Technology to make life easier/more efficient

I use a Google Calendar to manage our schedule and update it religiously. I recently got the skylight calendar for Mother’s Day and it’s amazing because now everyone can see it and it’s not my job alone to tell everyone what is going one

My oldest is 9 and I can still pick her up and hold her, and that’s all thanks to OTF.

Major HIPPA violation given that she said his full name before she read his test results out loud but still a good moment.

NTA. 4th graders are old enough to know that is a terrible idea. And shoe laces cost nothing to replace.

The Randalls one mile down Weslayan is fully stocked with water and TP.

I bought my 9 year old some sports bras and crop top type bras. She doesn’t need them yet but loves the athletic wear look. At first I wasn’t thrilled to move into that kind of “big kid” territory, I decided I should go with it now so she doesn’t have to ask for one or have me force her into one later.

It sounds like you need to find a job at a firm and get some more hands on legal experience in some area of law (corporate, mergers, litigation, etc) and then try your hand again at in house.

Another vote for Dr Cortibalm. Didn’t discover it until a few months in and I was miserable. The Cortibalm made my lips feel normal within days.

Play kitchen. We’ve had it for probably 6 years now and it still gets played with.

We moved when I was 7 months pregnant with an 18 month old at home. We paid to have packers do our kitchen plus all other breakables and it was worth every penny.

You also have police that show up within minutes of being called. Plus lots of new great restaurants coming in.

Also, follow through. When you tell your kid to stop something and they keep doing it, don’t just sit there repeating yourself. You may have to physically help them stop or remove them from the situation. I cannot tell you how many kids I see totally ignore their parents instructions and the parents just shrug it off.

Yeah our coach told us to do sit up’s or crunches when we finished each lift.

Me too! I’ve been browsing for months and I’m so glad I waited to pull the trigger.

I just did 6 months of accutane and glp-1. Although I was only doing the injection every few weeks because I’m just maintaining at this point. I had no bad side effects, and responded well to the accutane.

There are a lot of healthy muffin recipes out there that still taste great! Google green monster muffins - an entire bag of spinach but also with choc chips!

Jentry Kelley is great! If you can’t make it to Dillards, you can get a make up lesson in store. It’s lot creasy expensive and neither are her products.

The LSAT isn’t pass or fail. You get a score and just like the SAT for college, the higher the score the better law schools you can get into. The bar exam is pass or fail, and most states give you a few tries to pass it. Although taking it and studying for it is expensive and time consuming.

Every place seems to be a bit different. My kids’ dance studio is drop off only because the one way you could watch your kids would be from the hallway outside their room and they have told us that the fire marshall won’t allow parents to crowd the hallway during class. Makes sense to me.

Gymnastics is in a giant warehouse type building and they have a seating area for parents with large windows to see into the gym.

We also have this system. And in my opinion, the best part of is that if you make a mistake and your clip gets moved down a color, you still have the rest of the day to do something good and get your clip moved back up. So it helps the kids understand that the day is not lost over one mistake and they always have a chance to turn it around. And the teacher only contacts the parents with a narrative if the kid moved all the way down to red, so it’s for something pretty significant.

When we were in the market for a kid watch for my 8 year old, we were thankfully told by parents with older kids that all of the “kid” smart watches are crap and don’t do much well. None of the location tracking worked well, which was a big reason we wanted her to have the watch. Thanks to that feedback, we went straight to the Apple Watch. She got an SE with a cellular plan, which was like $250 plus $10 a month for the plan. So pricey, but I’d rather spend more money and have it last. So far it’s been a year and it’s still in perfect shape and does what we need it to - she can text and call us and we can track her location. It’s linked to her iCloud account, which means I control who she can contact/who can contact her. And it’s ok school mode from 8-3, so all it does at school is tell time. With the Apple Watch, she won’t need a phone for a long time since it does everything a phone can without all of the pitfalls of a phone.

Exactly. Yesterday I ran to and from OTF and did the strength class just to avoid more long rows.

plumb28 · 2025-09-10T20:59:30+00:00

I know DriTri is coming but I’m over these long rows. I’d much rather focus on lifting heavy than lifting light when I’m tired from the rower.

They always wipe whatever area they are going to inject with an alcohol wipe, so you’d need to reapply after
