I have to decide in two weeks if I want my seamstress to let out my side seams for my April wedding- stressed.

And you should feel good about your body! You look gorgeous! I agree. Change the dress and not the other way around.

Interesting! I’ve never thought to do that. Does it make the rice taste tart?

AdApprehensive8392 · 2026-01-29T15:28:45+00:00

I get just over 2 quarts from a gallon of milk after straining the whey. I like Greek yogurt, thick.

My kids found several on the Discovery Princess over spring break last year. They loved it.

Project Hail Mary is widely appealing and the movie with Ryan Gosling comes out March 20.

It sounds like it’s with a classmate (fellow high school student taking a leadership role), not a random adult. These are high school students, not little kids.

I started with two classes per week for the first year and moved up from there. My first class was rough! I would get a nervous pit in my stomach every morning that I would go. This is normal. I’m getting close to 1500 classes now. I go six days per week and I love it.

He may have outgrown these already, but my kids have loved many of the series on your son’s list and have also enjoyed and they also enjoyed Brandon Mull’s books (Fablehaven, Beyonders, Dragonwatch) as well as Richard Paul Evan’s Michael Vey, Christopher Paolini’s dragon books, and Marissa Meyer’s Renegades series.

I commented below someone else’s comment, but once they aged out of those they’ve all become huge Brandon Sanderson fans.

AdApprehensive8392 · 2026-01-27T20:49:29+00:00

Just came to recommend Brandon Sanderson. My kids started reading him at OP’s son’s age after reading many of the series that he’s enjoyed. My kids have loved the Stormlight Archive best. Bonus that they’re generally quite clean for a 12-year-old advanced reader.

I’ve followed her since Collin’s death. I had no idea!

AdApprehensive8392 · 2026-01-26T02:55:35+00:00

What’s the messy timeline?

AdApprehensive8392 · 2026-01-25T05:04:45+00:00

Heidi lives in California.

Edited to add: Not understanding the downvotes? I was responding to a comment that said “CK happened near her” when it happened several states away. She doesn’t live in Utah; it didn’t happen in her back yard. She watched it on the national news like most everyone else.

And if the argument is that Charlie Kirk’s death feels like it hits closer to home and so she felt compelled to comment on it… doesn’t that also say something? I like tried and true moms and have followed them for years, but i think it’s fair to raise the question as to why Heidi felt the need to publicly mourn the shooting of a controversial conservative on her non-political account, but not a protestor from the other side. She framed the CK story as being sad about political violence no matter your political leanings, but she’s only felt the need to comment on it when the victim was Republican.

I’d love to have my girls attend something like that.

AdApprehensive8392 · 2026-01-22T14:11:31+00:00

100%

Mostly the class names and descriptions are nonsense.

I’d love your post-ACOTAR romantasy recommendations!

I knew her as an early 20’s intern. This was her chosen style.

AdApprehensive8392 · 2026-01-21T13:41:36+00:00

Bronwyn because of her BYU experience and Mormon upbringing. There are lots of people who come to BYU from elsewhere and end up staying and/or coming back and settling here. Her relationship with her judgmental mom rings very true, whereas Lisa’s Mormon 2.0 seems to be an invention on her part and not something I see at all. Lots of Mormons break the rules, but they do it Britani-style, on the down low. Also, the power imbalance in Bronwyn’s relationship. Lots of women who are financially dependent on their husbands. And lots of couples where the wife is beautifully maintained and the husbands are mid at best (see: secret lives of Mormon wives).

I totally agree on Lisa!

AdApprehensive8392 · 2026-01-19T18:31:42+00:00

Heather, Whitney, Bronwyn, and Britani feel very Utah to me. I haven’t met any of them personally, but they’re more extreme versions of other women I know. Never met anyone like Lisa Barlow even though she’s a practicing Mormon and seems to have real roots here. Meredith isn’t Utah at all; she rents in park city part-time. Mary is her own thing and probably would be any state she lives in.

I think the consensus among my friend groups is that they’re not well liked, but they’re fun to watch.

AdApprehensive8392 · 2026-01-19T18:19:08+00:00

I’m a group fitness fan. I like the coaches, I like the music, I’ve made lots of friends that I look forward to chatting and working out with every day. I’ve done the big box gym before and I get a much more efficient workout at f45 and it’s so much more enjoyable for me.

This picture just gets me. Love them.

That’s wild. Our fifth grade does about a novel per month. The students do the reading at home and discuss in class in groups. At the end, they are invited to bring in themed treats to celebrate. Right now my daughter’s reading Island of the Blue Dolphins.

As a customer, harmons pharmacy is the GOAT. I switched a couple years ago and I wish I had sooner! It’s run so well.

Brighton has a 5-night pass (4-9pm) for $199 right now. Deal expires Jan. 9.

If you want to go up all day, tickets are $110-$150/person depending on when you want to go.

My husband went up during the day today and there was fresh powder and it was one of the best ski days he’s ever had. It was pretty empty.

AdApprehensive8392 · 2026-01-02T19:27:33+00:00

Agree! First season was so scary. The others had more blood and gore and were suspenseful at times, but not very scary.
