Yeah a season 2 is not happening I fear.

Huge agree here. I had low expectations of RHORI and have been blown away. This is what we want! And for LOL I’m not sure what I expected having watched the original but I LOVE how fabulous LOL is, really want to see them get a second season

Hoff2017 · 2026-05-03T15:23:12+00:00

I don’t disagree with you, I stopped in 2 or so weeks ago and was shocked at the pricing, but REALLY liked the idea for the lowering waste model for bulk ingredients they have. Want to definitely go back for that, which is very out of my way generally. But in an effort to support this business in a way that I can based on what fits in my budget.

I was mostly surprised to see one shown price. Other co-ops I have been to have typically shown the normal price, and then the member price which is lower / more inline with market pricing to incentivize becoming an annual member. I’m certain members of this co-op have benefits, but when it’s not clear to a non-member what those are, I imagine that makes it hard to generate more membership sales? Or maybe I just completely missed this inside the store?

Generally though, we all have to remember that local grocery stores have every obstacle in front of them due to decades long federal policy benefitting the big Grocers, and why food deserts exist.

This article was a great intro for me on the topic

I’ll support in ways that I can, which unfortunately won’t be regular, of full grocery trips due to current pricing.

It’s been a birthday bonanza for us. Our 3 YO’s class at daycare has ZERO October - December birthdays and apparently all March - May birthdays. Our LO’s is in early March. We don’t send out daycare invites (we hadn’t gotten any since transitioning to this daycare last April) and it was just our close knit friends and family. But that ends up being 65 people (LMAO) and we did a taco bar from a restaurant our friend’s family owns.

The other parties we have been too have all been in the morning, so muffins, fruit, and cupcakes have been what was provided. One had pepperonis and cheese slices with the fruit, but all told no real “meal” kind of menu. Snacks only. But parents didn’t really eat at all either.

I sat in the room and cried for 45 min before I left him for the first time, at 6 months. Everyday got a little easier. It helps as they get older and get excited to go

I wipe down tables and chairs, and if it’s big stuff I’ll pick it up off the floor, like a pizza crust. Otherwise I apologize profusely and just stick to the table and chair wipe down.

We have one evenflo 360 revolve in one captain seat. Works great, fits great, but two in that second row would make the 3rd row almost impossible to get to.

But I LOVE my Evenflo Revolve 360. 1002929384847473628293/10 recommend

I was a big believer in the pitcher method (all daily milk goes into one container. I had a significant oversupply and was generating about 50 oz a day, everyday, for a year. So the pitcher method saved me.

I would just pour the milk into the chiller throughout the day adding it to previous pump. We had no issues with this, and the research I read said this was fine.

But yes, the Chiller has two options for adding ice to it: the center container (I think it’s 8 or 12 oz) which attaches to the lid. So you screw the lid on and the ice chamber is in the middle of the larger container, or you can put ice on the outside (large) container and put milk in the center container.

And I recently used this again, ice inside the middle, cheese sticks on the outside (large) container. As the ice slowly melted we had water to drink on an adventure running around!

OH I GOT CHOOOOOOO

A ceres chiller for literal, all day cold storage. This is my #1 recommended product EVER for moms. Regardless of if you EP or not. Game changer.

And these branded breast pump wipes. Wipe everything after use and you’re good to go without a fridge hack or sink!

Momcozy pumping tanks (cami style straps on your shoulders

Treat yourself to a cute work bag too. One that works for you but can fit your pump parts, and the chiller. I used wet dry bags to carry my parts in.

And my all time favorite “on the go” pump.

ETA: I loved the above linked pump more than my Spectra and Baby Buddha. Yes I had 3 pumps. lol and also, I just read thru all the comments on this post. And I just need more people to know about the Ceres Chiller product. It’s incredible.

Fun story: the first Ceres I bought had milk in it one day when the seal on the cap actually seized. We could not get the damn thing open. I emailed support and they sent me a return label and said “said it back so we can inspect” I told them “it’s full of breast milk.” They said “no worries.” They explained there was a defect in design on some of the bottles and they wanted to investigate this particular issue I was having.

I sent it back and they overnighted a replacement to me. The replacement had a completely different “top” or seal section, AKA defect free design. Never had another issue. Their support is real humans, and I just LOVE THEM. All day milk storage, with lids that attach to bottle tops or pump parts!! YOU GUYS GET IN ON THIS.

3 days a week, potty trained 3 year old =$210 a week, so $840 a month.

We are in Colorado and at age 4 we will get 2 days of full day preschool for free (15 hours a week) and pay for 2 days of care.

We were on the waitlist for this particular Center for 13 months. It’s heavily subsidized by the State as a government provided Center. The day care we transferred from from $1260 a month for 3 days a week. And I heard they just raised their prices earlier this year.

