I feel the same way. There is not a single week in August that is a good fit (both Americans with kids starting school and Europeans taking their summer vacations).

When Teddy was 7, he was diagnosed with type one diabetes. For three years now, he’s managed this disease with incredible tenacity. No one wants to have to describe their kid that way but he has taken on this challenge and done extremely well!

If you run a Java edition Minecraft server for you or yours and would welcome a creative kid who wants to make a few online friends and build cool stuff, please let me know! We are looking for the redemption arc in this story

My kid has his first experience with online bullying today while playing on a Minecraft server that had previously been OK. Nothing has made me so 😡 & 💔as to see my kid in tears over the betrayal of people he thought were friends & sadness at the loss of everything he had built

WordPress friends, I am working with some new teammates who have never been to a WordCamp and am looking for photos of booths to show them the creativity and variety of different ways that sponsors show up at flagship events. If you have some, send them over!

I kicked this #MichelleAndMe selfie up a notch with added friends! Pictured left to right: @bph.social, @michellefrechette.bsky.social, @kjrichards.bsky.social , and yours truly. #WCEU

4 smiling women leaned together and posing for a selfie. We all are wearing glasses and have conference lanyards around or neck. A sign reading #WCEU can be seen in the background.

@bradw.illiams.com Our family is heading to your neck of the woods for a few days of the kids spring break in a few weeks. Any recommendations of must do places or activities for the 10-year-old-ish crowd?

It’s far from free but the most accurate and useful test I have ever done is the Strengths Finder www.gallup.com/cliftonstren... It is especially useful if you’re taking it with other coworkers so you can get a better picture of where your strengths complement or leave gaps

My dearest love and I passed a significant relationship milestone almost a month ago. We’ve been together for 7092 days but only spent 7068 days on earth before we met. We’ve had each other longer than we haven’t!

I have spent too much of my time in too much of my brain power today dealing with a ridiculous pharmacy issue that is preventing one of my kids’ meds from being filled. I am a smoldering inferno

Every once in a while, I remember to log any books that I have read physical copies of during the year. I added a few more this morning thanks to your post reminding me to do so!

Goodreads as well. For me, I know I wouldn’t actually track anything if it wasn’t connected to Kindle (my primary source of reading).

I landed on working more toward the beginning of this week so today and tomorrow are lighter working days. Working Monday & part of Tuesday then I am off for a week. Our summer nanny is coming back for a few days next week to lighten the mental load a little (& maybe score a day date with Brian?!)

This feels like a very Chicago-based opinion

We call it our “leisure minute.” By the time we send the kids back to bed for the x time, it really only feels like a minute

I am no expert but my kids do competitive robotics through school. Their two options are Lego robotics (using the Spike robot) or VEX, who I believe offers starter kits as well. They chose Lego and have having a blast with it

Katie @kjrichards.bsky.social · 07/12/2024

Wizard Pins is a good option. I’m not sure if their minimum order though; you may end up with enough Taquus to last a lifetime!

First snow day of the year for my kids, which means mom and dad (and cat) were able to sleep in. God bless snow days!

I feel very much the same. SOTW has historically been a time to celebrate wins from the past year and gather behind a shared vision for the future. There’s a lot of community repair work that likely won’t get done first

That’s so exciting! Congratulations to you both!

All the non-cooking parts of the stuffing are done. Potatoes are washed. Mac and cheese is chillin in the fridge until I bake it tomorrow. Being an adult for holidays is a lot of work

We picked up, which I’d argue is different from cleaning. They’ve done everything; even the toaster and inside of the oven are shining!

As a pre-holiday season gift to myself, I hired a cleaning company to do a deep clean of all of our bathrooms and kitchen. Today is the day and I am so excited!
