Bleh. As if the paleo diet didn't already seem kind of gross.

Agreed with that comment about simplier weddings being very nice. I would happily go to a simple cake and beverages party done with style then a shabby, sad affair that still involves debt for the parties involved. Simple can be very nice.

Also, no one likes a drunk pregnant bride. Just sayin'

Showers hosted by family members still look like a gift grab. That is the whole point of a bridal party. If the bridal party doesn't have the means there is nothing wrong with a little transfer of wealth or experience. Just don't host it.

Agreed though that they are a stellar apricot.

Blenheims aren't really "disappearing" any more. Actually, they are reappearing after abundent media coverage. They aren't expected in Santa Monica for another two weeks.

I like De Cecco but think it is better with one minute less than stated, then saute with the sauce for a minute.

I absolutely places that totally and utterly express someone's personality. I love this. Totally awesome.

There is a big difference between unavoidable noise from shared space living and listening to someone intentionally making a child cry to "train" them. It makes you a lousy neighbor and an X parent.

I like this post a lot, even though I suspect they moved because of the noise.

But I will say, if someone sleep trained their infant next to my bedroom I would call the police or social services, whatever i thought would resolve the situation most quickly.. There is no way that is okay behavior for a shared wall.

Um, how about no? My kids are still screen free at 3,5 and it isn't a big deal. At 6-8 maybe an hour a week will be allowed.

Why is screen time earned? And why would it been the reward for something like reading? If I was contemplating that then their would be 100x as much as reading and 0 screen time.

I think all of those blocks look cool but if you are going to feature a cool product, pleae use the real thing. Citiblocks are a knock-off of Kapla blocks.

Love the forms. My four year old will love those. Also, real band aids added to the doctor kit are much loved.
