Hello,
I’m reaching out to see if anyone might be able to help me out here, because my Google searches are coming up completely empty. Does anyone know of any decent lodging options near a small town in the Midwest besides the Catherine hotel? I’d really rather not drop roughly $333 just for one night, even though the wedding is being held there. I’ve heard rumors that they have various banquet halls on-site that offer rooms for rent, but I can't find a single thing about it online. Every time I check Airbnb or other booking sites, all I get are results for San Francisco or somewhere along the coast. If anyone knows where we could grab a room nearby, please let me know. Thanks so much! 🙂

I honestly don't get it... how can someone just push past a pregnant woman who’s also struggling with a toddler??? What kind of mindset is that???😕 Personally, I haven't had anyone cut in front of me at the grocery store or let me go ahead in line once, but on the bus, people constantly stare right through me like I'm invisible. It's an absolute disaster!!!!
And there have been so many times I wanted to say something but just didn't because, I don't know... I just couldn't bring myself to it...
I completely agree,
Even this morning, for the umpteenth time, I was left standing on both the bus and the subway. It's not that I'm being overly sensitive or acting like I'm incapable just because I'm pregnant—quite the opposite—but lately, I just feel so pathetic in these situations. I'm 36 weeks and 5 days along, with a bump so big people actually ask if I'm having twins, yet I'm standing there in the middle of the rush hour crowd and not a single soul offers me a seat.🤷🤷🤷
And don't even get me started on two months ago when I waited in line for 45 minutes at the local DMV, only for the lady behind the counter to tell me she couldn't finalize my paperwork there and that I had to go to the main regional office instead. I think that was the first time I finally decided to stand up for myself; I refused to leave until she settled the matter right then and there.😁😁😁
Since I'm already venting, I have to mention the time a woman in her 60s practically hoisted me up from a table at the cafe across from Home Depot😢. My family went inside, leaving me in the car because I just couldn't face any more walking, and since it was sweltering out, I decided to head to the cafe to grab a soda while they finished their errands. But the place was packed, so I stood there waiting for a spot to open up. Finally, I spotted an empty seat, sat down, and just as I was about to set my bag on the chair, here comes this lady. She snaps at me, "This seat is taken! Can't you see the papers on the table? I went inside to order and you just sat down!" I was stunned. All I could do was stand up, grab my bag, mutter "sorry," and stand there like a total loser on the sidelines. Then, to top it all off, her husband starts badgering me for daring to sit there! I was in such shock I just stood there in disbelief... obviously, I never even got to drink my soda; my family arrived before a table even became available.🙂
Check out this gorgeous one I stumbled upon online
I’m actually obsessed with this design, though I think I’d personally leave out the fruit 🙂
Our cake is going to look exactly like this
Except we’re adding an extra tier and decorating it with real red roses. I actually picked up a picture of this a few months ago; my husband was absolutely floored by it, so now the design is just sitting at my aunt’s bakery waiting to be brought to life 😁😁,
but honestly...
Now Nathan Cox25 has totally planted a seed of doubt in my head—or rather, thrown a wrench in my plans—because the more I stare at it, the more I realize my husband might actually kill me if I suggest changing the cake design after all this. And oh boy... 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Jason Davis5, have you tried those cream puffs while passing by? They’re actually pretty good. A bit different from what I’m used to, but tasty nonetheless. My only issue is that the menu lists them as a coffee shop rather than a dedicated bakery, so I didn't think to ask if they handle custom cakes or wedding desserts. 😲
"That's exactly why we were planning on heading over to Monica's place to sample her pastries first, just to do a trial run."
I don't have all the specifics, but we actually attended a wedding where they were providing the cake and pastries. I can tell you for certain that the desserts were definitely there. $27It’s all about that texture—you want it thick, creamy, and decadent, especially since we're dealing with a chocolate-based cake. $100It was a smaller wedding, maybe around 50 people...
Recommendation: if you find yourself wandering through the local shops in a town like Naperville, there is this amazing little sweet shop tucked away in the alleyway called
