I personally would not have a kid with a friend, but I can see the appeal in raising a child communally.  I was raised by two parents (who are still together), but I was also raised by my extended family. It's a cultural thing, Nigerian families seem to have no boundaries and really subscribe to the whole 'it takes a village to rear a child' ideology and so my brothers and I grew up knowing we had - and still have - an excellent support network (outside our parents) around us.  I think this is the advantage of raising a child communally, especially if it's done right.

I saw it today and really enjoyed it, although I had actively tried to avoid watching trailers and reading about it so I had no expectations going in. I also feel the story did not need telling but Disney's gotta milk that Star Wars cow somehow before it runs dry.
 

Awww she's adorable! Congrats!

Congrats @Bones!

Have you been to Japan previously? Which parts??

Haha no, I wish. That's why I'm open to going at any time, it just looks amazing.

1. How does Spring rank amongst the seasons for you?

Third. I love winter and autumn more.

2. What sounds remind you most of Spring?

The sound of birds chirping at 5 in the morning, and rain. Lots and lots of rain.

3. What is Spring like where you live? Is it hot, cold, wet, dry?

Usually wet, but we've had a mini heatwave the last few days and it's been super sunny and blue skies. It's forecast to rain tonight and over the next week though, so back to normal.

4. Any fun plans over the next couple of months before Summer?

Just exams D: I may potentially be visiting Seattle, but if that doesn't happen then I'll likely go to Amsterdam or Greece for a short holiday.

5. Will you be planting a garden? Any favourite crops? Anything you've wanted to garden but haven't?

My current house does not have a garden, but if I could I'd try to grow blackcurrants and strawberries. I'm super into them at the moment.

6. What is a trip you would love to take in the Spring?

Japan. But then I'd go to Japan any time of the year, I'm not choosy!

Damn, I was four out. Congrats, guys!

Dappervollk is now Sharkvolk!

But seriously though, I love that they did this!

Congrats Kate!

Conngratulations!

Congratulations, you deserve it!

I could kick myself for not investing in the Kickstarter. I was thinking that I would not be so into it, but I love it so much I regret that decision.

Congrats, @Swar!
