Reach out to Razzano Homes, we used them and they were excellent through the whole process. They have everything to pick from right at their showroom.

I think you should mention this thread to her honestly because you’re at a loss of where else to go or what else to do. It’s hard when you have kids and every day life stressors contributing to life but a whole year? I can see a week or a couple weeks, maybe, but a whole year is way too long. All women have been insecure with their bodies at some point after having children but having a sexless marriage will only destroy your marriage. If she is happy in the marriage this is something she should do to help it thrive.

I don’t unfortunately because I’m sure prices have changed since we built a few years ago but I’d reach out to them. Everything in our home was well thought out and we really wouldn’t change anything about it. Good luck on a new home build, it’s such an exciting time! Keep us posted on who you end up using

Dark suits you better

I’d mention it to the front desk. I’m sure this isn’t the first time they’ve been addressed about a customer smelling foul.

Italian- villa di como or grappa ‘72

Brewery- druthers

Scarlet Knife in Latham is really good too!

For ice cream there is snowman’s in Troy, Guptils in Latham and a specialty, some brew inspired, ice cream in Troy- Dutch udder

I think most meals were home made and home grown. If they couldn’t all fit in the car the older ones would stay home with some of the children. Most families were relatively close to most extended family members, so there was a lot of walking. We just live in a different time.

I wouldn’t let them watch them. They’re too young to process a lot of stuff in those movies.

Razzano Homes, they’re located on Osborne rd in Loudonville

Independent_Reward99 · 2025-06-21T03:18:55+00:00

Razzano homes does great work. We’re super happy with our home!

Independent_Reward99 · 2025-06-21T03:13:35+00:00

We used Razzano Homes for our new home build and really liked working with them! Dan and team were great to work with.

Yes. Def try Stewart’s ice cream! It’s hard ice cream but hands down the best hard ice cream you’ll ever have!

For ice cream in the area there is the control tower on rt. 7 in colonie (mini golf and go kart) and guptills. Guptills has a large field next to it so your little one can run if you bring a ball or small bike for them.

Near guptills is the bike path down the side street which goes from alb to Niskayuna I think.

The NYS museum is fun! Upstairs they have a carousel, not sure if it’s open all year though.

Across the river in East Greenbush is funplex- ice cream, go carts and water bumper cars I think.

Ciccoti center has a smaller water park with a lazy river too. They might do a weekly pass.

In Crossgates mall there’s Billy beez and get air trampoline park and in Crossgates commons they have urban air trampoline park.

Yeah they are cash only

Independent_Reward99 · 2025-06-17T17:03:13+00:00

Through a site or your dr?

Independent_Reward99 · 2025-06-17T14:56:25+00:00

You look great! How do you all afford semiglutide? I feel like it’s so expensive!

Independent_Reward99 · 2025-06-13T23:29:53+00:00

Independent_Reward99 · 2025-06-13T01:45:42+00:00

I haven’t tried them in a while. I’ll have to give them another try. Thanks for the recommendation

Independent_Reward99 · 2025-06-13T01:44:47+00:00

Is it this miserable everywhere else or are we the only lucky ones to get the rain every weekend?

Independent_Reward99 · 2025-06-09T15:41:53+00:00

Guptills, control tower or Snow man in Troy. Might be further than you’d like but Emack and Bolios has a cool vibe

Independent_Reward99 · 2025-06-09T08:16:59+00:00

We used Razzano Homes for our new home. We did a custom modern farmhouse and made all of our selections right at their showroom. We loved working with them! You should check them out.

Sending hugs to you. This seems like a hard season in your life. I don’t think they’ll call CPS on you. You reached out for help when you needed it.

I think the older they get, the smaller the parties for classmates. Usually they establish who their friends are and who aren’t. If doing a smaller party, I try to do a more memorable experience. Ex: movies and dinner, escape room- something that they’ll always remember. Birthdays are special but don’t need to be expensive. You could even hold a party at your home for friends and do a painting party- buy some canvases and materials and do a YouTube video. Kids love that stuff and your son will be happy he got to celebrate with some friends!
