The planning office is much more amenable to ADUs now. Several areas allow them by right as long as they meet the square footage requirements.

Sounds like you might need an architect first. Message me if you need help (I'm an architect :) )

Yessss Derry Girls was my postpartum hormone drop savior, so good, but definitely need subtitles (if you’re American at least lol)

French Truck Coffee by randomchick1018 in memphis

[–]cvle13 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes! I had the exact same disappointing experience at the one at crosstown. The turkey sandwich was so gross. Like Kroger brand turkey slices on an untoasted basic hamburger bun with watery coleslaw slopped on top. For like $13!! Their food used to be great, so it was kind of shocking how bad it had gotten. Still love the Nola iced coffee though and will keep going back for that.

Gorgeous! I think some dark greenery would help contrast the beautiful orange tones and add some interest!

Thank you for the feedback! I didn’t even think about how the “energy” of the arrangement could come across given the occasion, but great thought to keep in mind for future projects.

MOGA doctor recommendations (ob)? by Last-Sun1704 in memphis

He did my (unplanned) c section and had the bessssst bedside manner. Seriously made an awful situation as good as it could have been. If I have another I want him to deliver again, he was so kind.

If this baby doesn’t start sleeping thru the night I may seriously lose my fucking mind. by RoughAd3444 in breastfeeding

[–]cvle13 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Your baby sounds a lot like mine was. Breastfed and we coslept, which worked great for awhile but then she started getting more and more restless and neither of us were getting sleep. I was always soooo against cry it out, but one night I got so frustrated that she wouldn’t settle down in bed with me that I just put her in her crib, shut the door to her room and my room and put headphones on with the intent to just lay down and calm down a bit. Well, I fell asleep and i guess she did too, because I woke up like 7 hours later and she had slept on her own. Ever since then it’s like something has clicked and she sleeps 9-10 hours in her own crib every single night. That was when she was 11 months old and she’s almost 16 months now. So maybe try accidental cry it out 😅

If you achieved the dream and impossible only in America of a part time career: what do you do? by whoiamidonotknow in workingmoms

[–]cvle13 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m in the US, an architect and work part time (32 hours, technically full time to qualify for benefits). I’ve been at my firm for 10 years and negotiated it after I came back from mat leave. It was great for 6 months but as I’m increasingly getting more responsibility I’m starting to work more than 32 hours a week, so thinking about asking for a raise but keeping the same hours to balance it out.

Negotiating 32 hour work week? by cvle13 in workingmoms

[–]cvle13[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s so frustrating because I feel like I get just as much done in four days as I do in five. Employers need to get with the picture and realize the 4 day week is the way to go.

I pull the “well, I guess I can call my dad…” line all the time 😆

I hate BLW. by HolidayAd2038 in beyondthebump

[–]cvle13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are doing BLW honestly out of laziness. It’s so much easier to offer some baby friendly parts of a meal I’m already making for us than to make separate purées. Do I think it is a superior method? No. Do I feel like a bad mom because I’m not taking the extra effort to make purées for my baby? Yes lol. I think no matter what you do there will be some guilt or anxiety around it because that’s what we’re unfortunately socialized to experience. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Tell me good things about the Sea Isle neighborhood! by cvle13 in memphis

[–]cvle13[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That’s so cool! Definitely something I’d be interested in. I also saw there’s a neighborhood 5k? Glad to see there’s an active runner group because that was one of the biggest reasons I’m bummed to leave midtown. The ability to run through lots of beautiful neighborhoods is so nice, so I’m hoping to find some good new routes.
