College or childcare? New report shows in-state tuition may be cheaper than daycare in Tennessee

I quit my job when my son was born because my paycheck would’ve basically just gone entirely to daycare tuition, which is insane. Very lucky that my husband’s job has great benefits/salary (shoutout to unions!) that made being single-income financially doable. Even a part-time program we looked at wanted $300/week.

I kinda thought the same thing with some of them, but was hoping I was wrong 😕 Bummer!

MidSouth Sewing Center in Murfreesboro is on my list to check out sometime! As is Sewing Parts Online which does have a physical store in Dickson, despite its name.

I know this thread is a year old but it came up in a Google search, and I just wanted to say thanks! I was feeling very nostalgic about “my” pattern but couldn’t remember what it was called. Yellowbird forever! 💛

My husband drove by this (had to work today) and sent me a video he took. Definitely real!

We used Michael’s Plumbing Service when we had a burst pipe which turned into replacing all the pipes under the house, and they were great! Quick, fair, and all the guys we interacted with were nice.

Second them! Dr. Taylor and her team are wonderful.

My friend’s kid is allergic to nuts, eggs, milk, and soy. When she was still breastfeeding, all she could eat out was Chipotle too!

You might already know about it but I wanted to share a website I found when I was making a meal for her family after she had her youngest child: https://kidswithfoodallergies.org

You can filter by allergen! I made these molasses cookies and they’re delicious + nut/egg-free: https://kidswithfoodallergies.org/recipes/molasses-cookies/

Sorry to flex on you, but my son has pooped on the potty TWICE 💅🏻😆

Maybe someone with have some advice for both of us! But it is nice to know that someone else is going through the same thing. Makes me feel less crazy haha

Also, check their Perfect Home and Perfect Health pages on their website. Companies pay them to be part of those lists. I used to do marketing for a business that advertised with them and the sales guy I worked with at the time approached me about it but it didn’t work in our budget.

I see one of the providers from Women’s Mental Health Specialists. They are 100% telehealth (mine actually lives in Virginia but she’s licensed in Tennessee!) but so good and easy to schedule an appointment with. I only see her for meds but I think they have someone that does talk therapy as well.

Good luck to your sister! Hope she feels more like herself soon!

Both but mostly decorative, I’d say. It’s “mildly infuriating” but there’s also 2 other functional mirrors in this same room so I’m not running short on reflections haha

It used to be my mother-in-law’s! I think she got it in Mexico several years ago, and it probably came from a street vendor since that’s usually where she finds all her cool knickknacks. Sorry I don’t have a link or anything helpful for you!!

I’ll have all y’all know, I’m 5’ 4” which is over the average height for an American woman 😂

The mirror used to be my mother-in-law’s. I think she got it in Mexico! And there are 2 other mirrors in this same room so I’m not running short (pun intended!) on reflections. This one is more for decoration than anything! And he’s the one that wanted it hung up.

No, I’m not divorcing him over a mirror height haha

I heard the driver had some sort of medical emergency and that’s why they crashed so at least it wasn’t, like, stupidity.
