I bought mh a scotch advent calendar last Xmas (given to him on Dec 1). I ordered it from the UK and yes it cost a pretty penny but he was so happy w it. I gave myself a big pat on the back for that one. This year I deserve that wine calendar!! Also a note on alcohol deliveries- I'm pretty sure some states restrict it. They also usually require someone to be home to sign for it (so have it delivered to your work!). I may or may not order a lot of alcohol..... I'm pretty sure it's illegal to mail or receive alcohol in the mail here. I have fedexed beer to my boss in Mexico before.

J's baptism is next Sunday. I can't remember if I got anything for the Godparents, same for both kids, does one get a gift for the Godparents? If so, any ideas? Anything that you've received or have given?

Anything that you've received or have given? I did for B's godparents. I got them St Christopher keychains that I had engraved to say thank you for being my godfather/mother along w the date of the baptism. I didn't get anything for C's godparents. 😖

Anything that you've received or have given? Cuff links and a bracelet necklace? ETA I have no religious background, so I don't know if this is appropriate or not, but it was something that came to mind.

Hi all. Trying to catch up on yesterday's and today's thread.
We are packing up our kitchen because our renovation is supposedly starting Monday. I'm so nervous about it. 1: I don't know how long we are going to be without a kitchen and how that'll impact daily living. 2: I don't know how messy this is going to be. 3: we are knocking down two huge walls to turn our kitchen, living and dining rooms into one large room. What if the walls can't be taken down?! Or if we end up with polls in the middle of the room? Or if it makes the house ugly. So much uncertainty!!!
Plus I want to stay in a hotel with the kids during demo days but I haven't booked it yet. And how am I supposed to make O a lunch everyday from a hotel?!
Ok now that I'm typing it all out there is a lot going on. Is it 5 o'clock yet?! I need a drink.

snoopmommymom trust me, think the worst mess ever and then double it. But in the end you (and I) will have something gorgeous. If your budget in any way allows it I would look into a room with a kitchenette or even better a two room hotel 'suite'. My kids won't fall asleep when they're both in the same room.

Thanks. That video was helpful. I did something similar and set up a temporary kitchen in our family room with microwave, toaster, and coffee maker. I also have snack food and paper plates and utensils there. No hot plate though.

I haven't actually watched the video but one of the YouTube channels I follow shared this video this week. It might be helpful.

After 45 minutes of no response she finally came to a little. They think borderline heat stroke. Waiting on the doctor now. She was on fluids for 30 minutes before she started talking.

Cats got into a verbal altercation. I got them separated and Kaine hopped up on the couch next to me. I was petting him and then he flipped and bit the crap out of me. My own fault, I thought he was calm enough to touch. Just happy it was me and not Cadence. My wrist has some lovely punctures now. Ugh.
