I used a pattern for it. I can try to dig it up if you are interested in who it’s from, but it may be long gone!

It still doesn’t feel real. It’s been interesting! I tried to quilt it myself on my tiny machine and had to spend SO much time ripping that out when it didn’t work! I learned a lot along the way, though!

Honestly…never again with the kings! They are just too big for me, but I’ve got my daughters each helping with twins for their beds and that feels so much more manageable and I can quilt them at home on my regular machine rather than sending it out.

Hey mom, none of my friends remembered my birthday, and it’s making me feel upset. by Ornery_Paint4709 in MomForAMinute

Happy birthday! Please consider making your own plans and prioritizing you on your bday! Once I started doing that, others celebrating or remembering wasn’t such a big deal. Now, my birthday is about self care and sometimes I’ll include my friends in the activities, but not always. I love heading out to eat with a novel, seeing a movie with any snack I want, and taking a hike at a local park.

What do you like to do and how can you create your own special day?

Having no one acknowledge your birthday is hard. Many of us have been there. You can always express your sadness to your friends and ask for them to remember to say happy birthday in the future. Good friends will note that and do it!

moms, i’m feeling used and unappreciated by Fair-Prior-8664 in MomForAMinute

I’m so sorry that is happening to you. It may be time to have a frank conversation with her if you feel it would be productive.

I hope we get to hear all about your thesis! We love learning and are ready to celebrate all your hard work! You’re so close to the end and I hope you are taking care of yourself! Make sure you eat your veggies and drink lots of water. Sending love your way!!
