We just got done (well, most of the way) remodeling the kitchen, and except for an oven snafu (the one I ordered, despite being approved by the contractor, was too big for the oven space. Waiting on the properly fitting one to be delivered and installed), it went pretty smoothly. As you can see, we didn't change anything about the layout of the kitchen, just the finishes. We also painted our existing cabinets rather than get new ones. Ours still had lots of life in them, I just hated the paint job. We paid about $25k for the remodel, including appliances, but we already had a fridge and dishwasher, so the appliances ar

I didn't notice this til way, way past the row it's on, so I'm definitely not going to rip it out and go back and I'm totally ok with it staying, but I would like to know what I did so I can hopefully avoid it in the future. I'm using 50/50 wool/acrylic bulky yarn on size 13 needles, if it helps.

Followed a KathleenLights tutorial for this palette, and although I like how it turned out, I feel like winged out shadow just sort of doesn't work for my eye shape, and honestly I'm not even sure what my eye shape is, but I'm pretty sure I'm slightly hooded and downturned. Any CC on any part of this is welcome!

Waiting on a call back from the pediatrician, but I wanted to see if anyone has been through anything similar. About once a month since the beginning of the year, my toddler runs a fever. That's the only symptom she ever shows, and the fever makes her feel crappy, but once she's had some meds to bring it down, she's fine again. It never lasts more than a day, which makes it tough to bring her in for it because it comes and goes so quickly. I'm sure this is just a weird coincidence and is actually meaningless, but it's always on a Friday. I mean, every single time this has happened, it's on a Friday. Like I said, no other symptoms. Normal diapers, eats and drinks fine, and except the fever ma

Just FYI

I know this varies hugely based on region, but I can't get even the slightest idea of what putting my 2 year old in daycare for 2-3 days a week would cost. I know roughly what full time daycare around here costs, but I don't know anyone that does part time. Obviously I'm going to tour some places and get more info, but right now I'm trying to determine if this is something we can afford at all. I'm a SAHM and the only reason I'd be doing this is for some socialization type stuff for my daughter. If you do part time daycare, would you mind telling me how much you pay for it and whether you live in a rural, urban, or suburban area? Thanks!

Here's the original post. Y'all. I didn't get sick. I don't know how I managed it. Considering my daughter threw up all down my front and into my lap at one point, I shouldn't have been able to avoid this unless I happen to be one of the people genetically predisposed to not getting norovirus. I have no other explanation for it. I mean, I did clean like a crazy person and wash my hands so often my knuckles were bleeding by the end of it, but if this stuff is as contagious as the Internet makes it out to be, I should've gotten it. Every other person who lives in my house (4 other people)

I'm pretty sure I'm a dead man walking and it's only a matter of time, but if other people managed to avoid plague, I would like to know about it. My husband got toilet hugging sick a week ago today. I lysol'd the shit out of the house and washed my hands like a crazy person, but you can't out Lysol a 16 month old who literally licks the floor, so obviously our daughter got it. My husband's mother and my husband's granddad both live with us, and they came down with it last night. I'm the only person who hasn't been sick yet, but my kid full on barfed all over me while sitting in my lap Sunday afternoon, so I'm basically counting the hours. My knuckles are raw from all the hand washing, and I

My daughter is 15 months old, and this week is the first time she's ever had any kind of gastrointestinal issue, so I have no baseline for what's normal and what's not. She started getting sick on Monday, and she was so limp and lethargic and glassy eyed that I got scared and brought her in to the doctor. Doctor says it's a virus, gives her zofran, tells me to feed her bland food, plenty of fluids, the regular deal. Her fever breaks, she perks right up, has a bit to eat and drink, we're good. Back to normal Tuesday and Wednesday, though her appetite was a bit diminished. This morning, she threw up her breakfast. Except abnormally long naps, was otherwise normal, no fever, so I just thought i

I took a mostly unplanned year off from quilting to be pregnant and take care of a newborn, which guys I don't know if you know this, is pretty time consuming. This quilt for my husband was my first project to come back to quilting, and I am just so pleased with how it turned out. The pattern is from Elizabeth Hartman's The Practical Guide to Patchwork, but I can't for the life of me remember the name of the pattern. Fabric is PB&J by BasicGrey for Moda, Kona Ash for sashing, and Kona Marine for the framing pieces on the blocks. Quilting is (sort of, mostly) straight horizontal l

My 13 month old was a great eater up until about two months ago. She's got quite a lot of teeth, 9 or 10. Up until recently, she happily ate anything I put in front of her. Now she either spits out food, or throws it on the floor for the dog. I thought maybe it was a wanting to feed herself thing, so I put her food on her high chair tray to let her feed herself. She throws it on the floor mostly. She'll take bites from my hand or from a spoon, chew for a minute, then spit it out. If I can't get her to swallow her food after many many tries, I stop the meal. I don't want to make meal times into a dreadful thing by forcing her to eat. I'm not giving her terrible food, it's all stuff I eat. A l

I hired a painting company to paint the interior of my house and stain my front deck. I didn't find out until after the job was underway that the people who performed the job were not actually employed by the company I hired, but were subcontracted to do the job, but the job was done properly and on time, so it was no skin off my back at the time. Job was completed, I paid my invoice in full and on time. About three weeks after the job was done, 2 men showed up at my door wanting to know if I was unhappy with the job they'd done because they hadn't been paid. I told them I had paid, and provided a copy of my zeroed out invoice from their contractor. Yesterday, I got a certified letter from a
