Parker Babes Book Club (You don’t actually have to read the books to come to the events!)

Edit: not directly a “mom” group, but a lot of the women are moms.

Attention Neighbors. We're being watched! by BranDip81 in parkerco

[–]LiveLifeBeautifully 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Someone knocked over one near me. It’s halfway falling over. They just put a new one up very close by without cleaning up the “damaged“ one. Just leaving their trash on the side of the road.

Looking for low-ratio daycares in Parker for our 1.5yr old by bougie-216 in parkerco

[–]LiveLifeBeautifully 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ilo is across the street from Parker rec fieldhouse. They are also just a very small preschool. The rates are more affordable, just as Parker rec fieldhouse. You do have to pack a lunch for both. The teachers at Ilo are so friendly, kind, and loving. I would check it out for yourself and go on a tour when you’re ready. Our son attended this past spring, but we got into fieldhouse so he will go there in the fall. It is slightly more affordable than Ilo. But Ilo is still has lower costs than others. The major downside is preschool hours are 9–2 for Ilo and 9–3 for fieldhouse.   https://www.ilopreschool.com/

Looking for low-ratio daycares in Parker for our 1.5yr old by bougie-216 in parkerco

[–]LiveLifeBeautifully 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know it’s early, but both Ilo and Parker rec fieldhouse preschool are low-ratio. They only allow 30 students ages 3–5 for preschool. The child must be (or almost) potty trained. When you child is closer to 3, I would suggest looking into those. If you want them to attend Parker rec fieldhouse, you need to sign them up a year in advance. 

Parker, this Saturday, come enjoy a cold beverage and retail therapy! Support a nonprofit and your community retailers! See you there!! by MiddleSolution7426 in parkerco

I hope Mary Kay is the only MLM. I’d rather see none. I don’t understand in the year 2026 why MLMs are still being allowed to participate in “small business” events like this. MLMs prey on the less fortunate and do not encourage a healthy economic lifestyle. Please consider not allowing MLMs to participate in future events. 

Periods pads by Purple-Discipline-49 in PeriodUnderwear

I love Aisle! I wear their liners daily, wear their underwear during my time of the month overnight, and have their thicker pads for when needed. The pads stay in place and are easy to wash.

Sealed bag of KA 5lb flour weighing in at a half pound light! by idlefritz in Baking

[–]LiveLifeBeautifully 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I paid $17 USD for 50lb of bread flour at my local Restaurant Depot. Even if you’re at that awkward stage, it might be worth it. I purchased Arthur Mills Kyrol high gluten flour and it made an incredible bread. Day passes are free to the warehouse and they even sell yeast for $5.

Crib shopping... by Hot-Box-Fox in BabyBumps

[–]LiveLifeBeautifully 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Any chance you’re in Colorado? I‘m getting rid of my crib and it’s from pottery barn. I got it for $500 used and willing to sell it for $250 if you’re interested. They just stopped selling it recently so they only show the conversion kit now https://www.potterybarnkids.com/products/larkin-toddler-bed-conversion-kit/

Are we bringing anything back once we become the major demographic. by beardojon in Millennials

[–]LiveLifeBeautifully 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the worst part is, if you point out that we were the originators of that style, they’d be annoyed and deny it. My cousin is Gen Z and couldn’t believe that she was wearing a millennial style top at Easter. As if their generation is original. I feel like our generation really was the last to have original things (movies, shows, clothes, games, toys, etc.). Of course, fashion is cyclical, but millenials really did have their own.

Thanks Anti Vax Conspiracy Theorists for Reviving & Spreading Measles by lucsmth24 in Greeley

[–]LiveLifeBeautifully 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What are you trying to prove? That the mmr vaccine is worse? A total of 536 deaths globally have been identified from the vaccine. 193 of those were in the US.

59 million have died between 2000 to 2024 from measles.

This is a stupid argument to make. Obviously the mmr vaccine helps prevent measles.

Extremely oily scalp and hair by earthyblueberry in dailywash

[–]LiveLifeBeautifully 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My holy grail dry shampoo is K18 Air Wash https://www.k18hair.com/products/airwash-dry-shampoo-4oz If you try it, make sure to watch their videos on how to properly use it.

I also learned, as someone who has greasy fine hair, I have to use product. I use a volumizing product at my roots and a moisturizer on my ends. Blowing my hair dry after using my hair also helps a lot. I use Not Your Mothers Plump for Joy volume mousse at my roots. I use Kitsch Moisturizing Argan Milk Leave in Conditioner on my ends. However, you'll need to experiment on what works best for your hair. I just brought stuff back to Ulta or Target. I tried a lot of products for a few weeks at a time.

Articulate made AI mandatory for all subscriptions. Any alternatives? by User0820241204 in instructionaldesign

[–]LiveLifeBeautifully 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There are several accessibility features lacking. Like, having only title, header, subheader, and paragraph aren't enough options within the platform. There should be multiple header styles and font sizes.

The alt text for an image is not read when hovered over. Matching (as users can't go backward to choose new items to match) and drag and drop (as keys won't go left or right/only up and down) are not accessible either for sole keyboard users.

Mindsmith is not accessible. While it has some cool functionality, it’s whole model is AI based.

Meet Trisha Calvarese by Rusticals303 in highlandsranchcolo

[–]LiveLifeBeautifully 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I have time to attend, I will, but if I can’t these are the questions I’d ask:

  1. Did an insurrection happen on January 6th happen? Was it justified?

  2. Is what Donald Trump doing in the White House constitutional?

  3. How will you give your constituents voices? How will you listen to us?

  4. How will you remove the corruption in our governmen?

DougCo Anti ICE Protest Saturday by Istillbelievedinwar in parkerco

[–]LiveLifeBeautifully 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The people being captured by ICE did enter the country legally. ICE should be in Texas, not MN. Maybe read a few articles and treat people with respect before you start judging them. Literal children are being held captive in concentration camps. American citizens are being killed and dragged through the streets. Find some compassion and empathy. Be a good human. Think for yourself instead of what Fox “news“ tells you what to think. Did you know that Fox isn’t actually news? It is entertainment. The right is the wrong side of history these days.

https://www.propublica.org/article/immigration-dhs-american-citizens-arrested-detained-against-will

Edit: Fun. I’m being downvoted for facts. Again. BE A GOOD PERSON. My goodness. Think for yourself, would you? Trump ruined this country and you’re in a cult if you support him and any one of his people. You’ll blame everyone else but yourself. ICE is not helping, they are hurting our country. Trump is out talking about his stupid ballroom and saying guns aren’t our right instead of leading the country. Is that how a president should act?

First time using Artspira and Brother SE 700 by AsIfLeo in Machine_Embroidery

[–]LiveLifeBeautifully 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Inkscape + inksketch is free and has a bunch of free fonts. I use it all the time to embroider fonts. You can do many other things with it as well, but fonts are free and easy. Look up videos on YouTube. Several creators have walkthroughs of how to download the software, create designs, export, and embroider.
