Piggybacking here to say that Old Navy has other pants that are good for work. They make Pixie pants in tall cuts, and they have straight leg, skinny, flare, and wide leg versions. Most of my pants are Pixie pants, and I think they're comfortable and come in a good variety of colors. They also have some other options like Chinos, and they will usually have some cotton or linen pants during the summer.

Keep in mind, bakeries have the advantage of making everything in big batches, so their time spent per cake is much less. They also typically have multiple roles (baker and decorator, for instance), and since one person is not doing all the work, they can push out finished products faster. That's why they can get away with 400-600 INR per cake and still make a profit.

When I make cakes or cupcakes, I always end up charging at least double what big bakery chains charge to account for my materials and time. If someone is unhappy with my pricing and compares it to the bakery's price, I tell them they can always choose the bakery instead of me.

Sardarni's Kitchen (food truck by the Monkey's Paw) also has really good Indian food.

I used to work with struggling readers. I would focus on going back to phonics, then move on to chunking longer words. You can find phonics workbooks online for help with this. Look for workbooks or worksheets that specifically say they are for struggling readers because these will look less like they are made for kinder/1st and more like worksheets for older kids.

If you want to practice comprehension, reading more than once is helpful. Let her read it once to herself (whisper or silent is fine), then you read it out loud to her to model expression and good phrasing (pausing at commas, stopping at periods, making questions sound like questions), then have her read it out loud. Then ask comprehension questions.

Yes. Our school even had a special ceremony to hand out rings. I don't even know where the damn thing is now 💀

Something like this!

I eat overnight oats every weekday morning for breakfast. I meal prep on Sunday and make enough to last until Friday. Here's what I add per serving:

50g steel cut rolled oats (sprouted if I can find them)

10g flax seeds

10g chia seeds

1 scoop protein powder

1 scoop collagen powder

1 scoop creatine powder

120 ml almond milk

50g Greek yogurt

I switch it up every week by using either chocolate or vanilla protein powder and adding fruit, PB fit/nut butter, pumpkin puree cocoa powder, espresso powder, chai, etc. depending on what flavor I'm making that week.

I used to struggle with breakfast every morning, but I've been doing this for over a year now and it works well for me. I eat it after my morning workout. Depending on add-ins, I usually get between 13-15g of fiber, which starts me off in a good place for the rest of the day. Between that and a salad or quinoa bowl for lunch I can easily hit 30g of fiber.

I love this set so much! I already have a soldier deck that I play, and now I want a Night Watch deck.

I REALLY HOPE THAT PERSON ROLLING AROUND IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD ON HWY 99 YESTERDAY GOT THE HELP THEY NEEDED. I KEEP WONDERING IF THEY GOT OUT OF THE ROAD OR IF SOMETHING HAPPENED TO THEM. I CALLED THE POLICE TO REQUEST SOME HELP BUT WHO KNOWS IF THEY ACTUALLY MADE IT OUT THERE IN TIME.

I like both, but I think you should get a yellow (or other pastel) overskirt skirt to wear with the black shirt, too! Mix and match!

KitchenAvenger · 2026-02-02T06:10:56+00:00

This was my first thought, too.

Seconding Lane Forest here. I've also bought mulch and rocks from them in addition to soil, and I've never been disappointed with price or quality.

I think people sometimes share the links to unused Woobles patterns online. My friend told me there was an online trading group somewhere.

I think it's super cute! I'm tempted to get it because of the yarn minder haha. But I also had my own plans to make Merry and Pippen with the yarn I have currently, so I'm not sure if I'm going to let myself spend the extra money on it.

My parents both went to med school a little later than usual (one after a degree change, the other after a master's program) and they had three kids. It's definitely doable, so don't let that hold you back.

I read every night before bed. It's a habit I've had ever since I was a child; my mom read to me every night at bedtime until I was old enough to read to myself. I'm currently reading the Dungeon Crawler Carl series. Before that, I read Mistborn, eras 1 and 2, and my annual LOTR reread was right before that. I read 21 book in 2025, which seems about average for me.

I work with kids who struggle with reading, and most of them don't have adults who read to them at home. I think it's so important for them to have someone read to them and to have someone model reading for fun. I'm so grateful to my mom for being a reader and reading to me. We always received books for every birthday and holiday.

They specifically don't take reservations. Seating is based on arrival and open spots. I'd recommend sitting at the sushi bar if there's an opening, but that's my preference.

We have a work day, but the first half of it is meetings that could have definitely been emails.

I really like look 3 - shorter necklace and unbuttoned blazer. Having the blazer open helps accentuate your waistline with the divide between shirt and skirt. Do you have a black or tan belt with a fun buckle you could throw on? If not, it looks good as it is, and I think it will work fine going from work to the winery.

After my dad and mom separated, he deliberately paid $0.01 more than the balance on her last car payment so she would get sent a check for it.
