I tossed a similar hoodie a while back but kept this one because it is one of my favorite colors…but I still don’t wear it, so why am I keeping it? Donated.

Day 108: Health Journals

Thumbnail image for Day 108: Health Journals

I am always filling in health journals. Have done for years. You can see these are #12 and #13 – they cover three months each. While I think they are a good discipline and help me pay attention to signs of ill health, and occasionally I go back a couple of months to check something, [...]

Day 107: Game Informer Magazine

I don’t like this magazine per se but it has been extremely useful for teaching my kids a thing or two. They read it for the reviews of video games but became so disgusted with the fact they are written by adults for other adults and they focus on mature games and not fun ones [...]

Day 106: Decorative Pillow

Thumbnail image for Day 106: Decorative Pillow

At first glance this looks sweet but it’s been chewed. First by my son when he was going through an oral phase and then when our cats were kittens (who were presumably going through the same thing. ) Beads have been bitten off and threads are hanging. I dithered about whether to trash it but [...]

These were booklets that came along with puzzle kits I bought to teach the kids about other countries. The kits were cute and engaging but these booklets were rather dry and they didn’t catch on in our house. Full of good information, though. Gifted.

This is ridiculous. I got this out weeks ago but kept hoping the container to go with it would turn up. Nuh-uh. Tossed (because who wants just a lid?)

Ugh. This was a hard one. I bought these when we were homeschooling – a huge set. Oliver was so into comics at the time I thought he’d love these for learning about history. They cost me $80, I remember because it seemed a lot of money at the time. he never liked them. I [...]

Day 102: Toy Cars

Thumbnail image for Day 102: Toy Cars

Feeling rather sad about these. I remember when Sebastian would take them everywhere – to bed, in the bath. He would line them all up in rows, we had a rug with a road layout on it and he would put boxes underneath it to create hills. He would want me to play cars with [...]

Day 100: Calliope Magazines

We started reading these when we were doing homeschool. The kids loved them. They are good quality, ‘intellectual’ and kid friendly. I recommend them. They decided not to renew their subscription and said they no longer wanted these back issues so I gifted them to a family I though would enjoy them. But I was [...]
