How about: surround yourself with people who have events that are fun and inclusive instead of stiff and formal, and you won't have to worry about anyone having adults-only weddings or an event tha...

Seriously. Just get a twin bed. If you're thinking your kid is ready to be out of a crib, but not sure how the bed thing is going to go, try a week of crib-mattress-on-floor. If it goes well, then ...

Fun post, but hopefully people don't have more than a couple of these lying around, especially if they've got kids under three. Toys without batteries encourage pretend play, which is a component o...

Oh, even worse...was browsing around the site in more depth to see if there was anything I actually liked (most everything is either way femme, or it's a dogtag, and I don't really like the idea of...

I like the idea of non-kitschy kid mementos (as in, it's not some godawful locket or something). The style of this necklace is too femme for me though. I wish they came in more styles.

The people who can afford big but are choosing small should absolutely be thanked, because they're trying to take steps to live sustainably. My family is more than comfortable in our 1...

Not sure on the brand, but they don't really look that different from ones currently made. Google "trouser clamps" or go to the Container Store.

Why not give away something high in nutrients and vegan to expectant mothers? That would seem more logical.

If you're trying to be green, the first step would be not to have the meat in the first place. Its production is harming the planet much more than eco-unfriendly cleansers.

1) keep vegan -- the biggest waste of energy and resources in our society is animal products, which there's absolutely no reason to use for food/clothing/decor/etc. 2) walk/bike/take p...

What's with the recent trend of all the AT sites focusing on binary gender? And to answer the question: Raise your kids in a family and community where gender and sex aren't a big deal...

@brrrlington: YES! @paperdolls: Beautifully put. @1mommy: [rolls eyes, types run-on sentence with random caps and punctuation] @funstraw: Yep, plus there's ju...

Are male children not allowed to play with it?

This is news? We've already known that high lead levels are linked to lower IQs and especially difficulty with impulse control and executive functioning. Is it rocket science that people who have l...

Those are really great. I like the first two more handmade-looking ones a lot better than the last one (which screams "store-bought scrapbooking crap.")
