  1. Herroom.com has a great range of sizes. Definitely make sure you are measuring correctly first. Most women don't know their correct size. If your bras dig in, they are not the correct size. Just remember that if you go down in band, you need to go up in cup. And vice versa. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  2. The tone makes me think it's just 1 person constantly posting. Sad that someone is wasting their time trying to troll this girl :-/ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  3. ASL and English are separate languages, so I don't see why you would need one to learn the other. ASL is NOT English words in signs. When you sign, you are signing concepts, not English words. So there is no correlation to English in the sense you are thinking. The 'H' hand shape is signing the same concept that the English letter 'H' stands for, it is not signing the English letter 'H'. If you are just using random signs and plan to drop and use English once she starts to talk, then I would just do what you are doing and not worry about it. If you want her to learn ASL you will need to learn the grammar and syntax of ASL and learn the correct facial and body expressions that each sign requires. That would be a study that is completely separate from learning English. I think it would be too difficult for a child to learn both at once. A good rule of thumb is if you can talk in English while signing, you aren't using ASL [emoji6] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  4. Currently watching switched at birth (I love ASL) Boston legal (bought complete season for husband for Christmas. Old favorite) and Big Bang theory (for reasons already mentioned). We also watch (weekly) the middle, modern family, and the goldbergs. Those are just fun shows that we like. Walking dead and blacklist are recently back I think too. Dark and dramatic. Been watching them since they started. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  5. Our son's birthday is the 11th and our anniversary is the 23rd, so we don't really do anything. My husband did make his famous browned butter chocolate chip cookies for us, plus he got roses for the girls and me, small boxes of chocolates for the older kids, and some raisins for our allergy-prone child.

  6. I also have a son who taught himself to read (at 4) who is at an advanced level. I have never pushed reading at all. I just give him access to lots of books on lots of different levels. I try to get him lots of kindle books from the library and we recently decided to be better about going to the library weekly. I let him pick out his own books. When he was younger (he's 11 now) I would make him read aloud a few times a week. I also read aloud regularly as part of school. Hard to say if all these things combined made him love reading, or he just happened to get my obsessed-with-books genes. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  7. Thanks for sharing [emoji17] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  8. Almost all of ours have been the shelter. Our current one (pictured) is from a local breeder. Be careful adopting an adult with children or any other pets in the house. I'm sure there are lots of good cases, but we happen to be one of those that had quite a harrowing experience. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  9. I am not a peanut fan, so I never ate peanuts with my first 2. I found a specific peanut recipe I liked and craved and ate it all through my pregnancy with my 3rd and while I was nursing her. She came into contact with a peanut butter lid containing no peanut butter at 6mo and got what looked like 3rd degree burns all over her face. Tested her and she has a severe allergy. We have to carry epi pens at all times. The other kids have no allergy. Didn't work for us! Lol No kids with excema or asthma. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  10. The main difference this year was finding Christmas theme places to go to like 'walking through Bethlehem', Christmas parades, etc. We really enjoyed finding these things and actually participating in them. Unfortunately, half of them were all in 1 week (2 weeks before Christmas) so it did get a little stressful that week. Overall we really enjoyed it though. We also didn't stress about watching all of our Christmas movies and just watched a few that we fit in here and there. I feel like this was a more laid back AND hands on Christmas. Another thing that was different is that the kids actually used their own money for gifts for everyone. It really gave them a sense of ownership and made them more excited.

  11. Dh fills mine and I fill his. Our oldest is only 10, so no one contributes to the stockings besides us. We get up, open stockings, eat breakfast, then open presents. His sisters fill their parents stocking. They (the sisters) still ask for a financial contribution each year for it from all the siblings (we aren't there when they open it). I always thought that was odd... My parents fill each other's stocking, which is probably why I think it's odd that the kids are the responsible ones in dh family. Esp when most of us are married with families of our own and some don't even live in the same state. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  12. WV. 60. Still muddy from past rain, a bit overcast today. 70 and sunny tomorrow. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  13. A year of kindle unlimited. I don't even really know all it includes, but I thought that was a unique idea. Esp since he has a hard time thinking of gifts for me that aren't on my wishlist. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  14. We give our 1yo 1-2 gifts (hand me downs are fine) and then let them help unwrap everyone's presents. They love the tearing and then playing with the boxes and paper afterwards. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  15. My son (10) and I have been enjoying Mark Kistler's books. I think his is called 'draw squad' and mine is something like 'learn to draw in 30 days'. Very step by step, incremental. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  16. I usually make a broccoli casserole and the dessert. He hates baking. But it's not surprising that he cooks for holidays because he cooks all of our meals anyways! This year he is making bourbon something ice cream too. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  17. I didn't do a year, but I did a couple months in the summer. There is a summer HP correspondence school on yahoo groups. There is probably more than enough to stretch it for a year. This blog has a bunch of the links. http://www.new2homeschooling.com/2012/04/welcome-to-hogwarts-correspondence.html?m=1 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  18. Is there any way he can become more skilled? Maybe his job is willing to pay for training or maybe he can get additional training or schooling in his limited off time? My husband works at a place that pays less than others, but they are willing to pay for a lot of continuing education because they get tax breaks on it. A few years ago he also got a part time job to cash flow a masters degree. That was definitely not an easy or fun 3 years, but it really helped his career. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  19. I don't know why, but I detest the Christmas story. It's just grates on my nerves. Ugg! I enjoy it's a wonderful life though [emoji6] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  20. Our Christmas stuff (Walmart) has been up for more than a month. It's sad.... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  21. That's really frustrating! It sounds like the 'easiest' idea to still allow her to go is to rent a tent for your husband to use. Much cheaper than buying. Although I don't think you can lose anything by asking if they can bend the rules one last time since you signed up under those bent rules in the first place. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  22. Unrealistic. He prioritizes cleaning over other things, you don't. My husband is the same way. He keeps an eye on the kids and cleans throughout the day. I read and play with the kids and let the house get dirty until later in the day. Different styles. Now that your are earning your masters sometimes that cleaning later on doesn't happen. He needs to either pick up the slack, or stop being annoyed and let you do it as you have time. When my husband was working 2 jobs and earning his masters there was no way I thought he would also clean the house. When I was pregnant and sick and basically laid on the couch doing nothing but breathing, he cooked and cleaned. It's called partnership. I will say that I learned through the years that my husband wanted a clean room to walk into and he was ok with the other rooms being messier. So I did try to tidy the living room before he got home if I had time. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  23. During cold season the kids have elderberry syrup. On a regular basis they take probiotics and fish oil. We are also pretty good at keeping them sugar free and eating an adequate amount of fruits and veggies. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  24. I don't think their course of treatment sounds scammy, but I do think they came to that treatment in a weird way. The easy solution is to go to another chiropractor and ask their opinion. I tend to think that chain practices and practices that need to give out vouchers at the fair might want money a little more aggressively than a private practice. Maybe they would extend a legitimate treatment for a little longer than needed or use language that involves some hyperbole because insurance is paying? The treatment itself sounds normal though.
