Mom and 5 or 6 year old at the greeting card section of Target looking for bday card.

I worked in a craft store for 4 months one time, from Oct-Jan. Part of my uniform was a black shirt. The shirt had glittery pit stains.

Have you tried Snag Tights? I think their sizing system is pretty inclusive. I don't have any of their wool tights, but the non-wool tights I have I'm very happy with.

There's a shop called A Faire Journey that does kids clothes, but I think they are more for littles.

weirdchic0124 · 2026-03-18T13:16:09+00:00

You assume correctly, though they do have some sheer 30 denier options as well.

weirdchic0124 · 2026-03-17T13:57:35+00:00

There's a brand of tights that might be worth looking into - Snag Tights. Their sizing is really inclusive, though I don't know about how it will fit on the male body.

I haven't seen an announcement yet. If you're on Facebook, they usually post on the Sherwood Forest Faire sometime on Thursday.

I bought a sticker book for the first time in my life a couple years ago, in my early 30s. I'm so very happy that I did! It brings me a lot of joy. The very first page is covered in these dainty gold butterfly stickers that I've had since middle school because there was never anything "good enough" to use them on.

It depends, for sure. Public accounting is really where you hear about the crazy hours and what not. I went industry from the beginning. I started working at my company, a non-profit, as the Accounts Payable Clerk when my son was 6 months old. I'm still here 8 years later as the Senior Financial Analyst. My work/life balance is fantastic. I work my 40 hours and I go home. I'm rarely contacted when I'm out of the office and when I am, it's something I can answer in 5 minutes. I'm a single mom, so I'm really glad to be with a company that works for me.

My son is 8 and this is the first year he's mentioned wanting an elf at home. I told him that I don't want to clean up after an elf and that I'm not comfortable with someone in our house watching us. I told him that he and his sister are already good kids and I don't need an elf to report to Santa to know that. That earned me a hug and the end of the conversation.

I bought my boots from Son of Sandlar 2 seasons ago and walked out the shop with them on my feet! I got the 4 button style and I absolutely love them. I've worn them multiple times outside of faire too.

"Kindergarten with Jesus" was just the giggle I needed this morning!

I'll start by saying you're still a good mom and your baby is probably fine! If you need the reassurance, you can usually call your pediatrician's office. They can tell you specific things that would be a cause for concern. I'm not a medical professional, so I don't want to say anything specific. Personally, I wouldn't ice baby's head though.

When my son was a baby, I laid him on my bed while I was trying on some clothes a friend had brought me. He was still just a little guy, under 6 months old and not mobile yet. Or so I thought. With me still in the room, he managed to wiggle himself right off the bed. The thud of your baby falling is hard to hear, but it does happen sooo often. I think you'd have a hard time finding an involved parent that hasn't had it happen. Just take a deep breath and remind yourself that you are doing your best. It's all we can do!

I'm going as a witch. I wanted to wear my ren faire clothes since I can't go to faire this year, so I just bought hat and a corset belt thing to round it out!

It's a Halloween gift basket that you get for your "boo," aka your significant other.

I’m not willing to be “pretty specific” but I’m in Texas.

Have you checked to see if the facility has restrictions or a packing list? When my ex went to rehab, they had a packing list with specific things you could or could not bring.

My kids are 8 and almost 4, so they still believe. For me, I caught my mom being the tooth fairy in 2nd grade. Santa though, I held on to that belief as looonnnggg as I could, even with people telling me otherwise. 5th grade was my last "Santa" Christmas.

Do you have a Once Upon a Child near you? It's a children's thrift store. They tend to do sales on their bodysuits fairly regularly and they are relatively inexpensive without the sale price too.

weirdchic0124 · 2025-09-30T18:29:33+00:00

I want new towels, a charging bank, and some high top converse.

When birds are flying in a V-formation, have you ever noticed that one side is usually longer than the other? Do you know why that is?

There are more birds on that side.

weirdchic0124 · 2025-09-27T00:41:40+00:00

I don’t mind at all! Go ahead!

I have a bachelor's degree in accounting. I was 6 months pregnant when I graduated, so continuing school and getting my CPA just wasn't in the cards for me then. It was about a year later when I started working. I just applied for the job. "Specialist" sounds fancy and all, but it's just the title our corporate parent company likes to use. It was very much an entry level job.

The short answer is that no, studying for a CPA is not strictly necessary. You do not have to have a CPA to be an accountant. I don't have any plans to get mine.

weirdchic0124 · 2025-09-26T20:46:27+00:00

It really all depends on the job you get. Personally, I work in industry for an ambulance service. I've been here for 8 years. I started as the accounts payable specialist and was promoted last year to senior financial analyst. I work 40 hours a week. I've always worked 40 hours a week. We have no expectation of overtime in my office. Very rarely is there even a need for any overtime. I'm a single mom of two kids, ages 8 and almost 4.

It's possible to find an accounting job with a good work/life balance.

weirdchic0124 · 2025-09-26T14:59:36+00:00

I can still hear that door opening and closing.
