Have you looked into skiing in Europe! Put alerts for flights! It is far more affordable!!! For example, Ski School in Zermatt for a full week 9-3:30 with lunch included is $589! 2 weeks of rentals for both my kids was $270! I forgot to include that kids life tickets are FREE until they’re 9!!!!! And after that it’s 1/2 price… Which is still waaaaaaay cheaper than in the states. Many European destinations are part of the epic or icon pass if you already have one!

I feel this way too sometimes… but then I remember, ppl love a good rec… especially one they can try without buying! Win-win! I have a fav pancake mix from a restaurant in Aspen, and when I order, I always throw in an extra bag bc I’ve gifted it several times!!! Diva detergent from Amazon is always fun! Pretty candlesticks with tapers! My fav mascara is always a hit! Your fav cocktail mixings with a bottle of liquor wrapped up cute! Just something you know you really like that ppl wouldn’t necessarily buy themselves!

I (try to) have my kids take off their sports clothes right after we get home and take them straight to the laundry room so they get washed in the next load since they’re right in front of me… then I keep them high on the top shelf in their closet so they don’t get mixed back in and we have to go hunting for it!

I am a former kindergarten teacher and I think if the teachers are not recommending retention, then you should do some tutoring over the summer and send her to 1st grade. Chat me for more info!

Sadly, this is just how things are… I shop for people and it’s gotten pretty insane. My best tip is: don’t sleep on Dillards! They got a new buyer and things are looking up! Still pricier than I might like, but there are always great fun finds and good staples. Also their shoe department is pretty bomb… use your filters if shopping online.
