I think the bad thing about soda is that you don't wash your teeth after drinking, we are only used to washing them after eating. If you washed them afterwards soda would be as safe for your teeth as anything else, but that would be a pain in the ass.

Isn't there any sugar-free soda you like?



Oh, a restaurant with a lego table! My son would love that!



I don't have good memories with my parents, in general.
I don't have terrible ones either, they just did not do anything with me.
I hope I can do better than that with my son

I guess that Lego pieces handled by little hands after or during dinner might get gross quite quickly.
But nothing that warm water and a bottle of soap can't solve :D


Everybody remembers different things, we just focus on some part of the whole story.
Surely your mom remembers that because it meant a world to her. Sweetest thing coming from her daughter.
And for you it was just a natural thing to say, to which you probably did not give any importance.

But forgetting about whether you take your medication seems a bit hazardous.
Like, well, you need to make sure you don't take double the dose by mistake.

I think those containers are quite cheap, so yeah, it probably would not hurt getting one.
Or maybe just writing a checklist and checking it each day you take it. But then you would need to ensure you remember checking.


What I do with my medication is taking it right after I wake up, even before I leave the bed.
There is the risk I may forget it, but in my case it would not be a big issue.

Lego tables are the best! But yeah, often restaurants just throw some toys in a corner and forget to look at it, 'cause they don't actually play with it themselves. Always quite sad to see a kid corner which was once cute, but now stuffed with dirty, broken things. But lego is apparently very washable, throw it in a net and in the washing machine, it should work. Well, I'd leave out the super tiny stuff, but it should work they say. I never really tried it though.

We were at a hotel last year where they had an entire playroom. It was a HUGE mess, but my kids still loved playing there. It hurt my eyes, so we put everything away that evening. The kids got a card game as a gift from the owner for cleaning up so nicely. Lol, at least, that's what they told them. She said that usually kids made a mess but after a while got tired of it and cleaned up themselves. I wonder what kids go there... I think all kids would need someone to come up with the idea to clean up, 'cause by themselves? I don't believe that.

Quiet babies, yeah, the first was super quiet. We used to leave him in his car seat and he'd just look around when we were eating. Those were the good times. Then #2 came, ah. That was different. He made sure we did not forget about him. D:

My eldest is 10, but we still don't have smartphone's or tablets. Correction, we have one tablet I sometimes use for reading, but that's about it. I got it for home schooling and we had just one pc, it was easier if they could both make their school work at the same time.

Disadvantage, my kids both cannot really type. But I think they'll learn that soon enough when needed, it was just... suddenly needed. >.> But I just don't want to get them out of their tree house to practise typing, like... Priorities. D:

A few weeks ago we decided to visit a friend - first time visiting someone since the pandemic started!

His son is younger than ours, and we usually meet in parks where they can play. Then we used to go out to this Italian restaurant which has a room for eating AND playing. There are only six tables or so, and families with kids prefer sitting there - you don't mind my kids running around, I won't mind yours, we are all in the same boat.
It even has a door which I've always seen open, but if the kids are in a very noisy mood you may close it - and let the kids be kids.
It's nice.

But because of the current regulation, it was closed.
We had to eat in the "normal" tables, which was ok (it's quite family friendly anyway) but not nearly as cool.

I love it when the weather is good, usually the terrace is quite nice, but ever since we have 3, we do go out, but I often am also like... Just come by at our house. We'll throw something on the BBQ, I make a quick salad, throw a bag of fries in the oven, make some herb butter and bake a bread. It's like... 20 minutes and there's plenty of food for all. :) Plus we have the space in the garden, dunno. Just a good place to be. :)

My favourite place is nearby a pretty forest, they usually have a spot, no place to play inside, but a large playground outside. It's kinda, old, but still good enough.
