[EX Q]: Parent goes to backyard cookout during holidays. Parent tasked with watching a child, instead of all of them at once, while drinking a beer, and loses him/herself in the moment. Children too, enjoyed the backyard cookout.
[EX A]: I went to a holiday celebration with a backdoor cookout. It was memorable in the sense that it was the first planned outing with my children, who are still toddlers. It's been difficult as a homemaker with my toddlers, especially during the first couple of years. I feel like I sacrificed a lot to personally raise them, and sometimes I still feel ambivalent about my decision to have a family. So to say this was personally memorable, at least to me, might be a bit of an understatement. The part about the holiday party that stood out the most was just sitting in their backyard and drinking a beer straight from the bottle with the sun shining on my face. I was tasked with watching one of my toddlers while my spouse took care of the others. It felt easier with one kid. I think the work multiplies significantly with more children, and I can understand why most parents these days want to stick to one child. Anyway, that moment in the backyard felt relaxing, like something I hadn't experienced in a long time. It was equal parts freedom, and for a moment, it felt like I didn't have any kids at all. I mean, I had one that I was watching at that time, but that fleeting moment felt like a tasty raindrop when you're stranded in a barren hot desert wasteland. My children thoroughly enjoyed the event, despite not really eating the great food. They got to play around with other children that were also there, and they got to see what an actual party with adults seems like. I personally enjoyed it, and wish for more events like that in the future.

[EX Q]: I came up with the realization that i can save money by making my own nicotine e-liquid versus buying it at the store. It is much cheaper. I'm also excited about taking it up as a hobby.
[EX A]: Last month i found a great way to save money on my vaping hobby. I usually buy my e-juice from the vape store but, i found out recently that you can make it yourself. It is rather cheap compared to buying a 20 dollar bottle in the store. It costs me about one to two dollars to make a 30ml bottle of vape liquid. I also find it pretty healthier compared to smoking cigarettes as, i know what i'm vaping. It's only four ingredients (PF, VG, nicotine, and concentrated flavor) compared to whatever is inside cigarettes. Not only does mixing up a batch of this stuff save me time and money, i enjoy doing it. I was just so surprised that i haven't heard of other people doing the DIY ejuice making. So, this was a striking realization. It's fun to browse all the flavors that you can mix/make. Now i know why there are so many vape shops opening everywhere, it's because people are buying these 20 dollar bottles and it's highly profitable to the owners but, little do the the customers know it's just a simple blend of 4 ingredients. Propylene Glycol, Vegetable Glycol, Nicotine, and Artificial flavoring. Now i don't know about you but, i think that sounds much more healthier in comparison to standard cigarettes. These days you never know what kind of stuff is put into cigarettes. I once heard there was rocket fuel added.

[EX Q]: We traveled to my hometown, where I got to see my family for the 1st time in a while. My entire family was able to meet my son for the 1st time and my husband was also able to meet some family members he had not previously met.
[EX A]:
A few months ago, we took a vacation back to my home with my son. It was scary because it was my son's 1st time flying and I was pretty stressed out about it. It was the 1st time I had been back home in years, and the 1st time for most of my family to meet my son, who was one and a half at the time.  The flights went better than expected and we eventually landed, rented a car, got through customs and drove to visit family. We spent a lot of time with my mother, who had recently moved into an apartment and was living on her own for the 1st time in her life. My father passed away 3 years ago and previously she had been living with my younger sister. But she decided everyone needed their own space and moved out.  We got to see all my cousins and aunts and uncles, and my son got to meet his cousins for the 1st time. My husband also got to meet many of my family members he had never met before too. We had time to see my best friend in the world, who I do not get to see enough. We visited my old childhood home to see how it looked, drove past my high school and grade school and toured around all the places that had meaning to me growing up. My mother was so happy to spend time with her grandson. Of course she spoiled him with toys and presents. To be able to share this with my son and my husband was pretty amazing. We live so far from where I am from it was really great to be back with them.
