Tell me about shopping on Erev YomTov? (even now).
Can't tell about now b/c haven't started any Pesach shopping yet.
I like to start the shopping earlyish, probably b/c I hate last minute pressure.
Shooping can be a hassle, but it is really thrilling when you see the new things, food etc. that is in your home already for Yom Tov.
It would make me want to start cooking right away.
Delightful, when I pictured my children in their new Yom Tov clothes, and I was excited b/c they were excited.
Tell me about baking cakes using potato flour, and how to prevent them from sinking?

I don't really have a solution for this, but in recent years we have baked more muffins/cupcakes and cookies than cakes for Pesach. That seems to work better, in my experience.
Tell me about a meaningful idea regarding yetziat mitzrayim, that I can think about as I prepare for our Seder.
Many ppl in their life experience a personal yetziat mitzrayim where they get out from a bad situation. If you think over your/your loved ones lives you may see the miracles

I do many times. In my younger years I was always an early riser. when I have an appt. and need to be out at a certain time it's set.
Tell me about changing over our clothing from winter to summer.
do you wear more colors in summer or mainly black?
I don't put away all the winter clothing until Shavuos b/c the weather is still changeable until then.
We still keep cardigans, light sweaters, jackets, out.
Re colors: I don't wear mainly black in the summer. A black skirt, with pastel colored, or not "hot" colors tops. I like twin-sets.
We wear what we have from the previous summer, I don't buy new each season.
Tell me something cute your children did/said/sang at the Sedarim.

My 7 and 9 year olds said ma nishtana in Yiddish. We don't speak any Yiddish at home, nor do they learn Yiddish in school, but this they did learn, and it was beautiful and adorable!
My 15 year old son decided to say ma nishtana like his little sisters - standing on his chair! It was quite a sight!

Anyone have an answer? This game is begging to continue....

Tell me about you're daily schedule
I think the first time I heard of that was from you last year, singleagain!
Wake up (sort of), get the kids off to school, lay back in bed, get up and get myself ready for my day, get to job #1 (hopefully on time), get to job #2, get home (should be doing that already now!), then comes afternoon rush! Dinner, homework, bath time, bedtime, all wonderful kid things BARUCH HASHEM!
Tell me about your first Challah after Pesach
(My 4 year old, who proclaimed proudly on Pesach that she doesn't like matzah, got her first piece of challah this Shabbos and asked for matzah! )

that's so cute!
We bought challah for Shabbos. It was delicious, one could taste that it was fresh.
What I like about Pesach food/ and food made after Pesach, is that it tastes so deliciously fresh.
Tell me about staying hydrated in the summer? How do you remind yourself to drink water regularly?
Lay down and raise your ankles higher then your head,it helps to put something under your feet to hold them up.
Tell me about shoe shopping.
Whatever type of shoes you are looking to buy, make sure they are comfortable and a good fit. It's not worth buying that elegant, 5 inch heel, pointy shoes, that you love, if you are gong to end off hobbling in pain.
imho
