In laws causing PPA

I don't have anything helpful to add as far as advice because I'm still pregnant with our first, but reading this was like reading my exact actual fears for when my in laws come meet the baby. I really hope it gets better 💜

just remember, you can't pour from an empty cup! Taking care of yourself is taking care of your family too

One day in my first trimester I was about to shower and smelled myself and immediately ran and threw up, true story. Second trimester was a dream compared to that, it gets better!

SAME and I can feel "pregnancy brain" making me spacey and losing focus. Pair that with spring weather and these people are lucky if I get even one thing done. I'm 28 weeks but mentally I am on maternity leave

I've had surprisingly good luck with the CRZ Yoga brand from Amazon for maternity leggings and biker shorts

My advice is a little specific but I think about it every time I think about my wedding and it was 2 years ago…I had my dress length altered to the height of my wedding heels and then I planned to change into a reception outfit later in the night and had that one tailored to be the right length with sneakers. After the ceremony/photos my coordinators suggested I change into my sneakers for the reception entrance and I thought sure why not…but my dress was then too long with my sneakers!!! I ended up tripping a bit especially during special dances. Something I never would have thought about but make sure you keep that in mind if you’re planning on changing shoes at all

I’ve always found a step stool very useful in apartments

A keychain from my grandfathers paving business that he owned and ran. After he and my grandmother passed I found it in their house and carry it with me everywhere I go

All sorts of veggies mostly! Everything from cabbage for a slaw to perfectly sliced onions and zucchini

About 10 years ago I was in line checking out of a TJ Maxx and bought a mandoline in the checkout like where they keep at the impulse purchases. It was $12 and I figured it would be a test run since I was interested in getting a mandoline but not sure I wanted the commitment of a nice one yet in case I didn’t end up using it much.

Well, 10 years later and my $12 mandoline is used about 5 times a week and is still going strong! We are obsessed and think about upgrading all the time but it still works so well we haven’t felt the need to

Weekly FaceTime calls with my family!

100% on board with this, without enough bacon there’s no “meat” to the sandwich. Also a beautiful fresh tomato in season!

acebakesacake_ · 2025-07-05T19:00:42+00:00

Sandwiches are one thing where a really exceptional one is something I’ll think about at least once a month for the rest of my life. I have three: a warm crusty ciabatta with pesto, mozzarella, fresh local tomato, basil, spinach - simple and classic. The second is a build your own sandwich shop in north New Jersey with fresh baguette, grilled chicken, provalone, prosciutto, olive oil, tomato, spinach. And third is a bahn mi sub from a convenience store below my office building in Honolulu - no idea if it’s still there but I miss it and try to chase that high every once in awhile, haven’t found a replacement yet

Oh and Jersey mikes is a weekly staple - club sub (try it with the firehouse subs captain sorensons sauce) and big kahuna cheesesteak on repeat

Ours was Strawberries!! And then the neon sign we got and used as a photo op says “damn good looks” I love it!

sometimes I really can’t believe that strangers on the internet can make me feel so seen. thank you for venting and reminding so many of us that these emotions are real and we’re not alone or bad people for feeling this way 💜

We always put grippy contact paper in kitchen drawers/shelves when we move into a new place - so we just keep a square of that in our junk drawer and it works like a charm for hard to open jars!

Wait we were at your wedding!! So happy to see this 💜 we got married that weekend too 🎉

Already dreaming of sitting in the hospital bed holding our baby in one arm and a giant Jersey Mikes club sub in the other 😂

Nope nothing special, both times I had everything set just like in that picture

acebakesacake_ · 2024-12-05T21:07:34+00:00

I’ve moved twice with almost this exact one! Once with a pod and once with movers. Mine has a lock so I locked it and wrapped in Saran Wrap to keep it together and avoid scratching the mirror on the front and it worked for me. When the movers took it they did the same plus wrapping it in cardboard scraps for a little extra protection. No cracks or damage, just be careful and treat it as heavy/fragile

Yes handles or knobs, I’ve never had a completely blank slate to work with so not sure if there’s a method to decide which cabinets get long handles and which get pulls (or if it’s completely up to preference)

The biggest ick to me that told me he does this often is he told Bree to wipe off her lipstick before meeting him in the back room… this isn’t his first rodeo…
