So I found a spot I'd like to try but it has absolutely zero visual cover from the main road (no gates or fences). I usually wear workout clothes and use a massive tote bag to load into. I've only done a stand alone dollar store so far and think this would be a good place to try next. I have to day dive for safety reasons. For a wide-open setup like this at dawn, would you risk driving right up to the bins to load fast, or stick to the walk-up strategy so you blend in?

I'm trying to learn G major and I'm not sure if the finger position in my picture is correct. Most tutorials I've found use the index, middle, and ring finger, but others use the pinky too. Is the pinky actually needed, or are there multiple "correct" ways to play a G chord?

Made a quick charcuterie board in a cake carrier before a 9am garden trip.Threw it together with whatever we had, and somehow my 2-year-old just stood there eating while her brother rode his bike. Such a simple morning, but one of my favorite recent memories.

Turned a cake carrier into a charcuterie board.

Threw it together with whatever we had, then spent the morning at the garden—my son riding his bike on the path while my 2-year-old stayed by the board just eating instead of running off.

One of those simple spring mornings I wish I could bottle up.

My 2-year-old brought this home from church today and something feels off.

We have a new kids ministry director, so I didn’t think much of it at first. But my 5-year-old tried reading the words on it and got stuck, so he asked me for help. I thought he was just being silly… until I actually looked at it.

He said the lesson was “fruits of the spirit,” but the paper doesn’t say that at all. The words are just random letters, not even misspelled—just nonsense.

There are so many normal free worksheets out there, so I’m confused how this ended up in kids’ hands. Is this AI or what?

He helped me with that $60 charcuterie table I posted here last week and has been talking about it nonstop. Tonight he wanted to make one for dinner for him and his little sister.

He took it very seriously—arranged everything himself and was especially proud of the “fancy cheese.”

No veggie ramp, no carrot situation… still got devoured in about 2 minutes.

Be honest—how’d he do?

He helped me with a big charcuterie spread last week and has been talking about it ever since. Tonight he wanted to make one for dinner for him and his little sister. He was so proud of the “fancy cheese” and kept checking that everything looked right. It was gone in minutes, but I think this one’s going to stick with me for a while.

My 5 year old helped me put together a “fancy snack board” for him and his 2 year old sister tonight and I fear I’ve raised the bar too high. It’s literally just goldfish, grapes, strawberries, mandarins, cheese sticks, cheddar, a very serious attempt at a provolone rose (his idea of “fancy”), pepperoni, and turkey sticks—but apparently arranging it like this makes it Michelin star. They’re usually good eaters, but they were extra into it… like pointing at things, discussing options, fully in their charcuterie era. Not sure if this is a genius parenting hack or if I’ve just committed to making tiny boards for the rest of my life 😅

Update: I cut the fruit and cheese, peeled the mandarin oranges and showed him how to fold the pepperoni. Then my little man took it from there. He arranged the food plate, folded the rest of the pepperoni and did the provolone flower (this took him a few tries, but he kept trying until he got it) and peeled the string cheese into flowers.
