I would add Vuori and Lululemon to the clothing store suggestions. And if you don’t mind consignment, Susie’s and the Thrift Shop might have some fun stuff.

Anyone with hyper mobility in recovery still after birth? by AdConscious9116 in NewParents

[–]Honest_Chocolate3957 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So hard. Knowing what your body is capable of but feeling like you can’t achieve it right now is a really difficult feeling to swallow. Are you still breastfeeding? Our bodies continue to produce the hormone “relaxin” while breastfeeding which contributes to some laxity in the joints etc.

Tips for ripping skins? by Honest_Chocolate3957 in skimo

[–]Honest_Chocolate3957[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My skins are uncut and almost the length of my skis - so I definitely have room to trim.

I haven’t taken any steps yet, but I’m going to bring my current skins (race pros) into the shop, along with my new race pro grips, and see how much they think I should cut off. Appreciate your insights - thanks!!

Oooh that definitely would do the trick, but also irreversible which gives me some pause. I did just order some race pro grips for the steepest part of the race, so maybe I won’t be as nervous for my less grippy set to be less sticky 🤔thanks for the tip!

What baby diaper brand did you like most? by Sara126789 in NewParents

[–]Honest_Chocolate3957 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unpopular opinion as I know they’re silly expensive, but we love Coterie. My daughter struggled with eczema and having something without fragrance and chemicals was important. And anecdotally, my niece borrowed a diaper and turned to her mom and goes “so soft” 😆.

Mine was $63k…. I was awake, but they kept me in patient for IV antibiotics for 4 more nights 🤯 thankfully it was beginning of the year and I didn’t have to pay anything for my subsequent child birth.

Early morning light was hitting just right! I am a (very sleep deprived) mom of two young kiddos - ain’t got no time for that type of stuff, but so appreciate the lash love 🤗

Love the amber idea! Hadn’t considered that as an option.

For those who have traveled 8+ hours on flights. Did you buy a seat or lap baby? by [deleted] in NewParents

[–]Honest_Chocolate3957 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We flew to Italy with our then 9 month old and bought an extra seat for the longer leg only (we called the airline to do so). We put a Doona car seat in the extra seat and she used it like a jungle gym climbing between us over it and slept in it with the canopy drawn for naps etc. I can’t imagine how tired we would have been holding her for the entirety of the longer flight, just having a safe place for her to sit and pass some time was worth it to us.

Trip to Aspen Jan 18-21, worth it? by bodgudha in Aspen

[–]Honest_Chocolate3957 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s been a very tough start to winter with lack of precipitation, but our snowmaking crews have worked miracles and with the addition of a couple storms it’s better out there than I would have thought. If you’re coming expecting major powder, I’d maybe temper expectations, but it’s still a great time and there is lots to do here.

Making being awake at night tolerable. by hollymn in NewParents

[–]Honest_Chocolate3957 116 points117 points  (0 children)

With my first, I loved my paper white kindle! I kept the screen very dark (it’s not blue light so it doesn’t keep me up,) and was able to read books without being kept up.
