I live in San Jose, too, and that bedroom is really big!

Those are cute. We are past that stage now, but I think all tots should learn to ride a balance bike.

My version of "just the right amount" means we don't need storage bins or toy boxes. I put toys on one short bookshelf and in a small, low cabinet that holds other supplies. The day I need a storag...

Home option is not simpler for me, sorry. The venues I pick don't make you order their food. And I have the party at a place that is specifically built for the education...

A steampunkish pumpkin! I would love to see more steampunk pumpkins. You can buy craft pumpkins at Michael's and really go to town on decorating for fall/Halloween. Just beware. You ca...
