Where did you get the robot sticker made? Was it an original design that you had turned into a sticker or is there a place anyone could purchase the giant robot?

Good point about different kids and different tools. A mom did a blog post about giving her child (who was younger than mine) craft sticks and letting her sort them and put them into travel coffee ...

I really like the wrought iron thing on the wall with blankets. Where did you get that? What a great way to store blankets.

It really depends upon your home, doesn't it? I have a 2 bedroom condo with a small living room and no backyard so parties here are doable but they get pretty cramped.

When he was doing bottles of milk, we would have a basket in his room of all of the cloth bibs. Now that he's on solids, I just have one bib and it's a rubber one (kiddopotamus bibbity---jj cole on...

That is very cool. And I love that it can be folded up.

We travel during Thanksgiving and stay at home during Christmas. In Chicago the weather is usually fine around Thanksgiving (cold but not snowy) so car travel is not terribly hectic. But by the t...

I think once in my life I actually roasted the seeds. Usually I look at the big pile of goo and I have no desire at all to fish the seeds out, clean them and roast them. It all goes into the trash.

I do the boxes with sizes labeled on them for storage. That method comes in handy for that. Just in case I have another kid one day, it will be good to know I can grab the box with the NB-3 month...

We just have a small dresser that doubled as a changer so all of the clothes didn't fit after we put sheets and bibs and burp cloths in there. So we hung a lot of them. Carters and Kohls give you ...

I use the same method as complainypants and have never had a problem. Rinse them with hot water pretty quickly to get the milk out of them (or juice) and then put them in the dishwasher's top rack...

I received two baby books and both are pretty empty. Well, one is completely empty and the other only has stuff that happened prior (like baby shower info). That being said we have roughly 200 dig...

I have a cup like the last one only mine is from One Step Ahead. It works OK but not great. If I can get him to sit still and not squirm too much and pour the water, I can rinse pretty well witho...

I think it's nice. I think generally manners are taught at home but some of the more random things that don't get used too often sometimes need to be reinforced by others. I remember having to att...

Not sure I would ever use something like this for overnights but I have many friends with jobs that require odd hours (like 2 a.m. to 9 a.m.) and I could see them relying on something like this if ...

You can buy the plain old legos online at the Lego web site (and also Lego stores if there's one in your mall). In buckets but you can also mix & match certain bricks in colors and shapes.

Gap sells mix and match stuff in really good quality and the sheets are only $20.

I was dying to go to a pumpkin patch but I always have to travel for work in the middle of October. Then it's going to be 40 degrees and rainy this weekend. Bleh. Provided the weather improves, h...

I love the idea of a name sign in the nursery but I hate that almost every one out there is around $20/letter. With a 6-letter name . . . that would cost me more than $100 before shipping.

I'm very anti-clutter. No dishes in the sink ever. No big piles of jackets out. Shoes can be left out on one little rug I have by the door. My downfall is mail . . . I have a box that it is supp...
