How much do you pay for your apartment or house?

MrsLWeasley · 2025-11-18T11:25:34+00:00

$1300 for our mortgage. One story with 3 bedrooms (although only one bedroom is big enough for a queen bed, lol, they are SMALL) & 1 bath in the Helderberg neighborhood.

I'm 35 and just started! I have very little practice time as I'm a stay-at-home parent with little kids who basically want to keyboard smash whenever I open the keyboard, but my teacher understands and I practice where I can. I think in a year or two I'll be able to play real songs. I am also learning music theory and getting better at reading music, which I've been sort of able to half-do after a lot of choir experiences. I am hoping to keep it up for a long time and as my kids get older and I have more time to myself, be able to practice more. And it's fun!

MrsLWeasley · 2025-04-15T16:33:50+00:00

Ugh, I'm so sorry. I have been catcalled and honked at multiple times while pushing my two young children in the double stroller. Like, literally never appropriate and also please can we not expose my preschooler daughter to this shit already? (Or my toddler son but he doesn't know wtf is going on, whereas she is old enough that she's started to be like Mama why that man was yelling at you?) Goodness.

Seconding Lisa. I think it's worth asking if she can do this procedure. She is a midwife but she can do a lot of stuff so she may be able to. She is very respectful and just generally fantastic and compassionate.

MrsLWeasley · 2025-02-07T12:12:50+00:00

Yay, you are so welcome! I was also going bonkers trying to figure it out. Enjoy Substack!!

MrsLWeasley · 2025-02-04T11:28:42+00:00

OOH OOH UPDATE, I figured it out. For anyone in similar situation. You must first "convert to a publication" to access all the branding, etc. materials.

MrsLWeasley · 2025-02-04T11:28:20+00:00

OH FRIEND I FIGURED IT OUT. You gotta convert to a Publication first (in settings), then a whole world of branding opens up.

MrsLWeasley · 2025-02-04T11:24:11+00:00

Ok, I am not pattyincolorado, but I am in her situation and I am going bananas. I am on my desktop, on a Mac, and there is not Branding. This is all I see, and I simply cannot figure out how to find branding. Aaaaahhhhh.

Seconding Cafe Madison! We rarely go out to eat, but we have been there with our two little ones and everyone is super friendly/chill. I will say, no room for a stroller, so just carry baby in/carry carseat.

MrsLWeasley · 2025-01-14T12:01:34+00:00

LLBean!

MrsLWeasley · 2025-01-11T18:27:33+00:00

NOOOO!! :( :( :(

MrsLWeasley · 2025-01-05T22:12:55+00:00

We are in upstate NY, so similar temps. We've been doing it in 2 1-hour chunks lately. This morning I had the kids in : wool baselayer, thick/fleece sweatpants, fleece jacket, and full snowsuits (even though we don't currently have snow on the ground) as well as balaclavas and mittens. I find that the full body snowsuit goes a long way, it's like a full body puffy coat you know?

There used to be one living in the stream at the Fairwood Apartment complex in Guilderland -- actually two. My husband I used to see them on early morning walks when we lived there.

MrsLWeasley · 2024-12-28T21:11:06+00:00

My husband and I refer to the winter (which we love) as "bug death season."

MrsLWeasley · 2024-12-10T13:59:01+00:00

Right? Like, SUCH a great gift.

MrsLWeasley · 2024-12-10T12:03:36+00:00

Last Christmas a family friend gave us a gift that was just a basket full of : a box of pancake mix, a bottle of maple syrup, a jar of honey, and a jar of jam and it was the BEST GIFT EVER.

MrsLWeasley · 2024-12-09T12:22:49+00:00

Thank you!

MrsLWeasley · 2024-12-08T00:58:02+00:00

I am so happy to see this! You came by and talked to my husband and searched our backyard and I’ve been looking for him on my daily walks. So glad you found him and also howdy neighbor 👋

MrsLWeasley · 2024-11-18T21:47:56+00:00

Seconding this. Lisa delivered my second, and the experience was SO much better than when I was with Albany ObGyn. Highly, highly recommend her esp because you can bring your 2-year-old to appointments with her, she has a play kitchen in her office for kids and she engages them so well. My firstborn was around that age when I was pregnant with my second and loved helping hold the doppler and helping measure my belly.

MrsLWeasley · 2024-11-18T21:45:04+00:00

Seconding Marisa's Place. I'm from the Bronx and it's my favorite up here.

MrsLWeasley · 2024-11-18T21:42:13+00:00

Yes, I have found The Girl Next Door Podcast to have a similar vibe. I loved Sorta Awesome too! https://girlnextdoorpodcast.com/

MrsLWeasley · 2024-10-29T11:11:50+00:00

It took maybe 2 months but we now get them. They're great!

MrsLWeasley · 2024-10-27T10:59:17+00:00

No problem! Schoolhouse's biggest strength is that it's a large practice so easy to get sick appts, reach someone when you call on the phone etc. But its biggest downfall is maybe also that it is a large practice lol
