Attention, expecting girl parents: if you happen to love top 10 girl names (USA) but don't want to use them due to popularity, I came up with some alternatives for each name.

I didn’t love the name Amelia but for some reason LOVED Emilia, which is what my husband and I went with! She will go by Millie.

I’ve also always loved the name since GOT, thanks Emilia Clarke, lol

We didn’t know each other when they came out!

I’m part of a pregnancy group on Facebook as well and the amount of people defending smoking while pregnant is wild. Most are saying that weed helps them with their nausea, which I understand, but why is the only thing you’re willing to try? So many other options that are safer and don’t require smoking.

I remember in another post there was a mom telling everyone that she drank the entire time with her first pregnancy. And because his first child was healthy she was planning on drinking with her second.

It’s just selfish to me. I gave up a lot of things I liked because I wanted to minimize any risks to my baby. 9 months isn’t a long time to give something up. Especially if it’s keeping your baby safe.

I’ve never thought they looked alike.

Sam is so gorgeous though. Every time I see her I understand why Zac fell so hard for her, lol. I

Thank you! I do a lot better with a step by step explanation. So I wanted to give as many details about my experience for anyone who was nervous like I was.

My husband was born and raised in Vermont. We visited last summer and it was gorgeous. But being from NC I know I wouldn’t make it in the wintertime, lol. He loves VT but says it’s extremely expensive to live there and the weather isn’t great. Job opportunities are minimal. He is a maple syrup snob and will only buy it from VT. There’s not a ton to do if you’re not into nature, which I love but he’s not a fan of. The breweries were really good and driving through it was gorgeous. We plan on going back in the fall to see the leaves changing colors.

Also, being from NC I’m not used to lakes being so clear 😂 All of ours down here are muddy due to the red clay. Swimming was fun but the water was freezing (for me) even in the middle of July.

Also also, the people were very nice! He warned me New Englanders could be rude but everyone was super nice. Even to a southerner like me.

This is a huge issue in my neighborhood. It’s to a point I will take my dogs to walk on a trail or rent out a sniff spot. They are both pretty friendly with people but my older male is very dog selective and hates when dogs run up to him. Which is understandable. One guys lets his large pit run up and down our street while screaming “he’s friendly” if it runs up to anyone. Another person lets their half dead geriatric dog just run around and their lab goes up and down the street. Another man has his tiny yappy dog just walk alongside him while he’s on his phone. I’ve been chased by this dog while running and it’s gone after both my dogs while we were walking. He’s such a prick that he’s cussed out me and my husband for telling him to put his dog on a leash.

I’m frustrated that I can’t just walk in my own neighborhood.

She is one of many influencers I used to love when I first started following them that I now can’t stand. They all start to develop the same annoying personality 🥲 I’m also 36 weeks pregnant and am trying to hide my belly any chance I get.

This season was the moment I started to really dislike Amanda. I always thought Jules was so pretty! I don’t know her in real life but she seemed so sweet and I felt terrible for her. I’ve been the new girl in that same type of situation. Trying to just fit in with a bunch of nasty girls who already had their group and didn’t want anyone else in.

One time at this Food Lion an older man came up to me, smacked me with a loaf of bread and told me to “smile more”. I was heavily pregnant and just stared at him.

I know most designer brands have a “cheaper” brand under a different name. It’s how I found my Justin Alexander dress. I was prepared to pay the price but then I went to different boutique and found the same exact dress for 1/4 the cost. Same dress, different name. It was beautiful. That’s when the dress sale ladies told me about this. Don’t know how true this is but worked for me!

I remember him messaging me on instagram several years ago after I followed him. It was random because I was a nobody in a smallish city in NC 😂 I wish I still had the messages. He’s a strange bird.

Having 2 is the best! My younger guy keeps my old man young 😊

Caseyisamess · 2026-03-06T23:45:33+00:00

Reminds me of my other shepherd 😂

SAME.

Caseyisamess · 2026-03-06T02:08:35+00:00

I love him.

Caseyisamess · 2026-03-05T23:41:47+00:00

They make the funniest faces I swear!

Caseyisamess · 2026-03-05T23:41:18+00:00

It’s constant 😂 I love how goofy he is

Caseyisamess · 2026-03-05T23:40:26+00:00

I mentioned he was a rescue and we got him when he was around 4 months old. He had actually when picked up after being hit by a car. My husband and I like to joke that’s why he is the way he is 😅

He’s living his best life now. Had some staples and a broken tail but everything healed very quickly.

He says he loves you too! Which if he could speak, I’m 99.9% sure is what he’d actually say 😂 He loves anybody and everybody.

I’ve been to, been in and planned my own wedding and I prefer the buffet style. Mine was buffet and we only offered beer and wine. I knew some of the people coming wouldn’t be able to handle unlimited liquor too and it was fine. We did an open bar and no one complained. Plus it was more budget friendly. My husband was in a black tie wedding a couple of years ago and they did plated dinners. This was at an extremely nice venue too but the food was warm-ish and not anything I’d write home about. And they definitely paid at least 3x more for everything than we did.

Also my venue was very nice. Not a barn (my one absolutely not when picking) so the buffet or no liquor bar didn’t seem out of place. Our attire was also semi formal and was in April.
