People are paying $5.00/lb for lamb's quarter? I'm in the wrong business. But then again, I'm amazed that people in my area will pay $5.00 for a pint of blackberries whil...

I'm experimenting this year--What I have down for mulch is two layers of paper bags (I work at a grocery store, so that part was easy) followed by cotton-seed hulls. So far, the plants are happy an...

If you grow determinate types of tomatoes, you can use a plastic milk jug... but you would probably want to create some kind of cover for it just so you're not looking at a milk jug all the time.

How strange that I never thought about growing beets in containers. It makes sense, though, considering that the clay-based soil we've got in Kansas makes it impossible to grow carrots unless they'...

Toilet-- Sprinkle inside the bowl with baking soda, let the soda set for a few minutes, then come back and spray with straight vinegar. Swish a toilet brush around, and you're good to go. This actu...

I made one of these, but only a small container size (think pencil holder). I'm in awe of this girl, because I can't imagine having the attention span to do all that.

I'm thinking this might be my next project... Not for a nursery, but possibly as a makeshift headboard. Hmmmm

'unequivocal sheepy finish'--Sounds awesome. Sorry, my ADHD could only focus on that one phrase.

Absolutely beautiful. I am so happy to see people moving away from pastels in nurseries.

My mom has several Wolfgang Puck pieces, which are amazing. I really want a set of RR pans. Mostly because all of mine are old and gross and from garage sales.

When I was little, my mother did make us try things, but that's not what got us eating more variety. She was young and single and often made things for herself to eat, thinking we wouldn't like it....

We have a Dirt Devil D2 Reaction. We bought it because we couldn't afford a Dyson, and then later realized that this is actually better reviewed than the dysons are.

Isn't $750 kind of steep for five shelves? Don't get me wrong, they are beautiful... But I think I might just talk to my brothers about having some built, instead.

I like the idea of this, but I prefer the stained window glass you can get at any nearly any craft store, or even Wal-Mart. You can do any design you want, it's fairly easy to do once you get the h...

What a doll! Happy Birthday, Margot!

Frozen waffles make awesome teethers. They're cold, and the holes and the texture of it really soak up some slobber. Or, there are homeopathic teething tablets that rock for those fus...

I cut them into strings and crochet them into really cool totes and purses. (They also make some neat beach/pool bags)

I don't know about classes, but for the littlest guys, doing things like grocery shopping as a family outing ("everyone pick out one fruit and one vegetable you'd like to eat this week") is somethi...
