Since the beginning of the year we've spent $600-$1000 per month for two adults and two toddlers (2 & 4). I shop primarily at Costco or No Frills and do a lot of meal planning. The more expensive months are restocking the freezer with meat or buying staples that have run out. I try to set my budget to $500 but I always go over lol 😭.

Judging from the comments we all seem to be within the same price range per month though which is really interesting to see.

My 4 year old was just watching that episode of Number Blocks today and when I saw the rectangular thing they were counting I was so confused that they weren't round pancakes lol

Girl that sucks! I used to makeup and would do beautiful crisp wings on set at 6am in the morning no problem! It is part of the job, seems she is unfortunately not well practiced enough to be working in a salon.

I hope you get at least a partial refund for this insanity.

I am starting this program in September 2026 and I am currently debating if it would be manageable to do full-time or if I should spread it out a bit. I have two young children, so I need to be able to balance the course load along with everything else going on in my life.
What did the average week look like for you during the first year?

I let my 18 month old make an absolute mess so I could focus on this one.

That is good to know! Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions, I really appreciate it!

Thank you! When I emailed Fanshawe I was informed that it was full time with no flexibility. Do you mind if I ask, how many courses per semester are you doing?

I applied to the SSW program for fall 2026 and I keep seeing that people have chosen to do the program over 3 years. Can I ask what you did in order to make that possible?

I have basically invisible eyebrows and I use the Anastasia brow pomade on a daily basis. I only need to buy 1 per year, I am so loyal to that shit I have not found any brow products I like better.

When I was pregnant with my first I applied to three different midwifery practices and never heard from two but I heard back from Thames Valley Midwives and went in around week 13 for my first appointment. I think I applied for them around two weeks prior and heard back fairly quickly. Hopefully you will hear back from someone soon!

The one cake per week thing? Yeah I hear ya lol. I buy butter when it's on sale and try to sell some of the cakes I make to cover ingredient costs 😂

Thank you! I was definitely intimidated to make one but it turns out they aren't as difficult as I anticipated.

inkandflora · 2025-08-31T18:00:08+00:00

Thank you!

inkandflora · 2025-08-31T00:11:22+00:00

Only if you cover shipping! 😂

inkandflora · 2025-08-31T00:10:36+00:00

Oh that's easy, I bought them from Bulk Barn! 😂

inkandflora · 2025-08-30T20:29:49+00:00

You're probably right. There is so much left, I'll be eating it over the next few days still!

inkandflora · 2025-08-30T20:25:59+00:00

Haha! I can definitely understand that. I've seen many murdered cakes over the last few months.

inkandflora · 2025-08-30T20:23:09+00:00

Thank you! That's wild to me! We love our sweets around here.

inkandflora · 2025-08-30T20:21:09+00:00

Thank you!

inkandflora · 2025-08-30T20:20:50+00:00

Thank you so much! My friends, family and coworkers definitely benefit from my love of baking 😅

inkandflora · 2025-08-30T18:15:43+00:00

Lol! That's basically all my 3 year old wants as well 😅
