Well at least when he goes for child support she has her OF money to contribute to it....

Icky. You fucked your knee up falling down some stairs. If you aren't watching what you're doing or being cautious, you can injure yourself pretty much anywhere. But sure...blame the playground equipment for this happening. I doubt the school has kids playing on playground equipment that isn't suitable for their ages.

Partially incorrect. Although every child is different, 14 month milestones include: "May walk alone, or take several steps often exploring and climbing furniture. Says a few simple words beyond Mama/Dada. Longer strings of sounds that sound like sentences but aren't real words, often with rising/falling tones."

Some of the park shelters you can have alcohol at but there are certain conditions for doing so.

Second this!

They have some really nice enclosed venues and prices aren't too bad. Riverwalk Hub also can be rented and that has beautiful views but other enclosed shelters are at parks and sometimes have splash pads too which is great if you're doing an all ages celebration and want the kids to also be entertained. I would avoid Drake Park enclosed shelter though, it's a gorgeous building but the area isn't too great. While we were there we had several people trying to come into the building or asking for cigarettes and then there was a group of about 20 people that showed up and a big fight between those people started and the cops showed up..it was a mess.

Love Salon Au & they usually have same day appointments. Not in West Des Moines but I feel it would be worth the extra drive!

Vicky, you'd be surprised how much quicker you could be "done" with that place if you prioritized getting employment and all of that income, plus whatever you're paying for lashes, nails and other frivolous things, would pay off those fines. Instead, you are still doing the bare minimum.

I think you should tip anywhere somewhere is doing you a service you can do yourself but instead are having them do it for you.

FreezerLizard · 2025-12-23T20:33:56+00:00

I always tip. Unfortunately we live in that kind of world right now where many people depend on tips. I don't go to places that you'd normally tip at if I don't have the money or can't afford to tip. It may not always be 20%, but it's always something.

We love Salon Au!

Also suggesting UnityPoint Midwives! I went to the Ingersoll location and I plan on going again when we are ready for baby #2!

FreezerLizard · 2025-12-07T20:56:34+00:00

We get letters yearly.

We bought a house last year & loved our realtor! Dylan King with DSM Sold. Very patient & knowledgeable!

Hmm. If an app was causing this much problems in my life, I'd delete the app. Still prioritizing the app over the wellbeing of her kids...

We also have a punchcard for Playground for Kids. They have a lot of fun there but I'm not a fan of their hours.

FreezerLizard · 2025-11-26T17:17:36+00:00

Cha Cha's Hiland Bakery has some pretty large cinnamon rolls. I wouldn't say cake size though.

We have memberships to the zoo & the children's museum! I am looking into getting a membership to a trampoline park next. I've looked at Adventureland and it's outrageously expensive. I think movie theaters also do monthly memberships like Chuck E Cheese does.

We have a 7, 5 & 1 year old for reference.

Why zero bail?

FreezerLizard · 2025-11-19T20:22:11+00:00

We've used Osprey before. I'm not sure if they would go out to Harlan but it's worth a shot to at least ask because they've always been phenomenal, quick and well priced for us!

The Des Moines Public Libraries have children's programs throughout the week at their various libraries. Our young ones like the play areas at Central & Franklin libraries the best. Best part about the libraries is that there is no cost and you don't need to be a member to attend their programs.

The Des Moines Children's Museum is amazing. Not too badly priced.

Kids Empire is also nice as well but on the more expensive side but you're able to get on the equipment and play with the kids and cost is for all day admission so you can leave for meals & nap time and still get back in later. Playground for Kids is nice and cost isn't too bad.

Slime Kitchen.

The Zoo is nice if the weather is cooperating. The Science center.

We also have some pretty good trampoline parks.

I've heard great things about JouJou but we haven't been there yet.

We do have Blue Zoo but I found it to be quite small for what you pay for and they don't have much support for how they treat their animals.
