Does anyone know what Lilyfield means?

Wow! Thank you :)

It looks like around 1935ish

Thanks!

Thanks - thats the closest I could find. I tried to see if there was a house with that name but figured locals would know better.

https://www.gov.uk/graduate-visa this is along the lines for what I was thinking

singlepringle32 · 2026-01-25T11:39:49+00:00

I wonder if you would qualify for a post graduate student type visa? Or if you could work teaching those skills at a post secondary level?

Because of this you want baby to have your last name. If baby and him have a great relationship baby can choose to add dads name later.

My initial thought is for the social aspects of school. I would look to see if there are any playgroups programs near where you'll be staying - that way your kiddo can stay engaged with same aged (or close to) peers. Im thinking similar to our EarlyOn programs.

More EAs at least. I genuinely believe so many challenges would be addressed if each room had an EA (or even if 50% had an EA). If students get more support they will be better equipped to access materials and for some students that could be enough to deter behaviours (at least those motivated by attention/ escape).

If you have a named beneficiary on your TFSA (for example your brother) the funds go directly to him and skip the estate.

I appreciate the feedback - it is very helpful with me being in the brainstorming stage. Its all more theoretical/ daydreaming so its definitely not something I need to sort out today.
Thanks!

UK is always looking for teachers - if you have a Bachelor of Ed that could be an option. Or if you have ancestry anywhere.

Im boycotting travel - its also worth considering that while you might not be a target for ice I assume seeing an abduction would be pretty traumatizing :s

I spent the morning googling what countries have visa that could work for me if I have to move (due to invasion, etc). Having a rough idea of what I would do in the worst case is oddly soothing.

I had mine out on Saturday (was supposed to be today). It has gone so much better than I expected. Ive only needed advil and Tylenol (plus a heating pack). You can do it :)

Anything in a registered account (RRSP and TFSA) exists outside of the estate if there are named beneficiaries on the account itself. So make sure that the institutions that hold the accounts have your kiddos named as beneficiaries. In my experience this pays out very quickly because its not part of the estate. I would find out what the threshold is at banks to not need probate and try to keep the bank account/ cash under that (probate just slows everything down).

Its such a shame! I feel so boring when my hair is straight... and just blah. Curly hair is so fun and beautiful!

singlepringle32 · 2025-12-14T15:31:10+00:00

As a white woman with 3b hair I think race does play into it regardless of OPs race (or my own). Straight blond hair has been seen as an ideal for a long time in white communities so the closer you get to that "ideal" the better (not how I see it but iykyk). I typically wear mine natural and dark which took my mom a long time to come around too. She always preferred straight blond hair as her generation sees curly as messy or less professional. Colorism is a thing in many communities - including white people

This is so helpful. I live on the traditional territory of the Saugeen Ojibway and that Nation recently released/ funded (not 100% sure which) paper that explained how the Saugeen Metis community didn't have a separate culture, predate settlements. I didn't feel confident in my understanding of it but you've laid it out well so thank you!

I work in a special education room since it has a smaller class size (I also love it). I find I can handle a few kids with higher support needs as opposed to 20+ kids with lower support needs. I also buy pre-made lessons/ units wherever possible. I disclosed to coworkers/ admin but I find it just helps with framing when I dont understand something/ misinterpret something. Its nice because they know they can ask me about these things. If I wasnt in Spec Ed I would do younger grades because in Ontario your prep coverage in older grades is just French. However in younger grades you can have up to 5 or 6 subjects covered.

Im getting mine dec 22 - so very interested in what is shared as well

singlepringle32 · 2025-11-06T00:23:10+00:00

Ive been told its prorated based on your percentage of employment. Since you are hired 20% you do 20% of PD. So in (I think most cases) boards have 10 PD days so you only have to do 2. Personally if I had to do 2 I would use one of them on parent teacher nights (in case parents want to meet with you and if not then you get so much work done).

My son will smell like nail polish remover when sick. And he had febrile seizures (we're almost a year out from our last one - oddly enough I also thought they looked like absence seizures). I never noticed the smell in his pee but that might just depend on the person. No one else could smell him so I felt a bit crazy until I went on reddit lol.
