    I am 10:49 in. First I have to say that you and your husband have done wonderful job with your children. The older kids are very responsible and seem to understand what their roles are. Every one of your kids are all well behaved out in public. First time viewer but one thought that came to mind is if you share your parenting methods.
    Also,
    How often do you go to Costco? I have a family of four and we go every weekend.

If your throat is really sore gargle with once of listerine for 3- 5 seconds or as long as you can tolerate it it will burn a little do to the alcohol but it will help. I do this when I'm sick in 2 day my sore throat is gone. Try it It will help. HOPE YOU FEEL better soon Amber.

      It is possible that she is the one who wanted/requested them-so “Melody’s muffins”-not meaning that they are JUST for her!

      We bought them for her and she shared them☺️

      @@KathyGendron-dr1rjsometimes the kids are allowed to pick out something they want. Or a kid will ask for something and it is purchased. I don’t assume they make the kids pay them back?

      Even if she bought it.. it’s really wise to give kids money and if they want to buy muffins or other things, it’s a great lesson to learn the value of money and what you can get for it.. and so sweet if they share. I don’t see why it’s bad.
