@Dirtdragonmom @truthandhyssop J1 was SO hard to get to sleep, and would wake at the crinkle of a potato chip bag. J2 would (and still will) sleep through just about anything.

Decided it was time to try something new, so the boys and I made sourdough pretzels. Had to make a couple of tweaks for allergies, but I’m quite pleased with the result.

@pswatts_ Try alternating running with walking. Look up the Jeff Galloway method.

Came outside to find J1 had smooshed his chewing gum into J2’s hair. Thankfully I have a very knowledgeable MIL and some oil available.

Never boring with kids, is it?

@hegelpill @oghofer @CathyYoung63 I taught myself cross stitch, knit, crochet and embroidery from roughly ages 12-19.

@Rosie_Gamgee_ They don’t make ‘em like that anymore, do they?

@Rosie_Gamgee_ We were married in the PCA church I was attending at the time. Reception was at a Greek Orthodox building.

BOOKMARK OF AMERICA UPDATE:
The first one is fully constructed, ordering available soon. We decided the semiquincentennial version is going to be a limited run, capped at 250 bookmarks total, they will be numbered so if you want a specific number from the run you will want to get that order in as soon as possible. If you want to reserve one, let me know in the comments.

@MrsGoresDiary Oh to see the world through their eyes again! Sounds like a home full of love and laughter.

[Julie Mead @bearcubbakers]

@Rosie_Gamgee_ Absolutely spot on. 💕

[Julie Mead @bearcubbakers]

@whodamoose Not sure votes are all getting counted, but I voted for Rosie’s because moose, obviously. 😉

100% handmade pen, photo taken in person.

AI detector says it’s fake. SMH that people trust these bots to assess anything accurately.

@whodamoose I guess your work is just too good to be true!

[Matt Mead @whodamoose]

The penultimate is mightier than all but one sword, but ultimately you will be sure find a mighty fine pen if you check out the handmade pens at fathersonwoodcraft.

Not sure if Oklahoma, Arkansas or Illinois really count, as they were just drive-throughs.

Honestly, I’m surprised it’s as many as it is considering my homebody preferences.

[Julie Mead @bearcubbakers]

@BooksTiffany And slime. That stuff never comes out. 😬
