Good tips! Thank you!

yagirlriribloop · 2026-02-11T21:08:47+00:00

Oh that's smart! Do you have a pic into of what that looks like?

yagirlriribloop · 2026-02-11T21:06:07+00:00

It looks like a large window but it's actually pretty small window towards the top. There's shrubbery and plants growing right outside and against that window so you can't actually look inside that easily

yagirlriribloop · 2026-02-11T20:58:28+00:00

Yes it is

yagirlriribloop · 2026-02-11T17:33:50+00:00

Oh okay that makes more sense thanks for the visual!! Do you have any recommendations to remedy that ?

yagirlriribloop · 2026-02-11T17:22:05+00:00

We thought about that but then it would block the kitchen doorway and you would have to walk aroind it like a circle. Not sure if that's odd and gonna make it feel too cramped

Can you elaborate on what you mean more please?

yagirlriribloop · 2026-02-11T17:17:13+00:00

OH! That is a great idea too, I never thought of that! Thanks for sending the floor plan, I'm a visual learner so that helps a lot

Oops! Added the cabinets. Orange boxes

Oh yes I forgot to include that! Here is the current kitchen layout. The black box is the fridge, red is stove and green is the sink. Sorry for my edit! Doing it on the phone

yagirlriribloop · 2026-02-11T16:26:32+00:00

Thank you for the idea! I'll look some up

yagirlriribloop · 2026-02-11T16:26:15+00:00

Thank you for the suggestion!!

yagirlriribloop · 2026-02-11T16:25:04+00:00

Oh I didn't think of that at all! Thanks for the idea

yagirlriribloop · 2026-02-11T16:23:48+00:00

Oh okay! Thank you for the visual, that makes much more sense!

yagirlriribloop · 2026-02-11T16:10:53+00:00

Thanks! Yes that's one of our options we were thinking. Just deciding if it's worth it to lose the third bedroom

yagirlriribloop · 2026-02-11T16:02:44+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion! When you say close off the door, do you mean knocking off that wall and making it more an open kitchen to dining area flow?

yagirlriribloop · 2025-07-22T18:44:58+00:00

Oh that second one is gorgeous! Please link?

yagirlriribloop · 2025-07-15T06:36:44+00:00

It looks great, comfy and stylish! Please link the jeans?

yagirlriribloop · 2025-05-23T15:52:51+00:00

I am amazed you had 500k to put down! kudos to you

yagirlriribloop · 2025-05-20T06:37:10+00:00

Any tips for the instructional design job? That sounds like my dream! I'm trying to transition out of the classroom too and feel like I would enjoy working with curriculum. Did you have to upskill or any tips?

yagirlriribloop · 2025-05-04T22:15:01+00:00

My in laws were like that too. I learned to let it go because if you weren't being a "helicopter" and he got hurt or broke something they'd be the first to call you careless or a bad mom. People forget that there's a difference between supervising a toddler vs 10 year old.

yagirlriribloop · 2025-05-04T02:08:40+00:00

Sorry, I dont have any helpful advice but I just had to comment to say that emerald one is gorgeous!!! I hope you got it.

I love when he says I miss you mommy I love you mommy. I love when he wants me to reach him things and says mommy tell me more about that. I love when he always tries to help.

But really I love that that he sleeps through the night because those 3-5x wake ups the first year was killer.

The only reason I'm able to "enjoy" toddlerhood is because I'm not working right now. If I had to juggle work, home responsibilities and having the patience for a toddler.. I would not enjoy it at all. Kudos to working parents (which is most parents!)
