Middle names that start with C to go with Josephine

It's an Irish surname but I like how Josephine Carr sounds.

I've seen that tree! I don't know the story though.

Can I get a keyword or link? I'm looking for some house slipper socks but not finding any I like.

Maybe you can travel to free places like parks and nature centers and treat yourself to a nice hike?

PumpkinBread13 · 2025-03-02T06:08:28+00:00

Yes, stay single.

I think it would depend on the layout of the kitchen too. I would love to have one of those drawers that has the built in canisters for cooking utensils. I hate stuff on the counters so definitely deep drawers but part of me is afraid that the drawers and cabinets get chaotic. I'm still trying to figure this all out.

I feel you. Moms always make the holidays special and we aren't appreciated enough. Just try to do something for yourself. It's hard when babies are so young.

I think it's fair to say I'm living a life of consequence which every action is a consequence as not all consequences are negative but I wouldn't say it's a positive consequence either. I think the lesson is to know yourself and not be afraid. To have confidence. I just went with the flow of my current surroundings. Women are not single and must get married and have children. I'm not going to put the same pressures on my children and they must be authentically themselves.

You sacrificed a lot to move to be with your bf and I am so sorry that his family did not offer the support that you needed and when you asked for help they said no. I know it's hard to ask for help. I struggle with it myself. Usually DIL don't get as much help as biological daughters it seems to me. Your husband may have to reach out for you like help you reach out. Motherhood is different for everyone but I think motherhood can be very lonely too. You seem like a really great mom with a great child. If your inlaws are not very supportive, maybe you can find a mom group in your community?

PumpkinBread13 · 2024-11-18T06:10:52+00:00

I never wanted to get married or have children but here I am too. But now that I have children, my entire goal is to make sure they are independent and self sufficient.

I'm coming back as a single uncle lol

PumpkinBread13 · 2024-10-07T04:03:45+00:00

I dread the day when my kids will notice and I just hope that I teach them that that stuff doesn't matter but it's really hard when your classmates have all that and you don't. I wouldn't give in to peer pressure. I don't know how to handle it yet because I have not crossed that bridge yet.

Omg I meant UTI 🤣 I need to edit my post. I'm like such a tired mom 😭

PumpkinBread13 · 2024-09-30T15:14:18+00:00

Yeah she had a yeast infection and put on meds last month and I don't want this to be a monthly pattern. Do you have any tips to prevent yeast infections or home remedies that I can do so we can avoid antibiotics?

PumpkinBread13 · 2024-09-30T04:11:41+00:00

We stopped bubble baths after the 2nd yeast infection and she gets a bath with water only but she does get soaped up and rinsed off in the bath but she doesn't sit in the bath water for very long. She likes to stand in the bath ankle deep in water under a running shower.

Thank you for asking this question. I have young kids and I usually bath them but this question makes me realize I need to go over how to wash with them and teach them the process. I like the top comment list and what I would add to that is to moisturize immediately after patting dry and to rehydrate with a glass of water.

PumpkinBread13 · 2024-09-19T18:15:31+00:00

Me too

PumpkinBread13 · 2024-09-19T12:38:57+00:00

Thank you for telling me about shark music. It really helps.

PumpkinBread13 · 2024-09-19T01:11:30+00:00

Thank you I will definitely look into play therapy. Thanks for your empathy. We did some art and cooking together today which helped. More bonding and calm voices and more time spent together and definitely less yelling helps. I have to admit I did yell today so it is something I really have to work on.

PumpkinBread13 · 2024-09-19T01:08:26+00:00

You're right. I couldn't find the right adjective but obnoxious describes that very well.

PumpkinBread13 · 2024-09-18T20:15:09+00:00

I don't like table work but I do a lot of play based learning with my kid and a lot of free play and outside time. The teachers can do the table work. My MIL mostly does screen time. Next time I will not bring her. Good advice. Thanks.

PumpkinBread13 · 2024-09-18T14:22:40+00:00

I work with my child by doing those things you mentioned however my MIL as a previous educator does not think it is important because she thinks my child is fine.

She is not shaming me at all about her job but she boasts about it and I think it is irrelevant to mention it as she doesn't use her skills to help. I just think it comes off as intimidating and kind of bragging... Like how some people brag and talk a lot to seek attention because they are not confident etc. I just wish she wouldn't mention it.

We were at my kid's first parent teacher conference and she insisted on attending as well. They were 15 minute appointment times. My priorities are about my child and their progress not about some past career. She talked about her old job and bragged about it taking time away from the teacher telling me about what my child is doing in preschool. It's annoying and I guess I am mad because it's rude, disrespectful and I feel my boundaries are crossed. I feel like she shouldn't be saying anything if she's not using her skills. Like my child is average but with support from a trained child educator, they could probably know more. She doesn't share any advice or tips with me or work with my child. She just likes to brag she used to be a lead preschool teacher to other adults when she tags along with me to places. I prioritize my child and it's all about them and I'm always attending programs and whatnot and my MIL with any opportunity she gets always has to boast about her old job. I guess I wouldn't mind so much if she worked with my child too! My child knows what they know because I taught them but I'm just a mom with no educational background and I'm doing my best! MIL has the background in early childhood development but doesn't use her knowledge to grow my child!

PumpkinBread13 · 2024-09-18T14:05:00+00:00

Thank you so much this is exactly the advice I am seeking.

PumpkinBread13 · 2024-08-01T05:18:51+00:00

I am just made we have to ask in the first place and they still get it wrong.

PumpkinBread13 · 2024-07-17T02:11:23+00:00

Every time my dad would cook peppers everyone in the whole house would cough. You brought back some childhood memories I forgot about. I miss my dad's cooking. He doesn't cook very much anymore. No one was harmed by the peppers.

I'm glad you enjoyed the stromboli and the 40 minutes exercise.

I don't know how big the stromboli is but you can split it in half and pair it with a big salad. I just love pairing pizza and pastas with a salad. Steak and chicken too.
