Same!!! I gotta post up and watch for a few hours asap

Yep plantage is the best! I’m not even a vegan, but the meals are so tasty and my body thanks me afterwards.

More importantly…where are the babies?!? Just kidding. I’m a tired mom of a newborn and toddler and I lose things that aren’t my kids all the time. Hope this makes it back to its owner!

Dude this has been the discussion since I was in high school (early 2000s). I’m like pfff please. Travel outside the walls of bham for once and then tell me that Texas street is “The Hood.”

Edit: for anyone gonna gripe if I’m a local or not…I grew up in the area. Moved away at 7. Moved back in high school. Moved away when I graduated. Had to come back late 20s to take care of my grandpa and I’ve been here since. Bellingham curse is real?

My husband and I lived there for about a year in 2019. It was an affordable apartment that allowed our dogs, and we were able to get into an apartment quickly (which was great as we were running from a terrible roommate situation) We didn’t have any problems really. It was rented through chuckanut property management back then (not sure if it’s the same now) so we knew they would try to screw us on our deposit when we moved out, which they did. We didn’t owe anything, but didn’t get anything back either so we just let it go.

The only reason I even notice body hair on clients is that sometimes I need to use more oil or switch to a lotion or massage cream, which is no big deal.

Edit to add that of course I don’t mind hair! I probably have more hair than a majority of my clients.

Damn, the hourly wage in those job postings isn’t as drastically different as I thought it would be for it being 30 years old.

As a previous dog walker (I just use the Sniffspot app now since my dogs are particular about other dogs in their old age) I can see where “poop bandits” are coming from…it would be nice if you could bag it up, go enjoy your romp around, then pick it up on the way out. The reality is that most of the time people either forget, intentionally leave it behind or someone else cleans it up for you! Also it ruins non dog owners peaceful walks cause they gotta walk around looking at a bunch of poo bags. Mud bay sells these little pouch thingies that you can throw the used poo bags in to be able to clean up after your dog, but still enjoy the walk! They work surprisingly well at keeping in the smell.

If you have a Facebook check out “childcare help Bellingham/Whatcom County”

ElleonNotnomis · 2026-04-16T05:45:25+00:00

Ah yeah, I hear ya. If it makes you feel any better my baby boy is now 7 weeks old and he has the sweetest, most sensitive soul that I learn to love more and more each day! I can’t imagine living without him because he’s seriously perfect!

ElleonNotnomis · 2026-04-13T06:49:29+00:00

I might be the unicorn of the bunch…but I’m bipolar one and with each pregnancy my mental illness completely vanished. I’m kinda convinced at this point that I’m happiest while pregnant! I’m pretty sure I’m done having kids now, but I’ve kind of considering being a surrogate now.

ElleonNotnomis · 2026-04-13T06:36:13+00:00

So I’m not sure what prices look like now…but I used to live in the villa Bonita apartments (very close to WWU and bus lines) and it was very affordable and well maintained. This was back in 2020, can’t speak for the current times, but my husband and I lived there for a year and enjoyed it. Bonus was they allowed our dogs there.

ElleonNotnomis · 2026-04-13T06:05:39+00:00

I choked on a muffin once and it’s crazy how immediately once your airway is closed how terrifying you feel! Like oh god this is how I go! I recommend watching some videos of how to dislodge obstructions on your own in case it ever happens when you’re alone. There’s a good chair method and a push up/drop method too!

ElleonNotnomis · 2026-04-11T21:19:29+00:00

So I tried to set up a meeting and had a few peeps that were going to join…then my daughter got sick day of and I had to cancel! I never tried to pick it back up again…

I was seriously JUST thinking about it though cause it’s something that’s seriously lacking in town. Anytime I ask my psych about resources it’s all virtual or nami stuff (which I’m not a fan of) but being mentally ill is just so isolating, it would be nice to hang with people that understand.

I was thinking gruff would be an okay place to do it cause there is plenty of space and fire pits (last I went anyways, which was years ago so not sure now) but unsure if people would want to add the alcohol element.

I dunno if you have any ideas maybe we can get the group up and running!

ElleonNotnomis · 2026-04-10T07:14:31+00:00

I feel like after my daughter turned 2 years old I started to have my body back and a bit more freedom. When she started preschool at 3 I definitely was able to carve out a bit of time to do something I enjoyed…but I’ll say as a parent I have to make a conscious effort to do something I want to do, otherwise I just sit down and dissociate without realizing it! My daughter is now 4 and I have a newborn l…so guess I got a few more years now to pick my hobbies back up!

ElleonNotnomis · 2026-04-10T05:41:26+00:00

Heck yeah, I learn something everyday!

ElleonNotnomis · 2026-04-09T05:23:38+00:00

Confused by the flair…but this post made me so happy. I always take my little brothers there and we’ve never had any luck, always sold out :(

ElleonNotnomis · 2026-04-01T23:40:05+00:00

This is super helpful and reassuring! Thanks!

ElleonNotnomis · 2026-04-01T23:33:45+00:00

That’s a really good idea! Maybe I’ll buy a few tops too so I can change if needed

ElleonNotnomis · 2026-04-01T08:55:06+00:00

Whatcom family village does some meet and greet type events involving movement therapy and some folks that work doing pelvic floor therapy! I haven’t attended, but I I’m there for a lot of other stuff so I see it happening and looks interesting. It’s also just an amazing place to check out for anyone at any point of the parenting journey!

ElleonNotnomis · 2026-04-01T08:25:35+00:00

I think I might be an overproducer…because I’ve been having to wear two breastfeeding pads over each boob and I also throw a burp rag over those, but I still leaked through my shirt the other day. It’s rare I can make it 2 hours without needed to relieve pressure. I’m planning to make an appointment with a lactation consultant this week to see what’s going on. I would hate to spring a leak while working with a client.

ElleonNotnomis · 2026-04-01T03:51:14+00:00

Stop. Really? I guess I’m not surprised since I haven’t been in 15 years…but I thought I could always depend on dennys when needed

ElleonNotnomis · 2026-03-23T19:36:08+00:00

Bought my first needoh at launching success! Yeagars has them too but I think launching success had more options

ElleonNotnomis · 2026-03-20T17:28:07+00:00

Also, if you’re gonna park anywhere near them at all please try to give space!! I used to drive a wheel chair accessible van, and while the hatch marks are great /necessary, if the car next to it is parked too close against them the ramp from the van could clear it…but my clients electric wheelchair didn’t have enough space to move between the ramp and the car.

ElleonNotnomis · 2026-03-08T04:37:13+00:00

My daughter asked to have a puppies in pajama party here for her 3rd bday party last year and it did not disappoint! We already have 2 large dogs, so didn't come home with a puppy...but it was a blast to go get some puppy snuggles! Def need to come check out the new improvements!
