Check out these homemade pretzels and jalapeno cheese sauce… Holy cow. I usually get cheesy pretzels on my birthday, but that’s not until November. I may have to make these sooner—like today!

These pecan pie cups look pretty tasty, and I don’t even like pecan pie! My dad does, though—maybe something special for him sometime?
I typically give kid's crafts a pass. I mean, they're kids. Making stupid crafts is kind of your only option when you're a kid and you don't have the skill, patience, time, or budget to make decent crafts. But even so, the holiday favorite "orange studded with cloves" is a craft whose time has long since come and gone. This is one craft that has to end.

I don’t know about you, but I like to have lazy, slow Sundays at my house. I do usually do some cleaning, but since Indy works on Sundays Wood Sprite and I often have Artzooka project days, read together, and just take it easy after a week of activities. Even without Girl Scouts and co-op for the summer, we still seem so busy—we do events at our libraries about three times per week, if not more, have 4H and gymnastics, and still have art club and field trips with our homeschool groups.

A year ago, Redditor sameerdoshi went blind. Today he solved his first Rubik's Cube - after modifying it for tactile play. His solution to the color conundrum is as simple as it is elegant: add stick-on things to each square. For example, as you can see in his picture above, the orange squares are self-adhesive velcro, the white squares are stick-on plastic gems, and so forth.
Start by keeping a straight face when the doctor tells you he wants to check your pelvis for “fetal parts.”
Fetal parts.
Sob silently as you lie back. Look away when the nurse sees your tears and puts a box of Kleenexes on your stomach and says she’s sorry.
Tear off your blood pressure cuff. Incoherently mutter about going home now now now. Call your mother. Pretend to listen to the “home care” instructions the nurse gives you and take her stark handouts without listening as your mind whispers my baby my baby my baby.
