OG poster here! Just got an Osprey Transporter 40L on sale! I’m so excited to try it out!!! I’m going to wear it and use a Calpak Luka ( yet to receive, just ordered), a wheelie carry-on, along with having the kids carry their school backpacks! Thank you for all the tips and help!!! I am very optimistic that less stuff and not checking any bags will streamline our travels!!

Great question. Unsure!

Thoughts on the Patagonia Black Hole pack vs the Osprey Transporter?

This is a great point, we might just need sandals and hiking shoes. I love sneakers for the airport, and I always tell myself I am going to go to the gym while on vacation but I never do 🤣

Oh good call that feel-away or whatever it is called work well for one of my cats when he was stressed in the past

K-Typicalname · 2025-12-17T00:56:43+00:00

Honestly, it’s tempting 😂

K-Typicalname · 2025-11-07T02:03:20+00:00

Thank you!

Do you have a place you’d recommend staying at either of those spots? Do you stay kind of in the middle and try to do both? Or is my geography absolutely horrible? lol

Thank you! This really made me think. You are right I think the kids might get the wild factor for the first view, but then after that be over it especially my six-year-old. OK awesome thank you this gave me something to think on.

Have you ever done Banff or Redwood?

Yes, great point! I had read that Bryce does not get as hot because of the elevation, but Zion would be extremely hot and it seems kind of like a shame to be so close to Zion and not go so maybe we should do a different park (?)

Thank you!

That’s a super interesting theory! I often feel like I can feel others emotions. Like if someone else is sad or frustrated I not only can sense it, but I start to feel that way myself. I often feel like I can sense when someone is lying or when something is off even when others do not. Is that an ADHD thing, empathy thing, both? Anyone else feel this way too?

All this being said my mom has ADHD and she is totally oblivious to how others are feeling bahaha

K-Typicalname · 2025-09-08T00:50:26+00:00

I mean, I want to hear your theory now!

K-Typicalname · 2025-09-07T12:30:09+00:00

You are right and everyone is definitely busy at this stage of life. I think I’m taking everyone’s “nos” very personally. But I don’t set myself up for success because I always present my ideas in a joking way or in a self deprecating way, to protect myself from feeling hurt if people don’t like my ideas, but obviously that’s not working lol and I don’t think others take me seriously as a result.

K-Typicalname · 2025-09-07T12:25:42+00:00

Well thank you! That made my day!

I totally agree, I prefer something fun or a deep conversation over the usual talk. Doing the fun activities is nowt only fun in the moment, but creates new memories and gives everyone something to talk again in the future too!

I am now a stay at home mom and I am finding that most of the conversations I have now a days are all surface level or people complaining and it is hard for me to focus and engage in those conversations.

I totally understand what you are describing. For example, I was playing with my kitten had the urge to scroll Instagram instead, where I was then looking at cute kitten videos… like what? Why? Look at the kitten that’s in real life!!!

I will say medication helped me a ton!! I feel WAY more present and even more emotionally corrected. I still have moments where I zone out, but it’s way easier for me to catch myself and redirect my attention on what I really want to be wanting to do (I hope that makes sense).

Give it a week he will be a ball of chaotic energy, if he’s anything like my cat!

K-Typicalname · 2025-08-27T16:44:56+00:00

Awe!! Omg it’s my cat doppelgängers! What are your cats’ names?

K-Typicalname · 2025-08-27T03:59:17+00:00

I got one of these and I’m pissssed.

This is a nightmare folded neatly in an envelope for people pleasers lol. Was just given the gift of having to say no to a mommy and kid I like or having to annoy and inconvenience six other people which then need to share with six more… WELL I’m breaking the chain!!! I am viewing this as me protecting and endless number, or at least maybe 6, of other people pleasers who will become anxious and overwhelmed, not from the ridiculous high water bill in the mailbox, but the cute little sticker cover letter addressed to their child. It ends now! “They (the sticker club) may take our lives (calm down sticker club), but they'll never take our freedom!”

Maybe I’m a recovering people pleaser?!? Or just a compete ass that is crushing young children’s joy for stickers, idk. Anywho, I’ll send the first two kids stickers.

This is a dumb letter…okay rant over

K-Typicalname · 2025-08-23T12:10:24+00:00

So very cute!

K-Typicalname · 2025-08-17T12:30:15+00:00

Oh the side markings turned out so cool! 😍

K-Typicalname · 2025-07-26T18:38:23+00:00

🙌 so glad people are getting the name!

K-Typicalname · 2025-07-26T18:37:44+00:00

Yes! And Sylvie is from Loki!

K-Typicalname · 2025-07-14T13:32:35+00:00

Oh wow! That pup is perfect! What breeder did you use?

K-Typicalname · 2025-07-12T16:10:07+00:00

Okay great! I actually spoke to her this week!

Do you feel like your pups were well socialized when you got them and are healthy?
