Thanks for the info and link to the product you have found to work so well. I just ordered the fragrance free deodorant. I wouldn't mind trying something lightly scented such as lemon. Is there one you have tried that isn't too strong that you like? Thanks again...I'm excited to try out my new toxic free deodorant! It's the small things in life....

Some of my all time favorite are The Break Up, Somethings Gotta Give, It's Complicated and The Holiday. I would do anything to own a cozy English cottage such as Kate Winslet's in The Holiday! I often times put the movie in just so I can fantasize about myself living in that cozy and inviting home! Serenity now!

I actually have one sitting on my basement currently. I would say either School House Electric, an architectural salvage store, eBay or a thrift store. Just be sure that if you don't have the globe with you when searching that you know the fitter size (this is the measurement of the opening of the glass globe). Good luck!

I grew up in a very tiny community in Southern Minnesota. I ventured out after High School and loved living in a bigger city. By circumstance, I ended up back in the small town I grew up in where I currently reside. The town has more cattle than humans, only a Dairy Queen and a small pizza joint to eat at, small minded citizens and a night life that consists of drinking all night at the local bar while gossiping about anyone who is not currently sitting next to you. So, needless to say, my social life is in the dumps! There is a grocery store but it only has the basic necessities and if you want service you have to ring a cow bell. I am in hell here!! Hell I tell you!! I want out badly! I'd love to jump ship but my fiance has dug his heels in and wants to remain living here (where he's lived his entire 38 years). It is time for a change. So I either have to figure out how to embrace small town living or convince my fiance that it's time to pack it up and head for the city! I vote for the latter!

I have done this in one of my bedroom's in the past. For those of you asking about the functionality of the curtains, I used swing arm rods so I could just open the curtains up like a door but they still looked like a regular curtain on a regular rod when closed. This way I could really get in the closet with out the bulky curtains in my way at all. Swing arm curtain rods come in various sizes and finishes. Here's a link to some from Overstock.

Lefse is a must have here in Minnesota, especially around the Christmas/winter season. I grew up serving a lutefisk dinner at our local Lutheran church and although I don't like lutefisk, the smell always brings back wonderful memories. My family started making lefse a couple of years ago. It's quite a lot of work but so worth it. We plan on taking classes this fall or winter at an adorable shop called Lefse Time which is just across the MN border in Fountain City, WI. They also sell all the accoutrements needed for making lefse. http://www.lefsetime.com/

I have found that baking soda, vinegar and micro-fiber clothes are all one needs. I've found the Norwex brand of micro-fiber to be worth the extra money as they withstand the test of time and nothing, absolutely nothing, can clean a window like their window cloth. Those micro-fiber cloths have been a dream for me!!

First off, this is a very adorable upgrade. Any child would love the new theme and the fun bright color of this playset. Great job!

Secondly, to Wormy, sorry you are being attacked by so many people for making others aware of the safety codes. I would like to thank you for your informative comment. I always strive to keep my child safe and put safety first. Apparently I'm not the norm today but I certainly appreciated what you had to say. Thanks!

Great idea! On curtains with a rod pocket (as opposed to rings) I use a small piece of electrical tape on the rod and the rod pocket hides it. Works great to keep curtains in place especially when they are a bit lose on the rod pocket and want to slide in and cover too much of the window.

No talking with mouth full of food, no blowing ones nose at the table (GROSS!), wait to start eating until everyone is seated, and always compliment the host/hostess on the delightful meal that they prepared! I would think that this is common sense but I have been witness to the fact that apparently it isn't!
