The plaid jumper was my favorite...I could color some mean crazy plaids back in the day!

reminds me of when my sister worked at a chocolate factory and would bring home the rejects...probably perfectly good, but oh so ugly!

A cheap bubble machine from Target and they'll go wild. Let them all help open the gifts and that will be further entertainment. To keep cake mess to a minimum, I always bake cupcak...

The most important high chair features, ranked in order of importance: 1. easy to clean, with no cracks or crevices around tray or in chair pad 2. tray that can be removed/adjusted with...

We have this hanging over our dining room and everyone always LOVES it. It's totally unexpected in what is otherwise a very midcen home (mahogany walls, stone fireplace, cork floor). I needed a p...

We have that fourth one as a twin for our son. It does not have a headboard...each end is the same. It is cheap pressboard but pretty sturdy. It looks cheap, which is the biggest problem with i...

Schnappycat, We have the Guenther Family high chair and love it. Be sure your table doesn't have an apron...none of these will likely fit if it does.

I made sheets with clip art pictures on them. The morning sheet had a crib (put your blankie back in your crib), a laundry basket (put your pj's in the laundry), and a toothbrush (brush your teeth...

I sit in the back and, when needed, take them out of the room! Yes, I miss the wedding, but no one else is distracted. If at all possible, I leave them home.

IKEA has one in white that covers the entire door, with many, many pockets. They are deep pockets in two orientations, verticle or horizontal. It holds so much that my son, age 6, uses it in lieu...

Also try your local courthouse. I'm starting a non-profit here in Milwaukee that will supply a playroom at our courthouse. You'd be surprised how many children have to come along to their parents...

Wild Animal Baby is expensive, but of heavy card stock...almost like a board book. We've saved each issue and they've lasted through two kids. They will autmomatically upgrade you to My Big Backy...

Star3night, I always just used a receiving blanket I tucked into the handle above the door. I held a corner out when I shut the door so it would be trapped. A little flap would be hanging ou...

I also disagree about the doula part. We had one for my first and didn't for my second. The only reason my hubby felt comfortable without was becase he had been through it with one the first time...

The baby will outgrow that in about 10 seconds. But they'll get it terribly gross first.

Call Larry at Royal Upholstery in Racine, WI. I have used them several times and have recommended to many friends. Impeccable work and a good price.

Work things go in a Franklin-Covey planner that fits in my purse and never leaves my side. Home things for all four of us go on a MomAgenda weekly calendar that hangs on the fridge, which my husba...

We have this one. We kept it inside all winter and it was the hit of the neighborhood, from the 2 year olds on up...

Yes, great job. What beautiful heirlooms these will be, too.
