I have a "method" that my friends have named after me. I use the colors of the rainbow: Red = tomatoes (grape or pearl) Orange = carrots Yellow = yellow pepper Green = avoca...

We set up a "food train" for friends who have had babies. One important element is to also make sure that the meals can be eaten at anytime and at any temperature. I agree that I was more hungry af...

We passed this link around our office last week. How does one pack up nearly 70 years of ideas?

We visited Epelgarden in Fitchburg, WI. There we picked 20 pounds of 5 different varieties of apples which I made into applesauce. They also offer carriage rides and have a large pumpkin patch. I t...

Color is called Yellow Brick Road, and ceiling is a a pale white with yellow tones in it.

I agree - it would make a great vacation/crash pad, if someone had the money to shell out. Or a great first-time place, but at $175K and a slim chance of re-selling, why not keep renting?

I made this for brunch this morning and have a few suggestions: I made it vegetarian and even with cooking spray, most of the eggs stuck in my muffin pan, which is non-stick. Maybe but...

I think it also helps if parents reinforce their own bedtimes, i.e. show that getting ready for bed on schedule and at least *appearing* refreshed in the morning helps to set the tone. No TV in bed...

In Madison, WI we have Half-Pint Resale, which was also started by two moms. It's twice a year and I get my daughter's entire season's of outfits, toys, etc. at each sale. Check out

We actually did the paint a canvas last Christmas and it turned out very well. I got four 4x6" canvases from Michael's for around $2, three tubes of paint, gave them each 2-3 coats, let dry, and th...

I think I got the tip here, but the Cobra Zip It is our new best friend. It's about $3 at hardware stores and is a jaggy piece of long plastic that gets into all nooks and crannies. It says it can ...

We did this when we moved into our small home four years ago, and what a different it makes! There are brushed Nickel ones that Home Depot sells for about $2-3 dollars. Along with painting our old,...

We use old formula containers. Then, if they get raggedy, we can easily toss the container. We also have used the coffee containers from Trader Joe's.

3: our everyday dishes, china I inherited from a friend of the family, and this great set I scored at a yard sale for $.25 each - they're small and have a slot for the matching mug; I use them for ...

My daycare provider loved the empty containers. She stored different types of toys in them, makes rattles out them, have kids guess the contents, etc. One of my friends cut a slot in one, and using...

Beets and Brussel Sprouts. Can't stand either.

I do. But I generally only put things in there that are great. It really works for friends' children - a great toy or book that will work well for a birthday or if a baby comes along. I also shop f...

I just did that when I was on vacation three weeks ago. I went to a market and found a type of pink salt I never would at home. I also offer an extension of this and encourage people to take photos...

Wow - fantastic! I would love a set for grown ups, too. Same with her dresses.

We have four small bins/cubby cubes for our baby and that's all the toys we allow in the house. If it goes over those bins we weed out items to sell/donate. It made us realize that we don't need fi...
