I have the See and Sew book, and it's wonderful! I purchased it as a way to help me teach my Pre-schooler to sew, but I found it useful for me as well. I had no idea idea the proper way to sew on a button, and I like that she gives some explanations. Thanks for sharing!

I received a bag of Nellie's at a baby shower, and it's been great! I have a sensitive nose, and I can't handle many of the regular cleaners out there. I'd been using 7th Generation up until that point (and my husband still does), but I like a little scoop of Nellie's - it doesn't take much, but I'm really happy with how my (and my daughter's) clothes turn out. I'm going to keep an eye out for the tin though - that looks pretty cool!

I like this idea for pictures for grandparents too...there's only so much space in a lot of the retirement apartments, and most of our family doesn't like clutter. *adds to Target list*

Thanks!

Berry, Berry Kix...I mourn your passing. I can't tell you how many illnesses you saw me through. I was kind of hoping you'd stick around for the pregnancies, but I see you had other plans.

Those boys sure look familiar. :) I love their names especially. Congratulations mama on making it to three for your three. See you on TB.

We did the diaper genie with my sister, a diaper champ with my daughter, but eventually fell in step with the Dekor. I thought we could just get away with a trash can, but once you open the lid, it's an awful stench. My parents don't use one, but they keep their trash can in the garage where it doesn't smell. I like the double door system on the Dekor and hardly ever smell it unless it's full. Which is extra awesome right now since I'm all kinds of sick with my second pregnancy.

Love the high chair...we had two, one cheapo freebie and one more expensive and got rid of them both for this space saver. It's easy to clean, and has been to a wedding and several feasts. We just retired it this weekend, but we're hanging onto it because friends and family have babies and toddlers too.

@jenniferholle - that's brilliant! We took ours to a wedding, and we were the envy of all the parents. The reception had wooden high chairs, but they were on a different floor, and no one wanted to lug them up. Their loss because the little ones were running their parents ragged. Oh, except for ours who sat neatly in her IKEA high chair. :)

Yep - anything airborn or air-related is hot right now - clouds, umbrellas, paper airplanes, hot air balloons, kites...I really like this trend, and I'm trying to work more of it in my kiddo's room.

We use a Case Logic album for all of our DVDs and CDs. They hold quite a bit and E can't get them out to play with. They also look good in our living room and no one suspects we have a ton of media hidden in them.

We also have gone through our CD colleciton and got rid of CDs we no longer like. For the ones we only like a few songs on, they go straight to the ipod. Full albums we enjoy are keepers.

Hope this helps!

I loved Zen Shorts...I'll have to get this one too - thanks for sharing!

And I'll admit, I bought it for the artwork. :)
