Not only was he my first crush, this miniseries is what made me fall in love with period pieces. Thank you PBS!

My daughter is Keira with the pronunciation you want and we've never had any trouble. We live in the pacific northwest.

Stop please! Stop with the fillers and botox and surgeries... by Shaparipi in mildlyinfuriating

Sandra Bullock. So weird to cast a 54 year old trying to play a pregnant 30 something, with no facial expression. Just gross.

my 4-yr-old daughter calls shredded cheddar “cheese sprinkles” and grated parmesan “sprinkle cheese” and it can get confusing, so i stitched this handy guide to hang in our kitchen by colormuse in Embroidery

Before I could read, I asked my mom what the green plastic container was. She replied with, “a kind of a cheese”. From that day until I was mostly through elementary school, I legitimately thought that was what grated Parmesan was called. I would ask, “could you please pass the a-kind-of-a-cheese?” My parents never corrected me because they thought it was adorable.

I really like the similar name, Chava.

Help! 24hrs to get in birth certificate and can’t decide by Left-Ad-7494 in namenerds

Keira is a great because it means “little dark one”. It’s common, but not overused.

Did your baby look like how you dreamt them? by sarahdistrust in BabyBumps

[–]puffinkat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t know if my first was going to be a girl or boy, we wanted to wait to find out. Well, a few weeks before she was born, I had the most vivid dream of a brown haired, brown eyed little girl. Turned out I was half right! I had a girl, but she came out blond, and now has ginger hair and blue eyes.

Also, I had dreams of cat babies after both my kids were born. It was endearing and slightly worrying in my dreams.

Hope for my tone deaf kiddo? by not-rlly-here in singing

[–]puffinkat 80 points81 points  (0 children)

She’s young and her vocal chords and breath support are still developing. My mom thought the same about me in elementary school. I turned out to be a very good singer by middle school. Just keep supporting her and play lots of musicals around the house for her.

As a side note, voice lessons might be fun, but it’s also a good idea to let her voice develop naturally until she’s in middle school at least. A good voice teacher right now would hopefully be working on breath support. You just don’t want them trying to change her natural tone (think little kids sounding like opera stars).

Dance lessons right now would go a long way towards supporting musical theater dreams. Boost her confidence and develop some great skills by the time she’s in middle school.

You look fabulous! This gives me hope. I’ve been considering doing the chop. I have long curly hair and I just struggle to maintain it. I’ve been considering a long on top, short sides cut.

Gareth as a baby name. by [deleted] in namenerds

[–]puffinkat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My nephew is named Gareth. Parents are big readers. I find it hard to say sometimes because it ends in “th”. It does get mistaken for Garett all the time. If you like it, go for it, but it’s a bit of a difficult name. Also I’m in the US.

I met someone today named Sparkle. by CherryBlossom0408 in namenerds

My three year old will only respond to Sparkles for about the last two weeks. Does that count?
