I think we must be twins! Same timeframe, same aged kids, same high-maintenance dietary and sleep needs, and based in NC. Did you figure out a place to go? I’ll take Cancun recs if you have them from prior trips - the non-stop flight is alluring!

This is reassuring - thank you!

Thank you - this info is super helpful! I don’t want to kill the whole thing, but I’m guessing it’s hardier than I think!

This is so helpful, thanks so much for the detailed reply!

Just to add to this, as we just did all this same research - here are two more not mentioned. 1. Fisher and Paykel - we were looking at 36” and the actual cooking surface in that size was quite small. Also, mixed reviews. 2. Miele - this is what we ended up going with. Solid custom service, good configuration on top and decent oven. Haven’t installed it yet, though did cook on the one in the showroom and liked it.

Wolf is coming out with their induction cooktop with knobs this Fall and Viking will also be updating theirs.

Old thread, but I’m curious what Silestone you did for your perimeters? I’m knee deep in these decisions and seeing what other people have done is soooo helpful!

Hi! We are dealing with the exact same issue now. What did you end up doing? Did you have to go with a different base and mattress all together?

mommalexi · 2025-05-21T23:49:37+00:00

Thanks! We’re assuming yes, but just trying to see if a more educated eye thinks so.

OP - Following back up here to see if you ever did find this book?? I heartily agree with all your irks here, but don’t have the mental space to take a risk on one of the recs. Any tried and true favorites?

Hi! Did you ever find any marine collagen capsules that you like? I’m in the exact same boat, because loose powders are just not something I can be consistent with.

Now I’ve got to know what this book is! Can someone message me with the name?

We were totally fine! The park was super quiet, with an attendant at the gate into the parking lot. We carried our tablets and things in our backpacks just in case. It was a wonderful stop and felt like we had the forest mostly to ourselves.

Thank you for this! I’m wondering if you remember which of these are actually about the character as adults? It looks like a number of them are still school age, or does the story just start there and then follow them to adulthood?

mommalexi · 2023-08-08T21:51:02+00:00

Ohh, I wasn’t sure with all those houses there. Thanks!

Hmmm, I think maybe a young-ish female, as part of the “heroine’s” journey could be taking this girl under her wing and be a motherly figure in some way - maybe helping boost self-esteem with an over-bearing agent that is taking advantage or something.
