I know that you enjoy thrift shopping... have there been more than 1 pair of these pjs? or have they been lengthened as the years go by? or do you buy them new from hannah anderson, in a bigger size?! There is much history here for we, the long time readers!

My kids (10 and 12) totally fell for chore camp (apparently, I am such a task master that it didn't seem out of character for me to be proposing it). The best part was when they started trying to find the silver lining: "Hey, we could come home and start a cleaning business" "Well, and it couldn't ALL be chores, could it?" Your milk trick was also completely fabulous. And the doughnut tree seeds (from Family Fun) . . . mwwwwhahaaaa... A big thanks to you, Catherine, for all you've given me and my family over the years. Good luck with your newest adventure!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345517269769334066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31773345.post-43964995668910725552011-04-03T19:57:00.688-04:002011-04-03T19:57:00.688-04:00So happy and relieved to hear your plans!

Twice a week!!! Woo hoo!!!<br /><br />I agree with Wendy that the SouleMama blog is a good model for how to include advertising on your blog. I trust her advice, and have shopped at a number of the online stores she recommends.<br /><br />If you recommended companies, I'd be very excited to check them out (like I have been with the books and board games.)<br /><br />Two times a week!!!!<br /><br />-Lorencraftsisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05583285347680507970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31773345.post-89021999650163340502011-04-03T06:38:33.633-04:002011-04-03T06:38:33.633-04:00I love your Goldberg machine!

And if you can figure out the internets, Catherine, so that you can replace your lost income with ad revenue, then you will be, too. I'll keep my fingers crossed!<br /><br />I was printing out the camp brochure when my nosy daughter snuck a peek at my screen. Damn. Maybe next year. I did convince her that she might have to repeat 5th grade, though, so that's something. (It's not as cruel as it sounds; she hasn't been doing her homework lately, so I wanted to put the fear of God (or her teacher) into her, and this seemed like a good two birds, one stone sort of opportunity.<br />Love Ben and Birdy's Rube Goldberg video, complete with striped pajamas. What does it say about me that, even though I've never met your kids, I think about them every time the Hanna Andersson catalog arrives?<br />Also, Shabbat shalom to you, as well, my favorite fellow half-Jew! Now I have a sudden urge to bake some challah. If only I had a trusted recipe online....
