Awesome! My nephew's do this at school (in Japan), and there are some places, like temples and shrines, that also do this (with bamboo, as Jenzoe says).

I have a drop side and am very fond of it. Never had a problem with it malfunctioning with 2 nephews and my daughter. I liked the drop side because I was not one who could put my daughter to bed aw...

I would love to NOT open presents, but it seems to be a BIG part of the party in my husband's family. I have tried to not open presents, but the guests complain and keep asking when they are going ...

what does one do when you actually have a passenger? Middle of the backseat sounds good, but it looks like it has to hook to the headrest...which makes it not quite as useful as it could be.

I have received gifts from friends that use gift closest/boxes/whatever. Sometimes it works out well, but not always, although the same is true whether you have a gift closet or not. ...

The colors aren't too bad, but that twin bed looks way too much like a prison bunk for my taste.

I have a Peg Perego, one of the biggest high chairs out there, as does my sister-in-law. We both got ours used, at a consignment sale, which helps save on the cost. They have wheels, and the wheels...

I saw a posting elsewhere (sorry, can't remember where) that you can find the PB chair inserts on ebay for pretty cheap - last I checked, they were $35, then you can get the slipcover and put it to...

In the PI, I had cheese ice cream, which tasted like cheesy popcorn. Down in TX, I had a Guiness Stout ice cream for St. Patrick's Day, which was delicious.

I only buy it if I have a plan to make several items that use it, but otherwise, I use the powdered version.

I totally wash my mushrooms. I used to wipe them with a wet towel, but it took far too long to get them really clean. Plus, I found that it sometimes tears the tender tops of them, so it was just e...

I don't think my hubby would use it, so it'd be my Compaq.

Well, I like them best as they are! Boring, I know. They are great alongside a traditional Philippino breakfast. I'd also like to try making them with bananas in turon (http://www.opensourcefood.co...

this was always a standard project in kindegarten and 1st grade when I was a kid - at least where I grew up. My sister, cousin and I all did this project at least twice in school. The best was when...

Due to pre-existing remodeling, we are lucky enough have two living rooms, side-by-side, one is a designated kid-zone, so we would put it there where our daughter can lounge or play. BTW, she loves...

I agree with "eowes" - each kid is so different. My daughter and nephew are only 8 weeks apart, and couldn't be more different if they tried. We only have a couple of cabinets with latches on them ...

Oh, I love that shine nursery lamp - it's so much cooler than the character themed ones dominating the stores around here.

Thank you for the opportunity - I am crossing my fingers and toes for the books!

Hmm. Guess I'm too cheap. I've just been getting the CDs from the library and importing them into itunes, then I can make my own 'playlist' just exactly like it was on the mixtape. Any CDs the libr...

I think nutmeg - I have a hard time grating it by hand.
