livc, maybe you can shop year round at a farmer's market in LA, but here in the northeast and midwest, I can assure you I wouldn't be getting fresh local fruits and veg at this time of year! ;) It ...

I heard the big anticipated problem for the DC storm is that it's supposed to be a heavy snow, which could mean a lot of downed power lines and electricity problems. I agree that the DC area tends...

I'd just watch Craigslist for vintage or antique sets, personally. The picture attached to the question is pretty classic and simple--if that's what you want, I've seen lots of sets on Craigslist ...

Awesome! It actually makes me wish I had a plywood floor I could paint, and that's saying something! I love how you got creative and created a gorgeous look out of something as lowly as a plywood...

Hmm, this seems to work nicely on white furniture, but what am I to do with my bold plaid couch?

I'd be careful with any creamy yellows or taupes, if I were you. I have a similar kind of entryway and hall, and the previous owners chose a creamy/buttery yellow for the walls, and a kind of grey...

This is timely, thanks. Although, it doesn't look like the BabyBjorn is $19 anymore--the link he provides to Amazon has it as low as $22, depending on the color. They seem to be $30 at Target. T...

I was going to say the same thing. And I'm glad you brought this up--it's a good idea to store away in case we ever have the same issue you're having--I can imagine that wouldn't be pleasant.

Aww, super cute, especially with its little bug feet and antenna. I have no need for this, but now I really want one. Curse you, AT. lol. The website says it's 249,000.00 KRW, which the interne...

looks great!

Well, the "before" is more my style (cozy and vintage, not that it couldn't have used some improvements), but I'm impressed by the after--I'd have never thought you could get such a finished/clean ...

Ok, that's awesome, and I'm jealous. Nice job. :)

I like the bed, and I wouldn't paint it. I like the common suggestion of going with mostly white elsewhere in the room. While your curtains are nice and do "go with" the bed, I think they play up...

Off topic, but I think I love that couch--does anyone know where it's from??

I logged on to say exactly the same as what starcaro just reported. We own a house that had a full Ikea kitchen intalled shortly before we bought it, about 7 years ago. I've always hated it becau...

mschatelaine, I'm familiar with the baby led weaning method described in the BBC article you posted, but I don't think it's right for everyone. My daughter had breastmilk exclusively until she was...

I made all the infant food for my daughter in much the same way as this site describes, and for all the same reasons. People I've talked to seemed to feel like making your own baby food is some so...

My young toddler *won't* sleep anywhere but her crib (or the carseat/stroller if we happen to be going somewhere, or in my arms if she's exhausted enough). If we don't put her in the crib when she...

Mmmm, the first bed looks so cozy and delicious. Sigh.

I used to live in an apartment in a 3 story duplex. My roommate and I often left our apartment door unlocked because we knew the tenants on the other floors and felt fine with them, and the front ...
