Wheather you have one child or four, a year apart or thirteen, those infant months will aways be hard. The whole part of parenting is the unexpected - embrace it with the best attitude you can mus...

What great ideas! Even if you aren't into recycling (though I am), you can beat something that is useful and already pre-greased!

When I was little, my mom let us kids have slices of American cheese and poke holes in it to make "swiss cheese". We would make patterns or turn it into cheese "lace" and then eat it! What was al...

Always have a partner/husband/boyfriend who makes you laugh. In the long run, sex doesn't matter as much as a good kiss. Don't trust anyone who can't be kind to animals ...

I agree with Ruby Jane. Sometimes you cook something a little smelly in a cast iron, but you don't want to remove all the seasoning. A little light wash with luke warm water and soap will help an...

The people who complain that it is a tactic that rips off the growers/sellers aren't thinking this all the way through. It is the seller who decides if they want to change/lower the price and poss...

Hey, you TickleMe plant people, why don't you just buy an ad for your product and support the website, instead of spamming up the place?

Regarding that #2 window, sometimes the owner makes the call...

Also, try Walker Zanger for beautiful tile (they are in the S.F. Bay Area also and have local showrooms). But the white subway tile is also a good idea and easily acquired...

The proof is in the pudding. I have seen major funiture retailers go under or cut back in the past two years - Levitz, Breuners, Sears Homelife, Ethan Allen, Thomasville, even Design Within Reach,...

ilovebutter, I totally feel you with the 95% done! I just had my bathroom and pipes done in November and unless your willing to pay the workers to do perfect detail work, there is always something...

I highly recommend gardening as a cure for anything that ails you. It is a healthy occupation that allows you to bring beauty (and even good nutrition) in your life and plants are usually very for...

Gotta tell you - I love Crate and Barrel. Everything I have gotten from them has held up better than stuff I have gotten from the other Big Box stores. It does help that there is an outlet nearby...
