  • Ahhhh! What a nightmare. I hope it isn’t that long and you all stay warm and fed

  • What's the most interesting or unbelievable thing you've seen with your own eyes?

  • I have seen something in the sky (that I thought was a satellite) turn 90 degrees and go on in that direction.

  • At least for me if I pull the generator out it proves that we needed it and I didn’t buy it unnecessarily. One day I will be thankful for the thing…. I hope.

  • That poem is beautiful and I am not ready to think about it too deeply.

    I lost my parents while I was pregnant with my child and so it was an overwhelming amount of life going and coming. Oddly enough, today I was looking at photos of my father with his mom and counting what age he lost her at. 11. I can’t imagine that happening to my kid, or my father.

    I think the world has me thinking about death a lot, but it is a lot to process and I guess it has to happen eventually. What a tough world we live in.

  • I realized this week that my furnace can unplug and so I bought a generator to power it and some gas. I did about a nights of panic searching the best way to heat a house if the power goes out.

    There were some mini propane units that can be used indoors with the window cracked. I almost got that. It’s about 150 dollars. It was called big* buddy.

    If you happen to have a gas furnace you can look into changing the switch on it to a switch and an outlet, some owner did it before me, I am guessing for this reason.

    I too envy the wood burning stove. I would order so much wood and just stock it for emergencies. What a wild world we live in.

  • We had a genuinely great day. I have always wanted to check out this one park that has a firepit and I brought firewood and we made a fire. We played by a creek and our dog was able to run around because no one was there.

    Then we went bowling and it was the kiddos first time. I feel like I haven’t had a day like this where things just work out well in…maybe ever?

  • And New years eve where I am. As a resolution I think I am going to try to do the thousand hours outside goal. I am not sure it’s reasonable, we live someplace it gets cold and hot.

    My kid likes it outside more than I do and I usually am the one saying it’s time to go in, so it’s more for me. This whole thing might fall apart the second I get bit by too many mosquitoes.

  • Yeah. It’s really hard to reframe it as a positive thing for me, and that it is okay to do. But also it is really nice sometimes, especially if I go put a show on for me and clean the kitchen.

  • I am really excited for Christmas because it’s the first year my kid is really starting to understand it. I’m so excited for him to see all the gifts.

    We have been watching a bit too much tv. Lately he has wanted to watch The Wild Robot nonstop. I love that he loves movies so deeply, but also I feel guilty for not interacting with him for hours.

  • It usually comes with one make your own card so if you do get it for Christmas open it up and put the song on the card. The app and website are also really easy to figure out. It really is so much better than the tonies for anyone willing to do a little bit of work.

  • When I taught the kids I nannied I didn’t take the wheels off but bent them up on the sides so the wheel was the lowest part and the training wheels a bit above. Then kept bending it more and more until they got it.

  • We have one and I love it. You can buy make your own cards and it comes out to about three dollars a card. You can put any mp3 audio on them and if you have a friend with playlists that they made they can share them with you and you can put them on a card. I’ll share any playlists I have made with you.

    It also has a daily podcast and a kid friendly radio. The radio has a daytime setting and a nighttime one, it automatically adjusts.

    It’s just been so fun for me because it feels a little like making mixtapes and I pull a bunch of audio off of youtube using youtube to mp3 and making cards out of things he loves but not enough to spend 20 dollars on.

    Also it makes it easy for other people to buy gifts for the kids that don’t take up a lot of space.

    Also it has a headphone jack so that was good for airplane travel.

    Overall, one of the best toys he owns.

  • One of my best friends visited for over 10 days and when we had to take her to the airport my kid was like “I don’t want you to leave. Take me with you.” And then made the sweetest little pouty face. It was a bittersweet moment.

  • What is something you can see, hear, smell, etc., that others can't?

  • I know what you mean. Super odd smell.

  • We actually had a really nice four day weekend. We cooked, we fixed up the house, we played, we got a tree, it snowed. There was no fighting and it was just a nice four days. That’s a lot of days in a row for it to be peaceful.
