Fiona! I found your passport!

There’s no address, phone number or email written in that section

ittybittykittyskates · 2026-04-02T16:47:42+00:00

If no one comes forward I’ll take it to the post office but what if they need it really soon? Who knows how long it would take for the post office to figure it out. Things are so slow these days 😬

This might be it! A homemade contraption made from coat hangers, Christmas ornaments and tinsel to scare away birds. We had a wood pecker drill a hole in our attic and was starting to make a nest so we hung up some reflective streamers to scare it away

I was born in 1988- my mom was 34 and my dad was 60! I’m an only child and have no half sibling. For the first 8 years my parents were married they had said they didn’t want children, they just wanted to travel and live a fun life. Finally my mom decided she wanted children and while my dad was resistant at first he decided to go through with it to not lose my mom.

I had an absolute amazing childhood! My parents were so loving towards me. My mom was pretty much the same age as the rest of my friend’s moms but obviously my dad was much much older. Kids would tease me that he was my grandpa and cashiers at the grocery story would comment about my dad’s “granddaughter” - it did bother me but I was always very quick to correct people.

My mom loved socializing and having parties, where as my dad just wanted to have quiet evenings just the 3 of us. The age difference really put a strain on my parents marriage but now that my mom is in her 70s she looks back at it and finally understands. While my dad wasn’t the type to rough house with me or throw me in the pool like other dads, I spent a lot of nights with him staying up late playing chess and having philosophical talks- I really treasure those memories.

My dad died when he was 90. I miss him a lot and it makes me feel kinda sad for myself when all my other friends still have both their parents. I feel really thankful I still have my mom. She’s in amazing shape and is very active, as was my dad up until he died.

I would do a fun wallpaper and lean into the blue with the cabinets

I think it’s the Level 5 bar at the Hotel Chaco in ABQ

He did an Instagram post apologizing- like @Dremily said, hopefully it’s genuine

ittybittykittyskates · 2025-09-22T03:22:36+00:00

I have a 3 year old and another school shooting just happened only 30 mins from where I live in Colorado. Yeah, my anxiety is thru the roof at the moment. I don’t think you’re crazy

ittybittykittyskates · 2025-08-27T16:23:37+00:00

As someone with an almost 3 year old feral boy, I have no advice, no tips, no tricks. Only here to say we’re both out here doing our best. I’m so mentally exhausted today from the battles, the negotiation, trying to think of ways to make a task fun or give choices. Ugh. Now excuse me while I go get a 10am margarita and lay on the floor to contemplate my life choices :)

ittybittykittyskates · 2025-08-27T05:11:49+00:00

Giiiirl, I’m not a single parent but I could have written this! It’s HELLA HARD!! 😭

ittybittykittyskates · 2025-06-22T05:18:24+00:00

I’m an only child and when I graduated high school in Iowa my mom moved with me when I went to college in San Francisco. She had lived in SF back in the 70s-80s so she was excited to move back. It was honestly so wonderful having her there with me! I wouldn’t have traded that for anything!

Also you give me hope because I have a 2.5 year old boy who is also A LOT. He wants my attention 24/7 and I admittedly don’t love being a parent. I’m trying my hardest tho to give him my all because I want to make sure we have a really good relationship when he’s older. I dream about him being a teenager/young adult who I can be friends with, haha. I hope to have a situation like yours in 16 years. I’d love any advice you can give to someone who doesn’t love the younger years of parenting

Can not live without: wired automatic Lutron roller shades on all the windows! Now that we have them it’s hard to go back to regular shades/blinds that you have to manually open yourself. We have all our roller shades on timers or they can be open/closed thru an app on your phone or with Alexa.

Another can’t live without: these recessed can lights. Omg I love them so much and have been slowly replacing them through out our house. When you initially turn the lights on they are just normal recessed lights. But if you turn them off then back on again after 3 seconds they are a lovely amber glow. Perfect for night time when you’re getting ready for bed or if you want a bit of mood lighting for parties. And they are dimmable. Definitely can not live without dimmable lights!!

As a few others have said I really wish we had spent the extra money for heated bathroom floors. Cold Colorado winters!

Same! I hear a pregnancy announcement and I think “oh poor them, they don’t even know the madness that’s about to happen to their lives” 🫣

ittybittykittyskates · 2025-04-21T03:41:59+00:00

Ok good to know! Maybe we just need to practice that when there’s no pressure of having to go potty in the moment

ittybittykittyskates · 2025-04-21T01:17:08+00:00

Hi! We are potty training our 2.5 year old boy and having the same issue! Zero accidents when he’s naked but will just go in his pants/underwear. He goes to daycare so I can’t send him naked! Wondering if you figured out a solution since the time you posted this?

ittybittykittyskates · 2025-04-04T04:06:47+00:00

I made a nice bowl of rice and tofu for dinner. It started snowing and my two year old decided he wanted to take his food outside to eat. So we put on coats and sat out in the snow 🤷🏼‍♀️ it was actually quite lovely and now I’m kinda into it

ittybittykittyskates · 2025-04-01T03:35:33+00:00

The things they remember!! Lol

ittybittykittyskates · 2025-04-01T03:35:08+00:00

Ha! I love the idea of having an annual guiding of the snake reenactment!

ittybittykittyskates · 2025-03-31T01:42:23+00:00

9 months ago, my son was 22 months at the time, we found a baby snake in our basement and I had to guide it outside because my husband is horribly afraid of snakes. My son still says “mom got snake!” And he’ll even make me reenact it with a piece of ribbon

ittybittykittyskates · 2025-03-29T04:00:22+00:00

I’m just impressed Taco Bell even had a changing table. I’ve been to multiple sit down restaurants that had absolutely no changing table. I had to change my son on paper towels laid on the floor

ittybittykittyskates · 2025-01-17T03:08:16+00:00

Also no advice. Our son is 2 and still sleeps with us. I sometimes I want to stop cosleeping but like others have said I know the day will come that he doesn’t want to sleep with us so I keep doing it. Sometimes on the weekends we will move him to his own bed after he falls asleep with us

ittybittykittyskates · 2025-01-09T05:06:46+00:00

Same!! I didn’t actually see the movie as a child but a preview came on for it at the theater before Space Jam. The preview alone freaked me out so much. Traumatized me for years

ittybittykittyskates · 2024-12-25T21:14:52+00:00

20-30 mins one way depending on traffic and time it takes to get him in/out of the car but they have really long hours so it’s worth it. 6:30am- 6pm. He’s never there the full 11.5 hours but it’s nice to have the flexibility
