I like the pewter, mamabear. How long does the stain last? Do you think you'll grow sick of it?

Finished the Handmaid's Tale. So good! I didn't realize Hulu releases 1 episode at a time. I need more to binge! Excellent series.

I need N 13’s opinion. I remember a few months ago we discussed bringing siblings to birthday parties without discussion. S got an invitation to a party he/I want to attend but my husband will be away so I’d have to bring B. I know the mom a little bit but I would not say we are more than casual acquaintances (from other parties and 1 moms night out a few months ago)
Anyway I sent her this email today and now I’m second guessing it. Do you think it was tacky of me?
“Thanks for including S for E’s birthday party.
I am trying to work it out to attend, but it looks like my husband will be out of town. If I can't find anyone to watch B (who is under 2), would it be ok if he came? He wouldn't participate in anything, so you wouldn't need to count him in anything. I hate to even ask, but I know S would love to go and I would hate to have him miss out.
My hope is I can get someone to come watch him so it won't be necessary, but if not, I'm just trying to see my other options.
Thanks!”

Oh and the birthday girl has a younger sister just a few months younger than B is. Not that it really matters, but for some reason I felt the need to tell you that

jewels That is totally fine. I pretty much always (have to) bring all my kids. I pay for my extras if needed and obviously don’t expect a party favor or anything for them. Honestly everyone has been inviting and understanding and most of them have multiple kids and get it. And I don’t think I’ve ever been the only parent to bring a sibling to any party we’ve been to.

jewels I think that is perfectly acceptable and did not budge the needle on my tacky-meter (which is very sensitive!) I cant imagine anyone taking issue with that, esp since you were polite enough to mention it in advance.

Very polite jewels. Anymore, unless it's a party at someone's house or they've rented a venue for a limited number if people I don't even ask because I warn the sibling ahead of time they will be with me and not in the party area and I pay for their expenses.

Thanks guys. It’s at a craft studio type place. She actually emailed me back shortly after I posted it and said to absolutely bring him, so I feel better.

I’m sorry you’re struggling wedding. We’re here for you. mamabear I don’t personally like that tone of brown, it’s too orange or something, so I’d go with the grey.

dapostrophe didn't you have a color question? Sorry I'm in that decorating mindset now lol Yes! But I am currently too pregnant and it is too late in the day for me to walk down 2 flights of stairs to snap a pic of the area I want feedback on. I will do it first thing tomorrow when I have energy again and I'm not plugged into a wall via my heating pad 😉

Any decent host would say yes to that...and not like when I invited a classmate and the mom RSVPed for her daughter, her other daughter, and 2 cousins in town visiting 🤔.

I was another for not at all tacky, I’m all about communication even if it feels a bit awkward at least it’s out there. Glad you followed your gut and I’m so happy that the 3 of you can go

Finished the Handmaid's Tale. So good! I didn't realize Hulu releases 1 episode at a time. I need more to binge! Excellent series. It is SO good, but I can't do more than one or two episodes a night. It stays with me for quite a while after I watch. Maybe I should try to watch it during the day. Before bed is a bit much.

I have watched it mostly during the day which has helped. I also read the book (taking breaks over a long period of time) so I knew some of what to expect.

Great additions to flush out the story more.
