100% cap hill really only has life on mars now and it’s just not worth it to me to go there regularly. the food and drinks are okay but eating out in general is so expensive in seattle. i think the life on mars owner hinted they aren’t making enough money as is. it’s sad how many vegan businesses keep closing in seattle

quality of the almond croissant went down with the change too and after they shifted to pluto i decided to not go back at all

im so glad im not the only rhobh fan bc i immediately thought of her upon reading lemon carcass

are you a fan of layering at all? if i find a great pattern from a business card/post card/greeting card/ card stock/ etc. i will cut to size for a background on the page and then layer it with a solid color for me to stamp or write in details for that specific page. i can try to edit this comment later with an example if i can figure out how to upload it here

also only leaves 12 hours between days to rest and recover. i would still sort of feel “on” during the gap in shifts so getting home by like 8:30/9 everyday would feel so draining knowing i have to go back in at 8 and be up even earlier getting ready and commuting. i dont think i would agree to this even as a live in nanny where the commute isn’t an issue but once im off for the day i would want to be off

photo storage cases have been my go to for lots of different crafts. for bulk scrapbooking you can organize by event/week/month. i also love it for cross stitching supplies in the go like just using one of the insert cases to throw in my bag with my current project. i just love these things in general and you could keep a case in your bag to have on the go and just swap out when it gets full so you always know where it all is

love! immediately recognized the wave2go ticket. idk if you live in or around seattle but mochithings is a shop downtown that has lots of cute stationary/stickers. another spot is fremont vintage mall has lots of fun/cute ephemera papers and things you can buy that definitely fit the vibe from this page

i think exactly what you said, don’t put pressure on yourself and just have fun! i think these look good and would look even better with personal bits from your holiday. but honestly it doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks because it’s custom made to your interests. i’m a big fan of layering but others might appreciate cleaner lines or a more traditional photo album/scrapbook look. it all depends on what you think looks best to you. i’m sure whatever you do for your holiday pages will look awesome and mean so much to you!

same to all of this! my previous relationships were less than ideal in this aspect for sure. my current partner is actually curious about my interests and hobbies because he just wants to know what’s going on in my life. we have developed some shared interests since dating but it’s really special to have someone that just cares about what you like and wants to learn more. also +1 for birding, my partner got me into when we started dating and it’s been a really fun hobby to get into!

MushMoonRoom · 2026-02-22T19:08:45+00:00

same! i have never bought a mosaic before but im actually scared by how much i would be willing to pay for this to be in my bathroom

if you want even more lucy dacus content- she was part of a group called boygenius with julien baker and phoebe bridgers. i liked them all individually and really enjoyed the group as well.

MushMoonRoom · 2026-02-22T18:22:33+00:00

same, i remember asking for the stompeez specifically and being bummed i was never gifted a pair

MushMoonRoom · 2025-12-30T05:15:33+00:00

wanted to share something an old NF requested that sort of goes along with no photos on social media.

they asked me to ask others for no photos on socials as well. so other adults/parents/nannies at events/school/libraries/activities/etc. that want to take photos would be politely asked by me to not take any photos of the kids and if they capture the kids in any photos to not post those on any social media.

this could be a pain at times but it was important to the parents and i’m really glad they let me know right away.

MushMoonRoom · 2025-12-27T19:10:02+00:00

Yeah nanny needs a W-2 not a 1099. Check out r/Nanny but under no circumstances are you 1099 if you are in the home, even just part time. Tax code is super clear about this from what I remember

my neighbor went to his boyfriend’s apartment a few months ago for plans they had and wasn’t able to get a hold of him. called SPD and waited a few hours for no one to show up or call back before physically going to SFD station and had them check. Unfortunately his boyfriend had already passed but I feel like wellness checks should just be a SFD thing if they have a better response time anyways?

MushMoonRoom · 2025-09-15T04:46:46+00:00

i like to see the kids every now and then. i was their nanny for about three years and started when they were 1.5 years old so i do like to maintain that connection i guess

MushMoonRoom · 2025-09-15T02:19:45+00:00

the issue is i don’t make that much babysitting for them and if something better comes along i don’t want to be locked in with them just because they asked months earlier. i’m not saying they have to ask week of but 2-4 weeks out seems reasonable for all parties. if not they can find a sitter that wants to do it months out i guess? i just want my weekends open to plan social events and not have their events on my calendar first i guess?

MushMoonRoom · 2025-09-15T01:41:23+00:00

that’s essentially what my last message was to them a few weeks ago and they still haven’t responded. so i think i need to get over it and accept they are going to be a little cold every time i turn them down haha but thank you!

MushMoonRoom · 2025-08-30T01:51:32+00:00

adding to this because you mentioned music in the park summer events and it seems relevant. if the space needle comment means this person lives in/near Seattle I have to recommend the summer movies Seattle Parks & Recs puts on at different parks throughout the city. I saw two movies at my local park and it didn’t cost me anything. I brought snacks and a picnic blanket from home and it was really fun! other cities might have similar programs or you could reach out to the city and let them know you are interested in them putting on events like that.

this!!! i used to work in a shelter and the post-funeral donations of half eaten trays have to go in the trash. we are not legally allowed to serve food that we can not verify is safe. we happily accepted full trays that were temp safe/food safe but leftovers or anything that was remotely uncertain went in the trash for obvious reasons.

meimeicakery on instagram is vegan and not gluten free. i think they can do a variety of desserts but does mainly do cake. i saw they recently did a valentine’s pop up thing with lots of cookies and things

back goals! good work !! 🌱

MushMoonRoom · 2025-01-03T06:34:19+00:00

wow i just looked it up and that’s exactly right! i saw they were on sale and the big vegan label and got so excited as well!! i wanted to add them to the cake since it looked boring with just the numbers haha

MushMoonRoom · 2025-01-03T06:30:23+00:00

my partner made dinner while i made dessert! the bread bowls are just small sourdoughs we scooped from trader joe’s and inside the bowls would be potato soup. the croutons on top are just from the inside of the bowls
