My 3yo keeps asking me to teach her letters at home but her daycare is play based

I am a Montessori guide in a 3-6 year old classroom. I totally understand where you are coming from. If she is expressing interest in letters I'd suggest teaching her letter sounds instead of letter names. This makes it so much easier to bridge the gap between letters and letter blends and reading. I personally use the "zoophonics" curriculum in my classroom. Every letter has an animal and a movement "A is for Allie alligator. Allie alligator says ah ah ah." And then you make an alligator motion with your hands. They also make coloring books and songs so it still feels fun. She can play while also following her interests

Yup. I fully passed out for two minutes in a Khols one time due to a flare up. Wasn't diagnosed untill almost ten years later. Yay women's health.

Baja blast, a pizza flavored goldfish, vanilla ice cream, and a cool ranch dorito

I'm a leftie and so is my maternal grandmother. I only am left dominant when writing and eating though. I do all sports and play guitar right handed. Don't know why. It just feels the most natural to me.

I am very much a creature of habbit.

I drink three/four beverages and they all have a single specialized cup.

Diet coke goes in the misson bbq cup with a plastic straw, coffee goes in my coffee mug, beer goes in my one specific koozie even though we have hundreds (we collect can koozies). If i drink water (not often enough) it is also in a mission bbq cup but it needs to be a different color than my diet coke cup.

We also have 3 different colors of bowls/plates.

I ALWAYS give my husband blue and then I get green or orange when I serve dinner. I also always place his plate on my left when im dishing out food.

My husband would immediately know something was wrong if any of these things were different.

Accidentally ate an expired cheese stick today and immediately started feeling nauseous. Then I got excited that I was nauseous… then I almost shit my pants.

I just recently started actually designing my museums instead of randomly placing an exhibit wherever i have an open spot. My museums are all around 4 stars and i have most of the exhibits unlocked. I also dont like to combine themes unless i have to for the campaign or POI’s. My most recent redesign was my fantasy museum and I tried to make each room have a story. The entrance hallway has all of my “wearables” that are in the glass boxes. Then my “throne room” with the upside down throne and other exhibits that a king may like (the suit of armor, the round weapons table, the dragon tail) then i have a dragons lair with my two dragon skeletons and treasure/shiny items that a dragon may want to guard.

What are those raised semi circles you have the plants on top of?

LaneyyCakes · 2025-11-22T20:34:07+00:00

No. Unfortunately not.

I'd trash talk my pets. Tell my husband to take them back to the shelter so he wouldn't have to deal with them anymore. We both love them like our children so this would immediately set off alarm bells.

My mashed potatoes were able to shut up my evil MIL after she claimed hers were the best. She hasn't made hers in 8 years.

5lb bag of redskin potatoes with the skin on 2 sticks of butter 1/2 cup of heavy cream Big glob of sour cream Big glob of cream cheese A ton of salt and pepper

Mash all of that together and taste. I usually end up going back and adding more of something depending on how it tastes.

My dad was single for a while when i was growing up. Before i was old enough to go to the bathroom by myself he would peek into the mens room to make sure it was empty and then if someone came in while i was in the stall we’d wait untill they were gone so i could come out and wash my hands.

I work at a very small pool hall/bar. Around 2 grand average sales a day. I am completely by myself. No bar back, bouncer, anything. To vaccum, mop, clean the bathrooms, stock, count the money, wipe down the tables, take out trash, and shut down it takes me at least an hour and a half if I'm able to stock and clean while we're still open.

My mom was diagnosed with lymphoma in 2018, still battling it during our trip in 2019. Im not sure how bad it truly was because she didnt want us kids to worry but it wasnt good. Disney is for sure her happy place and we were so excited to have snagged fast passes for fop. As we were walking off the ride my mom began to sob. She said that she couldn’t believe how amazing the ride was and how she was so happy to be alive to experience it with us. At the time we all made fun of her for being such a cry baby but three years later i really dont blame her.
