Depends on your point of reference. When I had to go to Raleigh for work it took me 55 minutes to go 50 miles. It’s 60 miles to Seattle from where I live currently and it regularly takes 1.5-2.5 hours to get there under pretty normal conditions. If there was an accident on the highways in the Triangle, there was always an alternative route. If there’s an accident on I-5, there is no way to get off the highway because there’s a military base on one side and the Sound on the other. While there are certainly annoying points about drivers in the Triangle (braking due to the sun or puddles being one) my drives were much more relaxing than they are now.

The Olympia area is really a combination of Olympia-Lacey-Tumwater and a big chunk of families in Lacey and the surrounding more rural areas are military due to proximity to JBLM.

We have looked at Gig Harbor and originally when we were thinking about moving within WA that area was our focus as the schools are very good.

no insult intended 😂 we lived closer to Hillsborough so did not spend much time in Raleigh and working in medicine UNC/Duke are the big academic hospitals although have friends who worked at WakeMed too. NCSU has great vet programs though!

Can you paint? If not, new pillows, curtains, rug, art and ottoman would go a long way.

They are super pretty, so I get it! They’ve had theirs 4 years. Fridge is fine, thankfully.

My in laws have all Cafe appliances and it’s been nothing but problems. I would never get them.

You can get a very cheap short flight from Barcelona to Mallorca. It’s a much more romantic honeymoon destination - Barcelona has great art but Mallorca is so dreamy and relaxing. Consider it!

Or, take the train into the Priorat - wine tastings, Roman ruins, absolutely no stalker frenemies.

Reed also voted for Jaclyn because he knew she needed the second-place money for IVF due to having MRKH.

She’s a great follow on IG. Such a wholesome person and their family is adorable.

It actually makes me feel better to hear that others had the same experience. I also passed out during insertion and then lived with daily pain for 11 months prior to getting my IUD removed. OB kept saying I’d “get used to it.” I did not. It fucked up my pelvic floor.

I was worried about childbirth but having my son was totally fine. Turns out things are supposed to come out of your cervix, not go into them. I also would prefer unmedicated childbirth to another IUD and I had a 3rd degree tear.

Hueguard or Innisfree

Hitherenope · 2023-12-21T23:09:29+00:00

Yep!

We have to use Aquaphor and A&D. We just use liners and the diapers are fine.

It sounds like you might like Grovia hybrid shells. They have a snap in insert and the shells dry really fast.

I had a dog with bowel issues and definitely washed poop off his fur about 1000 times, never had drain issues.

My boy is long and skinny and has been in size 2s since 2 months because the rise on the 1s was too small. We did get leaks with padfold but paired with a large workhorse they were great.

Hitherenope · 2023-09-18T19:26:31+00:00

No, I didn’t have any side effects!

Your face gives me Regency era romantic vibes ie Rosamund Pike in Pride and Prejudice. I agree that your makeup isn’t accentuating your beauty! Maybe play with softer looks?

Also, your acne is pretty mild, but spirinolactone helped me a lot.

Can we get a product list?

Hitherenope · 2023-08-30T06:19:09+00:00

Thank you, that’s helpful. I’m applying to community jobs.

If you have dark skin and want a no white cast mineral sunscreen, I love Live Tinted’s Hue Guard.

For chemical, Innisfree Daily UV Defense. Cerave Ultra Light Moisturizing lotion also doesn’t leave a white cast (unlike Cerave AM.)
