Find Cupcakes for School (SE PDX0

My son wants those cupcakes with the toy on them for his birthday at school. Turns out Safeway (on Woodstock) doesn't do that. School rules are that I can't make them (have to be store bought). Any suggestions?

School Budget, Fundraisers and So Much WASTE!!!

This totally drives me crazy and I wonder if other schools do this too. This is half questions and half rant. I understand that schools need to do fundraiser occasionally for one reason or another which often drives me nuts, gets the kids all excited that they CAN win this great prize if they sell enough, with the exception of close family, most families have their own kids school and or scout fundraisers so it makes it hard for them to sell. On another note my kids schools seem to wast a lot of money by using disposable styrofoam...

New to the area...help!!

Hello moms, I've recently (as in yesterday) moved out here to the Newcastle area from the Bronx, New York.

Father's Day Card rant..What Do You Do?

OK, in the chaotic midst of moving out of the country, I had the children design their own Father's day cards a week ago, and of course they got packed. So, I took them to Safeway, then CVS to buy a card. I have not done this in many years. I was beyond shocked at the poor quality of Father's Day cards available. AND the worst part was that so many use FOUL language. AT THEIR LEVEL??? I don't even know how many times I read the word A$$hole, in Father's day cards, placed exactly at their viewing level. What is happening here in America?...

Question on High School Graduation for Boy

My son is graduating from high school next weekend. We have a gift for him and are giving him a small party. My question is, what do you give boys at the ceremony to congratulate them. I remember getting flowers but I'm thinking that is not appropriate for a boy. What do you think?

What Would You Do If You Knew Your Child Was Sharing/giving Away His/her Lunch?

Before going to bed, my daughter started saying that her voice was getting hoarse like "Leonardo's". I asked her why, and who he was, and she said he is her friend and it is because they share lunch. I asked her what she meant, did she mean they share the same lunch hour, lunch table? She said no, they share her food because he never has lunch. She said Leonardo's parents are too poor to buy him lunch or even a lunch box, so she thanked me for giving her an extra spoon this morning, because they were able to eat her yogurt together and...
