We got out curved shower curtain rod at Bed Bath and Beyond, but I see them all of the time at TJ Maxx now. Must be liquidated Linens 'n' Things inventory!

I made one for my first place from an old hard disk - it was a huge platter, about 16 inches across from one of those old washing-machine sized storage units that held about 200 mb - how times have...

mkw, depends on the number in the little symbol. In my area, at least, only 1s and 2s are accepted, I believe yogurt containers are 5s. I'm sure there are programs somewhere that accept them, jus...

I received a kit like this from my dad when I went away to college, I still use it at least weekly. Thanks, Dad!

I love these too! I have the one pictured, I use it in my "kid cabinet" to organize all of my son's little baby dishes.

My mom found a white ceramic cup with lipstick on the rim in a bag of sugar when I was a kid. We still have that coffee cup (clean, now!) hanging around their house!

Ah yes, I love the Carr Valley Mobay...yum.

Vacuum every other day, mop one to two times weekly. Our little guy is a Kix-scatterer! And I cook a ton, so some always ends up on the floor, despite my best efforts.

Ditto on the Expedit being awesome for vinyl...hubby's 400 records are neatly shelved in our family room Expedits. The only thing better would be for him to embrace a fully digital library and sh...

Ditto on the Baby Bjorn bibs. That plus a yard and a half of roll plastic from the clearance bin at the fabric store for the floor and our carpet is protected. My little guy would b...

My husband dropped two cans of root beer, which both burst and started spinning around (fired by the carbonation escaping through a small opening in the can), shooting root beer everywhere. Just l...

A basket coffee filter in a sieve also works well for straining yogurt. Just perch over a bowl, put a plastic cover or saran wrap on top, and let it sit in the fridge for a few hours. You can comp...

I second the grout haze comment...that's exactly what it looks like to me. I bought a gloss sealer for my tile and it woked great, ask a local tile shop to help pick one after you re...

My husband spent 2 days picking that exact same brown plaid wallpaper off our master bedroom walls when we moved into our house. It was at least 40 years old and was hideous. The suggestion that ...

My laptop and my "Dave" laptop table from Ikea.

We just celebrated our son's first birthday party, and his little terror of a cousin managed to open the packaging on all but one of the gifts and play with them so they were in non-returnable cond...

I just installed one last fall, mine is a combo a/c and heat pump unit. We use it for our bedroom which, despite having central air, is steamy hot in summer and frigid in winter. The birth of our...

Oh yeah, Legos are the absolute best.

You could probably pin a printed sheet of paper behind a white tea towel or pillowcase and just trace a design. Or use a lightbox.

We are putting bungee cords around everything lately, we had a bunch in the garage already and we just hook them together to make them longer. But I agree with baumgak, having a drawer...
