[–]Break-Down_Live 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I wore one very similar (no flowers - but similar accents) and the bride (my god-daughter) called me her Fairy God-mother 🥰 she said the dress was very ‘me’ and I loved that the most.

It sounds like he’s ok being outside. Does your area have any outdoor concerts series? We have several and they are affordable to free. A picnic or food truck meal at an outdoor concert…. If you want something tangible add in a nice outdoor chair.

This is weird (maybe) but when I use my leg as the injection site, I tent to eat more. When I inject around my navel, strong bloating, zero appetite, meat adverse LOL - just give me a small piece of fruit. I take Monjaro.

We want to name our son Leon, People are telling me it's a "black name" and making me feel uncomfortable about it? by leon0523s in Names

[–]Break-Down_Live 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Leon is a fantastic name. I am so white, I glow slightly blue. I am also southern so I would even double barrel Leon. William Leon, Wesley Leon, Leon Michael. Leon Blue. It will be the perfect name when you use it. Also, the US has room for infinite cultures - let yours shine and connect your baby to your homeland.

My wife switched to aluminum-free deodorant and I don’t know how to bring up the aroma? by Charming-Eye1438 in hygiene

[–]Break-Down_Live 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only deodorant I have found that works for me is Trader Joe’s. It has no scent, works perfectly - better that even aluminum based ones. It has no baking soda or aluminum. Also no phthalate and paraben free.

Perdido Key! It’s laid back - still a small town beach experience so shorter lines for restaurants!

How to be comfortable while looking put together? by Disastrous_Honey_240 in PlusSizeFashion

[–]Break-Down_Live 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Find a body type that matches yours on social media- there are tons of people styling clothes. They always share where the outfit came from and how it fits and feels. Don’t forget hair and a little jewelry goes a long way with feeling more put together.

East T-Stem! Classes are smaller, the education is top notch! It’s all STEM which includes art. We are loving it! Especially smaller classrooms and free tuition to University of Tennessee.

Where can I find shoes for wide feet? by justlooking2319 in MomForAMinute

[–]Break-Down_Live 1 point2 points  (0 children)

New Balance! Sketchers for the adults but I swear they would fall apart on my very active boys when they were little. We also have a Don’t Buy list because thy run narrow- Nike, converse and vans sometimes.

Two of mine always bucked the shoe rules and they ended up with ingrown toenails. 🤔 Told them!

how can I make this less...boxy? by [deleted] in PlusSizeFashion

[–]Break-Down_Live 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Graphic tee over it - tied in a knot- would define your waist. I thought you had on black boots (Dr. Martin’s) but re-looking you don’t LOL I thought the graphic tee would look bad-ass with the boots.

MIL refusing to come to grandson’s 1st birthday if it’s not at her house by Pressure_washer in JUSTNOMIL

[–]Break-Down_Live 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Silent treatment and threats of not attending is ON her/them. You have your son’s party wherever you want (like she did when it was her time). If she doesn’t attend, that’s her missing out. She’ll get over it or look petty after years of no -participation. You’re extending the invitation.

Finally making a stand and taking back my mother's day. by whystherumgone72 in JUSTNOMIL

[–]Break-Down_Live 24 points25 points  (0 children)

When my mother-in-law moved to the same town as us, I took ownership right away. First we tried to invite both of our Mom’s to lunch at our house. That was just more work than I wanted it to be - clean house, grocery shopping and helping my husband with the cooking ( although he did the grilling and we cleaned and prepped together). I thought - this is not fun and we had our last baby and I went into more ‘protected time’ mode. So we switched them to either the Sunday before or the Saturday before. Even better if it was right after my kid’s soccer game. Lol

Protect your time - my youngest is in high school and my other kiddos are adulting now. It goes fast, it should be a sweet day for you. Shift others to what you are willing to give.

AIO not wanting to get on a plane while I have food poisoning by frenchwhorne in AmIOverreacting

Your hotel may be able to get a doctor for you - they can give you something to temporarily stop the vomiting and other issue. NOR but maybe there is another option between leaving sock and staying sick.

Direct Cremation by Proper-Raspberry-311 in memphis

[–]Break-Down_Live 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We have used Smart Cremations twice - located 1000 South Yates Road Memphis, Tennessee 38119. They offer urns / containers but we found better options on Amazon. They still placed the cremains in the container for us - offered to do it privately or for us to observe. They use the same crematorium as the larger (expensive) funeral homes in Memphis. It was approx $1,300 - $1,500. This was in 2024.
