I recommend PARASOL. We switched from coterie to this brand and have loved them!! You can buy a sample pack to try them out as well!

@Lonestarlittles this made me LOL . I can relate .

So fun!! Here are a few good recs:

1. Herbs & Rye for dinner and drinks after at the golden Tiki
2. Diner Ross for dinner
3. Best Friend (asian/fusion)
4. Superfrico - is fun and entertaining. They have small acts throughout the night.
5. Mayfair at the bellagio

I would check out the menus and see what you all prefer!

If you are thinking Napa/California area I prefer Sonoma over Napa. Much more boutique wineries, smaller and a very cute little downtown.

Fredricksburg is always fun, but if you truly want to make a trip out of it I would recommend Sonoma!!

A hot bath with zero interruption!! While your at it get yourself the coconut HEB popsicles and eat one in your bath... they are so delicious and refreshing!!

If you search the posts there is another whole thread all about this topic! My advice is do whatever gives you the least amount of anxiety. If you send and kinder year doesn't go well, you can always still hold them back. My niece ended up getting held back in 1st grade (academic reasons).

@lcmom99 sorry it’s been a couple years since we’ve gone, so it may have changed. Look into the kids passport option:

Now that I think of it I think this only works for 4th/5th/6th graders, and not free but it was like $69 for 3 days or something. Pretty good deal saved us some money.

I don't have a specific place to recommend but in terms of places, here's what I would recommend for skiing. It also depends on how old your kids are, as some of the ones we have made a priority are "kids ski free" ones.

-Crested Butte (kids ski free under 4)
-Big Sky (kids ski free under 6)
-Steamboat (Kids 12 years old and younger can ski for free the same number of days as an accompanying adult who purchases a lift ticket for five or more days).
-Park City (Kids in kindergarten through fifth grade are eligible for five free days of skiing)
-Brighton, Snowbasin and Snowbird (UTAH) - all VERY affordable, kids ski free and a GREAT starter mountain if you have first timers.

Also heard great things about New Mexico for beginning skiing as well!

I would recommend having him go to a naturopath doctor and getting all blood panels ran. He could be deficient in a few different things that are leading to this. My husband was able to get to the root issue and get on a few different supplements that helped a lot!

Here are a few of my fav that I feel protect my face too!

Victoria Diva Hat

My favorite amazon hat - cheap and gets the job done.

Also love this amazon hat. - Great because I can still get sun on my hair to help with natural highlights in the summer!

Beaux med spa (multiple locations dependent on where you are located). They offer a monthly membership and you can choose whatever service you need that month and its included in your membership. Comes out to a great deal for lasers, injections etc. If your in Austin I go to the westlake location.

Champagne and Chanel is good and has two little boys, shes big time though!

Love Heymadineslon (she's out of Dallas, and seems like a true good person and their family life is cute).

Austinmomwalks is a fun one and they do walks you could join at anytime!

Only if I happen to be ordering pizza for the kids for dinner that night. If not, I usually just say help yourself to anything in the fridge and pantry .

we love primally pure "nature spray"!! It's made with essential oils.

I agree that it was the correct verdict. Unfortunately, this is the type of police corruption that happens everyday. She's lucky it turned into a big story for her sake and getting the attention from the media etc.

Myriam at Marmel Beauty! She's at Lake Travis Laser Skincare & Aesthetics. She's wonderful!

Do512 family has lots of free events usually on their calendar. You can find all of them here: Free Event Calendar

We also love the wildflower center these days!!

@libramama never heard of Russian manicures...fill us in about them!!

Does anyone else get anxiety with summer and all the camp schedules? I feel like the mental load of the different camps each week, different drop offs and pick up times is so overwhelming. On top of that I work full time so managing my work schedule with all of that just makes me want to skip over summer. It makes me feel sad because I truly used to love summer as a kid and don't want to dread it!

Are you a costco member, if so we got our Avocado mattress from Costco on sale! That being said, I am more of team naturepedic!

Also heard good things about White Lotus Home and Hapsy - both non toxic.
