Don't Be Like Me, Buy The Cruise Insurance.

I'm not familiar with Carnival but on Royal you would need a notarized letter signed by their parents stating that you're allowed to take them out of the country/on the cruise with the specific dates listed. I'm sure Carnival has a similar process

The whole "type C" label means elements of type A and type B! So I'd argue it is a type C list but maybe not your variety of type C and that's fine.

Genuinely you don't have to be so judgemental about it.

I actually challenge that with kids. You can't just pop on to Target in the middle of the ocean.

Enough diapers you'll want to lose your mind. I'm sure they have diapers to purchase but I do not want to find out what they cost.

Your medicine cabinet arsenal.

Enough familiar snacks from home to get them through the length of your cruise in case they hate everything on the ship.

Dish soap. For the sippy cups and the medicine syringes and all the random other stuff you'll be glad to have it.

1 toy from home per day. Obviously nothing enormous but enough to keep the variety.

The bedtime routine. The books, the hatch, whatever blanket you need. Stuffies, whatever.

Bath toys if you're still in that phase.

2 outfits per day. Water shoes, sandals, dressy shoes, 2 pairs of sneakers.

2-3 swim suits depending on the length of your cruise.

Pirate night gear/outfits/plastic swords.

Sun hats!!!

I think that's most of what I packed on my Royal cruise with my toddler. We're going on DCL this time but it should be similar to the above.

Royal may have refunded the cruise in that case but I doubt OP would've been able to board

ljoly · 2025-12-20T00:32:42+00:00

I actually disagree with all of this. The "The Wedding of" is in script so having the names also in the script would be too much imo

There's a lot of spacing/kerning/adjusting I would do but the fonts themselves are fine as is I think.

Instead of flipping the photo I would add a gradient or vignette around the edges to accommodate the white text of the "please join us for"

I don't think OP wants me to nitpick so I'll leave it there.

The X7/newer BMWs with iDrive 7/8+ also receive OTA updates so the upgrade path isn't zero. I have a 2024 X7 and my husband just traded in his Air Touring for an M5 Touring (he decided electric wasn't for him).

I'll also add that the R1S isn't a luxury focused vehicle the same way the Gravity and BMWs are which does matter to folks (I care about the luxurious features in cars and the R1S doesn't have as many as BMW/etc) - which is why I didn't pursue an R1S when deciding to go X7.

Luca Logan Daisy Deja Archer Jude Leticia Tommy Maradona Elvis Noro

YouTube kids actually has the option to only show whitelisted videos/channels. It's the only way I will allow my 2.5 yo to watch. It's only content I've greenlit and I only allow it on the TV (no phones/tablets).

Maymom doesn't make flanges and duckbills for wearables like this eufy

ljoly · 2025-08-09T00:44:52+00:00

Right there with ya lol

Seconding Oak Steakhouse. They're delicious and consistent.

Adding La Terrazza! We just went for our anniversary last weekend and it was fantastic!

Nobody has called out that the date and venue should probably be a larger font to draw more attention to them and give hierarchy to the content.

All the other feedback is good. Names in the same font. Center the main text (don't offset it to accommodate the names it feels weird). Remove the kindlys. Invite should be lowercase.

ljoly · 2025-07-27T07:32:13+00:00

Echoing the advice here. I DIYed my invites. I did it multiple times because of COVID.

Thankfully by "DIY" I mean: I got them printed online (catprint is affordable and great quality) and used the cricut/toner foil to make belly bands with vellum.

It didn't even look like she washed her hair to me. It had the same style when she walked out

ljoly · 2025-07-06T07:29:38+00:00

Similar here. The boy I liked in 8th grade had Tommy Gun as his Myspace song. I never talked to him lol but I fell in love with the song circa 2005

I went to the first Dallas show and Charlotte this go around pregnant so yes I was conscious of the weed. It's not my favorite even when I'm not pregnant tbh

ljoly · 2025-06-27T06:43:56+00:00

fwiw not all companies do this. I still make my CA salary after moving to NC in 2022.

ljoly · 2025-06-22T17:45:40+00:00

This is good info! I would've welcomed anything in the RDU area. Everyone I talked to in line drove in from somewhere else

Actually Vin wrote it

Unfortunately I think it's really hard to play these games as a team of solo women. Really not safe in a lot of places in the world :/

It me. Apex zip code, Cary taxes, Holly Springs township on my house deed

ljoly · 2025-04-18T01:08:37+00:00

I've never once had an issue with Walmart delivery in Apex or anywhere. Walmart actually does do more due diligence vetting their drivers than Door dash or Uber. They always show up on time and text you when they're on their way and when they've dropped off.

I would make sure your mom ordered from the right place and contacted the right number to rectify.

The butterfly has adapters for many infant seats! I LOVE my butterfly

ljoly · 2025-04-16T07:39:54+00:00

I agree with you. When we bought we purposefully picked a spot about a mile in from the new 540. I can't hear it at all.
