Amen to the poster who mentioned the travel tent. We travel all the time with our 22 month old. We got the tent when he was about 4 months and he loves it. He's so used to it, he has the same 'v...
This comment is a little late, but to the person who asked how to keep them--my grandpa freezes them in small batches. He uses ziploc freezer bags. He just thaws them in the fridge for a day or t...

Congratulations on the new home! It looks wonderful!
I would urge you to consider living with the wall "as is" for awhile before you make any decisions. It's so tempting to want ever...
I agree with laughing sarah! Every baby (and mom!) is different. It would be amazing if we could know ahead of time what works!
For me--I found that nursing a baby ALL THE TIME mak...
Bright white couch with yellow pillows (or other fun color). My white couch is slipcovered and I wash the covers from time to time--easy and beautiful!
We have a similar set-up. I moved the TV to the far right of our credenza, then 'decorated' around it: a stack of coffee table type books on the left with a small pot of ivy, and some small frame...
I've lived my whole life in the deep south (still am here!) and my family on both sides is southern for generations. I think the most obvious way the south varies from other regions' styles is ext...
