mel11--Thanks for the information. I'm so glad this posting came up. The uneven and poorly operating drawers drive my husband crazy! I'm calling Oeuf customer service first thing tomorrow. I hope I...

Called customer service because the white finish of our crib was chipped by some careless movers and they sent paint to fix it immediately. Haven't asked for replacement on anything. Also, what's w...

Thank you so much for your kind comments. The curtain track for the top bunk is from ikea. It's called kvartal: http://www....

Complainypants--if you're traveling with someone else, pre-reserve a window and aisle seat towards the back of the plane. I've had several flight attendants and gate agents tell me this increases t...

We have the mobile pictured on the bottom right and it is beautiful--truly a work of art. We know that it will have a place in our home long after our children have outgrown their nurseries.

It reminds me of the egg space ship from Mork & Mindy.

I think a jell-o mold screams 1950s. I was shocked to see how many recipes are available. Some are scary combinations like the fake meat/cheese pineapple mentioned above.

We have the ikea doormat pictured above. Although it is nice to look at it is not a very good doormat if your door is exposed to the rain. It soaks up water like a sponge and doesn't release it. Ev...

When I click on the thumbs up, I get the following message: "Thumbs Up voting for this entry is closed." Let me vote!! This room is great.

Schoki4me-- Gowns are great!! I used them for my daugther in place of pjs for the first 6 months or so. The best part is that during the half-asleep diaper change there are no snaps or button...

We had it and it was such a mess. My daughter never really liked it and I didn't like the mess. After a couple of tries, we were both done.

At my daughter's daycare they made a butterfly where the wings were handprints--they drew the body and then placed the handprints like wings. My daughter's 17 months but I think a 9.5 month old cou...

Mmmm...breaded and fried. My grandparents used to go mushrooming, bring them back and fry them. It was a meal we looked forward to every year.

I think Alice Waters' The Art of Simple Food is a great book for learning technique and how to make the most out of simple, fresh, seasonal ingredients. There are not a lot of pictures, just simple...

I downloaded Peekaboo Barn for my iPhone too and it has saved me from the total meltdown of a 17 month-old on more than one occasion. We definitely interact with her when she's using the iPhone so ...

This was on the Martha Stewart Show the other day. Instructions and templates are on her website:

The Argington Uffizi Bunk Beds are modern and less expensive than the Nurseryworks: http://www.shopbabybliss.com/product.php?id=92. The...

Anyone have any other good sources for these types of chandeliers? I'm thinking of using one in my daughter's room and have been looking at both new and antique versions. My concern with an antique...

My mother-in-law created a Christmas tree out of the old baby food jars she had from when my husband was little. She glued (I assume hot glue) them together in the shape of a tree with the bottom o...

Also in Le Sportsac is the Stella McCartney LeSportsac oversized carryall. Right now they're 50% off. It even has bottle pockets. This might be a better size than the other Le Sportsac bags mention...
