I've heard that rubbing with a piece of bread works too. I think mayo would leave behind a greasy mess. And yes, washable crayons are the only type allowed in our house! Tip to Try: Use Mayo To Remove Crayon This Old House |

For me, if I had so many concerns, I'd go with a crib. Montessori Floor Bed Logistics? Good Questions |

The invitation and the sign about the amazing Desmond are so fantastic. This entire party makes me want to start putting a circus theme into my son's brain now so that by December he will think he chose this idea! Best Kids' Parties: Circus My Party |

We have two parks in our neighborhood (affectionately referred to as Park #1 and Park #2 by my son) but if we didn't, we would definitely have a swingset. It would get used pretty much every day, I can guarantee it. And we do own a tv, but there are restrictions. Outside play is a necessity any day we can get out there, like today when it's 80 degrees in Michigan! What's That Backyard Play Set Really Going To Cost? |

I love this! We try to keep library books on one shelf in my son's room and books from school in the bag they came home in, but it doesn't always work. Just the other day we returned the bag to school with items missing. Apparently that's what happens sometimes when you tell a 5-year-old to 'put everything in the story bag!' A landing spot like this could definitely help us out. Create a School Station to Get OrganizedOrganized mom |

Pinetree, we decided to hang a shoe organizer to store our hats, mittens,etc and it's worked great! Practical Tips for Organizing Mud Rooms & Entryways |

I think these are terrific and if my toddler cries because she can't move it, I think she'll live. If I was worried about the kids using it as a vehicle, I wouldn't keep it upstairs where an accident could happen. Locking the wheels would solve a lot of problems.

We just did this at our house too and it's working out really well. My son got into the habit of putting his hat back into the organizer right away, which is awesome! Keep Your Winter Gear Neat with a Shoe Organizer My Life and Kids |

We started out with handmade knock-offs because my mom was prepared to head out to Venture (anyone remember that store?) at 4am on Black Friday when my dad said, "Do you honestly think any of our kids would get up that early to buy YOU something?" She called her friends and cancelled immediately, and I have to say, I totally respect her for it. I won't get up that early to buy my kids anything either!

I bought ours for $5 at a garage sale and it included the food! It's not huge, but it gets the job done and we can fit it in my son's closet when the kids aren't using it. Although, some of the kitchens above are pretty awesome! Play Kitchens for Any Budget |

Just to update: my son really likes these. He started out making the basic dinos and now likes to mix and match to create new dinos. Topozoo Daily Find |

This room is so pretty! I love the color combination. Would you mind sharing where you found the elephant sheets? Ava's Inspiration to Sleep Through the Night - We Hope Small Kids, Big Color Entry #19 |

I'm happy to pay a sitter to attend events I want to attend, but I definitely use the "Oh man, none of my sitters are free that night" excuse when I'm invited to things like Pampered Chef parties or anything that's basically asking me to come buy something. I also use the "Sorry, but this is costing me $10/hour" line when I want to get out of somewhere quickly. Works like a charm! Do You Use Your Kids As An Excuse To Not Attend Boring Parties? |

Heck yeah! We have a great neighborhood for trick-or-treating. We get a steady stream of kids for a few hours and it's a lot of fun. Does Your Neighborhood Trick-or-Treat? |
