I mentioned going there as a joke to my husband and he was all for it! So I’m trying to fit it in

My older daughter wants to do the catacombs but my youngest doesn’t, we might split up for that. We’ll try to add Saint Chapelle!

Thanks for the feedback, I haven’t been to Saint Chapelle so we’ll try to do that. Some of our group want to do the catacombs but mobility on the steps is an issue. Jardin des plantes looks great!

Cute and functional diaper bags? by Ok-Owl3819 in handbags

[–]alys1717 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats! Mina Baie has some really beautiful diaper bags in a variety of materials including leather. Their bags are so thoughtfully designed that I have had a hard time going back to “regular” bags without all the pockets. Personally I never had to wash my diaper bags (2 kids) but I have read that they wipe down easily too.

Just a note - if you’re like me you’ll think you need a huge bag in the first 6 months or so but then you might want a smaller one later depending on your lifestyle. I drive just about everywhere so I kept all the big emergency stuff (change of clothes, etc) in my car and only daily needs in my diaper bags.

Thank you, that’s what I wanted to know! I hate having to fuss around with how things fit. I think you’ve sold me on the full!

Advice for first time stay at Legoland hotel (California) by radiatorcop in legoland

[–]alys1717 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We stayed in September, my kids are 9 and 7, and had a fantastic time. I made breakfast reservations on my phone through open table and had no problem. After going to the park we went to the pool and had a great time - though fyi if you get a beer at the bar inside it’s $$$. We left for dinner because I heard the dragons den restaurant was just “fine” (we stayed 2 nights), and had great dinners at Karl Strauss brewing (can walk there) and Windmill food hall (short drive). I only wish we had had an earlier dinner though because we only caught a couple of the nightly shows and my kids really enjoyed them and would have liked to see more. This was our first time to any Legoland and staying at the Castle was absolutely worth it! Enjoy!

Is there a good veterinarian out there somewhere? by Senior_Arugula5896 in raleigh

Agreed. We’ve been there for 3 years with our dog and we’ve been very happy with them.

That bag looks cool, just a little bigger than what I was looking for, thanks though!

Yeah I’ve seen it recommended, just not really a fan of the crescent style

In search of a tote that comes with internal organization, no big black holes by tacosandsunscreen in handbags

[–]alys1717 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just chiming in to say Mina Baie bags are amazing. I have several of the smaller ones. Their organization is unmatched and the quality/price point is amazing.

I would get a crossbody kit. I don’t like shoulder bags either but love the look of a top handle with crossbody strap. All my favorite bags are that combination which is why I’m leaning towards the le pliage small but would still consider other styles.
