I recently used Martha Stewart's Basic Sugar Cookie Recipe. It was a very good dough, easy to work with and simple to make. Here's the link:

We have the ikea slide and our 2 year old loves it. It doesn't take up too much room and is the perfect size for her. We just had a few friends over with their 3 & 6 year old children and it was a ...

My 2 year old daughter needs a whole menagerie of animals and friends. Some are more important than others but they all need to be there. The most important, and ones she cannot sleep away from, a...

There was a post on here back in June that had a quilted crib rail. It would work for the straight sides and perhaps it could be modified to have elastic or something to help in stay in place on th...

We have the Phil & Ted and can't say enough good things about it. It's very compact and light weight. We've used it camping and in hotels/homes. It has a relatively small footprint so it doesn't ta...

Baby number 2 needed the crib so converting it to a toddler bed was not an option for us. We went straight to the twin bed with a rail when my daughter was 20 months. It took about a week to convin...

You could look at some of the baby food recipes. There are several that involve blending meat and vegetables. You could add more spice than the recipe to give it a little kick. I really like www.wh...

Ikea has some nice sparkling beverages--peach, pear, apple. Also, my husband got some when I was pregnant and I think the name was "Fre." I remember it being very good. I think this is it:

I agree that Flor tiles are really easy to install and I have found that they wear really well. You can always rotate them around when you clean them to avoid wear in a specific area. If you don't ...

We have the tiny love brand play mat. I like that it has toys hanging down to play with. I could do without the lights and sounds but they are not too bad. It's bright but not too over-the-top. I t...

I have one and will post tonight after work as well. My recipe uses cream, not evaporated milk like the one above, and has you finish it with butter and cinnamon (maybe something else too, can't re...

I know you said you weren't a big fan of mashed potatoes but I made these potato croquettes with my leftover Thanksgiving mashed potatoes and they were incredible. I think you could probably freeze...

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...
