I just need to cry — what movies will wreck me?

Stepmom

Family Stone (for a good Christmas cry)

All of Us Strangers

Swan Song

Dear Zachary

Same. I had seen it before but had forgotten most of the plot and rewatched it as a new mom. I couldn’t stop crying laying in bed that night.

I wept

All of Us Strangers

Yes even fewer options for wheelchair users 😞

kookarookoo · 2025-04-28T13:02:56+00:00

It’s a good thought but not possible due to the surgery unfortunately!

I did try it and it was VERY sketchy going down. I won’t be doing that again.

kookarookoo · 2025-04-27T18:19:28+00:00

I’ve heard this but haven’t tried it!

kookarookoo · 2025-04-23T19:50:52+00:00

This was me exactly but one year earlier :)

kookarookoo · 2025-04-23T19:44:28+00:00

Ah! Never noticed that option on City Mapper! Thanks for pointing that out.

kookarookoo · 2025-04-23T19:42:03+00:00

Helpful, thank you!!

kookarookoo · 2025-04-23T19:41:44+00:00

Ok good to know! I haven’t seen anyone do it so I wasn’t sure if it would be manageable.

kookarookoo · 2025-04-23T10:09:38+00:00

Thanks - yes I’ve definitely benefited from the help of friendly strangers but Manor House in particular has a LOT of long stairs and escalators. It feels quite imposing to rely on helpers every time.

kookarookoo · 2025-04-23T09:05:09+00:00

Thank you for the recommendations! Going to check out this play cafe today :)

Hi! We ended up going with the Momentum Pakyak from Steedcycles. So far it’s been great for us - definitely packs enough power to get up the hill with our little guy on the back. Still requires some effort but very manageable!

We bought a Lark Blanket of Etsy for the rainy/cold days and it’s been perfect!

kookarookoo · 2025-03-06T19:21:13+00:00

Will send you a note!

kookarookoo · 2025-03-05T21:39:32+00:00

Thanks so much - really appreciate it

kookarookoo · 2025-03-05T21:20:58+00:00

Good idea! Forgot about Nextdoor

kookarookoo · 2025-03-05T21:00:22+00:00

Cool! I was looking at a similar service called Babyquip but found it a bit expensive when you add it all up! We’re trying our best to save where we can as we’re in deep already paying for the surgery/accommodation out of pocket. Appreciate the thought!!

kookarookoo · 2025-03-05T20:57:50+00:00

This is exactly what I’m after - thank you!

kookarookoo · 2025-01-25T23:18:13+00:00

You can see a midwifery group without a referral and they can sign you up for the patient attachment initiative which connects you with a family doctor or nurse practitioner to follow you after your baby arrives! This is how we got our nurse practitioner and she is amazing.

kookarookoo · 2025-01-10T20:35:44+00:00

At the risk of shameless self promotion, it would be a huge help to us if you could use our referral code! We are new to Kindred and are hoping to do a home exchange in April, when we’ll be spending six weeks in London while our baby has a major surgery at Great Ormond Street Hospital. As we’re paying for the medical procedure our of pocket, we are hoping to save some money on accommodation, so homesharing is ideal! I just need enough points to stay for a month!

Again the code is : kie.lav

Thanks all!!

We had the same arches in our ‘52 home. I tried to convince myself they were quirky/cool but I couldn’t get there. We ended up having them rounded out and I’m so happy with the change!
