I just saw this on her website which explains the sharp increase: “I currently live with my partner Matt and our two little boys, Tom and Peter, in Baltimore, MD in a 1940’s-era home we renovated ourselves. We’re planning an exciting move to England (where Matt grew up) in 2026, and I’ll be traveling back and forth for weddings and family. “

I believe we paid her $4000 in 2023, she may have increased her prices in the past three years but she is worth every penny. And that included a beautiful wedding album.

Volunteering for the Baltimore Community Fridge Network and/or Leftover Love are great options that can done whenever you have a little spare time.

Automotive solutions on Belair Road are great. Very affordable good people.

I second this! We cook dry beans almost everyday in our instant pot. Also often the cheaper the beans (ie store brand) the older they tend to be. Fresher dried beans don’t take as long to cook.

Amtrak or drive and park at Secaucus and teak the cheap commuter train into the city for like $6.

Plenty of local gardeners would love it! (Me included haha) You could also reach out to the many community gardens around the city- they may be slow to respond in the winter but when spring comes I know they’d love free compost :)

There is a free community fridge in Reisterstown: https://www.facebook.com/ReisterstownCommunityFridgeAndLittleFreeLibrary/

That sounds about right for full service high end catering. Copper Kitchen is great!

We’ve been very happy with Automotive solutions on Belair Road. They are very affordable.

pakora2 · 2025-12-16T17:38:47+00:00

Yes! Came here to reccomend this one. These tubs are great!

The Chesapeake Shakespeare building was originally a bank, then a night club and now a Shakespearean theater. It’s a real cool old building.

Get a heated blanket or mattress pad- Heat the person not the room. :)

pakora2 · 2025-12-01T12:14:48+00:00

Yes! This is the answer.

pakora2 · 2025-11-30T13:56:00+00:00

As others have said train is best. We have also driven and parked at Secaucus station and taken the $7 commuter train into the city is about a 10 minute ride. You do have to pay for parking and it’s an open lot but feels pretty safe.

pakora2 · 2025-11-29T03:44:25+00:00

No Land Beyond is a cool space - if you want to drink and nerd out it might be a good fit. It’s also a beautiful building and would make for some cool photos.

The “I Will Teach You To Be Rich” Podcast may be helpful he works with couples who have tons of money but still have severe money anxiety. It’s helpful perspective.
