This set went to Youngest’s old roommate’s dog -
We wrapped it and put a note so people at the party would realize it was a dog owner gift. After this photo was taken, I wrote “hint” on the dog cutout.
This was an early Christmas gift for me from my oldest and his wife. I opened it at Thanksgiving because I was in great need. After a week, I ordered a second pair to save for when the first pair wears out.
I have arthritis, I have foot issues that require support. These come with a larger price tag than most slippers, but are well worth it.
They offer warmth, good support and I feel very steady on my feet. I wear them in the house only. We do not wear street shoes in the house.
I normally take an 8, I followed the directions on the website to size up, and the 8.5 fits perfectly. I have a thin but slightly wide foot.
Our youngest is a vegetarian who belongs to Green Chef meal service. She subscribes to the two serving, vegetarian, option. It gives her dinner and then leftovers for lunch out of each bag. (I think she goes out with work friends for her fifth lunch each week.)
She brought her Green Chef bags home over Christmas and cooked for herself. So I saw the process and liked it.
I subscribed for one week to try it. I did not like the idea of raw meat being shipped, so I used the vegetarian option also. (I always have cooked meat of different types in my freezer, so it is easy to thaw/add some to each meal.)
We are three days into our first four Green Chef bags.
We like the meals, and the cooking process is very simple. The meals are nudging us to eat more diversely. So, we are pleased.
The bag procedure I use is to order two serving size vegetarian meals. I add more vegetables and some type of meat to it. This works extremely well.
The first night (bag 1) I added more rice/mushrooms/and chicken from the freezer, there was enough for dinner and lunch the next day for my husband and I. The second night (bag 2) I added sliced turkey and mushrooms to the sandwiches, no leftovers. Last night’s pasta dish (bag 3) I added cooked lean ground beef/black beans/onion that was ready in the freezer and a few mushrooms, enough for both our dinners and today’s lunch for my husband.
I only ordered one week’s worth to start/try it. So next week we are on our own (regular meals/cooking) and I will be able to see how I feel about that process vs the bags. I have already placed orders for the following week to meet the deadline.
Middle got an electronic photo frame for me a couple years ago. Mine came with a funny little story, it was loaded with photos from a bar mitzvah and we had a heck of a time removing them.
The kids and I email photos to my frame. I really enjoy it.
My brother and I buy one expensive gift a year for my mother. This covers Christmas, her birthday and Mother’s Day. She is turning 82 and does not need a lot. It has just worked out that I have been able to think of one big thing each year.
The first year we contributed a big gift certificate to her landscaping redo. The second year was a new garage door opener with key pad and safety shut off sensor. Last year was a new (big) TV. This year was a 15” photo frame.
I am envious of the 15” frame. It is pretty great.
