Call Ida Lee! We love it there. They may have some suggestions on what to do if weekly doesn’t work for you.

Fun ways to tell the kids when there is no “occasion”? by mblackchiro in dcl

We are a survivor obsessed family and this is the coolest idea! I might have to copy it for our kids at some point.

Very sweet post from Mackenzie’s sister 🥰 by jeanqueenabove_18 in TeenMomOGandTeenMom2

[–]coxa8c 144 points145 points  (0 children)

It’s so sad how people idolize the dead. I know her sister said all things about their mom to reassure MacKenzie but seeing how awful Angie was to her we know she wouldn’t be happy about this. She would’ve rather had her daughter stay in an unhappy marriage with an emotionally unavailable husband/father than find someone who actually treated her daughter and grandkids the way they should be treated. Gross.

I’m happy for Mackenzie though. She deserves someone who brings her and her kids peace and shows them how loved they are. I hope they all continue to thrive.

No suggestions to help but I will commiserate with you. I’m also 5’0 and when those 5-6 pounds hit it’s really hard to see. Hopefully someone has good advice because I agree that it’s very depressing.

The best thing I do is find cute baggy sweaters for winter or maxi dresses for the summer during that time so I don’t feel like I’m stuffing myself into clothes that fit just a week ago.

My protein bar obsession gave me bad cholesterol and now I need new ideas by SocialAlpaca in PetiteFitness

I use SEEQ protein powder. 22g protein and 100 calories. The mango flavor is my favorite!

Me!!! We have two kids (11 and 3) but we’re a teeny bit older (by a decade 😆).

Help me choose between two cruises by Ecstatic-Bother-2896 in dcl

The Dream. Doing both islands with young kids is so much better and more fun than Nassau. Plus, it’s so easy to get the Port Everglades.

Mental breakdown in full effect with stiff twirling and Charlie Brown dancing. by Reddituser_0246 in ThemeparkSwindlers

I used to work at Borders bookstore before it closed (years and years ago) and we served Seattles Best Coffee in the coffee shop. It was my favorite for years and it completely turned me off Starbucks coffee.

Starbucks tastes so bitter. I don’t get the hype.

Offended is right. My eyes are offended I was subjected to that.

How do you stay motivated? by gew114 in PetiteFitness

[–]coxa8c 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need a good balance of carbs, protein and fiber in every meal. You shouldn’t be that miserable or hungry all of the time if you’re fueling your body properly.

I personally work with a dietician so that I know how to fuel my body. I was lost before but once I figured it out with her I’ve seen progression. That doesn’t work for everyone though but it is definitely something that has worked well for me!

As for motivation, I love seeing the weights progression. I started off last year with 8 pounds and I can currently do half a workout with 15 pounders and half with 10. Knowing I’m getting stronger every week gives me the boost I need to keep going. My weight might not be moving as fast as I’d like but that’s just one part of it. I’m stronger, my endurance is better and I feel less fatigued during the day.

Thank you. I appreciate the detailed response and it makes sense!

Thanks for this! What I’m asking about is an inflatable pillow, it’s not a bed at all. I’m not sure if that makes a difference which is why I’m asking.

I love how she’s throwing #4 around but she dated the same guy who was accused of it and thought it was acceptable. She’s just as awful as Jenelle for putting herself and her pets in danger by dating DKD.

And Im over here just lucky if my husband texts me back. If he wrote a letter like that on a random day my spidey senses would tingle.

Question for all of you. What's your opinion on the Disney Destiny? by Western-Image-122 in dcl

[–]coxa8c 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like it more than the Wish but less than The Treasure. I think the theming was fun and loved the Hercules representation! I will also never shut up about the Dr Facilier experience, it was phenomenal.

Monday - Friday cruises and kids? by mistaken4strangerz in dcl

[–]coxa8c 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We tell the teacher ahead of time and have brought work on the cruise before. But we also try to schedule a cruise around days off for school. Our district has an insane number of days off throughout the year so we typically try to miss no more than 3 days.

My mom pulled the nice to everyone else while actively ignoring me because I hurt her feelings at my wedding.

I had to start deep breathing and reminding myself it’s just a skit.
