A program that worked well for my kids was I See Sam readers www.iseesam.com or www.beginningreadinginstruction.com

Great report. Yea this is a marathon. I would encourage you to refill her meds as soon as possible each month so that over time you can build up a 1-2 week reserve of meds in case there is a supply issue. And I would talk with the counselor about explaining OCD to her and working through the necessity of the meds but also how awesome she is. I am all for kids knowing their diagnosis, meds , etc at an age appropriate level.

We did our Italy trip and it was amazing. Cinque Terre did not disappoint

I am a white correlle dishes person myself but I fell in love with this pasta bowl.

YES. That is the right bowl. My friends had different patterns for their dishes and all are on that site. Thanks. Now to figure out if it is worth shipping to US or have it shipped to Italy and have my friend's daughter bring it home to the states with her in a few weeks.

agreed

Never regretted any of the 5 times I did tonsils and adenoids with kids. The big key for healing is to stay AHEAD of the pain...meaning giving pain meds round the clock for the first 3-4 days.....setting alarms at night too. And fluids. Any and all fluids. Eating or not is not a big deal, but the more fluids they get in them the faster they heal.

I tried a Google lens and just got pasta recipes, etc. I don’t want boring. maybe I need to make a second trip to Italy to buy it.

I would love a bowl like this. It was at a restaurant in Cinque Terre Italy. Any ideas on how to find one like this?

I was going to suggest glass jars or just a larger plastic container and scoop out the needed amount ….unless a quick stir isn’t enough to keep it well mixed.

I am NOT a designer or decorator at all but I love a soft sage as I find it so calming.

When I get to my computer I will

For me it is the expense.

I am becoming my grandmother with a tea bag on a saucer in the kitchen. Second seeping does take longer.

I tried to add more pictures but it wouldn’t let me. our once in a lifetime trip to cinque Terre became a twice in 24 hours trip when my friend left her passport behind. That meant her and I had to navigate the train system from Torino back down there stay another night and connect with our host to get the passport and then two trains back north and a bus. Made for great adventures though.
