I don't know, it seems awfully big for a single-use item. As a kid we always had homemade popsicles and the little plastic tupperware handle caught some drips, and we had to eat them in the kitch...

Yes, I was thinking I might just use any old bracelet (or pin, etc.) to keep track of which side is next....I'm sure I have a pile of old rubber bracelets somewhere!

I've taken an up-close look at some of the plans, and I think it's a really good idea. At least originally, the stadium in Washington Park was intended to be a temporary structure that would be re...

Oh, no! I always sort of cringe when my favorite antique hunting destinations get press coverage! It's rather selfish of me, I know, but I love being able to find what I'm looking for and still h...

My colors are brown and green, too!! I'd love to have one.

Oinks!!! I spent many hot summer nights there as a child, with some kind of blue or pink ice cream dripping down my chin.... they have lots of fun stuff in there. I always loved their vintage ice...

I would love to have any and all of them, but I think the snack ball is very cool.

I visited their site and found several pieces that I love! There's no way I could ever afford their furniture, but I love the creativity. I've never seen anything like it.

I've known some parents who are very intentional about teaching money management skills to kids, and I hope that I can figure out how to do that when my kids are old enough to grasp the concept. O...

I saw a professional framing job for medals once; they used a white mat on a white background and black frame. It made the colors pop and the medals look very impressive, like something that would...

And I thought I had been downsizing quite a bit this year! But we stopped well short of not owning a home, car or wedding bands. I agree, this is a little extreme and would only work for a select ...

Love the re-do! It seems like the trick is looking for sturdy pieces and shapes/styles that aren't too dated. And then overlooking the ugly finishes and fabric. Great fabric!

I think almost anything oily will work on almost anything sticky. Part of the trick is getting the oil to stay on long enough to really soak in...hence the peanut butter. I have to say, though, t...

Looks really comfy, but I don't have anywhere near enough space for something that huge. I don't have a tree or a yard.

My mom always made them using Tupperware, too! The only flavors we ever had, for some reason, were chocolate pudding and orange juice. Mmm, happy summertime memories.

It's been so long since I went to IKEA on a weekend that I completely forgot it's so crazy. I went there recently on a Tuesday night an hour before closing, and was able to park close, and get in ...

I ran across a Flickr gallery a while ago with tons of unbelievable cupcake designs. My favorites are the Pac Man and Lego ones... ditto on the comment about unraveling the mystery of fondant!

I'm not the old-fashioned type at all, but I still like to send and receive a handwritten note now and then (especially thank-you notes). Cursive of some sort is still a useful skill, though many ...

Cute! It strikes me that this could be a good DIY project, though it is much easier to buy it as a kit.

You can check on the chemicals in any cosmetic item (including baby products) at the Environmental Working Group's cosmetic safety d...
