*are* not quite right.

Love! And I think there should be no apologies for small parties!! Not every special event needs to be giant or done to the nines!

I, too, love the campfire pillow! And I ditto this: "And, not to get all political about it, but there's a teepee in it. And I think that's ok."

I second about the thin baby towels. Why are they so thin?

I don't understand the question. That picture is not a boob light. Is that the fixture in question, and the problem is none of the other solutions work because these fixtures have no, uh, nipple?

I agree with AnnaDouglas and Krikkit. We have a separate dining room that is basically our central location for spill-ish activities like eating, drinking, art-making, etc. The living room & family room are for other play, so we didn't buy the furniture there with a strong consideration of the wear & tear from the kiddos, just with consideration of the wear & tear from life in general.

And wherever possible we like to buy used, just to save the stress of the first dent or snag or whatever. If it comes to use looking a little lived-with, then we don't have to worry so much about what it will look like after we live with it.

This party has a very charming sense of humor! LOVE.

Maybe you are just not using the right keywords when you search? 'Plaster repair skim coat ' brought up numerous tutorials and videos. Don't be totally turned off by mention of drywall because a lot of the technique is the same. We've done plaster repair on several of our walls and it's sort of tedious but not hard.

I did this last year, but the molds I used had fluted edges (all I could find locally). They were super cute, but one of the moms called me later, laughing, to tell me her husband thought my candies were disgusting and tasted like crayons.

(She thought it served him right for pilfering his kids' goody bag.)
