oh the others parents we endure for our kids!
some people value FREEDOM and maybe want to pack up our kids and live in a teepee!

i like seeing the interesting choices people make. Reminds me of the Hornby Island dump or freestore (as the hippies called it). There's so much STUFF out there, you can always find something you need on the street.

i used simplynoise.com for a free download, but never needed it or the sleep sheep. Co-sleeping worked for us. It's not for everyone, but we've slept soundly from day one.

I LOVE it!!!!
Great idea, nice family lifestyle, really inspiring.
Kids don't need all those toys etc that fill up our homes. I'll be paring down this year....get rid of some toys.

My son's favourite 'toys' are whatever he grabs out of the recycling bin anyways!! Right now he loves the big cardboard box his carseat came in.

Birthday parties every 5 years make the other 4 celebrations a more relaxing family time.

call me CRAZY....but I really like the orange curtains and wallpaper in the before bathroom. The after is really nice too and more liveable I guess.

hey!!!
don't go to the nursery....now's a good time to take cuttings before they die for the winter and without feeling guilty about helping yourself. I have 1/2 a dozen varieties rooting in a glass of water that i'll turn into houseplants this winter, and then put outside in this cool planter next spring.

Put a Lid on It!.

I love the banana holder. totally ridiculous at first glance but really useful to throw in a backpack or purse. i use it everyday, my baby's favorite food is banana. i feed it to him when we're out on the go.

Wipes warmer wasn't necessary for him last winter, I used wet cloths. No newborn likes getting their diaper changed and a few seconds of minor discomfort is not the end of the world...i guess a bruised banana isn't either....

if I didn't already have the banana holder I might not buy it after reading this. We all should really think about all the useless stuff we buy.
