Long irritating story short: We're moving. Probably in a week. Yes, a week's notice and, yes, that's over the holidays for those of us playing along at home.   I've done very well over the years getting rid of 90% of my...
I tried FOREVER to try to teach my oldest to read. It was AWFUL. She'd see a word like "cake" and see the c and start saying cat, car, kite? I thought it was kind of funny, because my MIL, the Patron Saint of Teaching, tried to teach...
We used to have this problem. As in, it would take an entire day to get our dishes done. Two things: You have too many dishes. If you have enough to have that many dishes out, you have too many.   My husband didn't believe me...
