Yeah, I wish I could vacuum or mop once a month! I sweep our kitchen twice a day, mop once a week (but really it needs it twice a week), and vacuum twice a week. I do have a small dog and two small...

We usually drink water with dinner. Maybe beer with Mexican food. If we have sweet tea, I drink that. No wine with dinner since it makes me feel quite sleepy the rest of the evening and after mt gi...

We have two of these and they are in use all day long. They are the only thing I feel comfortable standing on to reach top cabinets since our chairs are a little wobbly. Also, they are great for my...

I loved these as a kid. They were one of the toys me and my little sister always fought over. I will have to be on the lookout now.

I suggest Heifer International, even though they are not on the list. Is that possible?

I would agree with voting for Heifer International. They are one of my favorites.

I love having a dictionary just because it makes my house feel homey to me, but truth be told I usually look things up online. I love when my kids ask me a question and we get to go look it up on t...

If you are looking for something made out of natural materials, then corolle dolls will not do it. We have received a few for presents and they are made of plastic and have a very artificial smell ...

The article says they will sell them in 2010.

It isn't the image of illness that would bother me. I actually think it is kind of fun looking. I would never do it though. I do not ever want my children to think that there is food inside of a pi...

I am in Tennessee and when I was in Publix last week and saw a large display with cards to mail in if we supported the the selling of wine in grocery stores. I grabbed a handful to pas out to frien...

I love this, but no way! If my kids color on their bed or clothes with chalk, it wipes off. If they color on anything with dry erase markers, it is very hard if not impossible to remove. We do a lo...

I cut the sugar in half for the batter and the berries. I still think it was sweet and very good.

I almost always use coupons. I shop at the farmers' market a lot when it is open (only two more months!) and also only buy grass fed organic meat. I buy no junk food , but I still use lots of coupo...

asparagus, strawberries, and beets

These are lovely and I would love to have them fill a nice little bowl, but they are far too pricey. I have yet to pay for a rock, so why start now?

I eat meat, but I find it funny that they are running Meat/Unmeat month for all of Lent. I am sure far from everyone who reads this site observes the season of Lent, but it is still odd.

I just discovered these on Bakerella's blog and my daughter fell in love with the hello Kitty version. This will definitely be an idea we use at her next birthday party.

I second the question of butchers in Nashville. Any ideas?

I liked the idea of the learning tower, but the thought of spending so much money on it just wasn't going to happen. Instead, we got two wooden step stools from Ikea, one for each girl. Now they ca...
