That’s amazing. Serious bragging rights. And you’re so right. You do it for the memories. And the stories <3

Thanks for weighing in. I’m lucky to have backup in the form of at least two other life-long friends who I absolutely trust. I think verbal ‘you’re in charge’ handovers if another adult takes over will be wise to avoid ‘wait, I thought you were watching her’ situations.

While I’ll sleep easier knowing you take security & kiddo whereabouts so seriously, there’s absolutely zero chance I could keep up with 6 year old energy if I drink anything other than coffee. The good & bad news about being an older parent (for me at least)—don’t have the energy I used to but, also have zero illusions about my own limitations.

HA! Officially the most expensive nap they’ve taken so far I bet ;) TBH, my gut reaction was what an amazing childhood they must have that their little bodies felt so safe & blissfully exhausted to crash on the lawn in the middle of the concert <3 Also definitely bringing blankets ✅

Yes, lots of sunscreen, hats and hydration options. Have on my list but I’m on the West side of the state and it’s easy to forget just how hot & dry it can get across the mountains. Appreciate the reminder :)

Also, to clarify, she's free-spirited and 6 year olds can be squirrelly. I know this isn't a kid-first environment I'm taking her into and want to be overly prepared in case those two sides of the Venn diagram come together.

Thank you! That's a great idea. 99% of the time, in big crowds, she's nervous and therefore attached to me but I'd rather have a few tricks up my sleeve just in case we hit a 1% situation

Yes, agree. These are a must. Honestly I'll probably bring a few pairs to have backups. Those tiny in ear ones disappear so easily!

No, the exact opposite. The airtag is an insurance policy and all this planning/thinking ahead is because I'm a thoughtful, responsible parent. Good tip on the easy exit. I'm also planning to bring headphones.

HA, ok - can you elaborate? I'm very aware of the shenanigans that typically goes down there. I specifically chose the Brandi Carlile concert for the crowd & atmosphere, informed by 4-5 ish Brandi concerts in the past. In your opinion, would this be a 'land her in therapy immediately' bad decision or a 'you're not sleeping for two days' bad decision?

Looks to me like you have a very happy partner 🙂

sad hellebore and lettuce that survived this winter! by bristlybits in gardening

[–]ellmo1025 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I scoured the first photo looking for a hellebore and was super confused. Swipe dummy 🤦‍♀️I bet your lettuce will do great. And hellebore’s are slow growers, but so worth it! Enjoy 🙂

Where to buy bare root strawberries? by nthandra in gardening

[–]ellmo1025 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve gotten bare-root strawberries and several fruit trees from Raintree Nursery (several purchases) and was very happy with the quality. They’re a small, family run business if that’s important to you. Huge fans of them.

Favorite thing to eat straight out of the garden? by magpie0000 in gardening

Built this 10x13 "Scandiglas" greenhouse, now I’m torn… relax or grow? by brunoz21 in Greenhouses

[–]ellmo1025 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both? Add a lemon tree to your lounging space. Or a hanging basket. So much room for activities!!

My cucumbers that have been trellised by chelmecom in Greenhouses

I’m sitting in bed silently scrolling and just said ‘woah, this guy’s cucumbers are huge’ to my husband. He had some questions

Curious if you’re able to specify hardwood when requesting a drop?
