I only used disposabe and am feeling guilty! but I don't think you're supposed to use tea tree oil on kids....my OB definitely told me not to use it when pregnant. I'd check with the ...

my kid doesn't watch TV anyway, but my general impression is that a TV in child's room is not recommended. as seen here: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id...

this is a fun room, but OH MY GOD a four year old needs a TV/VCR in his room? seriously?

oy. strawberry shortcake looks a bit too kinderwhore for me.

sign me up! although I have no idea what email address I used to register...

I feel like Keely is asking for a list, not one. so here's my list, from what I remember ("baby" now almost two): - diaper bag or regular bag big enough to haul baby stuff (like to go...

I love the lighting fixture! where is it from?

I third phoneill's criticism! why are toys so super-gendered these days? and clothes, too! I miss the 70s. some clothes were ugly, but they weren't so pink.

most people in the rest of the country have to do *some* work to get to a grocery store - get on a bus, call a cab, drive, etc. if some of the horrid "grocery" stores in new york are shutting down...

we like living small. we are happy living small. but we are at a point where we are really struggling with squeezing all of our activities into our small space. we are currently a f...

No hard feelings from me - thanks for clarifying. I get a little defensive and probably read more into your comment than was there in the first place - even without clarification. and...

anything that doesn't matter by the time the child is 30 seems fine to me. Co-sleeping is not my style, and I treasure the quiet evening time I have once my daughter goes to sleep in her crib and ...

I think the one area where any sort of disguise/deception is totally OK is when you have an underweight child. I have two friends who have underweight children and their mealtimes are extremely st...

shoes off in our house, but we're not nazis about it. the challenge with an open rack like the one above (and the ikea one we currently have) is that we have totally ruined the wall - it's all scu...

such great (and really thorough!!) suggestions! I just wanted to echo what others said about adding a seat of some sort - the classic gliders are pretty hideous, but if you buy a cheaper one (thin...

I didn't do it on the exact same day, but took at least one picture sometime during each month. I picked out 12 and got 5x7 prints made and hung them up as part of the decorations for my daughter'...

we also have tons of stuff in our apt that we don't need every single day (travel/umbrella stroller, carseat). depending on your situation, maybe you could box some of that up and store it with fr...

we have a micralite which I partially love (great tires, folds easily, incredibly light, cool design), and partially don't (doesn't recline, handles are a little short for tall people). but overal...

this is horrid. I would even take an escher poster over this. ugh.
