#1 - I asked my partner's ten year old to come downstairs with me. She willingly spent an hour going thru old toys and books and picking out 4 grocery bags worth of stuff she no longer wants.
#2 - We then let her older sister look thru it to make sure everything was ok to get rid of. She only took out 5 books. The rest is now at the thrift store, freeing up a big plastic bin in the basement.
#3 - At dinnertime I asked for volunteer assistants, the 10 year old wasn't interested but her sister willingly helped which allowed us to add pumpkin scones along with a new pasta recipe.
#4 - The pasta was made with mango, avocado, lime juice, red onion, basil and roasted cashews. It was quite yummi.
#5 - While meal planning - my niece wanted a jam and bread sandwich for our camping trip next weekend. I said, "No." We looked for a better option and she suggested a hard-boiled egg. I will definitely bring some of those. I was going to suggest cheese and crackers, but I guess she is picky about crackers. Then my partner suggested a tortilla and cheese stick. Perfect! She loves tortillas and cheese sticks. That will work.
