    First I need a scale to haven’t had one in 10 years. Also do you have a grocery list when you shop? Do you have a budget? It looks like you go down every aisle. Also how does it feel to only shop with 1 kid versus all of them. You are right stock up even though there mask are in kids just get sick. Don’t forget the vitamin C.

    Hey Mary! Those scales were a good deal! I usually don’t use a list. I just know what kinds of things we like and buy a lot of the same things. I have a goal to do some meal planning this winter but usually I just wing it. Sometimes I go straight for the food and other times I hit more aisles. There were a few specific things I needed, like water bottles for the boys, so I did wander more. 1 kid was easier to keep track of but I did miss my helpful boys loading and unloading. Thanks for watching, hope you have a wonderful Friday!

    Hi Friends, Oh l have so much to say (as always😅) my excitement levels are off the scales!! Melatonin 5mg you can buy it in a grocery store WHAT here in Australia you can only get it with a prescription from the Dr and approval authority from the government for restricted use and only at the Pharmacy!! there you are picking it up with a litre of milk and bread and in giant tubs, honestly it's treated here like Xanax is in the US. The envy is real. Those bowls with cute lids/side plates l must look out for them in my Costco, do l need them in my life nope, do l want them yasss. That blanket looks lush and cosy, l want that as well, so much for me to look out for next time we go. A date with Everret how adorable, we always get the hot dog soda combo as well unlucky for us on the last visit it had been closed due to covid🥵. I love your Costco shops so much fun, the books make awesome Christmas gifts if you are an early planner for gifts. Thanks so much for sharing 👍

    How much do your kids need to bundle up for trick-or-treating at Halloween? I remember my own kids wearing sweats or a sweater under their costumes some years when it was a bit cold at Halloween. On the other hand, I remember seeing Piper Palin (in 2009?) on TV trick-or-treating in a snow machine/snowmobile suit under her costume, because the streets in her neighborhood were already snow-covered by late October.

    It really depends on the year. A lot of years we pick an outfit that will work with a full snowsuit. Other years we seem to get by with long john's and fleece with their costumes. I always cross my fingers that the ice will wait till after Halloween, then it is free game but we rarely have that luxury!
