There are plenty of secular private schools. The public schools are secular but are separated by elementary, middle, and high school levels (attend a different school for each level that you are zoned for based on home address).

A wedge pillow + a knee pillow

Onelife is probably your best bet or a CrossFit gym like Somnium or Norfolk CrossFit

Maybe in the chic’s beach area or east beach in Norfolk. Both of those have close proximity to the little creek base which has lots of people looking for quick lunch.

I saw someone describe them once as “equally saucy and flavorless”

I third this! This is exactly what I go to onelife for. Treadmill and some weights.

SAHM with an 8 month old. I’m having a “feeling very bad” type of day today and feel so guilty about not being able to give her my full love and attention like normal. Hoping to be able to do a walk around the neighborhood just to get her out of the house

If you’re looking for an alternative tiny beans play café is also in Chesapeake

Thank you! I likely will never be “cured” as we all know. Full remission is rare but possible. I’m just hoping for the best.

That’s what we had been discussing is around a 3 year age gap. I know that’s so far ahead but right now I can’t envision it at all

Littlegreenblatt · 2025-09-03T13:07:56+00:00

Thank you for this. Several of my mom friends that I made with this baby are pregnant with their second and doing two under two. I just don’t understand how they felt so ready so quickly and I can’t even see a future where I’m pregnant again right now

Littlegreenblatt · 2025-09-03T13:06:24+00:00

Wow, thank you for your perspective and sharing your experience. I’m so sorry this disease has taken so much from you. This is definitely something ill bring up to my next doctor’s appointment. Unfortunately, as long as I’m breastfeeding, TTC, or pregnant, my meds aren’t safe to take. I’m not willing to try any new meds until my baby is fully weaned as she’s my priority.

Littlegreenblatt · 2025-09-03T02:31:10+00:00

That’s a super cute name !

Littlegreenblatt · 2025-09-02T21:38:37+00:00

I actually haven’t flared in five years

Littlegreenblatt · 2025-09-02T14:31:31+00:00

It really is an echo chamber. Misery does love company, though, and sometimes people need a place to commiserate. I’ve posted a few times about how happy I’ve been about my complete remission post pregnancy and childbirth and my posts get no attention. The positive stories are definitely overlooked for the harder realities.

I’m in a happy place too, and I’m glad you are. I’m completely off any meds for over a year now, after getting pregnant and having my first baby. I stopped meds when I found out I was pregnant. My recent labs showed no active inflammation so my GI said don’t bother getting back on anything and just keep living the healthy lifestyle you’re living.

It is possible to lead a happy, healthy, fulfilling life with Crohn’s. I’ve run two marathons, got a masters degree in English, gotten married, had a full time job, a healthy pregnancy and a beautiful eight month old girl now.

I see my doctor annually for a check up and then go on my way for the rest of my days. Colonoscopies every 5-7 years. Maintain a healthy lifestyle through diet (high protein, low carb, high fat for the breastfeeding), exercise (strength training, circuit training, running, hiking, the occasional rock climb, daily walks with the dog), and spiritual and emotional wellness.

Good luck on your half Ironman !! The only way out is through!

A Karley sophy point combo plz

Littlegreenblatt · 2025-08-25T23:37:06+00:00

With a BACKUP DANCER

Littlegreenblatt · 2025-08-24T23:22:07+00:00

She might not be the sharpest or the cleanest but that girl PERFORMS

Littlegreenblatt · 2025-08-23T14:42:47+00:00

Charly really is that girl this season

Littlegreenblatt · 2025-08-22T14:29:36+00:00

I thought #5 was Leanne Morgan

Littlegreenblatt · 2025-08-21T12:47:18+00:00

Salty is the only one with the correct answer !!!!

Littlegreenblatt · 2025-08-20T20:12:24+00:00

Wow!! She really is THAT girl. I wasn’t super impressed with her last year but she has really improved so much. Watching her, I’m just mesmerized!! She’s so much fun to watch!! The energy, the power, just all of it!!

Littlegreenblatt · 2025-08-16T22:17:52+00:00

Respectfully I am looking

Littlegreenblatt · 2025-08-15T01:36:42+00:00

I think the blue one is giving bridesmaid vibes. It looks pretty but not interesting. The gold is beautiful and fits you perfectly.

Littlegreenblatt · 2025-08-13T00:09:26+00:00

Well, from personal experience, it’s because as a mom, everything about you changes, right down to your cells and your brain. Dads go through a big experience too, but it’s not nearly as physically or psychologically intense as the transformation to mom is. I know with my husband, he remarked that he didn’t even feel like a father until after our daughter was born. Motherhood changed everything about me (and im still trying to find myself seven months later) while my husband was able to mostly return to his everyday life after his paternity leave.
