The only thing I remember needing to buy was composition books and a hole-puncher for a one-time art project (that was useless!). This was in the 80s.

Pencil cases were the rage in my time, and I used one faithfully :)

These look like so much FUN! Filing away for next year's birthday!

I still live in an apartment, but too love these ideas, especially the bunkbed garden! Filing them away for the future.

And seconding FengShui's dog training plea. Our pound dog learned fairly quickly to wait at the entry way until we wipe his feet clean. Sometimes we start sorting the mail and forget he's still waiting there, poor pooch...

I like it too. I recently started storing oatmeal and walnuts in glass jars on our countertop. Jars are easier to deal with in the morning than clumsy cardboard boxes!

Very excited to see this post as I've been moving away from having too many meat-based meals for dinner. Thanks for the links.

@kairo: trying to be as delicate as I can, but the squirt bottle is for use after going to the bathroom. Wiping isn't a good idea, especially with abrasions and possibly stitches, so squirting the area down with water and patting dry helps. I also filled the peri-bottle with a witch-hazel solution.

I'm usually able to peel away the skin from both halves, then chop on a cutting board.

And, to the above posters, I don't think using a spoon to scoop it out is as aesthetically pleasing, so I'm sure some people appreciate this post.

I love buckwheat pancakes, and this recipe is pretty close to one I use too (minus the lemon zest and vanilla, but I'm going to try that next time!). We have them almost exclusively at home now.

I've been using Mendeley (free online and desktop app) recently, and sounds like it has the same functionality as Papers, with the added social networking features. You can also add highlights and annotations to PDFs within Mendeley. Whichever app gets used, it's really nice to have PDFs organized this way, isn't it?

Yes, some toys just look too good to keep hidden away in closets or baskets! And adults (at least this one) like to play too.
