I live in Oregon and I really do look forward to berry picking in the spring and summer, but apples are heavy and higher up! Seems impractical, lol. Haven't taken my little guy to do it yet.

That Thai meatball soup recipe is phenomenal!! And now that I know the tips, I can't wait to make it again!

Youngna, I feel you so much 😂 We’re in the middle stretch of the Sukkot holiday, which lands in fall, and it’s almost a standard expectation for families with kids to ‘go somewhere’ or ‘do something’ during those few days off of school. If there isn’t at least one official Outing (and usually an expensive one) you’ve failed as a parent. Apple picking is often on the list.

Meanwhile my kids definitely prefer Lego and movie nights, and endless hours of Minecraft in pajamas. As do their parents 😁 Hitting every attraction in the American Dream mall is our version of hell. 🤪

My husband and I have taken to dreading my mother-in-law’s inevitable ‘So...? What did you do today?’ At this point, we decided to try answering bluntly ‘We went to the zoo.’ (False.) Let’s see if it works.
