Ok, let's assume you have DECIDED to do sleep training. (Please don't let others' criticism bother you!!) You have to do what works for your family. Period.
It's a good idea to ask yo...
My personal standard for names is "not common, but not weird." As in, I don't want them to be one of five kids in their class with their name. But I don't want it to be so uncommon that they have t...
DEFINITELY get some legal advice or call the fair housing office. It's a good idea to find out what your rights are before the conversation comes up (and it may not!).
Water is pretty...
Yeah, I got some funny reactions from others when I mentioned making my own baby food. I guess it seems like it would be a huge amount of work until you actually try it.
Incidentally,...
Just remember....it's YOUR day (you and your fiance), and if you have a really strong preference about something, figure out a way to make it work, regardless of what others say. :) But do keep in...
My washing machine has a "sanitary" cycle that supposedly heats the water to a higher temperature than the water heater does. Which is great, because it's a good idea for energy savings (and in my ...
Hmm...my closet would look like these if I only had a dozen hanging items! :) Seriously, though, having matching anything (boxes, hangers, whatever) helps a lot!
Our previous homeow...
Love, love, love our Peapod (the "Plus" one - largest size). It fit in our suitcase when we flew for vacation; no checking our pack n play or worrying about potentially unsafe hotel cribs. Our son ...
Ohh, all of these are awesome ideas. Thanks so much!! Now the only question is whether there's enough fabric for book storage, cushion, reading nook, sleeping bag, etc.. :) Gonna need to "stret...
I won't comment on the "cry-it-out" debate...but here are things that help when we're traveling and share a room:
1 - TOTAL darkness. Room-darkening blinds, no little lights, nothing. ...
I think it's a better idea to figure out your skills and interests first, and then see how that could translate into an at-home job. It helps to have some aptitude for whatever it is, before you go...
I want to see the link! This doesn't really seem real. Wouldn't it have made more sense to use a less bulky clamp? Or at least a more attractive one? Hmmm...
We had to spend a long ...
Ditto the above comments about teaching what's a "no-no." It takes our little guy a number of attempts to realize we're serious, and he's not allowed to touch something (TV stand, diaper pail, curt...
At the 17-month mark with our son, it still works better to substitute other things (play with this bowl of water, not that one! bang on the floor, not the window!). But for absolute no-no's, a few...
Great idea! I use a desktop vertical file with "to file" "receipts" and other categories. The problem with that is it's a little too "out of sight, out of mind" and I don't get around to filing ve...
HAHAHA! When I first saw that picture, I thought it was actually breastmilk, but a very strange color. Yikes.
Great idea...though since they're so expensive I just put mine away fo...
Whew - too many other posts to read. This will probably duplicate others' posts.
I had a portable "kit" that I carried with me...I used a metal mesh CD holder that contained a small...
I love the room, and the artwork. I think what makes the artwork so great is that it echoes the colors of other elements of the room: the rug, items on the shelves, etc. Very well coordinated, wit...
This isn't an essential item. Our son much preferred his bouncy chair to the floor mat. But we did have one, and it helped him get some tummy time in the few months before he was rolling/crawling...
This year, it seemed like almost all of the cards we received were photos, not actual cards. I didn't have any clothespins (or time to rig anything), so I started taping them to a couple of kitchen...
