I love the idea of using the plastic drawers for gift storage. I was fortunate enough just once to have a place with a huge linen closet, so I was able to use half of it as a gift closet. Ever si...

Yes but only when invited.

Has anyone tried these? Are they really as easy to change as it sounds?

Ditto HeatherAB's comments on moleskin notebooks!!! I love them and have recently gotten myself the DC Cityguide version. It has a DC map and metro map inside, plus tabs for dining, events, conta...

I think this is a cool idea for displaying your children's artwork.

Ditto erin79's comments on the Persian cucumbers. I can only find them at one particular vendor at my farmer's market but they're great. I'm going to miss them when the season is over (sigh).

When I had a tiny apartment in DC (the kitchen was the smaller than my current closet!) I hung one in the bathroom for towels & TP, and one two in the kitchen; one for fresh fruit and veggies and ...

Oh I like this! I can especially see it mounted behind a desk or entertainment center, where it's easy to reach!

Thanks for the instructions, this is our first year with a CSA and we've already been thinking we'd like to freeze some veggies to enjoy through the winter. Do other summer veggies (peas, beans, e...

I used to dislike them and aren't fond of their scent. However since buying a house with a larger garden than I have time for, I've come to love them. They're pretty much maintenance free and dro...

bemyescape, you've gotta get a doxie, they're the best!

We have a Doxie and a 6-month-old Pitt Bull, and either one can destroy a toy within 24 hours, with two exceptions; Kong toys and home-made sock toys. The Kongs are self-explanatory, available at ...

I haven't used them myself, but just read an interesting review on Olive's Smart Sack sets (read about it on today's posting at http://www.coolmompicks.com/...

Yes my husband is a slob - and he did a decent job of hiding it from me for the time we were dating and then the six months we lived together before getting married! I swear he doesn't notice the ...

Great idea! We're finishing our basement and I've been trying to decide what to do with the boring white wooden staircase (which never looks white due to scuff marks, etc). While I like how stenc...

yeah we gave up on towel bars not too long ago (four boys, need I say more?) and went the hook route ... don't ask me why they could never remember to hang up their towels on bars but they do it fo...

I'm at a loss of what to do with fish on the grill ... I'd like to try it but somehow am intimidated ... what are some easy starter recipies?

Anyone have an idea of their price range? And is this something one could easily install on their own?

Hmmm, worst mess in my home ... Ok so when I was a young teenager my parents taught me how to cook. By the time I was in high school I was cooking dinner most nights and having it ready (or almost...

We live in an area with a lot of ground water and our sump pump runs year-round. My husband hooked up a rain barrel to our sump-pump discharge pipe and now I use that water for my plants.
