Shellyann36 @Shellyann36 (11384) • United States 9 Feb 12

If you are at home all day long do you stay in your pj's, get into something comfortable (sweats) or do you dress as if you were going to get up and go somewhere? I have this bad habit of just wanting to be comfortable. I dress in...

cdcapitano Ditto on all of your goals! Staying at home is new for me as I recently gave up my career to be a mom and wife. I let myself slide for a bit after being sick, but now I'm back on track. It makes me feel better about myself and my husband appreciates it. I make...

cdcapitano I've been doing my own laundry for years, and now I do laundry for my family of 4. I usually do one load every day. The trick is to multi-task. You can roughly estimate how long each load will take in the washer and the dryer, so find some other chores that...

silence777 @silence777 (121) • Philippines 8 Feb 12

Do you use stock made from scratch in cooking dishes in your house? In our country, most people use store bought cubes that substitute stock. I think that they use it cause it's cheaper and less time consuming. But I personally...

cdcapitano I keep going back and forth between buying whole chicken and buying boneless, skinless chicken. When I buy the whole chicken, I make my own stock. Otherwise I keep cubes and cans in the pantry.

cdcapitano I tell my kids I love them all day every day. I tell them with words, looks, smiles, embraces, time, etc. When my daughter was learning to speak, "I love you" was one of the first phrases she learned. It melted my heart every time she said it. I knew that...
