I'm interested in buying on ebay since I haven't had much luck looking on craigslist (and have a limited budget), but since I don't know much about rugs I'm intimidated by buying a rug I haven't seen in person. How do I know I'm not being taken for a ride?

Pearmelon (& holistic nutritionist),

I too "put a lot of effort into shopping for and cooking tasty, nutritious meals for the family". I cook from scratch, try to use a lot fresh & in season produce, only serve whole grains, and aim to achieve a balance between new & varied tastes and sensitivity to young eaters with respect to texture, etc. I don't offer alternatives at mealtimes and have never been a short-order cook. Picky eaters have always irritated me, as has waste. And one of my kids eats nearly everything I make for dinner, and the other eats nearly nothing. I used to think picky eaters were made, not born, but some kids have crazy preferences and are really hard to please. Let's not get too judgey-McJudge-y and self-congratulatory about our parenting here; all kids and circumstances are unique. Count your blessings if you got one who eats what you make for dinner without complaint. I'm hoping that day will come for my family, in the meantime, I plan to check out some of the recipes posted about (and make any whole grain or other substitutions as necessary).
