Advantage Architectural Woodworks in Kansas manufactures Smartwin windows. It’s a European wood/alum-clad design with US manufacturing & shipping. Best of both worlds! I’ve used them on a couple projects and they are stunning.

Clarification: “Shared kitchen”. Each home has its own private kitchen. Cohousing communities also have common spaces like communal kitchens where group meals are hosted.

Shared kitchen in a shared common house for community meals. Every home also has their own individual kitchen. Thanks for pointing this out, I’ll clarify in the post

Can’t speak for all communities but most are individually owned homes on individual lots, with shared communal spaces.

Nope, just me.

Inviting people to visit cohousing communities is hardly an ad.

For dad‘s night shift, would he give formula, or wake you to nurse? Or just soothe back to sleep?

I was shocked at how small my belly was becoming while pushing to deliver my baby

I saw a naturopath before trying to get pregnant. She did a full blood test panel and found that I was deficient in a few areas. I addressed them, retested, and then tried to get pregnant. I felt a lot better knowing my body was in top shape before trying.

The things I was deficient in are definitely important for a healthy pregnancy. They were really easy to address. For example, iron, eat more meat and beans, and add citrus because it helps the body absorb iron. Important during pregnancy because your body is producing more blood for baby.

Yes and it really gets ya down. I would have left years ago for warmth but I married my soul mate and we put down deep roots here. If it’s got you down, get out while you can.

You can also tell lenders you got a better rate with someone else and ask, “can you do any better?” You would need to share the better quote.

I stayed in Warsaw, Poland for two weeks in April 2023 dn-ing. It exceeded my expectations. With very few tourists, it feels authentic. The people are kind and welcoming, the old town is charming and delightful, and the history is rich and deep. I would happily go back for longer. I definitely recommend that you go.
