The Today Show had $20 basket ideas on their show yesterday (Thursday). I think only 2 of them had candy in them. One had sour worms in a gardening basket, and the other was Swedish fish in a beach bucket basket.

One of the museums I go to has something like this in their restrooms. When you put your hands under the sensor, it gives you some water, then some soap, then more water and finally air blows out to dry your hands. Its kind of cool, and it gives you enough time in between each step to properly wash your hands.

In regards to cphn, isn't typing out cell just as quick if not quicker since you have the double "L" ?

@erennich we do the same thing. We also don't have a dishwasher, and used to hand dry them with a towel, but have since gotten lazy. They get stacked all kinds of ways on top of our counter. Usually we'll put a towel underneath, although sometimes we don't. They've always dried fine, no fun smells, or anything.

@Rural and rueful the man room reminded me of one of my friends. She had posted pictures on Facebook of the new house her and her boyfriend had just rented. Going through the slideshow, all the rooms were tastefully decorated, with nice furniture, art work, etc. Then you got to her boyfriend's "man room." It was a cheap futon couch, and equally cheap desk (peeling plywood monstrosity from the 90s), a cheap wire shelving unit lined with action figures, with the walls covered in video game posters. I'm sure there was some arguing as she tried to keep that stuff out of the house, but finally gave in and gave him the second bedroom to have as his "man room."

@L_Doug we already broke 100 Degrees last weekend! Of course now we got a nice cool front and its been in the 70s and isn't supposed to get higher then mid 80s the next two weeks!

Will definitely be trying some of these tips out once it gets back up into the 90s. I hate sleeping with the A/C on. I feel like I'm just wasting money since the temp really doesn't make a difference while I'm sleeping. My childhood room was in a part of the house with poor installation, and my parents never even bothered to buy me a fan (I was one of those money conscious kids, so never asked for one). I'm used to the hot temperatures, but my boyfriend goes crazy once it gets into the 90s outside. I think I'll save a few 2 litters for him to fill with ice.

@hinmelb There are many times where kids have a bathroom that is considered theres. It could be a house that has the master bedroom on the first floor, with the kids rooms on the second. The bathroom upstairs then would be the kids bathroom. Or they could be jack and jill bathrooms. My sister has 2 full sized bathrooms upstairs (one off the hallway and a master bath) and a half bath downstairs for guests, so the second upstairs one is considered my nephew's bathroom.

He also did a video of his son from birth to 9yrs. I didn't find either of them creepy.

@SherrybinNH and @Alhal You mean these parents actually make their kids pick up their rooms? The horrors! Of course they are going to have the rooms cleaned before photographing them, just the same as you probably clean your home before having company over. I am sure there are plenty of times when the beds are unmade and toys are all over the place, but that isn't what this post is about.

No! I have always wanted to do a whale nursery if I had a boy. Now it will just look like I'm being trendy.
