I can see the arguments for no screen time/limited screen time. That means no/limited DVDs, and YouTube too. Claiming that computer or DVDs about commercial characters are better than cable educati...

Metro Mini's on the Upper East Side if you have a small child to shop for--slings, natural crunchy toys, cloth diapers, etc. Strand bookstore has a kids department which is sometimes f...

I do baking trays and muffin tins. Nothing that it would be a problem to leave in there while the oven is in use. And only a few of them, so I can throw some rolls in to warm without having to take...

We have about 650, 1 dog, 2 kids. I'd like 1 more dog and maybe 1 more kid someday. I would love to have some outdoor space and a guest room. I guess my ideal would be 800-1000 square feet main hou...

That is AWESOME!

As for how many designs... perhaps like they do for art shows, someone can submit up to 3 or 5 products, but you will post only 1 per designer into the competition. Or else only submit 1. Dozens fr...

Yay, Evie and Jazz! I love your room!

"It is NOT that small! At least, it doesn't feel small!" and a lot of "You HAVE to come help me organize my place!" and once in a while "The kids must love it!"

Not sure how it would be a fire hazard?!? My best friend growing up in Louisiana had something like this. It doesn't get very cold there in winter, of course, but I don't recall ever noticing probl...

Wow! It's beautiful! What a lucky baby!

6-8 is ideal here, but that's because we have 2 kids. I like to have just one other couple or family over generally for more intimate discussions and more manageable size. Any more than that and it...

So, I presume that the box across the top that is holding books is not something that stays there when the child is in the crib, just like with the snap on changing tables called rail riders or som...

Someone said they had an umbrella stroller that reclines. You can definitely do a lightweight stroller, just ask about ages when you try them out in the store. The cheapy umbrella variety and my ma...

So, since you're moving when the baby is pretty little, I would start the list of what you don't need (and some of this you may well need or want eventually, just not for the first 3-6 months or so...

The chalkboard paint on the closet doors is fantastic! I will definitely file that idea away for future use!

That anti-racist parent blog ROCKS! I think I've found a new favorite, thank you!
