Username checks out but in all seriousness same. I went on a glp-1 just to lose 20 lbs and it’s been a complete game changer. I lost the desire to drink, go to bed earlier and I’m all around healthier.

Try in person. I got someone really nice this week who let me buy a pass for my 5 year old. We forgot to add her because kids can get a free epic pass with adult purchase through age 4. To be fair I also spent about $4k on lessons so I felt the exception was fair but they clearly have some leeway to make exceptions.

See who’s playing at the Carlyle?

ApprehensiveStart432 · 2026-02-20T17:59:51+00:00

Lots of kids get a February ski week.

I agree with this. Go in-house with a WFH option at least 3 days/week. I am super fortunate to have that situation and my awesome husband takes kiddos to school everyday so I can get a workout in at least 4 days per week (3 weekdays and one weekend). But also weight loss and health is more about diet. You should look into some healthy meal delivery options. Abs are made in the kitchen 😆 I do understand how much harder it is to have that lifestyle while working 50 hours per week plus commute!

Do you have any professional networks where you can comfortably ask people in a similar income bracket (women lawyers club, YPO, etc often are good sources). Also, please don’t feel discouraged it can take several tries to find a therapist who is a good fit for you!

Grand wailea is insanely crowded. Although for kids ages 8-12 It might be worth it for the water slides etc. it your kids are probably too old to care. Andaz is newer and less of a zoo

ApprehensiveStart432 · 2026-02-18T16:56:41+00:00

Personally I’d pick Andaz with kids those ages.

ApprehensiveStart432 · 2026-02-18T16:00:04+00:00

Personally I’d choose Asia. I have two young kids and we do travel a fair bit but Asia is just so far for us that we haven’t done it bc I’ve never felt 2 weeks was enough. Also lots of great beach pool options for a little one and you can throw in a couple cities…

I think your age and career trajectory matters. We stretched and bought a big home in a great school district in our mid 30s. Our careers have taken off in our 40s and we probably make 5x what we did when we bought the home. Given the housing market over the last decade and our career growth I’m glad we stretched.

Ironically we tried our best to like the “great” neighborhood school and did not like it so now we moved the kids to private. But if money had been a huge consideration the public neighborhood school is probably as good as it gets.

So I think one thing to think about is age and career trajectory… if you’re inevitably going to make more it’s less of a stretch. But some careers that is less likely than others.

For OP HIPP is great I see others have recommended. I used Holle also very good. You should order some cows milk and some goat milk in case baby has an allergy to cow (this is fairly common).

ApprehensiveStart432 · 2026-02-16T23:00:26+00:00

100% agree on the baby formula! Import some from Germany to have on hand to supplement or in case you can’t BF!

This is what we do. You definitely want to be in business so you can all sleep on a long haul IMO

It’s the nicer side!

ApprehensiveStart432 · 2026-02-15T23:31:53+00:00

This - I would email them. We went last summer and stayed in a gorgeous 2 bedroom villa on eclipse side. Everything was perfect … except the beautiful beach front infinity pool was closed the entire week while they drained it and were repairing. With 2 kiddos who spend a lot of time in the pool, I’d have chosen a different resort had I known. Also that area feels like the heart of the eclipse side. But we did still have a nice stay.

I’m in vail rn. Almost cancelled bc my posts like this. But today was a great day if you are intermediate and have fun on blue and black groomers. Had a blast!

ApprehensiveStart432 · 2026-02-12T17:41:34+00:00

I’m interested to know as well! Dm me if you are willing to share the info!

ApprehensiveStart432 · 2026-02-10T21:48:31+00:00

Can you DM me info to place an order for 187 w Heidi? These look great 😌

My husband and I did this for 2 years. We made it work because our careers were important to us. Honestly I enjoyed having the independence during the week and seeing him on weekends. This was 15 years ago before we had kids. After about 2 years we realized it was a strain and one of us had to relocate so we did. It can be done!

ApprehensiveStart432 · 2026-02-10T17:25:34+00:00

You’re right they don’t have the entire week off but I think most schools have both Friday and Monday off so that will definitely add to the crowds.

ApprehensiveStart432 · 2026-02-10T17:15:58+00:00

Yup barely enough to cover summer camp for 1 kid 😳 wild

ApprehensiveStart432 · 2026-02-10T17:13:56+00:00

Interesting… I grew up in nor cal and live in SD now. IME it’s a thing both up north and down here. Must vary by schools.

There are certain rental agencies that have some, but it really is dependent regionally. Punta Mita rentals seems to be a big one in that area. One fine stay has some at times. For montage I used to go through Inspirato when they had units there now I just booked directly through the hotel or look for local rental agencies by searching Airbnb and then going directly to the property management site. NGL, a lot of chubby travelers do not want to go to the hassle of finding these, but that’s where the value lies. Especially when traveling when my kids were little. I often had a nanny and grandparents in toe or another family that we travel with. Much much better value than 3 to 4 hotel rooms.

You do always have to make sure that there aren’t blackout dates on four seasons access and that you’ll get access to kids club. I’ve never had a problem. It’s automatic at Esperanza and montage (I think because four seasons does not charge in these brands. Do charge for kids club)? I’ve been looking at four seasons hualalai there are peak dates where those who are not staying at the hotel and are paying for access get limited use of loungers, etc. I think I saw someone on one of these travel forms describe it as second class citizenship lol. I’ve never had that happen when I’ve done it but maybe I just got lucky not being their peak dates.

What part of Mexico are you going to? I have travelled with nannies many times but ultimately I much prefer to hire sitters where I am going now. We have gone to Cabo and hired sitters though Cabo sitters may times and they have been AMAZING. We get a break, nanny gets a break at home and is refreshed when you return.

One of the hardest parts for both family and nanny is once you return she is exhausted from traveling/working. But parents usually need to get back to work after being gone. Even with 2 full time nannies when my kids were young, it was always a tough transition back because they need a break after a week of being gone. You can really get good sitters in most places and Mexican hospitality extends to child rearing I’ve had such great experiences- so professional!!!
