Also, I think there are a lot of people who mean "twenty somethings" when they use the term millennial, not realizing most millennials are 30s and even early 40s.

I recently saw a clip where a mid 20s mom of a toddler spent nearly $500 at a bulk/club store to stock up on "drinks for the month". Water, juice, soda etc. There were years we were married with kids and didn't spend $500 a month on actual groceries. And my kids are not even in high school yet so I don't mean the 80s.
We do buy some fun items, higher quality items, fair trade, organic, fill in the blank items. But we have also cut soda from the budget, and I know how to go scorched earth if necessary.

Sharp cheddar. For more than you think it "needs".

Even my pickiest eaters will eat olives, soy sauce and sauerkraut. Most of my kids hate: applesauce, pudding, green/yellow beans, mushrooms, onions.
Mine don't have a ton of exposure to kraut because DH and I aren't into it. They wouldn't pick pudding as dessert but wouldn't turn it down. One says he hates mushrooms but doesn't pick them off his pizza so...🤷🏻♀️ Otherwise, no issues with the other foods you mentioned.
The little one has always had an aversion to bell peppers in any form. He says they make him feel weird, not that he dislikes them. I suppose it could be a mild allergy but he has never had a physical response we know of. We just usually leave them off his food or warb him they are mixed into something.

One kid has always disliked mac and cheese. He also avoids coleslaw and Brussels sprouts. He eats virtually everything else.
Other kid is a typical kid IMO. Started out mildly picky and has branched out as he has grown up.
They both have always loved lemons, pickles, garlic, sardines, and other foods that commonly make kids gag.

I always give Sandra Boynton's Going to Bed book.

Does watching an amazing documentary count? I read the whole book about Shackleton’s trip to attempt to cross the Antarctic, but the 1.5 hour documentary is excellent, with the focus on Captain Worsley and his navigational skills. It’s called Shackleton’s Captain. It’s the most amazing survival story ever. I watched it last night in bed. Great documentary full of amazing facts!
His story is phenomenal in every format. Endurance was a great read.

Congrats on finishing 100EL! Mine are both natural spellers, as well. We did RS Spelling 2 for the first year, then just made lists from errors in other daily work.
My 7yo has finished nearly everything but RS English and CLE math. He is starting early chapter books. He still loves cursive.

I would calculate it per room. The couples are not getting any added value that necessitates a double rate for their sleeping quarters.

I am too new to be known but I think I could pick out Lori or 8filltheheart by their posts.

Following. We have only used it for elementary art classes but are closing in on HS and plan to use Flex again.

Beef is one of the most common dog allergies, so could still be worth trying a protein switch.
Thanks. I may try lamb next.

Has she had a fecal done recently? If not, take a sample in for analysis.
Not that I can see. We'll bring that up Fri.

For chronic ear infections we switched to using a product I found online that has witch hazel, boric acid, and gentian violet. She doesn't get infections very often now, and this stuff takes care of it when it does. I'll link later when I get home and can look it up.
Thank you!

Tangentially related- I have suggested to my child who loves animals but would never want to deal with the hard parts of veterinary medicine that he could consider work in developing pet foods.

According to the records, her ear infections were yeast. We had a lab years ago who had the same issue.
She has been on beef since January from what I am told. About 1/4 of her stools have been thin since we got her Saturday. There is not a pattern to that, such as only after food etc.
@gardenmom5 she is 17 months old

We just took in a 17m flat coat labradoodle. She is adjusting well and we like her a lot. I got her vet records so we could share with our new vet and it looks like she has always had loose stool and ear infections. I am reading these (and joint issues) are breed-specific. I feel like we can stay on top of the ear issue.
My questions are, what diet do you recommend we try and what else should I be aware of with this breed?
Her former owner tried 3 dog foods and we have her on a 4th, the one she was eating while being fostered. I am open to suggestions and trying a number of things but my budget is not endless, if course.

I am tired of piecing together language arts elements with multiple ages to teach. I have been looking into Rod and Staff and Christian Light. Which one would be better to use if I want something that is an all-in-one language arts that is open and go? And if you know off hand, what grades are they for? I will have 1st graders all the way up to a 10th grader. I would prefer to find something that I can stick with for all the grades.
You want CLE then. I LOVE and use Rod and Staff English but it only covers grammar and basic composition. CLE will do it all.

Somewhere along the way, I learned the "proper Southern lady" refuses tea/coffee/etc twice but it is fine to accept on the third offer. Then I realized that NO ONE I KNOW ASKS 3 TIMES and the few women I asked about said they'd never heard such. LoL

I have typically been able to figure things out. The older I get, the less invested I am in many types of things. Stuff I would have pushed through to learn once upon a time is now often hired out, done "good enough", or dropped altogether. By this I mean things that are not necessary for survival, income, or sanity. Could I figure out how to use the 5 different programs that the org I volunteer for proposes we check in with/follow? Yes, but for the small investment of time I have, I choose to stick to only the absolutely necessary one.

I wonder if she is possibly there while waiting for space at an appropriate facility.
