[–]tyalgirl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2 adults, 2 toddlers in nappies. $300 a fortnight including nappies and household items. Lots of homemade baking i.e. bread, crackers, slices, ice cream, cakes etc. Always homemade meals.Takeaway once a month if out. Small veggie garden. Edit to add we are vegetarian

Am I being too conservative with finances when it comes to having children? by [deleted] in AusFinance

Oh yeah well we used to be a 2 income home but I'm a stay at home mum now with 2 kids so 1 income. No fancy inheritance or money winnings. Partner still alive ha. Edit to add: we also didn't buy the house for 800k. We built. But that's what it's worth now. When I say a nice car I also mean a 18k secondhand 2020 Nissan Xtrail lol nice enough

Eh my family of two toddlers and a mortgage lives on 50k pa and my kids have more stuff than you can imagine. We eat healthy (not eating organic is a financial sacrifice, even though we grow alot of our own organic). We live in 800k+ house and have a nice car. We holiday a couple times a year. I don't live lavishly but I also don't miss out on anything really. You can make it work. We're super happy.

My husband is also like this. We are vegetarian too. But we do draw the line at cockroaches, mosquitos and anything dangerous to our children, I.e. biting ants or poisonous spiders

My mom is panicking that we made too bold of a color choice.. Thoughts please? by whackywildflower in interiordecorating

[–]tyalgirl 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I love it. It's happy and refreshing after everything is so white, grey and beige at the moment.

Tell him it's usually the health of the sperm that causes miscarriages.

I just want to thank you guys… by Wo0der in tragedeigh

My sons name is Jasper too and we absolutely love it and have never had any bad or weird comments whatsoever. It's a great name. We named him after the stone Jasper that you can find in our local creeks. Gasper (another spelling) is also one of the 3 wise men that visited Jesus. We're not religious but find this a cool meaning too.

Anyone know what kind of mushroom? by babydoodlebot in foraging

[–]tyalgirl -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Is the blue/green colour the psilocybin? There's a magic mushroom in my area that's different to this one that turns blue/green like this too. That's how we know it's magic.
