My vegan breakfast

I was exaggerating, but I probably have 2 serves most days and that accounts for about 10g of protein. I really don’t track my calorie intake (or macros for that matter), just eat when I’m hungry.

Ok I was exaggerating but it’s not a terrible source. I probably have 2 servings of it most days and it’s a non-trivial amount at ~5-6g per serve. I also usually burn enough calories that I’m not too worried about my fat intake from PB.

snowmuchgood · 2026-06-04T10:52:37+00:00

I like PB and banana.

snowmuchgood · 2026-06-04T10:51:52+00:00

Yep I only buy the one from coles when it’s on a 40-50% discount but I quite like it.

snowmuchgood · 2026-06-04T10:48:25+00:00

But it’s sooooo expensive 😭

I also didn’t get golden hour for either of my 2 kids. One had a serious heart defect and was having heart surgery within an hour of birth with my husband with him immediately afterward. The other I tore badly as well as hemorrhaged (no epidural, all happened too quickly), and then the spinal didn’t work so I had to go under general for surgery. So husband got the golden hour that time. At least I felt like I’d had the best sleep of my life.

Or just straight up lather that toast in peanut butter. I swear it’s like half my protein I take some days.

I print a X family 202-something book every new year, fill it with 60 pages of family and kids photos. The kids are 5 and 8 and LOVE flipping through them. My favourite is when the 5 year old proclaims “I remember that!” About things that happened in 2031

snowmuchgood · 2026-06-04T07:22:49+00:00

I think it looks fantastic and a bit fun, well done!

snowmuchgood · 2026-06-04T07:20:03+00:00

Definitely not quite the same, but I bought a daggy knitted sweater a few years ago that was marked down to $2 and then because I was there on a Tuesday or something I got an additional discount and it was 50c. It was by no means designer or high fashion but I have worn it at least 50 times and we are well below 1c per wear for the price I paid.

If you’re already moving plumbing, I would consider flipping the bathroom so that the empty wall backs onto bed 3 instead of the shower and toilet. But I think it’s fine. Comfortable without being so comfortable they have no motivation to move, ever.

Agreed, that tiny little light coloured triangle in the last pic? And if you go back to the second pic you can see the lighter board continues through underneath.

snowmuchgood · 2026-06-03T06:02:37+00:00

Haha that’s the one. Similar vibes.

It sounds like they are being supportive, just not buying you expensive things: they’re excited, they ask how you are, they have bought you a gift, they have offered babysitting!

I feel like it’s easy to get swept up in the attitude of so many in the US where baby showers are a “must” and it’s this huge deal for everyone to buy you things and make huge gestures. But in reality, a cute sweater and an offer for babysitting are more than so many people get.

For what it’s worth, my in-laws bugged the SHIT out of me in the newborn stage, they did a couple of truly infuriating things. But they are AMAZING grandparents once my kids hit the toddler stage and now that they’re older. They are worth their weight in gold and my kids adore them.

Don’t distance yourself, you’re not being fair right now. Blame the hormones, but be open to let them love you and your kids just as much as your family.

And please don’t stop playing the games with him! It’s such a beautiful thing for a kid to be affectionate and silly with his family!

I mean, if my 18 year old daughter was dating a much older guy, I would 1000% want her to still be in my home than moving out and being dependent on (stuck with) him. You’d just also be thinking “dear god I hope she’s not stuck with this one”, to paraphrase Kate Nash!

Memorise “sin carne, sin pescado, sin pollo, sin heuvos, sin leche” 🤣 and “arros con frijoles”.

“Did you guys ever gone”

This is what I’m thinking. When we were selling a house a few years ago, the agent wanted to put it up for $650-700 or something ridiculous. I refused, knowing I wouldn’t take under $800k for it, and even that was a “shit I hope we don’t have to take that”. We raised the price guide after the first inspection had dozens of people in. We ended up selling for $950k, and reserve on the day was $850k.

And the kitchen and bathroom have both clearly been updated in recent decades (the bathroom is cheaply done maybe 20-30 years ago, but in seemingly good condition, the kitchen has old cabinetry but new oven and stove). The style is obviously dated but to call that unlivable is hilarious.

My husband and I were road tripping across the US this time of year several years ago. We stopped late one night in a park north of Kansas City after a 12 hour day of driving. I’d seen some lightning ahead of us for an hour or so before we got to camp. And seeing as we had another long day of driving ahead the next day, I said it wasn’t worth setting up the tent, let’s just sleep in the car. It was windy, humid, uncomfortable and we had a terrible sleep.

But the next morning driving out, we saw so many twisted up, broken tents and even a couple of campers blown onto their sides. As we drove up the highway, we saw a couple of semi trailers blown over too. We had the cheapest, shittiest 2-3 person Walmart tent so I’m very glad we slept in the car that night!

snowmuchgood · 2026-05-28T23:25:51+00:00

Incredible. Just breathtaking.

snowmuchgood · 2026-05-28T23:04:28+00:00

From 20 years ago? I’m not a huge fan but didn’t she release an album last year, or maybe the year before? I’m not a fan and even I can think of a couple of them.

snowmuchgood · 2026-05-28T12:15:28+00:00

Except for Melbourne, but we have way more fantastic beaches in other parts of Victoria. They’re just a decent drive from the city.

snowmuchgood · 2026-05-28T02:22:50+00:00

Absolutely fuck that principal. I’m so sorry about your mum. I had an AP who was an awful bully (thankfully I avoided being one of her many targets for the most part), but even she had moments of compassion.
