I absolutely adore my mother and we are very close but there are many things I don't share with her that I would a "best friend" because she's my mother! She and my Dad have my back like no one else and that is very special since they also portray the same thing to my DH and our kids. My sister...

We would never do that. We live in Northern Vermont and it would be a royal pain to go to the bedroom every time we left the house to grab a coat or snow pants. We also store our boots in that closet. Plus, I don't want wet or snowy coats all over the house. They dry on a hook and then go in...

I just took my GS troop there for a week in June and we had a great time. We stayed at the KOA campground on the american side but did got to the Canadian side on a group tour. We loved Maid of the Mist but the biggest hit with the girls (ages 13-15) was Cave of the Winds. They loved...

Sometimes when I feel the weight of the world on my shoulders I just make a conscious decision to stop thinking for a few minutes. It's weird because I can actually see how my mood directly affects our kids. What helps me is putting on music. It tends to get us all singing and laughing in a...

I would not pay a dime and would expect them to replace the tree that wasn't supposed to be cut. We had a similar thing happen to us but with topsoil. We called a company for an estimate to have some delivered and never got a call back. Instead we came home to a huge mound of topsoil in our...

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. Personally, I have no problem with your friend selling t-shirts if that is her business and she markets to cancer patients. I would never do it but I don't feel like she's misrepresenting anything even if it is in poor taste. The bad part would be if...

This is a great thread- I thought that I hadn't really won much until I added it up over the years: $1,000 on the tri-state megabucks years and years ago. 2K Best Buy Gift Card from my bank HUGE Easter Bunny by guessing the # of jelly beans at the grocery store Free tuxes for my wedding...

I think this is extremely helpful and makes a lot of sense. Julie

We went to North Myrtle Beach last April for spring break and stayed here: http://www.wyndhamoceanboulevard.com/ We loved it- had a 3 bedroom with a view of the ocean and it was so convenient to be right on the water but have all of the pools/jacuzzis for all of us. It was kind of a funny...

We have driven 5 times from Northern Vermont to Florida and have plans to do it again next year. Our kids are getting older now but we've done it since they were 3 and 1. We make the trip down part of the fun and always stop for a day or 2 in a new place. Our favorite stop was in St...

Oh yes, I am in the same boat- I take ativan and Dramamine when I fly and it still barely helps to keep the fear and nausea at bay. But, I like to go places so sometimes I just have to get on that plane.

Congratulations! That is one precious little puppy.

Thanks so much! Julie

I'm so sorry. Julie

Great thread! I spent about 20 minutes tonight consolidating spices and cleaning up that cupboard. I have 3 half used tins of baking cocoa which is ridiculous. I didn't think of adding the soy packets to the soy sauce so I'm going to do that now. I also cleaned out a basket that I keep above...

I live in Vermont too (Colchester) and we have driven to Disney the last 5 times we've gone as a family. It all started when we didn't have the money to fly when the kids were really little. I think the drive is part of the fun but we're weird like that. We always take 9 days though and pick a...

Hi, There is a website called City Data that might be useful to you. http://www.city-data.com/forum/orlando/ Good luck!

You could also ask parents if they have a college savings fund set up that they are using. My parents used to do savings bonds for our kids but now have started writing checks directly to our 529 plans for each of the kids. I am so relieved that they are doing this for us instead of buying...
