My husband and I bought a fridge not long ago and were planning to buy the Smeg until we did an internet search of reviews. The thing that got me most was that almost every review started out with...

I second sf julia's idea about putting down some throw rugs. Also if they won't let you paint in interesting colors consider using fabric instead. Depending on their restrictions ab...

I can't say it is actually a recipe but with each of my three pregnancies I have been mango crazy. So much so that not a single mango reached an actual plate. They get pealed, and then devoured ...

I really like this place. You can actually see the personality of who lives there. I think that is worth a lot more than how perfectly designed the place might be.

Say it ain't so! Can you really slap a picture of an endangered species on a made in China stroller, give $5 to a charity and claim that you are making some kind of a difference in the world?

My 6 year old and 3 year old have been sharing a room since my youngest moved out of his crib. I keep expecting my daughter to ask to get her own room but she never has. In fact we have been talk...

Beautiful room! I would love to take a look at your blog but the link isn't working.

What a great room! I love how you mix and matched the chairs at the table. I also like that you used two beds at similar heights, your girls will have a blast bouncing from one to the other.

Hi Melissa and R8ermom, Melissa - my husband and I are both only children as well so we also wonder about sharing a room with your sibling. My kids are 6 and 3 and so far neither seems to mi...

Joy and Snarly, Thank you so much for your kind words! In regards to your questions Snarly: The dollhouse goes through phases of use. Sometimes I don't see them play with it fo...

The bedding is nice but that crib (the one with the wheels, not the other odd looking one sided beast) wow, that is really nice. Any ideas about where that came from and if you can stick a real ...

My son is very sensitive to chemicals so I've been using all sorts of cleaning alternatives around our house. Some have worked quite well and some have not. The squeegee has been a very good prod...

I second the Ikea stool. We have the same sink you have and the Ikea stool works quite well. In the kitchen we have a Kikstep (you know the stool they use in public libraries). That thing...

Thanks for the heads up. Her stuff is so sweet!

This is fantastic news! That means this weekend when I beg my kids to stay in bed for just a few more hours, I can add at the end of my plea, "its for your own good!"

Anne, The best baby shower gift I given was a six month supply of diapers. I know that seems crazy but I can't tell you how fantastic it was to put off the cost of diapers for those first mo...

My favorite summer treat is fried green tomatoes with bacon on a thick slice of white bread toast. Everything is sitting in my kitchen just waiting to be used but my plans keep getting put off. H...

I got one for my daughter and she really likes it. The only problem I've found with it is that it can be a tight squeeze to fit in both lunch and a water bottle. We also have the wrap-n-mat (link...

What is with all the baby product ads that have no pictures of baby in the product! I mean if you really want to convince me I should drop 1/2 a grand on a stroller your ad should be of a screamin...

My husband and I have moved a lot. We've moved when we were broke, when we had a little bit of money, and now just a couple of months ago we moved with the great deal of the employer paying for th...
