  1. This was our first year doing Samaritan's purse and the kids really enjoyed picking out the items for the shoeboxes.
  2. I shouldn't feel envy, but I want a hot water dispenser! I keep hoping we'll FINALLY get to renovate the kitchen, but it looks like major changes are going to have to wait another few years. Also, I'd love a tankless water heater. Now that my dc are taking showers, the hot water disappears quickly.
  3. I've made pancakes with butter and vegetable oil. The "healthiest" route is a schmear of vegetable oil on a nonstick surface or seasoned cast iron. Just a bit will fry the pancakes crisp, but the edges can be a bit greasy, without the delicious taste of butter to compensate. So, I'll follow the pp recommendations: Butter.
  4. United 93 is a wonderful movie, but it might be a little intense for his age level. Here are a few suggestions: Lean on Me Stand and Deliver October Sky - Great book and wonderful movie plus it's about rockets!
  5. I bought a French press, usually used for coffee. I don't have to worry about straining out tea leaves and I heat my water using a metal tea pot I purchased at Target. My last teapot lasted me six years until dh left too many pots of water in it and the bottom rusted out. I'd recommend going for a good metal teapot, not too expensive, with the understanding it will need to be replaced every few years.
  6. I left something in Mexico once and the hotel couldn't send it to me. The excuse was the difficulty in shipping internationally things of uncertain value. It was flimsy, but no amount of arguing would change the answer. I think it's awful your friend won't take the time to get the ring. She's right there! So sorry!
