From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much for the incredible ideas you shared when I asked for some tips concerning my son’s surgery. I hope you know how much y’all mean to me. You have created a beautiful community here ❤️

I know *everyone* comments that Mickey is pointing to 10 and 2. It kinda looks like he's holding up 11. I dunno. Maybe it's wishful thinking on my part...

I needed to look up an old order on Amazon. Look what’s on the front page 👇🏻

My oldest son is having oral surgery tomorrow. I’ve been spending the day making soft foods for him, and still have more to do. Any suggestions as to what he can consume that is not dessert-y?

Good morning, dear friends!

A firsthand perspective on the shipping container backlog: https://medium.com/@ryan79z28/im-a-twenty-year-truck-driver-i-will-tell-you-why-america-s-shipping-crisis-will-not-end-bbe0ebac6a91

Seems like a lot is on the horizon, right? I continue to work on our preps, but I am not going to panic. It’s one aspect of our lives. Tomorrow our family is going to cheer our two oldest as they run a 5k at a nearby park. The day will be chilly so I think some hot chocolate and pumpkin muffins will be most welcome. Hope y’all have a wonderful weekend 🙂
