That is really bizarre dapostrophe. I guess she was expecting some cute/funny story about getting KU?? I wondered if my friend, who was hosting, might have told her the whole story since they are neighbors. That wouldn't bother me, it's a crazy story, but it still makes it weird for her to bring it up to me. Maybe even weirder.

I am going to visit my cousin and his wife's new house on Saturday and need a gift. We are very close with them, they are my kids Godparents and listed guardians, so it's important to take something meaningful and nice.
So far my ideas are: flowers wine comfy throw
But it doesnt seem good enough, any ideas?

Trucking through another day, trying to decide if I want to get anything from the Hunter for Target collaboration. Some of the boots and coats are really cute but I also try to not be outside when it’s wet so not sure if it’s something I need. 😏 Posts like this have me wishing for FB-style reactions instead of just likes. This made me crack up. I hope that’s a good thing!!

vino, wine and/or candles are usually my go to house warming gifts. Pretty serving ware is a good one too.

sing2phins Hi! I missed you! I am 33 weeks with #5 and still kind of in denial some days. My H had gotten a vasectomy after Theo was born, so it was a total shock (I don't mind telling YOU, just not nosy strangers). I got your email and will write back and fill you in. How are the you and the babies?

vino nice wooden cheese board, with a set of knives and cheeses already on it? Accompanied with a bottle of red wine or port, I would be really happy with this gift.

How are the you and the babies? See, and here I need the FB "wow" face! The kids are great. Maggie is ridiculous in all the best (and worst) ways. So smart, and sassy, loves to read and run, mostly sweet to her brother. Benjamin is just a joy (but ALSO CHALLENGING, holy shit). He loves to sing, do whatever Maggie is doing, and read (so glad I got two readers!). Are your kids excited about the baby?

OK, I'm stuck between two washers and dryer's (one is Samsung and the other is an LG). And now I'm researching something called purewash pro. It's this contraption that sits on the back of your washing machine attached to the hoses, and filters the water so you never you need to do a hot cycle or use soap. Apparently, you save a ton in detergent.

I hope I'm here to stay. I don't know; I don't want to promise because I've done that before and fell right back off the face of the earth. But I can say I will try. Let me get on my phone and give you some pics. I'm sorry about H's ear situation. I hope with the warmer weather, he won't have so many infections even without the tubes. How's M?

vino I like all the things you mentioned. One can never have enough comfy throws. I am also a fancy soap person, so sometimes I throw in a soap/lotion combo like they have Williams & Sonoma or Crabtree & Evelyn. Funny anecdote: Sometimes on rough days I asked Ev if she is a Crabtree or an Evelyn today 😁

guster we are in the market for a new washer/dryer as well. Ours came with the house and were not new when we bought the house 7.5 years ago, so now they are really not new. What were your criteria, and how did you narrow it down? And what are the specific 2 models you are thinking of? On second thought, I realize this might be boring talk for everyone else, so feel free to PM me if you like.

What were your criteria, and how did you narrow it down? And what are the specific 2 models you are thinking of? On second thought, I realize this might be boring talk for everyone else, so feel free to PM me if you like. I started by asking on here. There's a thread about a month back where people gave me their recommendations. From there I narrowed it down to an LG and a Samsung (with a strong third for a Maytag because every one my parents owned was from that brand and always good). Then I decided on top loading without an agitator because I've read that the agitator can cause wear and tear on your clothing and I wanted a bigger drum. I didn't want frontloading because I didn't want to have to find one with the added door to drop something in at the last minute and I've read about mildew and what not in the door. Then it was just about size. We decided on a 5.0 which is more than large enough to wash a king sized comforter.
