@LShalott Buy fruit - like watermelon or a few different things for a fruit salad - and cut it up. Bring it in gallon zip bags.

@_nomadic_soul No, I had The Heart Family - they were a married couple with a marriage certificate and two small kids. It was like Barbie but more accurate proportions, milder hair, flatter shoes, and longer dresses.

@Jaominohn @Rachel_England I am here to second this. It's been in my kitchen for well over a decade and is now our go -to wedding /house warming gift. You will not regret this bin.

@graceclarke Parenting has an intense learning curve. Caring for a tiny human is a puzzle + with not enough sleep.
The growth by parenting is immense.
Raising kids can birth spousal tension; but working together to create a healthy family culture is a joy & strength.
And so much laughter.

@TrueConsolation I understand. My grandmother's idea of seasoning was salt, pepper, and ketchup. My poor dad still thinks oregano is "too spicy."

@RachelAnneRidge I might not always open them but when I do, they're great. Keep it up, friend!

@todayyearsold The sound system in our van quit working, so I went looking for dvds the kids could enjoy without sound. We landed on Tom and Jerry. They laugh raucously every time.

@RachelKayTaylor French press is not as bitter so you might be able to tolerate it.
As an alternative, I've also heard that a pinch of salt added to coffee will make it taste a little better.
Or drink a ton of water in the morning to stave off the headache and enjoy it the right way at 10.

@CNVinch @clhubes But it's good advice because the older one will remember who you chose. The infant will just cry a little longer.

@tweetfind23 @WeilToGo Every once in a while I think of this game. It played a midi version of Go Tell it On the Mountain.

@AriLamm Your threads are so insightful. Thank you!

This sheds some interesting light on the instance of Jesus "purging" the temple.

@TheSassyBirdie Watched it with the kids last night. It was entertaining, though it doesn't match the first for pure whimsy and daily feelings. But it was fun.

@SkyeJethani Is "giftings" a real word or straight Christianese?

[Cindy M Chen @CindyMChen]

@morganstrehlow Congrats!

Literally sitting next to my kindergartener's bed helping him settle after throwing up.

It originated with the preschooler. I teach, too. Kids will sneeze in your face without flinching.

If this isn't the essential difference between a cat and a dog

I think having an animal in our life makes us better humans
