Hey guys! David and I are trying to plan our vacation for this year, which we usually take in March/April. We’re kind of short on ideas this year (everywhere I want to go is out of the country and airfare is a killer expense). I was thinking about The Redwood Forest in California, it’s someplace I’ve always wanted to visit.
One thing David is always worried about is running out of things to do, so what are some other things around there to do? I know there’s Crescent City beach but he isn’t super fond of beaches. Any nearby cities with fun things?
Or any other recommendations for places to go? We went to Universal Orlando last year, and gatlinburg the year before, and then Seattle in 2015. I’ve also been to Chicago, NYC, All the beaches along the southern US...I’d like to go somewhere new that isn’t super crowded like LA , Chicago, or Orlando.
Redwood is close to humbolt I think which is really pretty. Theres also big bear in that direction (if I remember correctly) whivh has beautiful lodging places
The only thing I’m concerned about it the time of year. We normally take vacation in early spring (late March-mid April) and I’m not sure what the weather looks like there around that time. In Tennessee it’s a toss-up from day to day, one day it’s 80° and the next it’s snowing. 😂
@scurlock.mommy around this time of year it's typically a little chillier sometimes it's snowing especially the closer towards the mountains and Big Bear that you get. I know it is colder and rainy depending on what part of the Redwoods you're in this time of year ... It wouldn't hurt to Google it. I've been they're both in the warm months and cold months and both times it was beautiful both In the redwoods and Big Bear
Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
IUI Monday!!
So today I went in for my routine bloodwork and ultrasound, and found out that I have three follicles at 17mm! Plus another two at 15mm. When leaving the clinic my FS said to take another dose of gonal-f and come back tomorrow to check to see how big they got and that we would do the iui on Wednesday. Well, after getting home, taking my gonal-f and going out to shovel snow (lol) I get a call saying that I am SURGING!!! I haven't ovulated on my own, or even come close to it in years...

My husband and I aren’t exactly strangers when it comes to relationship challenges 💞. We have been together for 14 years and married for eight, so we’ve definitely gone through some growing pains as we navigated a long-distance relationship in college and our first year living together as a married 👫 couple.
But nothing has challenged our relationship quite like our first year as 👪 parents .
Before you have your first child, you have these grand ideas of what it will be like. There’s more slee...

“You look too young to be a mom!”
Or how about …
“You have a BABY? No! You look like a baby yourself!”👶
Oh wait, here’s a good one …
“Are you the nanny, ooor … ?”
“No, yeah I’m his mom,” I’d reply. “Yes, I am young,” I’d agree.
Considering I got pregnant straight out of college, I was certainly on the younger end of the parenting spectrum. (No one was more surprised than me, I assure you.) And yet, I wasn’t exactly a teen mom. I wasn’t juggling school courses and motherhood, like so many s...
