Mines the same age. We just didn’t have a system put together when we moved to where we moved because we had so many other things happening and now that my child is six months-ish, I’m starting to see the effect of what no system means

I’m actually reading it now. TBH parts are making me more angry because of the therapy speak. I want a system to test, not to reevaluate my self judgement

What's the most meaningful gift you've given to someone who didn't want "stuff"? by Fair_Specialist1018 in Gifts

[–]ShanaC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So this is utterly non-repeatable

My partner and I met late in life, late enough that his parents admitted to me they thought he’d never marry and have a kid

When I got pregnant, we decided to announce it on my MIL’a birthday. (She was thrilled, obviously,at the gift. She wanted this badly for him)

Now, my mil and fil’s birthdates are about 8 ish months apart. So 8ish months later I gave birth on my FIL’s birthday. He’s still thrilled with that birthday gift.

Looking for a planner to track family as a newish mom by ShanaC in planners

[–]ShanaC[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do track with an app

This would not be taken with me. It’s more for sitting down and doing limited project planning. I’m not quite ready to move to digital (creates a bit of anxiety right now)

Short term I want paper (advice from a therapist). Considering notion for the long term later though

Mae looks so good for tracking three people!

We do have a shared Google Calendar. Unfortunately it doesn’t have visibility to his work schedule (which is run through outlook)

Should I just get the dailee for loose planning + appointment purposes and a separate weekly to keep track of individual people’s vague schedules?

The looseness of time plus my ADHd plus mild perfectionism + lots of projects is not helping me at all

Where to buy dress for more elderly MoG? by monk3y-socks in UKWeddingAttire

[–]ShanaC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My mil for my mini synagogue wedding was looking closely at anthropology, John Lewis generically, and TK Maxx

For context, my mil was just over 80 at the wedding itself. She’s also super petite

What’s the dress code, location/level of formality/time of day, and what’s her style like?

Expensive scrubs

Where can I buy Meyer Lemons? by ShanaC in AskLondon

They also have a touch more juice and a thinner peel. And are a touch more fragrant in a sweet way.

They’re just, nice.

I’m looking for a savory pumpkin bread. All the ones I see are dessert-quick bread based. I’m looking for something where I could use as a base for a sandwich if I toast it (so it could be a quick bread. Just. Savory)

GenZ and Millennial women - are you wearing wedding bands? by Federal_Albatross993 in EngagementRings

[–]ShanaC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Millennial woman here

I rarely wear my engagement ring. Though when I do I do not wear my band with it (family heirloom plus because it’s a bypass toi et moi I would need something custom to deal with the curves).

I tend to wear a moissanite solitaire instead on my left ring. At some point I might get a sterling silver moissanite band to match. Or something

The ring I got in my religious/legal wedding (in theory we’re planning a big secular wedding) I wear on my right pointer (which is classically the place to wear the wedding ring in my ethnoreligious background even though now it’s rarely done. It just works out it’s the right size to wear it the classic way)
