I don’t love hot dogs (bad experience as a kid) but maybe some nice brats would do the trick. I think my toddlers would even eat this, they certainly love all the ingredients. I also think some pickle slices on top as a nice garnish would seal the deal.

20,000 steps a day is easy for most? I run a couple miles 5 days a week, go for a mile walk once a day during the workday, go for a couple other smaller walks, and run around after a toddler and a preschool each morning and evening. Even with all that, I’ve only hit 20,000 steps/day 11 times in the last 2 years. I’d…

There are challenges you can do to get a Mew Encounter and smaller challenges to win items and encounters with other pokemon. Weekly you can get an enounter with a legendary (although in July it’s Snorlax) instead. And now you can have friends and trade and give gifts. I’ve never stopped playing semi-casually and I…

I don’t know, it probably came from daycare and there are bigger kids there because my daycare does before and after school care for the local elementaries. It may also be something from some pop song. I know they listen to Taylor Swift and the like when it’s dance time. She also just learned to say “booty butt crack”…

My oldest is 3.5 right now. After we watched that John Oliver, we started teaching her what country she lives in and what language she speaks. (She already knew city and state and her full name.) But she’ll still dissolve laughing while she repeats “booty butt, booty butt” and twerks for you. And she was scared to…

Yep, these are our favorites. Everything else is too expensive or too scratchy.

Just found them on the bed bath and beyond website to post the same thing. Reasonably priced (especially with a BBB coupon) and they feel so soft from the get-go. They aren’t the strongest sheets in the world and we’ve got some fraying along the elastic but the price and the softness make them our favorites.

1) Don’t buy a house with someone you aren’t married to. One of you can buy and the other one can pay rent. Or you can get married.

sounds like I need to host a potluck brunch. But I got rid of all my Medela breastmilk storage bottles. We’ll just find another way to muddle through. 

Per CBS News in 2016: “For example, Disabled American Veterans Charitable Service Trust spends 96 percent of its budget on vets. Fisher House devotes 91 percent. But according to public records reported by “Charity Navigator,” the Wounded Warrior Project spends 60 percent on vets.Jan 26, 2016" 60% isn’t great, but…

Does this site also vet the charities? I feel like I really need to research a charity before I donate money. How much do they spend on overhead? Do they turn around and donate my donation to another charity. Do they hire professional fundraisers or use volunteers? 

I work out in the morning because it's the only time that it fits in my life. I can take a 5am class and be back before the kids and husband are awake. I leave everything out in the morning and grab a couple bites of a bar.

I had no idea he’s a methodist. Maybe the UMC in Alabama is different from the Ohio one, I always thought our church was the most liberal in town. I mean, my gay cousin’s kid was baptized there and his husband is the star of the choir.

Nope, there are 88 in Ohio. Just no shot but I could probably name 10 of them still. I can probably name about the same number in California. Did you know that San Francisco city and county have the exact same border? 

I love savings catcher.

I didn’t even realize they had Before Midnight. Better go watch it and Through the Looking Glass this week. Before Sunrise was one of my favorites back in the day, practically wore out my VHS copy.

Jumped to take advantage of this over the weekend, both kids needed to swimsuits and lessons start next week. But it’s annoying that all the boys swimsuits are sold separately but the girls tankinis are sold as one item so if I got each of them one outfit it would be three separate sales and wouldn’t count right for…

That’s why I bring my kids. They’ve been to the Science March, the Women’s March, and the March for Our Lives. They will always see activism in person. (They are also 1 and 3 and started at about 6 months.) We talk the older one into going by saying it’s just a big party in the street.

I loved Friendly’s so much I got my first job there when I was 16. Three weeks later they abruptly closed all the stores in the greater Cincinnati area (but not Dayton). So I was out of a job but I could still eat at one that was about 15 minutes farther away. Ended up waitressing at Steak ‘n Shake instead.

Bob Evans is still around as far as I know. My mom’s church group meets there monthly.
