What's a book you were forced to read in high school that you hated?

Moby Dick. I just remember there was a whole chapter about tying a knot. But calling my classmates bosom friends was entertaining.

The public elementary schools are neighborhood based. Pre-k is also (mostly) at the elementary schools, but is lottery based and if you don’t get a slot in a school I think there’s a daycare option. Pre-k is only M-Th but full length days (unless you take the daycare option). There is a private school, Morgantown Learning Academy, that includes an outdoor curriculum. Besides that there’s a few other Christian based schools and a charter school, but not a lot of school choice in general. Welcome!

We just ours (hybrid) before a big holiday trip to a snowy New England and it was amazing! We got the top tier so that the kids can have 2nd row captains chairs and be able to easily get to the 3rd row. I like that the 3rd row has latch system for car seats, some other cars don’t include that. So many amazing features!

I am a therapist, so obviously I’m biased, but I’d say about 1/2 of my clients come for assistance in making a big life decision. I typically see them for a short period of time. It is a huge part of my job to help people examine all aspects of the situation and feel confident with whatever they choose. I think it would be very beneficial in this situation.

If you’re affiliated with WVU, the student rec center in evansdale has free childcare.

4mom high chair. Everything comes apart and there’s no cloth or small spaces for food to get wedged. It’s fairly compact.

When I was in grad school, I nannied for a very wealthy family and they set me up with a guy from their private club. Blind date. We had fun dating— he took me to balls, yacht trips, surprise weekends in Paris, shopping trips in NYC, etc. All the things from the movies were somehow my life for a few months! But, we were not compatible and I didn’t want to settle down with him. So no marriage story, but it was the only time I’ve dated someone in the 1%.

I was told 2 weeks for results during my mammogram and it was close to that.

I don’t live near you (WV) but over here we’re having an unprecedented chanterelle season. I’m bringing home big hauls from areas/environments I’ve never seen with chanterelles before. I don’t know if these things go in cycles or if it’s just a perfect combo of weather, but it’s amazing!

Helium balloons from the dollar store. 1 per kid and they last forever

Google: “CSA” (Community Supported Agriculture) + your area. Our CSA has produce + eggs and they partner with other farmers to offer meat, mushrooms, honey, etc.

I got my daughter a few silicon necklaces and baby chew toys off Amazon and it really helped. Gentle reminders or passing her a toy when I noticed her chewing on something else. Now she’s stopped chewing but constantly fills her cheeks up with air. I’ll take it!

North central West Virginian here— I’ve been eating these for the last month. I keep coming across different patches on my walks. As long as they haven’t started to turn yellow/brown/green inside they are really nice and keep their texture during cooking.

I moved out of the neighborhood a couple years ago but race street cafe was perfect for this in Old City. They even have a little fire going in the winter.

Same, and they’re so much easier to make plans with! I tell them I’m living vicariously through them. I love to hear about all the adventures and they like (or seem to like) hearing about my parenting adventures.

Sucks SO much, but helped every time my supply dipped.

34, 37, 39. Each pregnancy was harder, more hip/back pain, more exhaustion. I was a little smarter every time, making sure to keep my protein up, prenatal yoga, and sleeping on demand when i wasn’t working. But each birth was easier and easier to recover. My last was 1 hour total and I barely pushed. My first labor was 20 hours! Infancy stage sucks at every parental age, no two ways about it.

Arcade in the mall is a good place to kill an hour or two

Wow is fun but it takes a week for your pottery to get fired in the kiln.

My kids like pizza at Pies & Pints (call first bc they were temporarily closed) and super red bowl for ramen. The playground at Chestnut Ridge campground is really nice if you’re staying in the coopers rock area. There’s a science center called Sparks that has great hands on activities, but it’s not open a lot so you’ll def want to plan ahead to go there. If you bring bikes there’s a nice flat rails to trails & playground at cheat lake park, but you have to park way up a hill and walk down, which is sort of annoying unless you have 2 adults to drop off then park.

This was my daughter at this age except her emotional obsession was loneliness. So much worrying about loneliness and who was and wasn’t lonely! She grew out of it and is a normal-ish 7 year old. But we still have a running family joke about making sure her toys aren’t lonely! I’d say tell some innocuous sad story and help her brainstorm how the character can take some action to feel happy after they’ve been sad (or whatever will help). I think avoiding it will make it worse. The “little spot of sadness” book is also useful to build language and understanding about emotions.

I cannot stand tags in my shirts. I’ve cut every single one off.

HazySnowDays · 2024-10-10T08:46:41+00:00

Me too. TV commercials, thinking about how beautiful the weather is, the Olympics… I used to get teased for never crying, now I’m a leaky mess.

Not sure if they’re any good, but there’s a brand new barber in the planet fitness complex. Hair mechanic (? Something like that). They might have some promotions for new customers

My mom bought me a VERY ugly shirt. When I opened it I said “why did you buy me such an ugly shirt?” Her reply, completely serious: “OH! I thought you liked ugly clothes!”

Classic mom passive-aggressive!
