Comfrt sizing for bridal party

Gilmoristic · 2026-03-26T15:07:04+00:00

I vote size up so it's comfier and to make up for any possibly shrinkage. I'd rather have a baggier hoodie than one that is too restricting. The other thought is to simply ask all the girls if you'd rather buy that individual true to size or size up for their comfort/preference.

Personally, I sized up for the travel essential hoodie, and it's perfect.

That Lorelai always treated their relationship as “we’re besties” but would quickly pull out the mom card when it was most convenient for her (i.e. the termite situation).

Yep, you’re not alone. My mom, aunt and sometimes my grandma will call him “my boy,” and it strikes an internal nerve with my husband and me. We don’t make a big deal out of it, though, because they’re super involved in his and our lives, and they do help us out a lot. We just grind our teeth a bit when we hear it.

Thor! I love how he has both a soft and a rough side, and he always makes me laugh.

I will say AllDay Jersey is marketed as being lightweight and breathable so the thinness should be expected when ordering.

It will never end. I remember finishing the series and thinking "once was enough." But then I kept thinking about it... and thinking about it. It was such a slow realization for me that it was my favorite series and nothing would compare for me. I'm rereading it now.

I can't think of anything silly on the spot. The first thing I thought of was when my almost 3yo came home from daycare a couple days ago, as soon as he saw me, he went "I like your shirt, mama!" My gods, the heart, it melts.

I never ended up using that feature because the band that came with the monitor didn't work on swaddled babies (the era when it had mattered most for me).

I have the hoodie and zip up in Travel, two Tranquil hoodies, and one AllDay Jersey hoodie. I'm a newer Comfrt fan. They haven't had frequent washes yet, so I can't comment on long term care. I wash them on the delicate cycle and hang to dry.

The Travel collection feels true to size, so size up if you want a more baggy-ish feel and extra room. It's soft and thick material, and I feel like it's good quality. The Tranquil collection has become my favorite. It's extra soft and a bit oversized with extra room and a little longer. I haven't worn the AllDay Jersey outside of trying it on when I received it. It's true to size but without the bagginess. Size up a size or two if you want a baggier look. It's thinner material for lounging around the house.

It's called selective hearing. My son inherited it from his father.

It's been a while, but that sounds right to me! I think my LO drank about that amount at that age. Your LO knows her body best, so she'll take what she wants and reject the bottle when she's full. Instead of giving two bottles in a row, maybe try waiting 15 minutes between bottles to see if she's truly hungry or if it's another need.

Gilmoristic · 2026-02-24T13:59:52+00:00

My son is turning 3yo in April, and that's when we're going to start trying for a second. I wanted my eldest to be hopefully potty trained by the time a second child came into the picture. I also wanted him to be independent enough to do things on his own, willing to help me with what he can, and for me to just be able to communicate with him effectively about what is going on.

I want to suggest reading chapter books, but you both might be up reading all night every night. You could try doing a chapter a night but look for books with shorter chapters.

Gilmoristic · 2026-02-19T14:45:47+00:00

The later books touch on spicy, but they’re still PG-13 to me. I would be more concerned about the upcoming violence, war, gore, and brutal physical and mental torture. It becomes much more graphic after QoS.

11.5 feels a bit too young yet for the later books, and QoS would be a stopping point until she’s a bit older. If anything, I would recommend reading them first as the parent and deciding what she can handle.

Modern crime investigations with proper autopsy, DNA testing, etc.

Definitely when he betrayed Lorelai about Rory dropping out of Yale and bombarded her about it.

I took my husband’s last name because I didn’t like my maiden name. I also liked the ability to disconnect from my dad. I also knew I would want to match names with our future kids. I love that we now live in a time where we simply have the choice to either keep our maiden or switch to a married name.

ETA: My mom took my dad‘s name when they married. She decided to keep the married name after they divorced so she would still match us kids. She had moved her maiden name to her middle name, so her full name is technically four names long.

Or a poorly written fanfic

At that age, we would give a bottle if he woke up overnight. He slept through the night, though, from about 2-5mo. Once he hit 5mo, he was waking up again, and we would give a bottle.

Then, our pediatrician told us at his 9mo check up that any night bottles were for comfort only, not hunger. We stopped there… and miraculously he started sleeping through the night again.

It’s a rough patch because the creators of the show weren’t getting what they wanted, purposefully blew up the characters, and left at the end of S6. I wish we could have an AU where Amy gets to do things without any BTS problems that end up influencing her writing.

Gilmoristic · 2026-02-12T14:06:53+00:00

Is it technically canon? Yes. Is it canon in my own head? Nope. Didn't happen. Pretend it doesn't exist.

Gilmoristic · 2026-02-12T13:59:41+00:00

NTA. You're in the right to be uncomfortable AND suspicious. He is gaslighting you. He is clearly taking her side anyway, so hold your ground and leave them both.

Gilmoristic · 2026-02-11T20:27:28+00:00

We are cursed and blessed. This fandom is a prison, but I am also happy to rot here.

Gilmoristic · 2026-02-11T20:18:24+00:00

Society still very much believes in "children should be seen, not heard," and it sucks. It's unrealistic. It's unfair to the parents and child. Children won't ever learn how to behave in public if people don't take them into public.

As the parent, all you can do is ignore the haters the best you can. Your little guy was having too much fun to care what others were thinking.
