contacts and he was running low. They refused to fill his prescription until he had an eye exam…

I’m always late to the party too. I read the Outlander series while pregnant with the tiny human. I spent the majority of my pregnancy either vomiting or eating crackers to keep the 24/7 heartburn down to a full fire and spent many many nights up because of it. Those books were a lifesaver. It was the exact…

I loved Derby Girls but need to watch the Queens Gambit still. I just finished Hunters with the husband. Super intense ! For myself I’m watching Mrs America. Only a few episodes in but it’s got a great cast. Oh and we just caught up on S4 of the Crown too

We’re holding our breathe here. My husband was directly exposed to Covid for several days unknowingly at work. 4 of his coworkers are sick & tested positive. 2 of those individuals he works closely with. So we wait now. This isn’t our first scare but it’s always worrisome as I have an autoimmune disease and have the…

So don’t talk about it ? Gotcha ;-) Sorry if I’ve offended you. I have never once claimed to be anything but extremely lucky. We are a single income household currently sooooo I do understand. We struggle. A lot sometimes. We made the difficult decision to do that as if not, our child would be in childcare most of the…

Can I star this multiple times ?

Legit hands down beautiful. My baking always taste good but is never that pretty. You have a genuine talent

Yes !!! SNS has let me look forward to something for myself every week. I soooo enjoy trying to find a good photo/s to share. Plus it’s helped me feel connected after being so isolated this year. Being a stay at home mom with an autoimmune disease has always kept my world quite small people wise but COVID really…
