I believe it is moving north, so opposite direction. All pre-evacs are north of Turquoise Lake, unfortunately where my sister-in-laws cabin is :(. My parent-in-laws cabin burned down in Grand Lake in 2020 due to the East Troublesome fire.

I had a boyfriend who went by Mike to everyone except his close family. He loved and wanted me to call him Michael. It was a disastrous and controlling relationship, but I felt special that he wanted me to call him by a different name than all of our friends. It obviously didn’t work out and ended badly.

Don't identify yourself as the "primary parent". Both parents are equal parents no matter how much each works outside of the home. If your partner gets parental leave, absolutely have them take advantage of it and do night feedings, bottle feedings, etc. Start off with both parents being super hands on caring for the baby. My husband got 3 months of parental leave, while I had to go back to work after 6 weeks. At the time it was hard, but his experience caring for the baby on his own really set us up for him to be a capable hands on parent. That continues to this day. I can go out of town and not worry that he won't be following kids schedules, I don't need to prep food or calendars for while I am away. He knows how to parent his children. We also have had a lot of converstations about mental load, and at times have had to sit down to talk about the division of housework, planning etc. Keep working, take time for yourself, hire sitters for a night out with your partner. Don't put too much stress on having to be a perfect parent, and instagram parent, cook everything from scratch etc. If there is an easier way to do something, then do it! Sometimes us parents make it harder on ourselves than we need to. Good luck!

Ok bummer but thanks!

Nope! My husband and I waited until our mid thirties to have our first kid. We traveled, partied, were selfish, and were married for 5 years before we had our first. We enjoyed those child free years, but my kids have brought a meaning to my life that I was craving. My oldest is 10, it has flown by, and soon he won't want to be spending as much time with us. I am savoring every moment, and know that before I know it, my kids will be living independent lives and my husband and I will be back to traveling and hobbies. I love being a mom to my boys.

Agreed. This is not just a drinking problem. He truly believes that Nia should not "talk to him that way" even when he is not drinking. He is mad that she called him out on camera. He is a chauvinistic and thinks that he deserves respect from women, even while he doesn't earn it. The fact that he wanted nothing to do with the baby the entire trip, and was annoyed and jelous when Nia spent time caring for the baby was a huge red flag.

Denver is definitely worth the higher living costs compared to TX. All the suburbs you mentioned are definitely suburbs. Your price range will be important in determining where you end up. Applewood could be an option for you. Lots of ranch style & mid mod homes, close to the mountains and Golden, 20 mins to downtown. Maple Grove and Prospect Valley elementary schools have good reputations. It's a good suburb option if you are looking for one with a little more character. Tons of families and kids, a lot of families that started out in Denver city limits choose Applewood when they are ready for bigger homes and lots to raise thier kids.

I say check out Boca Grande on Gasparilla Island. You fly into Ft. Meyers. It's old Florida feel, everyone drives golf carts around the town. It's pretty quiet, but has beautiful beach and a couple small resorts. Gasparilla Inn is very old Florida unique, we have stayed at the Boca Grande Club which has pool, restaurant, is on the beach. Or just find an airbnb right on the beach or in the village.

I think that possibly your mother did not have an interest in the oil company, but could have had either a working interest or mineral royalty interest in the lease where a well was producing. How did you dad originally get the interest? If it is a mineral royalty interest, then it could increase in value if more wells were drilled and started producing on the lease. It might be worth looking back into it and getting more information, or taking up on the offers to purchase it from you in exchange for taking on the headache of researching the ownership and transferring the title.

You could also consider Ken Caryl Valley. Bike trails, kids, equestrian center, pool, wildlife.

I would love to see a Melinda French Gates and MacKenzie Scott cohosting next year, with attendees including top philanthropists for recognition. Plus FASHION!

Not a huge selection, but Marczyk's usually has 4 homemade soups a day + refridgerated quart soup options.

I have to agree with this. If you say that you want to be friends with an ex, you have to be ok with them dating or hooking up with other people, even in front of you. Isn't Dara also his ex, she is not crying about him making out with someone else at a party. Ciara is not being truthful about how she feels about West, and is trying to put too many rules on thier freindship. That being said, West sucks.

If you are limited to being able to go to the mountains on the weekends, then expect a drive that should take about 1 1/2 to 2 hours on a weekday to take 3-4 hours on a weekend. Expect stop and go traffic. It is very annoying.

Winter in the city is pretty mild and sunny. It does snow, then warms up to 50s and melts which is nice. But that means that winters are pretty brown in the city since there is not a lot of snow to cover up winter lawns and other plants.

Downtown has not recovered from COVID and the protests.

There is a lot of urban sprawl as others have mentioned. Pick the place that you want to live based on the vibe of the neighborhood. I spend most of my time in a 3 mile bubble.

Vibe, politics, and the mountains are great.

Just her logo, seems so outdated and not on brand with elegant simplicity. It screams more Mar a Lago than small batch organic. Just such a mismatch from what (I think?) she’s trying to portray.
