Wendi_C I believe those are the Thoroughbred napkins in a new navy (previously only in a rusty orange).

Hi Calvinnbs - the tech team is hard at work sorting out the RSS feeds; sorry for the delay. But, yes, they are coming.

Thanks!

@JACKIED302 Fisher Price reissued the Buzzy Bee and I bought one for my niece (her dad is a beekeeper) - it's great!

I didn't change my name when I married and we ended up using my surname as my son's middle name. I was adamant that my name be on the birth certificate, but thought keeping it simple with one last name for him was best for us.

@calebmom haha, as soon as I saw there was a comment I thought I bet someone is going to say this is crochet because I always mix them up. I *know* the difference when I stop to think about it, but I forget to stop and think about it. Anyway - thanks! I'll fix it.

I don't think the Lack is nearly tall enough to be an older kid/adult desk (is it?).

Just a note that House to Home is a UK publication and drop side cribs are still sold and in use in the UK to my knowledge.

As a kid my hoarding instinct was as strong as my binging one so I had no problem making my Halloween candy last for months. My 3-year-old son collected more than I expected this year and he's been having 1 or 2 pieces a day as "a treat". He's been pretty low key about it, but I suspect this will be a trickier issue in the future. I think being the candy controller is appropriate at his age.

KatieG1234 You can bet I'm keeping tabs on Ikea and the crib situation! A spokesperson recently told me that the Gulliver and Sundvik in white cribs would be available "soon." I'll keep readers posted as best I can.

Thanks for the feedback everyone - so nice to hear about your successes and also from those of you who are going to try the Cure in the future.

@jocelynaus - 4 bags, wow! If I had one, I'd give you a Toy Cure blue ribbon! Another thing doing this made me think about were the kinds of things I give to other kids as gifts. I bet you'll never give a new baby a stuffed animal now!

@sillyeaglebooks - see you at the thrift shop (not!)

@Rocket Scientist, @Lizzykewl & @Loora Thanks for following along! Good luck!

The link to the Cure posts will be on our sidebar for some time so it should be pretty easy to find again in the future.

Hi Jenleah, Ours was a gift too but he does have a tag. It's made by Gund and the tag says "Heads and Tales." I don't know about your dog but my son says Doggy is "SO nice," "Really smart," and "Beautiful." :)
