My daughter was content to stay in her crib, sides and all, until she was 3. She never climbed out or expressed any impatience with being stuck in there. However, she did get too big. Switching ...

This is totally reversed in my house. My husband has always been the one waking up with our daughter. Now that she's big enough to wander into our room at night, she doesn't even bother coming ov...

We went down to "basic" cable. We plug into the wall and get about 20 stations, plus the few extras in HD that our TV manages to pick up on its own. I miss the variety but we've joined the gym wi...

Cute! Very Scandinavian.

I'm woodland-neutral but I think this is pretty cute.

I never do real trees anymore. At first it was a health thing (all that pollen and mold and standing water in the house... no thank you) but after about a week with a fake green tree I was really ...

Now, the children's museum is a nice idea! Too bad we don't have one in my area.

Venue parties almost always require you to wear some kind of communal shoe (ice skates, bowling shoes, climbing shoes). And the places usually smell like feet (or worse - ever been to a horseback ...

I think it's kind of cute. Looks comfy, too. But that tray is way too small for any self-feeding kid to appreciate.

Weird that they wouldn't let you paint over such a dramatic color. But good job working around it!

I love it! I live with my husband and 3 year old daughter in an 1150 square foot townhouse. When baby number two comes along we will probably sell it and move...but only to a 1200 squ...

I love that you left carpet in the room. I think a kid's room should be comfortable and, until they get past the crawling phase, all these hard floors are just the opposite.

They just look felted to me. And, for as long as most nursery items stay put, I would be happier just punching circles out of craft store felt and stringing those up. Five bucks to beautiful! :)

Cute! You could also repurpose a medicine cabinet for a similar solution.

Cute! Love the cupcake blog! But, to be perfectly honest, if your kid likes Spongebob I say just let him like it. Everyone these days wants to boycott the popular characters just bec...

Potty training is really not THAT hard. And you wont traumatize your child by taking them out of diapers. It's all in the approach and I honestly think if you communicate with your child and invo...

There's no way my daughter would go for this. She's only interested in her own productions.

Wow! Very expensive for something that is probably going to have stickers and crayon scribbles all over it at some point.

The water heater. At our inspection we were told that basically it was improperly installed and could fail at any moment. We have a home warranty so the repair would be easy and inexpensive but t...

A laundry room. A huge one with a wall full of cabinets that would make Martha Stewart proud.
