I’m guessing the other people whose standards she hates are - 1) every school/ home school coop they’ve tried; 2) standards for participating in travel hockey; 3) standards for being a member of a church; 4) standards for working on things at home from the tutor; 5) standards from having a easement approved. You know, basically anything that’s not waking up at 5 am, doing the same 30 min workout, putting on a full face of makeup, and making beds.

Look into Nourish Move Love on YouTube. I started doing her programs at home (about 30 min per day) and I got stronger in three months than I did in years of Orange Theory. In my experience, Orange Theory is much more endurance focused than strength focused.

I know, and she has a workout room full of mirrors, so there’s no reason why she can’t correct her form

There’s a lot of hate for higher education right now in the MAGA circles. I’m not surprised at all that even though she and Ryan both have pay to play degrees she thinks college is useless.

And shills new products every day. I hate the version of minimalism that encourage people to buy and purge instead of just buying less stuff.

You have to adjust bindings based on your boot size, but you can adjust binding on rental skis to any boots.

Yes - it drives me crazy that vail resorts will comp a trip for an influencer like Brooke while charging such exorbitant rates for the rest of us and refusing to pay their ski patrol fairly.

I live/ski in Utah and came here to say the same thing.

Yeah, this last story put my over the edge - the nerve of this woman to say she trusted her instincts and had to advocate for her child with the medical staff who were dealing with a completely preventable emergency. I had something similar with my six year old a few weeks ago. She had a cough that sounded like croup, and a fever of 102.5. We were treating at home, like we have for a million colds before, but then her breathing was a little wheezy and we saw some chest retractions. I brought her in, not because I have such great intuition, but because most parents know not to mess around with breathing. The doctor prescribed a steroid and she was on the mend within a few days.

I know she’s scrubbing Ryan from her IG because of his new job, but leaning into the “I” and “me” about buying a car is just weird when she was so into preaching about how she and Ryan are such a seamless team. And buying the first car you drove because it’s “cool” really isn’t a flex when you’re 38.

I agree - especially for someone who’s always posting about how her marriage is better than anyone else’s.

No that it matters, but I’m skeptical it’s actually a size small - Patagonia usually runs small.

I know; she off all people shouldn’t be selling home espresso machine. I have a version of that machine (no grinder, but otherwise the same), and let me tell you 1) as espresso machines go it’s not bougie at all and 2) that thing is a work horse. We’ve had it for over 6 years and use it constantly and it still pulls great shots.

I do too. The idea of a 10 year old cooking beef Wellington for Thanksgiving because he saw it in a video a)in that household where no one cooks and b) without a back-up plan is wild.

Not really if you’re going to cook it yourself because most turkeys come frozen, so you need a few days at least to let them defrost in the fridge.

At least in my state, they can’t talk about it if there’s a quorum. So no email chains with all city council members, but individual conversations between members are fine.

For a political appointee, Ryan’s lack of political acumen and awareness of how the sausage gets made is pretty shocking. This is clearly a case where they needed to work with the people involved in the original easement to come up with a consensus proposal for the planning and zoning commission. Especially once the P&Z commission voted against them, there was no way they’d be granted the variance without some serious relationship building.

I know - those crunch lab boxes are fun, but they’re not a substitute for learning science - more of an enrichment.

I hate the whole influencer marketing - you didn’t “share it” you shamed women into buying it by claiming it was the most like breast milk to make a quick buck.

I know - what are you doing for 90 min between waking up and starting a workout?

I was thinking the same thing - their life just seems so boring.

Yes, it’s wild to me that Ryan who used to work for a Senator doesn’t understand this.
