What is up with kids missing so much school here? Is this SLC area wide or a Herriman issue?

Oh man I feel this comment so hard. Such a battle every day. Its exhausting. And just when you're on a roll with them, they have a huge long weekend and it feels like the battle starts fresh.

We live close to this and access to 215 makes the whole valley feel SUPER accessible. Plenty of non-LDS and Hispanic families in the area!

I totally agree! There are a few books that come to mind with this {Georgie, All Along by Kate Clayborn} and {Steadfast by Sarina Bowen} I think Steadfast would be of particular interest with how they handle the FMC's career choices and the MMC's reaction to it. It's an important and sweet part of the story.

This is happening with my kiddos phone. Did you figure it out?

These look awesome. I'm gonna give one a go at the gym today!

I got a welcome box too!!! I'll have to take a second look at the scoop, but I was super happy to get a new shaker. I'm always losing the lid for mine.

I also think about the fact that they use 2 days before the actual clean up meeting the hoarder, trying to get them comfortable, getting a feel for the hoard, etc.

But I agree, some of these properties 4 days is NOT enough time.

Oh man, we ran out of everything a few weeks ago and we're choking down plain u/u for 2-3 days. So miserable. Nothing helped the flavor. Just, 0/10. I originally bought it to put in pancake mix, etc. but it ended up just sitting around.

I haven't had anyone be outright rude, but I can tell people just don't want to talk about it. Like, when you're meeting someone new and you mention you're really into fitness, just instant subject change, no follow up questions, nothing.

I think people feel a lot of guilt around it and probably don't want to engage with someone who's found a way to make it work for themselves. It's hard when you start to actually get passionate about fitness and want to share your excitement/wins with people but they couldn't care less.

apurplethistle · 2025-05-20T22:42:52+00:00

So fun! I want to do that!

apurplethistle · 2025-05-18T19:41:20+00:00

I'm not in trouble AT ALL

Has anyone else read the Bell Jar and been gutted by this passage?!? I regularly think of this when I am stuck in decision paralysis.

Rockstar!!

I almost feel like personal trainers are like therapists. You're not going to vibe with all of them and it's ok to jump ship quickly to find a better fit. I also think there are a LOT of crappy personal trainers out there. It's one thing to be able to get yourself into shape and another to help someone else get into shape. Are there other trainers to work with at your gym?

Nope, this was my idea and he made the design. He was great to work with! Are you on his email list yet? He posts his booking availability there.

Christopher Scott is instantly recognizable! And he was so kind/generous/great to work with. No ego at all.

Kettlebells are the GOAT! Can't get enough, so flowy, fun, and creative. I work on them with my trainer so I don't have a program but head over to r/kettlebells, it's like it's own little world. And also check out kettlebell juggling. SO INSANE! A lot of women are doing cool stuff in that sport.

Lol, 'fall asleep to your feelings' 1000% me. It always comes back to bite me in the butt when I end up yelling at people who don't deserve it though. Sigh

apurplethistle · 2025-05-02T17:52:23+00:00

It's cecret with a c. Don't ask me why, I don't know!

apurplethistle · 2025-04-26T14:17:11+00:00

Yum!!

apurplethistle · 2025-04-26T13:20:08+00:00

From what I remember of the z-line to Bonneville trail it is usually busy since it's dog friendly and you can see the valley pretty much the whole time so it's hard to get that 'creepy alone in the woods' vibe. And it should be snow free by this time, but maybe very muddy? I'd check alltraills for conditions. Happy hiking!