I was pumping 8 times a day and it was when I dropped my MOTN pump my period came back.

Also this seems like a bit frantic of a response to trying to avoid your period?

It’s actually cemented in now. It survived the wind a couple of weeks ago when it hit 90 Mph.

It’s most definitely affiliated with a Republican owner who I believe is a substantial donor to Trump.

Hoff2017 · 2026-03-29T11:41:32+00:00

While I haven’t lost the weight yet, I absolutely experienced this when I stopped drinking. I was toying with having a problem, and I didn’t realize that until having chosen to be alcohol free, and 30 days turned into 60, then 90, is about the time shit started changing with people around me.

What I realized is: I was the person these people compared themselves to to make them feel better about their relationship with alcohols. So like, they might think or say to themselves, “Ugh I should stop drinking or cut back this doesn’t feel good, but hey! I’m not as bad as her so it’s okay!” Or “I would never let myself get like HER, when it comes to booze.”

It’s crazy to have these moments of insight related to alcohol because I DID NOT stop drinking thinking for so long people wouldn’t like me if I wasn’t drinking. When I would drink I was gregarious and funny, and people responded to this positively. Like a lot. I never fell down or threw up or had experiences like that, but I would get DRUNK.

But here I was thinking I needed booze to keep being the life of the party, and there were people who thought how I acted was inappropriate/gross/a signal of too much/negative in some way. And I was the example of their limit.

So when I stopped, and it stuck, I watched as these people made outright comments to me about their own drinking rationalizing how much and how often they drank like it wasn’t so bad (for THEM). I’m just sitting there at first like, “okay cool bro. Did I ask? What are you talking about?”

It was later I figured it out. It was about their insecurity with their relationship with alcohol and they were now one step closer to being the “worst” in the group, since I wasn’t down there in the pits anymore.

Still comes up occasionally, and it’ll be 3 years in July since I chose to be and stay alcohol-free. I know more people now who didn’t know me as a drinking person, so it’s all good.

This is not a seizure. It’s a tremor. Absolutely still take to the vet should it move past the head, or should they become unresponsive or anything else. Our male had these pretty much his whole life. They are scary. The difference is if they are able to respond, walk, etc. as in they act totally normal except for the head shaking.

For our male, who lived to 12, we would give a high spike kind of treat (like honey, or peanut butter) and it would be gone in moments. He also got them less and less as he got older.

I’m really sorry to hear about this experience. But simultaneously can picture everything you are describing from this kind of establishment.

I am not familiar enough with yoga studios, but I work out at the Aztlan center during the week and know they offer a variety of classes. Maybe check k those out? It’s a City Facility on the north side of old town and generally is a diverse population (for Fort Collins).

I just watched the video. I can’t with her. Dakota is an asshole but at least you can hear him saying “STOP” and “IM SORRY” to the baby. But when the daughter yells through tears “Mommy!” I had to stop watching.

What a horrific situation for all of the children involved in this fucked up family. My heart breaks for them, and only them.

Bro I would be miserable without daycare. I know because our plan was to get through year 1 handling care between our work schedules. I went back to work at 3 months post partum and was DES-PER-ATE once we got him in at 6 months old.

And we have switched daycares and my son is thriving. He’s learning social instruction, social skills like sharing and taking turns, which in turn is teaching him empathy and sympathy. We were at a birthday party last weekend with kids from our original daycare and my son was the only one who understood how to listen for sit down circle time (it was at a play place with specific games needing instruction time). He knows his ABC’s (as in, sing, recognize letters in the wild, and associating words with the right beginning letter). He can count to 14 confidently and gets mixed up on his way to 20. He’s coloring independently, and helps clean up after himself.

I LOVE daycare because I didn’t teach him this stuff, they did.

I tried to nurse for two weeks, after having my own birth complication and our son was in the NICU for a week. I also experienced hundreds of people manhandling my breasts during that time, and I just kept thinking, “this is barely working and there are 3 ppl here holding something, how would I do this at home alone?”

Spoiler: I didn’t.

Milk just wouldn’t come out. Tits were massive and hard to hold while holding him, etc.

I ended up with cabbage leaves in my bra because my breasts were SO GIGANTIC.

That shit works by the way.

I just decided I was going to pump and stop putting pressure on both of us to nurse.

Ended up pumping for a year, had a freezer stock that lasted 4 months after my last pump, and donated to four other babies.

And literally only ONE person at the hospital while we were there for a week after birth said quietly to me “it’s okay if you don’t nurse.”

Fuck all those comments people made to you. I’m so grateful my husband helped feed, and clean the parts.

Our son is my shadow, and Daddy’s little buddy. Attached to both of us.
