He got mad because he just thought it was boring. Meanwhile, Harry Potter is PG-13. The movie ratings system is… something else.

A beloved brand that’s been around for decades, I only just decided to see if it’s really worth the price. Pretty good! Maybe my new hide-it-from-the-kids, once-in-awhile sweet treat.

Many liquor stores close at 8 p.m., and some as early as 5 p.m., even on weekends. I don’t drink a lot, but it’s frustrating having to make a special trip or running out of something after hours.

Even though I still had to leave them a voicemail, it felt more human. I wonder if they will return my call or if they’ll email me. We could be phonepals.

A broken microwave plate with two strips of cooked bacon lies inside a microwave.
My microwave finally got so upset with me for eating veggie bacon that it destroyed a plate.

While we try to keep a pretty clean house, having two little kids always ensures a certain level of household chaos.

It’s enough to water ONE 8x4 raised bed via drip irrigation over the summer. This amount of food is barely supplemental to our dietary needs. The only real benefits are educational.
