Proper answer is a Barefoot Dreams robe or cardigan robe. The cardigan is juuuuusssst on the right side of “not a robe” to be used for a grocery store run. They are snug but not heavy, warm but not suffocating and wash up well with no pilling. Over time mine developed a tear in the shawl collar and I was able to…

As we retreat individually into our own watch/play/listen devices, our family spends less and less time in our living room-family room. We don’t have televisions (the electric hearth) in our home anymore. If we gather together we are cooking, eating, talking, walking, going out or playing a game. Sometimes, if it’s…

I’m more puzzled by the fact that Santa’s face is white but his dick is black. What the hell is that saying to our children?

Maybe a little chair or stool (not for sitting) to hold a flat basket for items like keys, masks, glasses, etc? A deeper basket below it for grocery bags and such.

They should also probably avoid Thai and Chinese restaurants and most bakeries, including pet bakeries. If I had a child with a severe nut allergy, I’d worry about cross-contamination at ANY restaurant. I’m sure it’s terrifying and damn inconvenient, but at least with a restaurant called PB&J, they can consciously…

I purchased a narrow armoire off Craigslist for our small foyer. $175. My husband installed a motion light and even a phone charger.

Another fun “fact” - buttermilk doesn’t spoil. It just gets more buttermilky. 

Indian food in Shoreditch, London.

Please quit calling women “bitches.” That word as an insult is done and should be retired.

When we didn’t have leftovers for packed lunches to be microwaved at work, I’d frequently pack my husband a lunch using those Indian food packets from Big Lots. I’d get two, relatively healthy, lunches out of a microwave packet of brown rice, microwave packet of dahl, and a microwave freezer serving of saag paneer.

You don’t have to have a law degree to be a Guardian ad Litem volunteer. I have an undergrad in pre-law and social work experience and I volunteer. Volunteers are the “feet on the ground” - collecting data and determining needs for individual children so as best to advocate for them. I provide reports to the Child…

Don’t buy things you don’t really like and probably won’t use in a reasonable time frame just because they are BOGO.

Have you tried pickled herring potato salad? Yum!

My recipe is a good basic starting point, but you can google other recipes for ways to tweak the shrimp more to your taste - the best family dishes come from riffs!

I made deviled eggs two nights ago to go alone with a Southern veggit plate and cornbread. We enjoyed them a whole lot more than if we had to cram them on a plate between the sweet potato casserole and the mac and cheese.

I think people ask because they want more Dolly in the world.

Our Granddaughter and only grandchild at 5 months. Her name is Pebble (family name). They live in Oz and we haven’t been able to see or hold her in person yet, but we adore her already!

Sure!

I am in LOVE with these ittala Ultima Thule highballs:
