Now I'm really disappointed that I didn't save any baby food jars! I recycled them, but still...I keep coming up with cool ideas for them. Maybe next time around.

What I learned is that my needs changed very quickly: the items I needed at hand with a newborn were different than what I need with a toddler now. I don't need as much stuff, but the diapers are ...

We attach them to the handle of the oven...not very original, but it works. And it adds a pop of color to our white oven, too.

DIY - I second that! Only for me, it involves design software instead of scrapbooking supplies. :)

I'm just a beginner when it comes to this stuff, but fondant is surprisingly easy to work with. Kind of like playdoh. It would probably take a while to sculpt the characters, but I imagine you co...

This would go really well with our "nerdy baby ABC flashcards" !! http://www.tiffanyard.com/ohCOOL/ABC.htm

So here's a question: is it ethical to get a refund for DVDs that were given to us by others? :)

I found a very thick paper shopping bag (from Ann Taylor or somewhere) that stands up on its own and is very sturdy. It's not as tall as most bags. It holds all of my bags and tissue paper in a c...

I started eating even better, and stepped up my efforts to clean out my home...with a new person about to "move in" with us, I suddenly had motivation to pare down to the basics.

Ditto on all the other comments that say fixed sides aren't a problem. By the time you're on the lowest setting, they're setting or standing anyway, and you don't need to reach the bottom. And it...

My best piece of advice is to STOP reading advice books and articles!! There's something to be said for being well-informed and have a wealth of resources at hand, but it can make you crazy. Ther...

I had a green (walls) and yellow (accents) room...awful shades of both. My mom was a big DIY-er, so we had various wood items hanging on the wall that had been painted yellow to match. It makes m...

I don't know how good it is, but Tupperware has a divided lunch c...

The bedding set I found was exactly what I was looking for, and they didn't sell the pieces separately (other than extra crib sheets). But in order to get the crib skirt, changing pad cover, diape...

I, too love the 3M Command Adhesive products (of various sorts) but we recently had one pull completely off the wall and pulled a chunk of paint with it. The frame wasn't even very big or heavy. ...

We have a Fisher Price Space Saver high chair, which turns into a booster. I'm not sure how much space it saves, really, because now we just have one of our dining room chairs in the middle of the...

Very pretty. I just hope there aren't any little kids around who would chew on that peeling paint (on the chairs). (My kiddo chews everything right now...)

Great job! This gives me hope that I'll be able to repurpose my glider someday. I love it, but even the nicest looking ones start to look really worn and dumpy after a while.

I agree, it's a bit weird and creepy. I do think that one could just cut a hole in a garment that's warm and stretchy, though. Or maybe re-use a maternity garment. Seems kind of ex...

I agree with all of the recommendations for Baby Bargains. It helped a lot! Our little guy is 4.5 months old now, and there are a few things that have helped a lot. In no particular ...
