At one co-ed shower I threw, I met each guest at the door of the hall we were using, and steered them to the present table, where the parents-to-be opened the present and exclaimed over its awesome...

We love the radio flyer push wagon, although we killed our backs pushing the boy around in it. It's not especially ergonomic for adults! I like that the sides are removable so you can have high s...

If you want a basic pattern that you can go nuts on, I recommend any of the Knitting Pure and Simple baby patterns - they're perfect top-down cardigans and pullovers that are easy to embellish with...

I don't think you can predict what is/isn't scary. I remember being terrified of a piece of embroidery my aunt made for my room - it was one of those sunbonnet girls holding some flowers, but as f...

We have the Land of Nod chair. So far, Isaac (2yo) is more enthusiastic about the big box the foam pieces came in than he is about the actual chair. I usually put the chair against a ...

If you do get a glider, my favorite thing about mine is the lock on the side that prevents it from gliding when I don't want it to. It also allows me to lock it in tipped-back position, which we u...

Forgot to add - the pressed glass insert is rather substantial and I don't think it would break easily once it's inside the cage.

Those bulkhead lights from home depot are pretty decent; they're actually made of plastic with a glass insert. I spray-painted mine silver (I heart you, Rustoleum Universal) before I put them up, ...

I ordered the La La Love You poster last week, and it arrived today! Can't wait to get it in a frame and up on the wall.

I used a ton of these for my wedding in 2004 and they were surprisingly hard to find! I ended up ordering from here . ...

they lost me at "you're wearing Chanel and J. Crew together on your body..." No. No I am not.

I have the lovely Heywood-Wakefield high chair that my dad sat in as a baby. I made a new oilcloth pad/harness for it and was quite pleased with myself...but honestly, we've ended up using the Fis...

check this site and you can look up the toys you're considering. They're an independent lab that tests toys and kid products for all the major nasties.

That's just lovely! I've had a similar project on the back burner for a while - I want to slipcover the laundry basket that I'm currently using to corral random toys in the boy's room. It's a per...

Man, preemies really do put a cramp on one's holiday decorating! We brought ours home in early December two years ago and haven't gotten a tree up since! How about a garland? You cou...

That ad looks like it's advocating forcing Palin and Biden to marry each other. I certainly can't support that.

Always check magazine price search if you must subscribe - they find the best prices. They don't check the publisher sites, though, so it's always ...

I do more garage sales than thrift stores; better stuff cheaper, plus I love to haggle. The thrift stores in silicon valley are entirely picked over and the prices are crazy. I hate that the peop...

I have this one in the space nursery (along with a matching mirror). I love dolce mia! They have

DahliaCactus, that would be Hubbard Hall.
