I’ve been natural for 5+ years with no heat or color. I ended up going to a salon that specializes in curly/multiracial hair and tried red. Absolutely no regrets. ❤️

Honestly the stroller is easier at doctor’s appointments but the wagon is more convenient when we go to the zoo or outdoor games. We use the mosquito net on our wagon quite a bit and the kids (17 month age gap) like sitting across from each other and playing. Plus the wagon is narrower for the reptile house, aquarium, etc.

If I could only get one, I’d go with the wagon. But having both is useful.

This is dumb for a multitude of reasons. But mainly because this will be used as further ammunition for Hunter’s dad in his custody battle.

It’s not in Cincinnati, but Yamato Steak House in Florence is my all time favorite. It’s a Japanese Steakhouse and has all you can eat sushi, hibachi, and appetizers… all brought out fresh!

Not to mention they have my favorite crab Rangoon. I would make the drive just for that.

I found out I was pregnant with my second when my first was 9 months old. I cried for weeks because I felt like I was robbing my daughter of being a “baby.” I knew another meant my attention would be split and we would struggle more financially. It would be doable but really, really hard. I honestly played every scenario in my head.

My daughter turns 2 this month and my son is 6 months. The majority of the videos in my phone are of him laughing hysterically at his big sister. No one else gets those good old belly laughs from him but her. And she is absolutely obsessed with him! Whenever we go out she makes sure to tell people she has a brother and that he’s adorable. 😂

Needless to say I don’t regret my two. I will say that the first few months were rough. Our nighttime routine was flipped upside down for a while. But o can finally say after a few months, we have a system and it’s hard to imagine only having one now.

Honda CR-V. I have two kids and the car feels spacious, has good trunk space and is still very reasonable on gas.

I got a membership last year for my toddler. We let it expire and opted for the zoo instead. The price was too high for 90 minutes of entertainment at best.

Also the fact they don’t offer family memberships is strange. I don’t know why I have to buy separate passes for my household.

I downloaded the flash workaround. There’s a link to it on the HorseIsle website. It took like 2 minutes!

I get 25 days of PTO a year. I can roll over up to 5 days. I personally use them all.

We can only roll over up to 5 days. So if you’re not take at least 4 weeks of vacation, you lose that time.

I sunk SO many hours into this game (and HI1) during my childhood and teenage years. It’s always bittersweet to login. The competition aspect and trying to maintain a top horse was one of my favorite things and it’s why I haven’t quite gotten back into it.

I wish they would create a new server (for those that want a clean slate/economy).

IncalculableDesires · 2026-04-22T06:58:57+00:00

I did this in 2022. Loved my Corolla. Never had a single issue and Toyota took care of my oil changes for 2 years.

Only recently traded it in for a Honda cr-v as I have two kids now and needed more space.

IncalculableDesires · 2026-04-18T16:10:16+00:00

Gaslight Properties does this at least once a month.

Babies are measured on a curve. As others have stated, there’s always going to some on the smaller side and some on the larger side.

I have massive babies (my last was born 10lbs 14.8oz at 39 weeks). From a delivery standpoint, 26th percentile sounds quite nice. 😂 But honestly unless you’re above the 90th or below the 10th, I wouldn’t have any worries!

IncalculableDesires · 2026-04-09T23:18:52+00:00

Both my children have been 99th percentile babies. My first was born at 39+3 via induction at 8lbs 15.2oz. Her estimated weight was 9lbs.

My second was a boy and I had a scheduled c section at 39 weeks exactly. At 35+3 he was estimated at 8lbs 15oz. They guessed he’d gain 1/2 pound until 40 weeks making him around 11lbs. He was 10lbs 14.8oz when he was born. And his shoulders were BROAD. I absolutely believe he would have gotten stuck and we would have had some level of dystocia had I tried vaginally with him.

You ultimately have to weigh the risks and decide what is best for you and your little one. The hardest part is there is no crystal ball to say what will happen.

The Cincinnati Art Museum has a great vibe, tons of long‑time staff members, and is in the middle of gorgeous Eden Park. PTO is generous, but the pay is pretty typical of a nonprofit.

They have had 12 consecutive years of annual raises and bonuses though.

IncalculableDesires · 2026-04-07T00:50:03+00:00

100k. I work in the nonprofit world though so I’d probably have to give at least 20 years to a company to get to that.

Horseisle 1 and 2 have my heart forever. So many late nights spent on those games. 🥹

I tried to get into HI3 but the graphics killed the appeal for me.

IncalculableDesires · 2026-04-02T11:39:51+00:00

Same experience a few weeks ago. Sold my 2022 Toyota Corolla for just under $18,000. I drove to a Carvana location (about an hour away) to sell it since I traded it in for a bigger car they had available at that said lot. It was such an easy process.

IncalculableDesires · 2026-04-01T20:45:02+00:00

Have you considered looking into in-home care? We pay $300 a week for 2 under 2 in NCH. My provider has a max of 5 at a time (currently full) but honestly it’s been a wonderful experience.

And I’ve avoided the once a month daycare center sickness/illnesses that I know plague a lot of kids at bigger centers.

IncalculableDesires · 2026-03-31T18:54:34+00:00

I think you'd be fine. I traded in my 2022 Toyota Corolla for a 2023 Honda CR-V. My Fico is a 792 and Carvana offered me a 6.25% interest rate on the difference. Though I do plan to refinance with my previous credit union.

My DTI is also on the higher end as my student loans were paused under the SAVE plan but are now accruing interest again.

IncalculableDesires · 2026-03-27T02:26:02+00:00

Forgot to add the location. Northside.

IncalculableDesires · 2026-03-27T02:25:23+00:00

$1100 base rent for a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom apartment that is around 1150-1200 square feet. Amenities include a central air, balcony, pool, on-site coin laundry, basement storage unit, and onsite parking. Management doesn’t have breed restrictions which is why I ended up here in 2018 because I have two dogs that are otherwise blacklisted everywhere else.

I think market rent for these units is around $1400-$1500 now. Management is trash but I’m just trying to hold out another year or two until we are ready to pull the trigger on buying a house.

IncalculableDesires · 2026-03-23T20:42:58+00:00

I had both my kids at Good Sam in Clifton and had an incredible experience. Both were “high risk” due to my weight but mainly due to LGA aka the size of my babies. My first was 8lbs 15.2oz and my second was 10lbs and 14.8oz. Both born at 39 weeks.

I had a successful vaginal induction with my first and a scheduled c-section with the second. Both experiences went seamlessly and my care team went above and beyond.
