We invested in a very nice a crib that converts from crib to toddler bed to full bed. My daughter has been sleeping in her toddler bed since 20 months and loves it. I love that she still has plen...

Usually by this time of year, I have quite a few vacation days piled up so I take off Fridays and finish up more complex projects while the 2 year old is at daycare. Anything she can help with occ...

My daughter received the Haba Lilli doll for her first birthday (though she renamed her Hayley) and then a Baby Stella for her second birthday. She treats Lilli like a friend (shopping, tea partie...

I used to live in an apartment with very little drawer space so I used two stainless steel canisters I received as a wedding gift. They originally came with lids and were meant to store cotton bal...

We love Busytown! I have a few books from my childhood that my daughter now reads. Can you share the instructions for making Lowly Worm?

Fantastic idea! Our parties have typically been family only so we do open gifts, but I love being able to show the child enjoying the gift after the party.

My daughter wanted to paint her room pink so I accented it with orange and a hint of green to keep it from being too "princessy". I love the combination.

After we bought our house six years ago we painted the dark brown siding Sherwin Williams Fireweed (a deep red) and it still makes me smile every time I pull into the driveway.

@Shelley: That wallpaper is gorgeous! The one wall that stretches from front to back in our house is painted a very dark "turkish coffee" brown, our master bath is a rich red, our gu...

This looks great! (and I thought I was the only one who organizes my daughter's books by color.)

My first attempt at making "monkey bread" resulted in a brown suger/maple syrupy mess in the bottom of the oven. Turns out a 2-piece tube pan isn't the best choice for oozy things. Even worse was...

I also had a hard time finding one I liked/could afford so I made one. It was my first sewing project and super easy. I used these basic instructions, minus the ties (I used iron-on velcro tabs f...

I've always dreamt of living in such a beautifully peaceful home. And then the reality of a 2 year old, a dog, a puttering husband, and two jobs I love sets in. But just looking at these pictures...

We have a huge extended family so I love to try new things when we all get together. The challenge is several very picky eaters, so the menu is usually classic with a meat dish and several savory ...

Love bacon in the oven. @alejandraramos: am so trying this this weekend!

Holy cow! How long did it take to do this?

I love how she mixed up modern with her own more personal style. Well done!

Gorgeous! What are they made from...paper?

I think these are lovely, but my 2 year old would be quick to point out those princesses are not Cinderella, Belle, Jasmine, Aurora, Aerial, etc. (I don't know how she knows them all; we have neve...

Forgot to mention, I loved our fixed rail crib and it seemed sturdier to me than the drop rail style. We converted it to a toddler bed and I still love the way it looks.
