I think cash is the way to go here, even if it is a small amount.

Good job; she is beautiful! Congratulations!

I had a hard time narrowing this one down. I have some kids with some pretty blue eyes, and for some reason I own a lot of blue stuff. Also the sky is a gorgeous blue today. Since coffee is especially important to me right now, here’s what I chose:

Can’t resist doing another one for today. This is the same kitty as the other pic - she’s just all grown up now.

Hi! It’s good to “see” you!

Window My squirrel friend

Yeah, I get it. We had our surprise baby in January, and our next youngest is 8. I’m 35, and I’ve had high blood pressure with 3 of my 4 (including full-blown eclampsia with my oldest.) My body told me loud and clear all through my last pregnancy: you are done. So, I got a tubal during my c section. And now I find myself very sad about that decision, even though it was clearly right for me. I figure, either I will become ok with it, or maybe adoption is in our future.

YAY! I’m so excited for you guys! I will keep you and that sweet baby in my prayers.

(Hugs)

I was wondering if maybe she had a new name, but I hadn’t noticed anyone posting who “sounds” like her, IFKWIM. Now I miss Moxie and creekland, too. I know there are lots of people missing, but I just can’t always remember their user names.

Just wondering if she’s ok?

I was just looking at this. I think DD8 is going to do a week long day camp at her studio, and that will be it. They offer weekly drop-in classes, but I don’t think she will do those this year.

I’m so sad about this.

Thanks for sharing. I cried looking at the sweet pictures, because I’m dorky like that. The other cows watching are so funny, though.

That’s so pretty, and the label is a very nice touch.

I’m so sorry. :hugs:

I’m not on my computer right now, but here is one: https://www.commonsensemedia.org/movie-reviews/show-dogs

My MIL texted me this morning, wanting to take my 3 bigger kids this afternoon. I’m glad I saw this article yesterday. I checked some other sources when I first saw the article, because I rarely find that I agree with these type of articles. I found several reviews that noticed the same thing. So I had to say no to my MIL, and I’m bummed, because now I won’t be getting a break this afternoon. There’s no way I want them to get the message that you just learn to live with someone touching you inappropriately, though.

In this particular situation, I’d absolutely believe my kid. And I would distance myself from this family. I’m not a fan of calling people trash.

No. I’m in Alabama.

We are just finishing our first year of dance. She’s 8, and is dancing one day a week for 2 hours. She takes ballet and jazz. She will be having her recital in 2 weeks. This is subject to change of course, but judging by her level of enthusiasm, I will be a dance mom for a long time.

My recipe is: 1 melted stick of butter mixed with 1C of peanut butter. Mix in a box of confectioners sugar. Add a tablespoon of vanilla. Mix well, roll into balls and chill. I dip mine in chocolate, but they are good without the chocolate, too. We have them at Christmas. ?

Atlanta is a really scary place to drive. I never drive when we go there, and I’m really not comfy as a passenger, either.
