So the tea gown evolved into hostess pajamas 50 years later?

I am looking for a nightstand in this very shape! Has anyone seen anything similar?

The zippered canvas Reisenthel storage boxes available at the Container Store fit nicely in the cubbies of the Expedit. We use them for our daughter's clothes in her room, and for her toys in the ...

I'm clearly a nerd because my first thought was "hey, it's a cardioid!". I like it.

The croissant French toast sounds wonderful. Lazy people can also buy pear sauce at Trader Joe's. My one year old loves it!

I'm just not offended enough by standard tissue boxes to want to pull my tissues out of a slice of watermelon. This is about two steps away from a crocheted toilet paper doll. The Tra...

We moved not too long ago, and I did a big purge then, so I'm more about organizing things efficiently in the new space. I cleaned out my nasty fridge last week, and organized a contentious cupboa...

We took our daughter to the UK at 7 months, and she did great. She did not sleep on the 10-hour flight over, partly because the plane was full of New and Exciting Things and she didn't...

These are horrible, horrible designs. The first one is dark and off-putting, and the second one is a standard-issue apartment kitchen. I feel better about having given up cable TV now.

I'd say just get ONE safe place you can put the babe down... Agreed. Bonus if it is portable; then you can take the baby into the room with you when you are cooking or in the s...

Only the Bugaboo Frog and Cameleon require you to take the seat off the stroller to fold it. The Bee folds all in one piece. You do need two hands, though. We walk a lot, and have ca...

In our house we'd just get into arguments like whether The Grapes of Wrath belongs in Oklahoma or California.

Without the shoes, it's not my thing, but not un-cute. With the shoes, it becomes bizarre and hideous.

We have a very large clock that gets a lot of love, even though it doesn't quite keep the right time. Also, we have a very large book collection. Of all the many interesting volumes, ...

I have used the baking soda/hot water/aluminum foil trick. It works! It got rid of the tarnish on a silver bracelet in less than a minute.

One night roommate agreed to let my boyfriend stay over. She'd met him many times. It's 3 AM. BF and I are sound asleep. Roommate comes home, drunk off her ample patootie. She clim...

Cute, but one could sew these at home for a dollar's worth of fake fur and a half hour's time.

My hair needs a fresh wash and a blow dry in the morning to not look awful. But it only really needs the dryer for the finishing touches. The current strategy is to wash my hair, towe...
