Hey Alex – We’ve migrated over to Youtube Music for now since Google Play is gone. Definitely do not love it as it seems like it has more ads. I’ve actually been listening to more and more podcasts/audiobooks lately and less music so I haven’t spent too much time digging into an alternative. I also just like tuning into the FM radio on my alarm clock when we’re at home (ads that way too but I like how we give up control of what’s coming next). Sometimes I’ll Google “Youtube Playlists Smooth Jazz” and can find 3+ hours of music that way.

And I also LOVE that idea to write a letter to your little one every Christmas and keep it until they’re 18. Aww, what a lovely gift that will be for Finn one day! Wish I’d thought of that.

Instead, we kept a little notebook for each of my boys to write down all the silly things they said/did. Now that they’re older, they love reading the entries and asking me about the story behind each one.

It’s one of their favourite keepsakes, and it cost nothing (the notebooks were free—they were wedding favours)! Gifts like that are so meaningful and priceless.

Ah haha sorry to mistakenly make some wrong guesses there!

I can see the pros to the 2 blade set up. If I ever see a friend or family member with them I’ll try them out to see if it’s worth the switch 🙂

Oh my, good thing I popped back over here to check if you had responded to my comment as I didn’t get an email – No, not expecting, and not expecting to be expecting anytime soon either! LOL Just genuinely curious and interested in that post 🙂
I’d say that pizza scissors are better than a traditional pizza cutter because they have 2 blades instead of one, PLUS they can be used to cut other stuff, and they can be used as a scooper! Anyways, we don’t even have pizza scissors but I am nostalgic about when I had a pair back in university… haha

Haha maybe we are twins?! Am I reading in between the lines right… does this mean you’re expecting…?!?

And shoot I forgot I had to slip in another guest interview post so the baby costs is scheduled for 9/30 – sorry for the delay!

Haha by no means am I knocking your love for pizza scissors. Is there really a noticeable difference between the scissors and a traditional pizza slicer?

Of course, happy to help Diana! Glad to hear there were some actionable takeaways for you from this post. Yes the Canadian Tire Triangle cc is a great gem – no annual fee too so why not!

I do have to protest (confess?) one thing though – I think pizza scissors are like the best invention ever!!
Looking forward to the rundown of 1 year of baby costs – I've been waiting on that one for awhile!
