How many kids did ya say you have? Gotcha covered:
-
Anything by Gyo Fujikawa -- big in the 60's and 70's. Very few parents seem to have them now. Awesome books.
Can't go wrong with Scarry or Seuss.

I say you buy a big basket of apples and cover them with caramel sauce and tell them that is your interpretation of apple sauce.
Deconstructed. Very avant....

8, school gig, why not. 8, professional audition, reconsider. Situation-dependent.
-
If it's so scary I don't know how you leave the house with the children at all.
Wow.
-
Bu..bu..but....that's just...CHEATING!
I agree, but if you had several of them clipped to a mountaineering harness, it would be impressive - just a pile of bags with feet.

If I'm alone I prefer the no-cart-one-armload-but-close-to-dropping-stuff grocery shopping method.
That's why they invented this and took all the fun out of the one-trip:

HSDad, your mention of Eckhart Tolle made me remember that another place to get a little bit of a mindfulness fix is "Sounds True" ... they release a free weekly newsletter w/audio. Additionally, many of the Sounds True materials are available in my Library system. :)
10Q. Googling now. :thumbup1:

Cork might be interesting, and some manufacturers claim water resistance. Would be nice underfoot.
Tile or sheet vinyl would be the most water resistant. Nothing that has seams or grout lines is waterproof forever.

One very small thing: I love the radio program "On Being"
www.onbeing.org
You can listen to many archived shows on any number of topics directly from the website or free on iTunes, if that's more convenient for you.
Two thumbs up for On Being; some TED talks are good too.
It sounds like the OP is talking about mindfullness, which can be pursued many ways. Eckhart Tolle has it about right to me, although I can't listen to him speak without dozing off - not from content, but delivery.

Get two copies and tag team reading aloud, and get "Great Books for Girls" for some great titles that might start her off.

Our washer plays a happy little song on srartup, just to be sure the experience is as Disney as possible in tne unfinished basememt.
Marketing guys.....

I'm happy to give my DH away with no exchange in return. You know the phrase "when this dog dies we ain't gettin another" Well........ Lol
Load him up. I'm building a village, and it's gonna be sqalid, er...splendid.

Do you buy it at Aldi?
You jest. Scratch.
-
you have peasants? Pft, I have minions
Not yet. I think they're still on the truck, but I haven't seen a tracking number.
-
Just be sure to eat it straight out of fridge. :)
Can't. I'd have no room for cookie dough.
-
Could "other" include sock drawer?
-
Did you know you can make your can frosting double the volume and go farther by putting it in a mixing bowl and mixing it on high with a wisk attachment?
Add confec sugar to it while wisking and it will hold it's shape through a pastry bag and fancy tip of your choosing. Bakery look on the cheap.
-
You're supposed to refrigerate eggs!?
Of course! Chicken butts are cold, just like dog noses.
-
Yours was like this fourteen years ago, right? I refuse to think fourteen years into my future...denial, denial, denial!
DD has been mostly easy for most of her almost 13 years. I keep waiting for the horror I'm told will come, but I have my doubts. There are easy kids. Must go hide now.

You didn't say whether the cupcakes are scratch or mix. Slacker.
-
It is the story about the lady who had 3 kids in the car and 1 was taken while she walked away to put the cart in the corral. I know it is a one in a bazillion incident. I know I am insane for worrying about it.
Not insane; I did the same. Semi public places, kid not out of sight; really public places, kid not out of reach.

One homeschool mom up for grabs. She doesn't eat much, likes to clean and wash dishes, but will not cook and will not speak to your children-- only smile at them and walk by. Rakes leaves, sleeps through the night (if you'll let her), will read your books and give you detailed notes or summaries, edit anything you give her (former attorney) and can play the piano for your evening entertainment. Any takers?
;)
Sure, but you'll have to bunk in the garage with the dad and teenage boy I just ordered. My very own peasants!

Depends on what you drive. Tour bus? Go for it. Hatchback? Yer nuts.

I always carry duct tape in the van.
And WD-40, for squeaky wheels.
