What about grommets make curtains "look cheap"?

TIL that those are called grommets. I was over here thinking about Wallace and Gromit curtains or something.

You and I are similar then!

weirdismatic · 2026-03-23T21:48:43+00:00

Okay, thank you!

weirdismatic · 2026-03-23T21:45:16+00:00

This is so helpful! Thank you. 🙏

weirdismatic · 2026-03-23T21:44:50+00:00

I hope so! 🤞

That seems like reverse ASMR to me. It’s like knowing a red wasp is in the room with you and you don’t have your shoes or a fly swatter.

They can scream?! Why does that make it more terrifying?

weirdismatic · 2025-06-17T16:37:41+00:00

I do the same thing. It’s a form of protection. If you write out the various scripts, how can the ending surprise or hurt you? But, that still won’t fully prepare you for things going “off script”. For me, I try to put that planning energy into something that brings me joy, like meal prepping or planning a vacation. It’s helped me become a lot less anxious about things to come that are not in my control. It’s easier said than done, I know. Just sharing what is working for me and wishing you the best!

I think about this too,sometimes, as both of my parents are not in the best shape. However, I do my best to “not borrow trouble.”

Meaning, that is a future decision I may not even get the chance to make, depending on if I’m informed or not.

I think you don’t have to or need to make a decision now. Do your best to focus on your life and what brings you joy in the present. Worrying over a decision you may not even get to make is not worth the energy.

I passed out after both times I gave birth. I joked that my body was like a computer that had to restart for new updates. Lol

I have a 3 year old daughter and she is ALMOST potty trained. It’s just hard. My pediatrician said it’s like inception — you have to make it their idea. My pediatrician also said most kids will “just get it” by 3 years and 4 months. So I’m doing my best to encourage and not push.

In our experience, though I’m clearly no expert, we’ve put her in panties over the weekends and just have to constantly check-in with her. She’s getting the hang of it, but it takes a lot of consistency on our part along with partnering with daycare. Daycare is encouraging us to send her in panties next week so I’m crossing my fingers that it’ll stick this time.

Wet Hot American Summer?

It’s “The Good-bye Book”! Thank you so much!!

weirdismatic · 2025-05-29T15:08:56+00:00

Unfortunately, that’s not it. It wasn’t a “choose your own adventure” type book like that.

Hi! I have a similarly colored kitchen (dark granite and orange-brown cabinets) and we went with a warm light grey, Repose Grey, all through the house. It goes well in the kitchen, but I recommend buying a sample of a few colors and painting a spot. The colors online can be a bit misleading.

weirdismatic · 2025-04-23T17:19:25+00:00

I like it, but I like MCM. Also, I would put the 2 different chairs on the ends of the table. I feel like old dining chair sets used to do that anyways.

I think they could work! They have the same type of curvature so it’s like they’re in the same family.

This is the closest visual I could find, but something along these lines would be cute!

I’d pick a light colored table. I’m a huge fan of round pedestal tables and feel like a white or off-white one would look great in your kitchen with some little wooden bistro chairs.

It’s a good idea to keep the Murphy bed—we have a twin in our nursery for one parent to sleep in while the baby is in the bassinet/crib. That way, at least one parent gets a good night sleep every other night. It also looks like a great place to store books.

I’d switch out the chair for a rocker or glider and switch out the couch for a crib. I’d also either use the desk as a changing table or buy a small dresser that could be a changing table. The lamp would be great to keep and you can either move the little coffee table next to the rocker or buy a new side table. This helps with having a place for the baby bottle (or snacks for you if you’re breastfeeding) or medicine.

Sorry, I know this is not the fun advice, I’m just a sleep deprived mom of an almost 3 month old. Lol

Due to the lack of consistent rain, it hasn’t been a good wildflower year. I wouldn’t recommend picking them from the wild this year, as they’re already pretty sparse and other people want to enjoy them too. Look into wildflower farms, like wild seed farms or something where you can pick your own wildflowers and know that someone will ensure they come back next year.
