LOL yeah let's put all the snackfood on the most easily accessible shelf! I'm sure it won't be gone in less than 24 hours...

The AAP also says all children should get a flu vaccine every year and that the first solid you should feed an infant is rice cereal. They are not the absolute and final word in how to raise your children.

Thank you everyone for your wonderful suggestions! I am leaning towards not painting it now... just safely removing the stickers and adding a colorful seat cushion.

We live near Philadelphia, and probably won't be turning on the heat for a while! Heating oil is crazy expensive right now. We did, however, buy a space heater and have used it at night while we're watching TV a few times (when the thermostat is reading in the low 60's).

I must try this immediately. I wish I had those sweet bowls!

For those wondering about tax rates... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_tax_revenue_as_percentage_of_GDP

I like to decide what happens to the majority of my income, not have the government do it for me. Perhaps it's just a personal preference.

Well, too late. Wal Mart already got my business instead. We went with a Baby Mod crib.

Looks cute, but I'd rather have the US's child tax credit every year. And our much lower tax rate in general.

If you look these up on Amazon, you can preview the songs. I especially love Once Upon a Rhyme. So awesome. They really do sound like sweet lullabys... but you can't help rapping along.

Love the dining room chairs! Had them growing up. Classics.

I'm due in November and getting really antsy about not having a crib... don't let me down Ikea! (PS I already have my back-up crib picked out just in case...)

Diapers can give kids rashes. Let's ban them, too. How about toys with small parts that your kids could choke on? BAN 'EM! Formula that your baby could have an allergic reaction to? Consider it banned. Seriously, if we start going down this road... it'll never end.

Another ridiculous example of "government knows how to parent better" than um say, actual parents. How about the gov't bans something that's a greater risk to children, like BPA or certain vaccine ingredients. Stop wasting our time.

I feel completely out of the loop... and I only graduated from highschool in 2003. People decorate lockers?! This was unheard of at my school. Everyone just shoved their backpacks in there & went to class.

You don't have to go w/ bright white outlet covers... nice stainless steel ones would have matched the appliances nicely. I guess I'm so against them b/c I live in a house that has them all over... and whenever you want to repaint, they are virtually impossible to remove... especially with multiple coats of paint over them. They also make plugging things in difficult w/ multiple coats of paint. And the paint starts chipping off... ugh, it's just a headache for the next person.

(I may seem like I'm being negative, but it's a personal pet peeve. The comments section is for all comments, not just praise.)

I love everything about this kitchen! EXCEPT for the painted over outlet covers. Why oh why do people continue to do this?!

I'm really getting fed up with Craigslist. All I see in the furniture section are blurry photos, furniture with junk all over it, WAY too close-up shots of items, and things that are insanely priced. No one is going to pay $150 for your scratched up wooden 1950's dining table with no chairs. Get it down to $25 and we'll talk.
