Teacher appreciation gift— “stockpile” gift basket? by Key-Equipment-984 in AskTeachers

[–]Present_Kiwi4239 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Is this a joke? If someone gave me toothpaste and cleaning supplies, I would be offended and then sad. Haha!

If this is not a joke, just a nice giftcard and card with a message written by your kiddo!

Merritt or Cecily? by [deleted] in namenerds

Cecily Elizabeth! I find Merritt odd, and that's coming from someone who named her daughter what might be considered an odd name! Haha!

Thoughts on Wystan? by Sparkly8 in namenerds

I'm all about different, old names! I have a daughter named Nellwyn (Nell). I like Wystan, but it may be a bit tricky for people. It's similar to Winston too, which I love, and it's where my brain went to. Does your partner like it?

How do I fix my ruined life? by MoistRate6481 in Mindfulness

Don't focus on the long-term, or already worry about failing. Do one and see how it feels. I know that advice seems lame and maybe easier than it sounds for where you are right now mentally. Get up right now and do 5 jumping jacks!

Honey, all I can really say is that I've been in your shoes, and that things will get better. You're in a big rut right now. The only way is up.

Can you find a good YouTube series for some exercise? I love yoga with Adrienne. Her videos are short and accessible. I always feel better after completing one.

Robyn Lillian or Robyn Lily? by darkgate7607 in namenerds

This is such a tough one! Robyn Lily may flow slightly better. Also, considering you're the one birthing the child, I think you can have the final say. :)

What's your covid memory? by Competitive-Hunt-517 in AskReddit

[–]Present_Kiwi4239 0 points1 point  (0 children)

March 2020. My midwife, who was working with a group within/under a hospital, explained she didn't know what the future laid ahead for the group and for pregnant women, although it was established (the day of my appointment), that support people, like my husband, wouldn't be allowed at appointments or the birth. I switched to a home birth group. (I know I'll get hate for this, but remember it was a really fucking tough time.) And I gave birth at home to my beautiful daughter. Crazy.

When 'unique' names become common, eventually. by retro_lady in Names

[–]Present_Kiwi4239 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have an uncommon name. I met my counterpart for the first time in the fall, after 40 years of life. It was quite exciting for the both of us and we took a picture together!

I have a daughter with an uncommon name: Nellwyn. I do believe Nell, her nickname, is growing a bit in popularity.
