FWIW, I only ever posted links to things I had written that I thought other moms on this forum would enjoy. It was only ever intended to be helpful, inform or amuse. It was never intended as "clickbait." It won't happen again.

Wow I had no idea it was being perceived this way.

I think I would do more harm than good if I had controls. We would jerk along the road like crazy people. My dd drove in the dark out on a country road for the first time last night to go to float building . I thought I would be more anxious but I have a cold so that kept me preoccupied. Lol

I know my topic title sounds serious but it's not. :) I just wrote "Grasping 5 Biblical Truths While Gripping the Dashboard" over on my blog. Have a look and tell me what you think. Annika

Idk I loved Jeremy Northam as Mr. Knightley (he gives great side-eye) but you have to put up with Gwyneth Paltrow as Emma unfortunately...

Watched season 1 with my daughter and we can't wait for next Sunday and the 2 hour season 2 premiere! We love the "angry Ross Poldark walk".

I agree with the outsourcing idea. I did that about 3 years ago and it has made a big difference in our day. Check this out and see what you think.

Glad I could help! Like I said, I have read the whole series so if you want to talk about it at all let me. Overall I enjoyed the series but I do have some eyeroll moments that I would be happy to discuss. Isn't Suzanna the best?

Good Morning everyone, I just created a new post listing and reviewing some good mysteries to read in the fall. I hope it provides you with some new books to try out for your recreational reading. :)

Update: Just wanted to say thank you to everyone who gave me some suggestions. I couldn't include all of them but I am pretty happy with what I chose. I will be posting Perfect Mystery Books for Fall tomorrow morning so have a look over your morning coffee or tea. Thanks!

Does she have sensitivity with it? Either hot or cold? If it is high enough up and causing her discomfort she may need to see a periodontist. Your dentist will be able to refer you if needed. Maybe her mouth is just growing though?

Yes my mom and I have a good relationship so we keep the humor up as much as we can given the circumstances. Her texts are always blunt and to the point because she texts using a number pad not a keyboard (her choice). FWIW, I also forgot to mention that she doesn't want any old melon. It has to be local and from a farmers market/stand so she isn't getting her melon until Wednesday. :)

Yes it really can be draining especially since I am the only child who lives in the same area as she does. I sent my college-aged son the text for a laugh and he texted back "Same." Haha

My mom is pretty much homebound so I take care of her shopping needs. This is the text she just sent me: "I need some more drugs and a melon" Well okay then...

Here is a recipe for easy pretzel bites for any of you having football parties this weekend. The ones you see on my blog are made from wheat pizza dough because of my husband. If I had chosen the dough it absolutely would have been a white dough! :)
