Would coconut oil work in place of butter for dairy free option?

Our boys are 25 months apart, now almost 3 and almost 5. They have been sharing a room since the second was a few months old. The oldest is deep sleeper and could sleep through the cries. The few times it got bad we brought him (oldest) into our room until the youngest went back to sleep. We're more worried the oldest quality of sleep. Now they're in toddler size bunk beds and occasionally talk to each other at night but it's never been an issue keeping them from sleeping.
Having your 3 year old ignore the youngest and put up some kind of visual divider are good ideas whether a curtain hanging down or rearranging the beds. Hopefully your youngest will realize the oldest is sleeping and not going to play. Good luck!

I'm new to eating kale and made the kale, butternut squash, bacon pizza at the top last night. It was really good. The squash was the strongest flavor but the crispy kale was nice. Also put kale in the smoothie this morning and it turned out fine.

Thanks everyone!!! Fortunately my father-in-law did all the cleaning and just gave us the pheasant breasts. I'm excited to try these recipes, can't go wrong with grilling and bacon and we're big fans of green chile after living in ABQ. Thanks again!!

I need this to absorb MY kids' noise!

We didn't know about this until my husband got a pickle ornament at his work's white elephant Christmas party today. Sounds like a fun tradition! Oh and we are both a little German, my grandmother is a Luckenbach, in TX.

Ha! We have the same setup as the first picture! Yes it's ugly but it covers the fireplace and gives us more floor space in our odd shaped living room. The room needs updating at once, piecemeal won't work in this situation.
