For kitchen stuff - If it’s not dishwasher safe I don’t get it or don’t keep it (if it was given to me).

We have a robot vacuum and litter box. I am grateful for them every day.

Getting myself and my kid out the door in the morning feels like climbing Everest every day. One thing she almost always forgot was to put socks on when she got dressed, so she’d have to go back upstairs. Since she’s also neurodivergent there was a good chance she’d get distracted upstairs and 1. forget to get her socks, 2. lose track of time or 3. both. I put a bin by our shoes and now her clean socks go in there.

It’s most likely a boomer ball

Congrats! That’s not something to be embarrassed about, thanks for sharing it with us

Why do I feel like they complained when people didn’t “speak American” in the States

“Can you make it drip a little faster? They keep turning the water off when I want a drink”

tl;dr Have healthy snacks and don’t eat after 9 pm

He certainly thinks he does, but half the time he forgets he controls his tail

I love how they’ve arranged themselves in cat, void, cat, void order

We still pay allowance in cash for our preteen. It gets divided into save, give and spend. If there’s something she wants purchased online, she pays us the cash and we order it with our card. If the purchase is going to take most/all of her current spending money we do point that out but don’t prevent her from spending it.

I’m not sure yet what we’ll do when she gets closer to driving age. Most likely get a debit card so she can get that experience before going out on her own after graduation. But for now we want to build a more solid connection of physically parting with the money when it’s spent.

For one week. And they can only be bought online.

sleepy floof, love it

It depends how much tossing and turning I’m doing. If I can find a comfortable spot and I’m not moving around too much, he’s the little spoon. And glares at me until I tuck him in.

If I’m moving around a lot trying to get comfortable, he’ll go sleep at my feet.

Baked potatoes, mashed potatoes, pasta, yogurt, steamed veggies, lots of rice dishes, pulled pork, chicken, venison, Thanksgiving turkey breast when it’s just the 3 of us

It’s extremely helpful when I forget to thaw meat for dinner (which is more often than not)

There is a trick to the pasta, but it saves me from panic dashing into the kitchen when the pot boils over because I forgot to check it

I cook most of our meals in it. We even have 2 so I can cook the meat separately since I’m vegetarian

But wait! There’s more! (not really, I just know I sound like an infomercial)

Nor can I find where I wrote it down so I wouldn’t forget

While it may not put on much in the way of body fat, chickadees’ brains gain weight to remember where they hid all their food for winter. This may apply to tits as well since they’re related but I haven’t seen any studies for them specifically.

When my kid was a toddler we told her, “Why did the turkey crosse the road? Because the chicken was on vacation.”

She thought it was hilarious and would retell it with 2 random things she could see at the time: “Why did the couch cross the road? Because the floor was on vacation.”

No, it’s just a coincidence. They wanted to stare lovingly at you before they realized you have a sandwich

He just found it this way, honest
