    Kindergarten move-up day cancelled

    I am not sure how this works in your area BUT if staff is needed to cover classes so teachers can mingle with the new incoming kids this may be your issue. We have ZERO money for subs.

    Can You tell me about your Daschund?

    :goodvibesWe have two. One full blooded with only one flaw - he likes to lick. Our second is a female and no flaws. Both are trained and go out with a dog door. No accidents here. We got both of them as adults. The girl came from the shelter. They are both wonderful additions to our family!

    Internet Grocery

    We use Garden Grocer and we LOVE it! We order and pay for our order months ahead. We tip at the time of ordering. We arrange for an early delivery so when we check in we can put our stuff up and get on with our vacation! We do tip bell services when they bring the bags.:goodvibes

    Where in the world do I find Pooh-sized kids clothes?

    At that age, I'd have one made out of real material so it is comfy and not itchy!!!! Don't forget comfy shoes you can walk in! At any size/age, a manicure, pedicure, and a hair apt. makes you feel special. May want to book it at a spa for a grown-up feel and enjoy the afternoon tea at GF.

    I need help making a Kindergarten decision

    K teacher's advice... Stay in the preschool IF and only IF they are preparing your child for K. If they are more about playing in the sand and watching videos, I'd move him. Visit the school's website or your state department of education's site and print out the objectives that your child must...

    What are your thoughts on Lazy Boy furniture?

    My dad owns a furniture store and sells it. Their company is quality work. Be sure to buy quality FABRIC that makes the difference. They start with the lowest quality at an "A" grade and go up. I wouldn't buy less than "D". Higest is "J" I believe. Buy the fabric protector. Also, some styles you...

    We have stayed at Pop, Contemporary, Saratoga, and Animal Kingdom Villas. We have visited and ate at almost every resort on site. When we bought, we choose Animal Kingdom due to the relaxed setting and laid back feeling which you NEED after a long day in the parks. I LOVE the animals and the...
