a couple of years ago I was alone for thanksgiving. I was working full time and in grad school and exams were coming up. I knew that I couldn't get all my work done and fly home, so I stayed in tow...

I think in many ways it is a good idea, but I also think the picture is a little strange. I really hope that grandparents aren't asking their young grandchildren for help filling it in.

I love how tipsy they all seem in those videos. but how did they get so drunk if they didn't have a corkscrew?

I have seen these in the llbean catalog and considered buying one (I have an llbean card so shipping should be free)--I live on the 3rd floor without an elevator and kind of liked the idea of makin...

absolutely adorable! happy birthday!

I know it probably isn't as healthy as you are hoping--but I am giving away microwave popcorn this year. they had a big box of individually wrapped halloween bags of popcorn at sam's club. it didn'...

I hate to be that commenter, but you guys just wrote about this in july. I remember it because I bookmarked it and pulled the link up earlier today to think about ordering them since I am about to ...

this is cute, but I was really hoping that a full name would be cheaper than buying the letters individually. unfortunately, it still ends up being $18 a letter (not including shipping)!

the help us learn our ABCs one was completed 2 days ago by JP Morgan Chase.

I picked up a le creuset buffet casserole (the 3 and 1/2 quart one) on sale last year with this exact idea in mind. it is perfect! the dish goes from stovetop to oven to table and because it is cas...

adorable baby legs and great name!

for all of the people recommending baby legs, I have a question--how much give do they have? my baby has really chubby legs, she is a big girl (19 pounds at 4 months) and I worry that...

I have always been the delay gratification person. when I was a kid I would save the best halloween candy for ages. usually by the time I was ready for it, my dad had secretly finished it off!
