I like the way frum thinks...I'll have to keep that in mind when my son is 3!!!

We love ours. Goes nicely with our mid century decor and is easy to clean. We started sitting our son it in it for fun around 5 months and had to use some padding at that time, but he quickly accli...

There are lots of "green" public bathrooms in our area and they all have hand dryers. A few of them even make claims to being eco friendly and one I came across had some funny internal mechanism th...

I second baking soda with dish soap mixed in and a vinegar and water rinse down -- used with a mesh plastic scrubby sponge. Should definitely work on the nobs if not the wood. Ecover also has a rea...

We don't live in a condo any longer, but I would be wary of assuming that your kid will sleep in your bed, even as a baby. I know lots of parents who do this and I myself looked forward to snugglin...

I love this house! I visited a very similar one on a Solar Home Tour in Boulder a few years ago that was also gorgeous. I really like the use of wood with concrete with natural lighting and a garde...

We picked up a Cuisinart Convection Toaster Oven a little over three years ago and it has served us very well. Most items cook in about 2/3 the time normally required and sometimes faster than that...

Comparably priced to regular pumpkins. $2 to $5 depending on the size. Organic pie pumpkins are $0.75/lb to $1.50/lb depending on the store. Not sure what conventional pie pumpkins are going for he...

Winston is evidently the name of a bazillion cats and dogs -- we didn't know this that at the time and it doesn't bother us either. We love animals almost as much as we love kids. We came across th...

Our HOA president said that although our HOA guidelines don't allow solar panels, it wouldn't hold up in court. Several of our neighbors are in fact considering them and the building committee has ...

Totally unnecessary. If someone is that concerned, get a Berkefeld and save the electricity.

Right now it is Llama Llama Red Pajama, which is a huge improvement over Clifford, which we ready every night the month before, and which was preceded by the Little Red Hen. I have to say Llama Lla...

First -- I have to say that my experience is rather small, as my son is only 15 months old; however, I'd say never assume a kid won't like something, just because you the adult don't...

They just announced that there will be in an Ikea in Colorado -- south Denver. This is about 1.5 hours and 50 miles (one way) from where we live and yet everyone "is so excited!" Even if Ikea is on...

Sounds a bit similar to the logic behind the newer LEEDs residential program -- although that only covers seriously green built homes. I can't imagine getting a prairie castle builder hear in Color...

whoops -- hit return there -- my son at 14 months loves pink and purple scarves at the music class we attend. He obviously has not been overly "genderfied" yet... And, as a kid I (a female) leaned ...

Ma Vie en Rose -- a movie I order on accident through Netflix (I was going for La Vie en Rose) is all about a little boy who loves pink. Nevertheless, my son

Ah. I only hope this is true! There is a couple in my home town moping and whining about how unfair it is that the city historic board/planning/council didn't approve their 4500 square foot additio...

LOL. We had at least 20 green caterpillar things (some as long as an inch) in our head of broccoli last week! For some reason they made me go "eeek!" so I had the husband remove them. There are als...

I tried this a few weeks back and it worked wonders! We've had a slow sink drain every since we moved in two years ago. Earlier this year I tried some non-toxic drano type stuff and it was no go, b...
