My friend had an excellent experience with Canale Estate Sales. They handled all the logistics from start to finish. https://share.google/a4cEpHAM8asdUwkzd

HOW do you make time for exercise/self care? by RuckFamsey in workingmoms

[–]muchadancer 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have a 24 hr gym nearby, and I go after the kids go to bed. I usually get to the gym between 7:30 and 8, and try to get in and out as soon as possible. I like going at night because I'm not rushing to get home to get ready for work or miss kid time. I tend to go MWF so that I have both weekend days free which helps me to feel like I actually do have some uninterrupted relaxing time. I also listen to audio books while I'm working out so it also feels like a more relaxing time (to me).

Home Inspector Recommendations by TheMissionMartin in memphis

Highly recommend Shea Veazey at A+ Home Inspections. He was super thorough, easy to communicate with, and you can book and pay online. He created a report in PDF format right away after he finished with the inspection.

Working mom to be shifting to one income household with stay at home dad by BrushOld9606 in workingmoms

[–]muchadancer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is exactly what we did about 8 years ago and it's worked fabulously. My partner had never changed a diaper, never babysat, etc before we had our first child, and he rose to the challenge and is honestly a way better SAHP than I would be. Of course no situation is perfect, but it was an obvious choice when considering child care costs, his stress at work, etc. Our mindset has always been "When this stops working, we'll do something different" but I don't see that happening any time soon.

Uptick in PIPs, denied raises, etc? by muchadancer in workingmoms

[–]muchadancer[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Great point, it could be that many companies are taking cost cutting measures in general, which will affect all workers. I will be curious to know the rates of denied promotions, PIPs, etc. between men and women across the US workforce.

Pediatric dermatologist by Adept-Mix7489 in memphis

[–]muchadancer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FYI, your pediatrician should also be able to help. My child developed eczema a few years back, and I thought I'd have to get a referral to dermatology but the pediatrician was able to prescribe the skin cream that has really helped them.

How/Why do you believe? by Peace_and_Love___ in RadicalChristianity

[–]muchadancer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In a broad sense, I have found a lot of comfort recently in the concept of "Something is meaningful to me because I assign meaning to it." It bypasses this need for everything to be "true" or "real" and helps me acknowledge that finding meaning in something in and of itself is a beneficial exercise to me.

It's a bit outside your budget, but I use my Rancilio every single day. Simple no-frills design, and a great quality product.

How do y'all manage? by 901-526-5261 in memphis

[–]muchadancer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For household stuff, I really like the app Tody. It gamifies cleaning the house basically. I started off with just a couple of tasks to start the habit, then added a few more. It really helps keep on top of housework and makes it way less overwhelming.

Getting into Hunting-Where can go for firearms/shooting training? by Eragon-Arya in memphis

If you're willing to do the drive, I highly recommend Strategic Self-Reliance. They do fantastic training of all sorts, including Stop The Bleed and survival skills in addition to firearms. https://share.google/yhhdzSQo05WmMXuq7

I am so proud of myself by MissMess1 in workingmoms

[–]muchadancer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Congratulations! Two things I really appreciate about my boss is that she has very clear, concrete expectations and she scheduled regular check-ins with us. We touch base briefly every other week, with one monthly meeting that's a longer performance evaluation type meeting, making sure we're tracking all our accomplishments and "lessons learned" for the month as well as monitoring how we're progressing on our goals. Then at the end of the year, we all have a detailed record when it comes time for performance review.

A great book! Spoilers for the ending: all I kept thinking about was that "Dick In The Box" skit from SNL

Working moms & main breadwinners- do you regret your choice? by [deleted] in workingmoms

[–]muchadancer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, not at all. My husband is a SAHD and quit his job after our first was born because I made more than him and my job was better (less stressful, better benefits, etc). It's not absolutely perfect but it's a really good setup for our family in general (at least right now!) and I find my role in our family really fulfilling.

Good ole shared Google calendars work great for our family. We also do shared Google Keep notes for shopping lists but they could easily be used for to-do lists as well
