In reply to MP. We run laps around our house (it's kind of a loop). It's 25 steps around. You can't get going fast because of the sharp turns. But it's too icy out to run.

In reply to CNM. Agree! I could take them or leave them. My favorite was always the peanut butter one (tag along) which I think is now retired.

I love to run too, but even rainy wet weather and extended dark definitely make it challenging in Jan! Two things that made a huge difference for me in Jan: Barre3 online classes (you can do them for 10,30,45 min whenever you have a pocket of time). They are not the same as running-but really help with arm, an,core strength. Also, my husband bought a stationary bike at the start of the pandemic that can be adjusted for anyone in our family. With 5 kiddos, I would bet anything it could get a lot of use by a few. Plus-30 min when your tired cycling while watching Ted Lasso seems doable, when you don’t feel like running when it’s 10 degrees. Between the two, I managed to work out a ton in Jan and it would have never happened otherwise.

Car rides are the best time to talk to teens! A lot of things can be talked about while both parties are looking straight ahead!! : ) Take advantage of the time cause all of a sudden they will be driving themselves!!

Sorry, but Thin Mints are the BEST – frozen or not – LOL!

In reply to Gillian. That is funny, I had the same experience but with Samoas, not Thin Mints. And to this day I can't stand coconut and will never eat another Samoa again!

My tip for moving your treadmill? Find an engineer. They’ll find a solution.

We had a sofa bed delivered and the movers couldn’t manage to get it into the intended bedroom. I called one of my engineering friends, she came during her lunch hour and we got the sofa bed into the bedroom.

As a dutch person I’m always surprised about this schoolbus/driving kids to school thing. I know the roads are not that well equipped for bikeriding in the states, but…. is there really no way you can make a nice family walk out of this… ? you could run back 😉 an 8 minute drive seems doable on foot… The difference between our countries on this point is really big, i love the different perspectives 🙂

Try Sweet Loren’s Cookies (dough). It’s vegan and I just eat the dough… and don’t bother cooking but it makes good cookies too.

A Comedy of Errors is my favorite play by Shakespeare. I also love our old Soviet film – it’s so beautiful and tragicomical!
