Boiled peanuts are one of my absolute favorite snacks. Yum!

I was just thinking that- my cat would love to scratch that thing.

I love it, as it's not hideous and would fit perfectly on my balcony. I do prefer (of course) the $600 one- which seems a bit pricey for the size. I think the hubby would adore this, ...

My mother is Italian, so all pasta in my house is cooked al dente. I can't stand mushy pasta, or pasta that falls apart as soon as you touch it with a fork.

I lived in a building in Logan Square (built in 1914) with two (and a half) bedrooms, newer windows, and a boiler from the 1940s- seriously. Our gas bill ran around $450 a month in the...

Not at all. My apartment is a 1920s flat decorated in art deco style- black, bronze, golds, and creams- and my wardrobe is far more colourful- filled with lots of aqua, orange, and royal purple. I ...

It's so quaint and lovely. I'd love to live there!

Absolutely delicious!

Too funny- my sister-in-law just named her daughter Lyla May.

I absolutely love hibiscus.

I would live in one of these- it's nice to see prefab at a much more reasonable price. My only qualm is that I have a little one on the way and couldn't deal with being in a separate building from ...

Love the chair with the floral print upholstery. I may have to stop by there tomorrow.

As a Yorkshire girl living in Chicago, I love it. It's a bit of home, really.

These would make great tea towels!

There is a term for this in marketing: 'cradle to grave'. Baby wears disposable diapers with Mickey Mouse on them, grows up eating celery, apples, and eggs with Disney characters on th...
