As an identical twin myself, can I suggest that you avoid dressing your girls the same? They are beautiful individuals and you should encourage their individuality, rather than teaching them that w...

ooh the floors are beautiful!

I have a beautiful tomato red cotton fleece blanket I got from Cuddledown. It looks like they don't carry that color any longer, but Garnet Hill has something similar:

Also, your deal-breakers evolve with your circumstances. My must-haves used to include wood floors, gas stove and windows in kitchen and bath. After I got pregnant with twins I gave up all those th...

I love being reminded of my grandmother at the dinner table. And I love the way her antiques blend with my modern. So much more interesting than flatware that is exactly what you would expect with ...

One thing the new gallery MUST have is links back to the original post AND the home page. Thanks for asking!

ooh, perfect for a compact landing strip!

This place is way overpriced, most of the stuff is junk, and the owners are nasty, troubled people. I went in there to look many times over the years and finally said no more. I honestly don't know...

I thought you needed slats under a mattress for air flow (to prevent mold). No?

yes, they look vintage and it shouldn't be too hard to find something similar. Try Alameda flea market.

Hey, my man does more of the housework too! Oh, and I'm a woman, and we both work full time. It's true I'm busy breastfeeding twins, but honestly he did more of the housework even before they came ...
