This actually seems much more complicated to me and a lot less fun. I can see it working well on vacations or maybe even on those mornings when a few minutes makes all the difference, but every da...

Just chiming in to say I agree on ditching the stroller and going with a sling/baby carrier. We travelled a lot with our daughter when she was a baby and always found that we were far more mobile ...

Wow, that's a lot of sugar in one small bite. I think most kids would be happy with just the marshmallow on a stick.

That's not a toddler bed. It's a crib with a hole in the side -- a potentially dangerous hole at that (I'm with you, charmgirl).

Brilliant -- you deserve a medal for this!

We have VIA toy boxes in an odd space under our eaves and love them. See them here: http://icewerks.blogspot.com/2009/05/frid...

I second the sheepskin idea -- no sewing required, easy to adjust, and more modern looking than most pre fab seat cushions. Plus, you can move it to the floor or use it as a playmat when you no lo...

pared down beautifully and very soothing color choices...

Have you considered a gift certificate to a local yarn store instead? If she's an avid knitter, she probably already has some patterns picked out and might rather prefer to stock up on the yarn to...

It's cool looking and all, but really it's just another one-task appliance to take up kitchen space. I think I'll stick to my glass covered pot -- you can still see the kernels pop but it is the u...

I'm noise sensitive and suffer from migraines -- bring on the quiet furniture!

We went with this daybed from Ikea http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/30080316 with the intention of using it as a guest be...

There is an Ikea in Montreal -- what about the good ol' Gulliver crib capped off with a dresser like the Mandal or Malm series?

Such a warm and inviting room that feels like a child actually lives in it. Great job.

Oh, she should have kept the wheels! Great kitchen, great hack.

I know that overwhelming urge to have everything in place before the first labor pains hit, but it really is impossible to predict what will work best for each child. There is no right or wrong an...

Oh yes please pick us. We have a 21 month old and desperately need something new to read!

I like the shaker style with a leather strap instead of a hook if I'm hanging things from a wall peg, like these:
