    Instacart?

    I checked out of CBR this past Sunday. I had an Instacart order delivered on Monday April 5. No alcohol. Instacart delivered around 10 am and we picked it up ourselves around 8 Pm. Very easy and no charge. I had a scooter so we loaded it up big time and my kids hauled the bags of lighter stuff!

    October pink......do you know someone who has/had breast cancer?

    My amazing sister in law battled it for 3 years. She was only 35 when diagnosed, she discovered it while breast feeding her son. She died at age 38. We miss her every single day.

    Need to stop eating out... meal ideas?

    I try to have a meal schedule so it requires less thinking/planning work. It's tough because I eat very little meat, my 7 year old son eats very few vegetables (and oh how I've tried!), my two homestay teenagers from China don't love pasta, biscuits, potatoes, etc... I try to feed everyone a...

    Have You Ever Hosted A Foreign Exchange Student? How Did It Go?

    I'm a host mom getting ready for my second year with high school students from China. This year I have a sophomore and a junior, both boys. I fully admit that I do it for the stipend (single mom and a teacher-this allows for extras in our life we would not normally have) but also try to provide...

    Your work keys

    I have a similar looking set up, no car key though. I'm a teacher and have different keys for several outside doors, many classrooms, the workroom, the church as I set up for school masses (Catholic school). I've color coded them with nail polish to help!

    What is the most interesting thing you did today?

    I had one of next year's new homestay students over to see my house and his room. His dad came too. They fly back home to China for the summer in two weeks and then my student will come back by himself in August. He seemed polite, gracious, very nice. I've posted before about how my current...

    Very casual. A little noisy-great for families. My 6 year old said it was his favorite restaurant on our spring break trip

    Plantar Fascitis in Disney

    Vionics here too! They saved me on this trip I just returned from on Saturday. No pain the days I wore them. Not from PF or just sore feet from walking. I'm seriously replacing my shoe wardrobe entirely with these they made such a difference.

    Do you hire a cleaning person and did your parents have one?

    I don't clean before mine comes over. I do go room to room picking up piles, making sure things are put away and off the floor so she can clean though.

    Do you hire a cleaning person and did your parents have one?

    I would think a deep cleaning would involve washing down walls, cleaning baseboards, windows, curtains, dusting intricate parts of chandeliers, maybe carpet cleaning? I get a once a month clean but it's not those things. It's kitchen, floors mopped and vacuumed, dusting, trash, baths and...

    Do you hire a cleaning person and did your parents have one?

    When I started hosting a second international home stay student I did hire someone. She comes in once a month and it's heaven. It takes some of the pressure off of me to do it all. And I also don't resent the usual wear and tear the boys cause because I'm not the only one responsible for...

    Hosting a Foreign Exchange Student

    I am living this right now, so ask any questions you may have. I'm hosting two Chinese 16 year olds. They attend the Catholic high school that I attended, and it's 5 minutes from the school where I teach. I take them to school in the morning and bring them home in the evenings. Most everything...

    Debbie Reynolds has passed :(

    I too started crying at this news and I don't cry over celebrity deaths. I feel sad sure, but I don't remember sobbing before. Singing in the Rain is my favorite film. Princess Leia is one of my most favorite characters. That a mother died probably of a broken heart.... makes me think of if...

    Last thing you cooked

    I made chili last night. With beef because my international homestay student and my 6 year old like beef even though I'm a most of the time vegetarian. Wouldn't you know they both disliked it. Could have served them nuggets and fries and saved myself a lot of work!
