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...
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, 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 ...
This is pretty cool. I'm thinking that a carpenter or a really handy DIY-er could make something like this pretty cheaply. I remember the wood loft-style beds from my college dorm days, and addit...

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? :)

Wow, it took me a minute to figure out what those are.
Here are some more recycled feed bag products over at a Fair Trade store that I ran across:
