I carried the engagement ring in my pocket while we were on some 1000 ft high zip lines in Costa Rica. I wanted to do it there in the trees but ended up waiting until we were at the base of Arenal volcano. Thank jeebus for zippered pockets!

We just celebrated our 5th anniversary.
True story: About 10 years ago, before I got married, my then-girlfriend and I went on a canoe trip around Assateague Island off the Maryland eastern shore. I was living in Silicon Valley and she was living in DC. We had known each other for 10 years but were rekindling a long distance thing.
My MATTRESS. I spend lot of time there (would love to spend more). It’s an organic latex from Savvy Rest. It was pricey but will probably last as long as I do and you can replace the cover if it wears out. Or individual layers per side. Plus (and maybe the most valuable), you don’t have to deal with slimy sales people…
We have a parenting mantra at home: toddlers be crazy. Seriously, even reading the Weissbluth book will only get you so far. Sometimes kids just want to stay awake and babble and wake up early. Ours is very hit or miss.
The one thing that we saw that seemed to (sometimes) work was that more good rest results in longer…
I wish someone would write the cliffs notes for that book. While strong on content, it’s about as weak as they come for readibility. $5 into the pot for Weissbluth to hire an editor!
The one that started it all for me too. It works miracles on leftover pizza.

No BPA I will give you, but I don’t think I’ll ever trust any plastic above room temperature when it comes to food prep... which causes me some cognitive dissonance when I use my nonstick pan.
mmmm plastic flavor and BPA manboobs.
it works on mobile too. luckily I have a new mx master and freewheel scroll on the desktop. maybe I need to update or restart chrome.
The little three line menu requires me to scroll up to the top of the page to view another blog (e.g. Gizmodo). It used to hover just off-screen so I could scroll a few lines to see it. Can you make it come back to somewhere more useful?
There are PLENTY of places to find your pointless crushes as an adult. I am forty. There are supermarkets where you may see the same checkers or product hawkers on occasion, daycares where your dropoff and pickup schedules may coincide with crushable parents plus the occasional birthday party for deeper social…
I just went to the page linked above and saw the same concierge station names. I prefer songzNOADS.
My Revolution has held out until I could eliminate the biggest downside of the available Master. I got work to pay for it. It’s a worthy successor for the auto-scroll alone. The shape difference took a few weeks to get used to because its dome hits my palm in a different place, but now I’m used to it.
Determined that our current rent was not drastically different than paying a mortgage with 3% down (FHA) and getting a big fat tax break on the interest. Plus there were first time homebuyer credits available and since we bought when we were unmarried, the lower of our two salaries qualified for the full credit.
I turned 40 this year too. I did not get old.
I took a couple bottles of Repel to Thailand and Bali and it was fan-friggin-tastic. Not only does it NOT say “do not use more thantwo days in a row” and there is no “will melt some plastics” warning, but it smells kind of nice. I found that as long as you apply it well and maintain that application, it is very…
Y ou’re insane with yoru $25 or $12 scrubber. Get a wok scrubbing whisk and roll old school style—if you even need to scrub your sad excused for seasoned cast iron. Two rules: no acidic foods (get that tomato sauce OUT) and deglaze!

When my 2-1/2 year old toddler falls, he says “OW” and I ask him if it hurt. He either says it hurt and he gets up or he says he is OK. Occasionally he requests a kiss or a band aid or ice depending on his mood. 9 times out of 10, he shakes it off and goes back to what he was doing.
