no problem, JetSet. I have tried loads of different products and tricks and the vinegar and washcloth as a dryer sheet works the best for us. P.S. I use a really old and ugly hot pink ...

Forget the floor. I am totally in love with that kitchen! Are there more pictures of it anywhere?

Personally, I use vinegar in the rinse cycle and then I use a 1/4 teaspoon Seventh Gen. fabric softener on an old washcloth in the dryer (I cannot hang dry my clothes where I live). This process wo...

Artkits are always well loved by toddlers and up. Just fill a bin with various art supplies and tie with a ribbon. Add the kid's name to the outside for extra love. P.S. Any gif...

I recently saw g*diapers at my local ecostore. I loved the idea of them (a cloth diaper cover with compostable maxipad-like liners for the inside). Has anyone ever used these? Good, bad?

I am a big fan of repackaging! Here's the coolest kit from Nicole LaRue for CKMedia. The full kit is here: http://www.sc...

With the holidays approaching, art supplies (markers/crayons, clay, recycled paper notepads, stickers, etc.) are going on sale in a big way. And My Own Art boxes are a big winner with all kids. Mak...

Gorgeous!

I couldn't do much but I donated the couple of dollars I had. It was so nice to get an email from the teacher! Thanks, AT, for letting me help.

Awesome. I love it when people get a grip on weddings and understand that it's more about enjoying being together than how much money was spent.

I'm going to beg to differ with you, jems. Pyrex isn't everywhere. For those of us who grew up (and currently live in) the middle of nowhere, the nearest Pyrex cup is at least 45 miles away. Is it ...

I adore the bird one! So cute.

Plastic bags have long bothered me but I used to live in Alaska (where you could recycle the bags) so I never commited to making the reuseable bag switch. Then I started living half my year in Texa...

"Can this be DIYed into an existing piece?" Yep. My electrician boyfriend did this for our entryway table and for a drawer in the bathroom (for the hairdryer and flatiron). I have no c...

There's white carpet because GP doesn't clean...the housekeeper does.

Amen, sister.
