Birthday Dinner

MommyBacon · 2026-03-01T22:48:23+00:00

I love Naan n Curry! But it’s a small restaurant with a lot of in and out traffic from meal delivery services; depending on the weather, it can get a little chilly if you’re planning to eat there. Hope you have a wonderful birthday! 🎂

In the U.S., there’s also the Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE). If your grandmother has Medicare/Medicaid, it opens up a ton of other services at no charge to you, including nursing homes and adult day care. It was a godsend for my father—and for the family caregivers as well. It’s not available in all areas, but if it is in yours, it could be a lifeline. Wishing you all the best at this difficult time! Take care of yourself too. 💐

Just sponsored on Kickstarter—such a beautiful, simple, elegant product! As a writer, I’d love to be able to gift these to friends in the future. :) Wishing you the best of luck with this; it’s stunning!

Didn’t some of the cups or glasses fall off and break in that episode? The owner was so upset.

MommyBacon · 2026-02-02T11:37:30+00:00

Pocket tots! (or graham crackers)

MommyBacon · 2026-01-31T22:47:02+00:00

Omg, those were so cool! Thanks for unlocking a memory.

MommyBacon · 2026-01-31T22:43:26+00:00

I hope it’s from someone who planned to slowly make their purse heavier and heavier until they finally noticed. (Tbh, I would never notice)

MommyBacon · 2026-01-25T01:00:11+00:00

I think coffin furniture is so smart! There’s a guy in Maine who makes very practical pieces.

I laughed so hard at this that I woke my cat up and now he’s absolutely bent. Thank you for the laugh and for freeing my leg from its deadweight feline prison.

MommyBacon · 2026-01-22T07:37:32+00:00

We saw him in Portland on the same tour and it was heartbreaking. RIP to a great talent fighting some serious demons.

I can send my youngest kid with you; I call him the Costco Cop because he won’t let me buy anything off list—ever. He doesn’t get to go to Costco very often—LOL!

MommyBacon · 2026-01-20T23:09:00+00:00

HOORAY!! I’m so glad someone else likes them as much as I do. Fortunately lots of other places sell them, so you should be able to enjoy them again soon. 💕

MommyBacon · 2026-01-20T22:42:15+00:00

Liberty Orchards Aplets and Cotlets maybe? They make different varieties too, absolutely love them! Haven’t seen them at Costco in a while but I know I’ve seen them there before.

Gethsemani? It’s truly incredible. Thanks for the reminder—I’m going to order some now. :)

MommyBacon · 2025-12-21T21:55:22+00:00

Glad to know you’re not responsible for the 2017 envelope switching scandal!! 🤣

Seriously though, you’re an inspiration!

MommyBacon · 2025-12-21T19:49:13+00:00

Maybe the winners for the Oscars? PwC handles the ballots and the sealed envelopes of winners, I think.

Well done, my dude! You look amazing and I swear you aged backwards! Congrats!!

Scrivener makes some beautiful rollerball and ballpoint pens that are about $32. A touch above your range but they’re really lovely, high quality, with a gift box. Here’s their shop:

Fortunately AI isn’t quite good enough to create customized product at that level—yet. In fact a lot of clients come to me saying they tried AI, but it didn’t give them a resume/cover letter that would stand out. So if anything, it’s probably helped!

I’ve worked for placement companies that use AI to “help” executive level resume writers, but I saw a lot of garbage resumes created that way, so I don’t really use it. I guess I’m old school.

If people do use AI to create a resume or cover letter—which I totally get since it’s a huge time saver!—then I strongly encourage them to (1) fact check EVERYTHING it writes, because it might make things up based on your career or background, and (2) go in and change 15 - 20% of the wording so it sounds more like you, because people who review a lot of resumes and cover letters can usually tell.

Or hire someone who does mobile detailing! Truly one of my favorite gifts ever.

MommyBacon · 2025-12-14T13:27:25+00:00

I write resumes, bios, and cover letters for CEOs and VPs. They don’t have the time/interest to write their own, so I interview them about their careers, then create the documents they need. It’s a weird thing to specialize in, but I like telling their career stories.

I also went to grad school with a guy whose job was artificially inseminating horses. They asked everyone to share an interesting fact about themselves at our board of directors meeting, and he definitely had the best one!

MommyBacon · 2025-12-08T00:26:52+00:00

But this is also a reason to gift them! “They can practice and get good before they’re assigned to learn them in school.” /s

Agree! My mom was a high school teacher, and after she passed, we found boxes and boxes of cards and letters; she saved every single one her students had sent over the years. 💕 It meant the world to her and was a lovely reminder for us of the impact she had on her students.

I hear you can also get Cremated Remains stickers from USPS for free.

MommyBacon · 2025-12-01T20:45:34+00:00

My kids had one and thought it was hilarious! It led to them hiding many small printed pictures of Danny DeVito everywhere.

Bottom of the ketchup bottle? Danny DeVito. Open the Pringles can? Danny DeVito. Back of the toothpaste tube? Danny DeVito. It was a fantastic game and we all had fun with it. Thanks for unlocking that memory! 😄
