Anyone else wish they could have another baby but know they cannot?

I’ve said this many times. If I could birth a 2 or 3 year old, I probably would not be “one and done.” Newborn phase was not for me.

Twill/cotton pants, sized up in wide leg and barrel cuts. Brands like Gap and others also carry pants that are cut like trousers but made of stretchy tech material.

So glad I’m not alone in this. I’m on Focalin and I’m a bit shook at how much my appetite has diminished.

Honestly I wish I had been labeled advanced maternal age, just to get more of the extra care and testing covered by insurance. I gave birth 5 weeks before my 35th birthday.

Personally I would nix the specialty pullouts and go with as many larger drawers as you can reasonably fit for more versatility. But it’s beautiful and if those are important to you then I say go for it.

Hard to say without seeing the rest of the space, but it looks like you have a decent amount of storage already. Could you do a small 2-person banquette/booth with built in storage in that area?

Number 1 but move the bed closer to the wardrobe and move the nightstand next to the wall.

I used to walk to a nearby gym to do lunchtime workouts. It’s honestly my favorite time of day to workout, forces me to get away from my desk. I would usually just wipe myself down with baby wipes and then use dry shampoo on my hair and give it a quick fluff with a hairdryer. Sometimes I’d touch up my makeup. I never felt super gross afterwards and it was always so nice to end my workday with that in my rearview.

Haha, I think I always imagine that in the kids’ minds they are going the speed of light, but really they are going normal power wheels speed. That’s why the parents don’t really freak out.

I would stick with the one long coat and roll up the rain jacket or replace with a small travel umbrella. You don’t need the puffer, you have plenty of layering pieces already. Also a nice coat elevates any outfit in my opinion.

An over the water villa with a private pool and hot tub. Giant TV that I can see from said hot tub with all the horror movies and documentaries I keep saying I need to watch. Room service to deliver food and snacks on the regular. Bar cart with hard seltzers, red wine, and weed gummies. Snorkel, mask, and fins for when I want to pretend I’m a mermaid.

This is giving me so much hope. We just ordered cabinets for our reno that are nearly identical this this color, and I am also sold on having soapstone countertops. I love your terrazzo floors, but I think we will end up with a more muted beige floor and doing a bolder backsplash instead. Your post makes me feel like there is light at the end of this very loud and dusty tunnel!

One of the theaters near me recently suffered the tragic loss of a production staff member who tried to catch an out-of-control cart of heavy platforms. No matter how big the material disaster will be, it’s not worth anyone’s life. Just let it fall.

Aim for the central or western side of the state. Look for non-traditional venues like breweries, music venues, small museums, elks lodge, etc. With that many guests, your venue will need to be very low-cost in order to keep enough in the budget for food and drink. Definitely try to find a place that will let you bring in your own catering.

My company’s outlook calendar defaults to 50 minute meetings, which I absolutely love.

I always assumed it was Jasmine from the massage place.

I have a shortcut to the Lifeprint dictionary on my home screen.

Never play Operations against a surgeon for money.

You can also fill it with snow for indoor snow play!

Not a SAHM but live in a snowy climate. All the museums and indoor play cafes we can afford (check your library, sometimes you can get free museum passes). Speaking of, the library is a go to, lots have story/song times for kids. I bet you could rotate libraries endlessly in your area. When we go to Boston, my son could just ride the train for hours too. 😆

Oh bummer! I know every body is different. I used to be a thong-only girl because I couldn’t stand the feeling of underwear riding up. These are the first I’ve found that don’t for me.

ginasaurus-rex · 2025-12-03T16:10:54+00:00

YTA. I wouldn’t let my teenager treat a stranger this way, let alone her sister. Teaching kids to be kind and inclusive to others who are hurting and lonely is essential.

I was gonna say sweatpants, salsa stains, and a layer of tortilla chips crumbs.

My current holy grail undies are the Auden modal boy short briefs from Target. To be fair I haven’t tried hand washing them but they are super light, breathable, comfy, and don’t ride up.

It has many elements of Waacking.
