we put christmas stuff up on thanksgiving - so i guess we're guilty of two holidays at once.
patrick, what's the deal with "black friday" and all its connotations? i really don't know...
i don't have placeholder furniture. since i rely on luck for the right thing to turn up at the thrift store, on craigslist, or on the curb, i believe that if i want to replace something, i must ge...
i'm so not sold on this. i can only speak from my own experience as a nursing/working mother of two children, but this just seems way over the top. i've been breastfeeding for the past 4 years (...
i've been trying to keep an eye out for ways to incorporate fun ever since that house tour that used a plush doll in place of a door knob (so the guy was half on one side of the door and half on th...

i thought "tween" meant ages 9 or 10 to 12. like, almost a teen. in that case, i think it would be fine (although, as the mom, my kid's mani/pedi party would happen at home for almost free).
we did this! we live in a two-bedroom bungalow. the finished attic is the second bedroom, and it's all one space. rather than having an adults' bedroom and a kids' bedroom, we use the attic as t...
