Being that sage green is such a popular color for weddings I thought for sure I’d be able to find but nope! Couldn’t find anything even close, I saw oracal 631 color Celedon that looks close enough but unfortunately it’s not available as permanent vinyl (651), also saw online the Cricut honeydew and eucalyptus could work but since the price is so much more than I usually pay in bulk for 651 oracal, this option would eat up some of my profit, any ideas appreciated!

I know the width and height is fine but I’m trying to determine if the 80” length would fit? Thanks

Does anyone have any ideas of what is happening here?

I’m so upset 😭

Looking to buy the prescription lenses for my son, I’m debating whether to buy from Zenni because I read some good reviews on it or the Honsvr because it has the magnetic design. Please let me know your opinion!

The shipping hasn’t been updated at all but I received the item and can’t review it, should I open a ticket for that or it should I wait a day or so?

I keep seeing Lauren Magers on Instagram and she honestly seems to have everything together. Like a lot of parenting “gurus” online, she’s selling courses, memberships, coaching, subscriptions, etc. and her programs are definitely not cheap. She’s also clearly a very good marketer.

What I find interesting and quite strange is that I’ve been trying to research her more before spending any money, looking for reviews, discussions, Reddit threads, YouTube breakdowns, honest experiences from parents who actually joined her programs… and I can’t find anything at all other than her posted testimonials, funnels advertising.. That seems unusual to me considering how large her following appears to be and how heavily marketed the programs are. (Lauren Magers)

Has anyone here actually tried any of her programs/memberships/coaching or the “masterclass” ? Did it genuinely help your family or was it mostly repackaged parenting advice with good branding?

I’m not trying to hate on her at all , I’m genuinely curious because the content is appealing, but the lack of outside discussion or independent reviews makes me hesitant and I can’t be the only one. Would love honest feedback from anyone with firsthand experience.

I need honest opinions because this situation feels really wrong to me.
My daughter is 20 who is gifted but also have autism so emotionally she’s very sensitive. She just finished her first semester away at college, which completely fell apart. We supported her financially, she started off okay for a few weeks, then her executive dysfunction (ADHD + autism) took over, she stopped doing work, avoided everything, and ended up failing all her classes. She applied for a hardship withdrawal with a doctor’s note due to anxiety/depression.
About 2 months ago she met a guy through a college club that was open to non-students. She told us about him but never mentioned any details and when we asked she said “I don’t know” she has no prior relationship experience.
She agreed to come home and follow some basic structure so she could get back on track. I picked her up, moved all her stuff home, and we sat down to go over expectations (simple things like waking up at a normal time, having a daily plan, limiting devices at night so she’s not in bed all day).

The moment she heard “bedtime without devices,” she immediately refused. Wouldn’t compromise, said she’s an adult and won’t be treated like a child.

Within that same conversation, she said she was going to move in with her boyfriend instead. We have life 360 so I was able to get his address and she told me his last name so that night I looked him up and found out he’s 37.
So now my 20-year-old autistic daughter, who is currently struggling mentally, just failed college, and can’t manage basic daily structure, has decided to move in with a 37-year-old grown ass man she met 2 months ago.
I can’t shake how wrong this feels. Why is a 37 year old hanging around college clubs with teens and young adults? And why is he ready to have her move in so quickly?
I tried reasoning with her talking about predatory situations and asking her to stay for a while and get to know him for a little longer before deciding to jump in that direction but she’s set in it.
He’s supposed to come this weekend to get her and her stuff back to his place (2 hours away) I’m not even sure how to look at this guy in the face. I feel like I need to stop this somehow but her being an adult I’m not sure how. I did talked to her last night and asked her to if she goes to trust me and tell if anything doesn’t feel right, she has a home and we live her.
Am I overreacting, or is this a major red flag situation?

We’re going to NYC for the first time at the end of July and I’d LOVE to take the family to a Broadway show… but I’m trying to keep it around $30-$40 per person (there are 7 of us). I know that’s not very realistic so off-broadway is the way to go?
From what I’m seeing, it looks like:
lotteries, rush tickets, maybe standing room but I’m not sure how doable that is with a group our size. We’ve got kids between (12–20), so something fun/engaging would be ideal. Would love shows that are easier to get cheap tickets for or Off-Broadway options that are actually worth it
Realistic strategies for getting 5–7 seats together (or close enough)
Totally fine being flexible on what we see, just want a great experience without spending so much $$$$ since we’re doing so many other costly activities. appreciate tips and suggestions!
