He's on gab, too.
Right now I'd say no. (But given how everything seems to be totally whack-a-do in the world, I reserve the right to alter that position.)
They have a kind of sweet story behind why they chose the name Magnolia.
*Chip and Joanna Gaines have been inspiring couple goals since the first season of Fixer Upper aired on HGTV. Together, they've built Magnolia, a home empire that includes everything from a real estate company to a lifestyle shop. And while we feel like we know practically everything about Chip, Joanna, and their business, we were touched by the cute story behind choosing the name Magnolia.
In an interview with Glamour, Chip explained the significance of magnolia trees in their relationship. "When we were just dating, I would pick these blooms from Magnolia trees," Chip shared. "If you've ever seen them, they are almost just bowl-like, and that whole thing just always inspired us. So when we had the opportunity and were trying to figure out what to name her little boutique, Magnolia Market just stood out to us. That stuck with us and here we are now in furniture and paint, and all the bits and pieces will have some magnolia statement to it."
Today, the magnolia tree is just as symbolic for the couple. Chip and Joanna plant a magnolia tree in front of every home they renovate and, naturally, have some planted at the Silos. The trees, with their gigantic white blossoms, make quite the business signature. If you're driving around Waco, TX, and spot a picture-perfect home with a magnolia tree in the front yard, chances are you're looking at a Chip and Joanna masterpiece.*
I'm going to go shove a quart of coconut oil "up there" to make sure I don't suffer from the dreaded Winter Vagina. Yikes.
I really wish I could change my user name to Winter Vagina, it sounds like a potential Bond girl name.
I think this is great news.
We are getting into Irish Dexters... they are smaller, friendlier, easy on pastures and fences, etc. (I've heard them called the Golden Retrievers of the cow world.) They are great as dairy cows and for meat - the ratio of waste between a butchered Dexter and a huge Angus is amazingly in the Dexter's favor. If you don't want or need a huge cow, I'd encourage you (the home grower) to consider a miniature breed. (If you think you can't live without Angus, look into American Aberdeen.)
I do butcher my own meat birds. I'd like to learn how to butcher my own cattle, too.
I see some pinching going on.
One of my normie/lefty leaning friends is currently stranded somewhere in Mexico because Southwest has cancelled all their flights. He's currently doing some mental gymnastics over why it might be happening to him and his family, and it's kind of glorious to witness.
As mentioned below, if at all possible go for a home birth. If you cannot, do not let that precious baby out of your sight for even a second. Bring in your husband, your mom, a trusted friend, ANYONE to help you stay accountable to your new daughter. Some nurses/doctors will take it onto themselves to inject when the parent expresses forbids it, thinking that they know better. Don't trust them.
I hope you have a beautiful delivery! Best wishes for an easy labor.
Oh shut UP you ignorant wankers. :-/
