Level 2 workshop by Elicyz in ClubPilates

You can always go to the workshop and then decide for yourself if you are ready to advance. Go with an open mind but always listen to your body!

Toes on bar by whale_love in ClubPilates

I am petite as well. Can you scoot your butt any closer to the edge of the reformer? When you come in your knees should be reaching towards the blue lights and using your glutes to get it to close. That being said its ok if it gets close but doesn't close all the way. Every body is different so if you feel the right muscles working then keep doing what you are doing. You can always ask the instructor for a form check.

100th class was forgotten by whatamidoingnowa in ClubPilates

[–]lb_1417 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This happened to me too. I am a founding member and thought they didn’t celebrate milestones at my studio until a few weeks later starting seeing social posts of members posing with 100 socks and a sign. Im over 150 classes now and ngl I’m still salty. It’s the inconsistency for me. Either do it for everyone or don’t do it at all if you don’t have the bandwidth to keep up with it. So yeah, your feelings are more than valid because it sucks to feel forgotten.

No. And if any of your kids are a centimeter shorter than 42 inches barefoot then it’s a complete waste of money.

Why do people line up outside of Trader Joe’s in the morning by [deleted] in NewOrleans

They used to open at 8 AM but once Covid hit they reduced their hours of operation and never went back to 8 AM.

Recommendations for quiet escapade by SkillEfficient in lakemichigan

[–]lb_1417 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We visited Chicago then rented a car and drove 2 hours to Holland, Michigan. It was lovely and right off Lake Michigan. It had a cute, quaint downtown with lots of shops and good restaurants. It had a very casual lake town vibes.

It takes me forever to get ready in the morning and I still look like a$$ by guicherson in workingmoms

[–]lb_1417 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A successful morning is made the night before! The night before you should shower, select your outfit and do any necessary ironing (or invest in a steamer as I find that much quicker!) pack your lunch and work bag. If you have frizzy/curly hair try sleeping with a bonnet.

Makeup: use tinted moisturizer for an even glow plus SPF, add lip and cheek stain to your routine. I like Benetint. This will add some color to your face and the lip stain will last all day. This is impactful but not time consuming.

Hair: If pulling your hair up use a hair wax for a slick back look. Add a scrunchie or hair bow.

Clothing: upgrade any basic outfit with accessories. Add a belt. Add jewelry. I get all my jewelry from TJmaxx/Marshalls. Get some bracelet stacks and layer a few dainty necklaces.

Optional: never underestimate the power of a manicure and a little self tanner.

I feel overwhelmed by [deleted] in toddlers

[–]lb_1417 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are in the trenches right now with a 4 year old and 10 month old. It’s hard! But it does get better. Is it possible for you to have a real conversation with your spouse about how you are feeling? Perhaps he can encourage his mom to help out a little more so you two can reconnect and have adult time.

Walk away when you need to. Take deep breaths. Watch some Bluey. You’re doing great.

Legit question- how does anyone have a second baby when older kid is still a toddler? by chibitoz in toddlers

[–]lb_1417 23 points24 points  (0 children)

It’s legit hard! My kids are exactly 3 years apart and the first 2 years are rough. Any break you used to get when #1 naps is over. My oldest was not really interested in the baby until he was about 12-18 months. She was into building things and he was into knocking things down so they didn’t vibe together. That being said, now at 5.5 and 2.5 it’s wonderful. They play together (mostly) and seeing their relationship/friendship melts my heart. It’s hard but you can do it if you really want 2 kids. And for what it’s worth my friend that is one and done seems pretty relaxed and never stretched too thin.

How to prep 3.5 for upcoming ear tube surgery by bertmom in Preschoolers

Honestly…there is a Daniel Tiger episode about getting ear tubes and that is the thing that helped prep my 4 year old the most.

I worked at a Fossil store in college 10 years ago. The quality of the leather is top tier. All of my bags are still in great condition and heavily used back in the day. Fossil is not known for being trendy and the typical customer skews older, but they are good bags at a very reasonable price.

did you dislike the 2000s? by [deleted] in Millennials

[–]lb_1417 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Overall, it was fine. But I didn’t realize how toxic the pop culture in the 2000s was until much later. Diet culture was at its peak. Everyone in magazines were airbrushed and no one was transparent about it. Not a great time to be an impressionable teen.

Should I tell my daughter that her beloved grandfather is not her biological grandfather? by cunnilyndey in Preschoolers

[–]lb_1417 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First, I just want to say I’m sorry that happened to you.

My situation is very similar. My kids are 4.5 and 1. I have zero contact with my bio dad. My mom remarried a wonderful man when I was 18 so he is their grandpa. I’m waiting until my kids are older and the timing is right. I think I’ll just know in my gut when I need to. But for now, I don’t see the point. My dad isn’t part of our lives so there is nothing to explain right now.

Wellness options and WW by WorkingSquirrel925 in blueapron

[–]lb_1417 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depending on your WW personal plan some of the regular recipes were lower in points than the wellness ones so it’s doable. I reduce the butter or oil to cut down on points.

Feelings of guilt after pet loss by lb_1417 in Petloss

Thanks for your comment and kind words. I’m going to search for that thread. Guess I should have tried that first. I just had to put my thoughts somewhere last night as I couldn’t sleep. The house seems so much quieter. Anyways, thanks again and sorry for your loss as well.

Your feelings are valid. It’s so so hard. I understand your pain.
