I’m convinced some of the quagmire we’re in now goes back to kids sleeping in history class. See also the pre-WWII “America First” movement. Same “I’ve got mine, screw everyone else” vibes:

Parents/Caregivers who have an Elf: you can write on toilets with a dry-erase marker. My kids know the truth, but they still have fun finding her every morning. Saw this on Pinterest, but the OP went all-out writing in chocolate icing for extra authenticity. I’m too lazy for that cleanup.

I wouldn’t tolerate this half-assedry for a playing client, but I take a “don’t let perfect be the enemy of the good” at my house or I’d never get anything done, crippled by perfectionism.

Purging the fridge and repurposing. Crustless quiche is the easiest use for the leftover Thanksgiving spinach. Mix it up with a few eggs (+ egg whites if you’re watching macros) with salt, bake it at 375 for 40 minutes.

M2 had a friend over for a sleepover and I found this on my texts. It took a little sleuthing, but “expareges” = asparagus. This is all from giving Friday too much turkey skin on Thursday.
