I just bought the Fred Flare measuring cups last week. They're great; they include not-so-standard sizes like 2/3 cup and 3/4 cup. The Obama dolls, however, are just creepy. Surely you could have f...

I would have loved to live in a place like this when I was a kid!

Oh, I have the cool jewels and the lego ice cube trays! I actually used them to mold chocolate (white, milk, and dark chocolate baking chips) into legos and jewels as favors for my wedding. They lo...

Beautiful! The room is so warm and inviting.

I love the colors, the furniture, and those large, beautiful windows!

I love including broccoli in omelets. I usually mix it in with other veggies (peppers, onions) and sometimes bacon. I also include it in stir fry like lotus moss. So easy to include along with carr...

I'm getting married next week, but didn't register for any China for the same reason binks said. I've been living with my fiance for a year and a half and when we moved in, my boss gave us silverwa...

Same as above. I don't have any room since I live in an apartment, but once I have a larger place, a second freezer is a must.

I'm a fast eater compared to friends and co-workers in social situations. I was always the slowest eater in my family so my parents would always urge me to hurry up. To this date, they still eat mu...

I've moved nearly a dozen times in my life, some with movers, some with family. My last move was from one city in NY to another and I decided to hire movers at the last minute. They were cheap (rec...

I second the "naked" suggestion! I always do this when I travel.

I'm too picky about shampoo, lotion, etc... to steal from hotels. I only use one very specific brand of shampoo and conditioner and I only use one specific brand of lotion. General hotel toiletries...

I'm having my wedding (in a few months) catered. I do love the homemade options, especially on This Young House (http://www.thisyounghouse.com/wedding-album), but I just feel like everyone should d...

Yes, I agree this is so important! When I was apt hunting, I walked by at noon, 3pm, 6pm, and 9pm. That definitely gives you a feel for the neighborhood at different times of the day.

I'm getting married in September and I went to a catering fair a couple months ago that featured a cookie buffet. And you're right. The cookies were a lot better than the cake. I'm not sure if cook...

I think this is always a concern in NYC. One of my friends turned down an apartment because when she asked what the nearest grocery store is, her realtor replied, "well, Target sells food now." She...

Oh, agree with alouishus about rugs. I bought a beautiful berber rug from a warehouse and it's one of the first things people compliment when they visit. Paint if you can; if not use ...

That looks exactly like my cat, even the stray whiskers above the eyes. I'll have to try this. And every cat I know is afraid of vacuum cleaners too.

I got rid of cable, but kept the $8.99 netflix package so I can watch TV shows instantly on my laptop. For the rest of the shows I just use Hulu. Between those two, I can find nearly everything I w...

I grew up eating strawberries dipped in sugar so I'm sure I would love this as well.
