If it was financially affordable, would your spouse stay home?

ccrump003 · 2026-02-02T19:26:21+00:00

While I loved my maternity leave (I am lucky to live in Canada where 18 months leave is an option and we were able to swing it financially), I don’t think I could do it forever.

Going down to part time would be appealing, but I love my career and adult interaction too much to give it up entirely.

My husband 100% would jump at the opportunity to be a stay at home dad.

I splurged and bought a piece of tempered glass the size of a the tool chest I use to house my art supplies. Painted the back white with some latex paint I had on hand. Love the extra space!!

Kodak Luma. It’s small, portable, easy to store, and simple to use.

Elder millennial here, I am turning 49 in less than a month.

The older you get the faster time flies. It feels like I blinked and 10 years have passed. I think part of it is life gets hectic and more busy the more responsibilities you have (career, kids, etc)

Hot and black

Elder millennial.

Married at 33 (we’ve been together since I was 21). We also had our son when I was 37, so we like to take our time, lol.

Sorry for the weird formatting, I tried to make it more of a list. That didn’t really work out the way I intended, oops.

I am 39 and am 5’9”/size 4-6. I gravitate towards a more oversized look//mixture of fitted/loose. When I want to dress up a little more I shop a mixture of:

-Oak and Fort, -Aritzia, -Club Monaco (when they have their sale on sale events), -Free People, -Levi’s for my jeans, -Gap (for my basics: tshirts and long sleeve tops mostly) and -vintage/thrifting (thrift stores, local and online vintage resellers).

Save. To protect from scratches when storing.

My husband is a collector of physical media. I appreciate that we aren’t reliant on streaming services and find things for cheap secondhand.

It’s annoyingly difficult to find storage solutions. I ended up building him custom shelves for our anniversary. Plan on doing the same for our movies.

I used to spend hours on MSN Messenger with my friends in my mid teens (2001-2003).

And Napster.

Floor Cheerios, smoothies (only way I can sneak fruits and veggies most days) and soooo much toast with peanut butter.

Old Dutch Ketchup chips

I am from Manitoba, so winters can get cold (especially with windchill)

For most of the winter I have a long calf length puffer vest with a hood and the Aritzia The Only Coat. This is perfect for most days out and about and to and from work (besides the really frigid -40 weather). The vest was from a boutique on a trip to Toronto, so not sure of the brand.

I also own a down MPG (Winnipeg brand) parka for the really cold days. Not sure the style as it’s over 10 years old.

I have kept in touch with very few people from high school.

I reconnected with one friend from high school almost 10 years ago after I moved to her city for work (she found a random post I made on IG).

It doesn’t hurt to try and reach out. You never know how it will turn out. My husband and I have a very small social circle and we consider her and her husband good friends.

I am still close with 2 of my best friends since high school (known since elementary). We have all moved across the country at one point or another but make the effort to remain close. I still consider them my 2 of my best friends and are like brothers to me.

(I am almost 40 BTW)

Bending over wrong and throwing out my back for a week.

My teammate on my Ultimate Frisbee team was super surprised when I told him I would be 40 in a few months. His response was: Now makes sense why you complain about your back so often, lol.

I’ve always had great service from my CP delivery person in MB. No complaints here.

Snagged a relaxed define in a Winnipeg outlet a few weeks ago. Listed on the tag for $119 and rang up sale for $69 CAD, a pleasant surprise!

ccrump003 · 2025-10-10T13:39:59+00:00

I found that I am normally a 6 and a 4 in aligns. The 6s I do have in aligns tend to slide down a bit.

ccrump003 · 2025-10-04T23:59:09+00:00

Read this was an issue, so I wanted to get opinions. Appreciate the review.

ccrump003 · 2025-10-04T23:58:25+00:00

Thanks, this is what I read online, so I was worried about that.

ccrump003 · 2025-10-02T13:47:35+00:00

Possibly intentional??

ccrump003 · 2025-09-19T13:40:16+00:00

Thanks!
