My wife and I have started prepping freezer crock pot meals quite regularly now that she is back at work and we have two kids.

I am so happy that my girl is going to be in Kindergarten this fall. One less daycare/preschool expense! Kindergarten won’t be free by any means, but it better not be anywhere near as expensive as preschool.

When my second child was born, he was a handful for the first year, horrible sleep schedule mostly. My wife and I transitioned from casual drinkers to drinkers for most of that year. At the end of the day that beer or glass of wine was so nice.

Wow, a little judgmental there.

Just two weeks ago I was looking at these. Our old chain driven opener had the gear on the drive shaft sheer off.

Isn’t it a bit odd that in the geography analysis the omitted Washington state? Both Amazon and Microsoft are in the area and would likely sway the statistics significantly.

A few years ago we had our kitchen redone for around $9k. It was all custom cabinets and a new layout. We kept the old appliances but did a lot of the work ourselves including, taking out the old cabinets, moving the electrical sockets as needed, plumbing for the dishwasher, and tiling the wall.

I know the feeling, I could kill it in the sit up test, the pull up test, do ok on the mile run, but be barely able to reach past my knees in the sit and stretch test. I always felt using these four items to gauge physical ability was a bit odd, especially now that we know how bad sit-ups are for your back.

Backpacking through Patagonia is without a doubt the highest on my bucket list.

A few years ago I switched to using Grape Seed oil for most applications. A lot of times I don’t enjoy the flavor that EV Olive Oil adds to dishes and reserve that for salads now.

Victorinox Swiss Army knives have a lifetime warranty. I found an old one years ago that was in rough shape, including rust. Sent it in and they sent me back a brand new knife.

My options are to bus to work, takes 45 minutes from my front door to sitting at my desk, or I can bike which takes 30-40 (13 km - 15 km) minutes (depending on the route) + change time. The economics of biking are in my favor, and I have a much more enjoyable day and better sleep at night when biking. In fact I have…

This is what I do as well. My dad has done it this way as long as I can remember, and once I finally had my own house I quickly discovered it was the best method I had seen

I use the same method for my 100 ft garden hose. It is wonderful to be able to pull the hose to the back of the yard without getting a single kink in it!

I agree with this SO much.

My wife makes kale pesto regularly. Kale Pesto on bug shaped noodles is a guaranteed meal for the 4 year old and the 1 year old!

I have been considering using a rain barrel for collection, however my concern is that the rain patterns where I live have a lot of rain in the fall/winter/spring, but when I really need to be watering the veggies and other plants, there is no measureable rainfall for months.

Yeah, I knew it was out of stock. Though I am chocked they were selling it for $179 and I missed out.

I am saving money for one this very moment. After spending way too many hours researching the best small form factor pc for a media PC, the HP Stream Mini finally became available in Canada!

No passcode on my phone. A lot of it is laziness, but there is one explicit reason as well.
