Excuse me? Get this off my timeline. I mean I guess I did do this. Got married young (23) and have more kids than I can afford (1).

Hi Lidl shoppers, you do not get to use all the little kid carts instead of using a basket *and* be annoyed at my kid who will not sit in the cart and wants to run around because pushing one of these carts that are intended for children would have distracted her from such mischief.

So glad Highland Park library added this little step stool. Pretty sure this girl likes checking out books more than reading them.

I keep seeing this meme but I'm pretty sure my great grandparents grew up in tenements with no heat in Gilded Age New York City and probably would have loved some fruit by the foot.

I have a real love hate relationship with the Little Feminist board books (mostly hate) and I'm seriously considering shading in Frida Kahlo's eyebrow with some marker.

My girly has a closet full of pretty smocked dresses and it will be too cold for any of them at the Easter egg hunt so I stitched up the underarms and put the buttons on this cardigan (that I started knitting when she was in the hospital) for her to wear tomorrow.

You're cooler than me now. My best friend since high school sent me this pic of me in 2009. Not remotely cool. So much hair. So much angst. But very different than the angst I'm feeling now 😬😬

Ok friendos I hate to distract anyone from the news but what do you call this thing? In my mind it's a merry-go-round which is something totally separate from a carousel (which would have horses and stuff). People at toddler playgroup disagreed. Is this more weird NY/NJ quirkiness or am I wrong?

Highly recommend kneading some sandwich bread in these times as a means of dealing with frustration and because everything is stupid and expensive and these come out to less than a dollar a loaf even with organic flour.

Good thing about having a child like this is that there's just not that much time for doomscrolling.

Things are stupid and getting more expensive done thing friends and I have done which is really cool is start a Frontier Coop buying club. We order every couple of months and the prices are good and you get a giant box for your toddler to play in. wholesale.frontiercoop.com/how-to-start...

I've noticed online a switch in my suggested posts from unsafe canning recipes to what feels like pushing women out of the public sphere in a super aesthetic way which is really weird and gross.

My weird new years resolution is to write down all the recipes that I cook frequently in my little recipe binder and it's a fun little project so far which will hopefully improve my once excellent handwriting. Can you tell my recipe book is from 1990?
