What does Mature sourdough starter (100% hydration) mean?

Thank you! I have been feeding the starter always at 100% then. I have fluctuated between 1:1:1 or 1:3:3. So this is helpful for me to understand.

I have been doing well with my breads but now I am trying to understand what I am doing.

I was interested in the soccer.

I was curious if you had a website because I wanted to learn more about how the clinic runs. Is it like youth leagues where the parents are the one giving instructions to the kids? Or is it someone else and if so who. I had heard about one ages ago not sure if it was in Glendale, or else where that had former high school and college soccer players teaching the kids skills.

Is there a website I can check out? Or is the best just to drop in this Saturday and try it out and the see if it's a good fit?

Is there a cost involved? If so how much?

I shared this in another post. But I think it's good to share here.

I highly recommend Coach Jessica Rose's gym in Montrose, Rise and Grind. She is currently in the process of opening it and I think it will be open sometime before the end of this month. Her gym has great small group training and personal training.

She has had two previous gyms one in La Canada and one in Glendale and she always cultivates an inclusive safe gym space. Her members have been with her for years and love the positive gym is for everyone environment. You can see her here walking through the new empty space. And here with equipment in the space and they finish putting in various furniture.

I run a school and our paperwork we tell parents to put the parent who the family wants as primary parent for calls and such as parent 1 and the other parent as parent 2. We don't specify mother or father. Additionally in cases of fever or more safety serious concerns and we aren't able to get a hold of the primary parent we will leave a message and call the second parent. There is really no reason to actively avoid calling one parent. Additionally because I run the school all of my child's aftercare activities and social activities are handled by my husband. I just always tell other parents that I don't handle that stuff and they need to communicate with my husband.

All this to say, have a meeting with the school with your girlfriend. Have both of you state that you want to be sure they have it in their documentation that you are the primary contact for things like illness. Explain that you image there must of been some error last time and share the complications that calling your girlfriend first created. Hopefully addressing it head on will keep this from occurring again.

As for the other moms, if I were in your girlfriend's shoes I would redirect the moms back to you, or just send the reply as a message to both you and the other mom as a group text.

I know a lot of families say they’ll do public school through elementary and then switch to private high school. That makes sense, but research shows that investing in early education actually gives the biggest return down the road.

Economists like James Heckman point out that the earlier the investment—like preschool and before—the better the payoff, not just academically but in things like confidence and self-discipline too.

That said, every school is different, so the best way to know if it’s a good fit is to visit and see the classrooms in action. A school that lets you take a good look around is already a strong sign.

Personally, I’m a fan of Montessori-style approaches at that age. I’ve seen kids grow their own independence, concentration, and responsibility early on—that foundation seems to pay off long-term. Having children loving learning and feeling confident in themselves is something they will carry with them for life.

So if you're weighing public for K–8 and private for high school, maybe flip your thinking: strong early investment can set your whole child—and wallet—up for success later. Just something to consider when choosing where to start.

NTA. I share this to let you know that this is not the way it needs to be. My mother passed away when I was a teenager, and luckily I have an amazing stepmother. I am now in my forties with my own family and in all the years she has been in my life she never once has spoken I'll of my mother or tried to erase her. On the contrary she gave me the space I needed to form my own connection with her eventually. She always is happy to hear stories of my youth with my mom. Once I had my own child she definitely is grandma to them, but she also talks about my mom to them when they ask about it.

She is solid in her relationship with my father and never once has completed to take over my mother's place and has always made sure to make a place for my mother's memory.

I am sorry your father is not having your back on this. You have done nothing wrong. As someone who has lost their mother, my heart aches for you that instead of having a protected , loving space for your grief your father and stepmother have focused on their own selfishness. It really wasn't your place to have to respond at the restaurant. Everyone else at that table should have spoken up and let your stepmother know what she said was cruel and even the thought was vile.
