I agree with some of the others. I am in the market for a new table for my daughter, but this one, as cute as it is, simply does not seem worth the money. it really does look too much like a lack table (and yes, I am staring at a lack table right now, it is in the corner of my family room tucked in between a couple of couches, it really does look a lot alike, finish snazzy finish aside), obviously bigger, but also 20 times the price...

ikea really needs to get into the play table business (and I know they have a couple, but not enough).

richard scarry's best word book was one of my favorite books growing up and my daughter loves her copy almost as much as I loved mine (mine was not in good enough shape to pass along). I think we might need some of those mini characters in our christmas stockings this year.

the busy world of richard scarry and busytown mysteries are two of the only shows that I can stand to watch over and over again. and I agree that the kids' streaming selection on netflix is one of their best features. if only they would add charlie and lola...

I changed my study into the nursery and I tried to reuse some of the things that I had already in there, including a loveseat with a white slipcover. it worked perfectly. you can curl up on it--it was comfy for late night feedings and is still the best spot for reading books together.

I have an ikea sniglar which I used a non-ikea crib mattress for and didn't have any problems.

and I will point out, if anyone is worried about how the ikea cribs wear, that my daughter is over 2 years old and big for her age (36 inches and 35 pounds) and she loves to jump in her crib and run back and forth from one end to the other and the crib looks just as good and is just as solid as the day I put it together.

I love our ikea crib and hope they bring them back soon!

it is yogurt not caramel sauce. and if you go to the image link it takes you to the right page.

I agree with the others, this is sad. there are tons of adorable shared rooms on ohdeedoh, please use one of them as inspiration and move two of your kids in together.

cute party--I like seeing something a little different.

I decided to start making granola recently, but was a little nervous about reading all of the comments on this site about how people had problems getting their homemade granola to cluster.

after reading the recipes and comments I actually went with one from williams-sonoma. it seemed simple and I had everything necessary lying around my kitchen. I substituted pecans for the almonds and left out the raisins. and I have to say--it is perfect! I spread the pan with parchment paper and have gotten perfect clusters every time I've made it.

absolutely love this! it isn't often that I see a room that makes me want to completely redo my daughter's room (or even mine!), but this does.

lovely, but, on a practical note, the arms simply don't look wide enough to be comfortable.
