ok, this house has great character and I do like the red, so keep it, but remove it from the shingles over the front porch. Definitely add large planters on either side of the door with greens/flow...

two years ago we became converts to eating out on thanksgiving. it was blissful. just hubby, me and our baby. for the last 10 years, every other thanksgiving has been spent at my in-laws. the food ...

I used the same dresser as a changing station for my baby. I simply kept diapers and wipes in the top drawer, with smaller items (lotion, diaper cream, aspirator, etc.) in a small bin inside the dr...

I always manage to forget that I need a punch bowl until the need actually arises, and then it's too late! These are great suggestions. Putting it on my wish list.

I've wondered about the climbing, too, as I've considered this shelf over and over again. My toddler has managed to use the drawer knobs on his dresser as toe-holds to climb up. I fear maybe the c...

I'm not fond of too many toys. Unfortunately, my husband really is a kid at heart and my mother thinks buying toys is equal to buying love from her grandson. The toy cars are out of control. Not to...

I've had 2 babies. And I can honestly say the hunger and cravings I experienced during pregnancy were nothing compared the the hunger I experienced post-partum. I was famished constantly. I had pre...

nobody wants oak cabinets anymore. so paint away if you are very inclined. Be sure to research the project thoroughly before starting. new hardware, light fixtures, window treatment go a long way, ...

I'm a fan.

I see myself asking questions about the type of entertainment at the party, what adults will be in attendance, etc. I honestly don't see sleep-overs in my kids' futures--too many horrible things (a...

it's darling, but the interior set up is odd. That big cabinet takes up all the space; the desk placement is weird. Seems this would really only be practical in a very mild climate. With plenty of ...

costco sells a tent/tunnel combo for under $30 that my toddler loves. 3 tunnels, 2 tents (one looks like a house). Big hit with playmates also. They scrunch up into a storage sack that fits easily ...

ooohI Love murano glass. thanks for sharing this. I'm lovesick for italy.

It would be hard to match SLC's successes in the winter olympics 2000, fiscally, and civically. Chicago has a lot to offer culturally: cuisine, arts, shopping, but seems to have big problems with m...

those cute shelves seem to have precariously perched books upon them...is it really ok to place shelves with loose objects above a crib?

I think subway tile looks best when complemented by another texture like wood. I also think it looks great in a bright color like sunshine yellow or apple green, with light grout. These bathrooms a...

always do fall cleaning. gets me all ready for indoor activities and craft projects, and also for more intense cooking and baking. it's my favorite time of year!

I was anti-kid leashes until my little boy turned 2. Defiant, willful, boundlessly energetic. Really, he was trying to climb the animal enclosures at the zoo. Trying to remove the koi from the pond...

my two boys are 3 and 7 months respectively, and both have been great bed-timers from just a couple of months old. We tried to make bedtime a special, happy time they could expect. Bath. PJs. Brush...

cute, though my three year old would inevitably conceive one as a sword, a gun, a horse, a wand, etc. and attempt to use it accordingly.
