This year Santa scored an awesome train table off of Craigslist and some train track from eBay. I think it's a great place to consider for holiday gifts and we will continue to do shop Craigslist in the future. Gifts From Craigslist: Score Or Scandalous? |

I want more pics too. Is the hall light fixture original to the house? If not, source? And are those ikea bookshelves? Love the look of the couch up against wall of bookshelves. Lisa's Crestview Charmer House Call |

This has happened to me twice! Took forever to get all of the glass shards out of the oven. I've stopped using glass bakeware as a result. Modern Glass Bakeware: More Likely to Shatter? |

We camped in Yosemite with an 11 month old. A headlamp is a must for night time diaper changes. As for sleeping, we took the Phil & Ted version of a pack n play. Brings lots of covers in case of varying weather. A kelty backpack carrier was great for hiking. We hiked to Yosemite Falls/Vernal Falls with it and our daughter even fell asleep during the hike. I definitely say go for it! It was a truly memorable vacation and one we hope to do again soon. Tips for Camping with a Baby Good Questions |

We hiked Yosemite with our one year-old using a kelty external frame pack. It was very comfortable for both myself and my husband and I highly recommend it. The pack gave our daughter a great view of everything and she loved it. I definitely recommend checking into that and trying one on. If you have an REI near you should be able to test it out there. That's where we got ours several years ago. All-Terrain, Lightweight and Collapsible Stroller? Good Questions |

We have had blik decals in two rooms. We have used both the regular and reusable kind. There have been no problems with the regular blik peeling but I have noticed that some of the reusable ones I have up now have peeled up a little and I just had to push the corner down. Neither kind has actually fallen off the wall. I think they stick very well to the wall. Wall Decals and Safety Concerns Good Questions |

We had some vintage flash cards and had two pieces of plexiglass cut at the Home Depot that were a little larger than the card. Then we sandwiched the card between the plexiglass and used a clear glue in the corners. You could see the glue a little but there might be a better product out there. Then we used a binder clip at the top as the hook and have them hanging in the room. They would not be interchangeable like that but you could do this until you wanted to use them more regularly.

If you happen to have a lot of snow too, you can make Little House Molasses Snow Candy that I saw over on the Fix Me A Snack blog. http://www.fixmeasnack.com/2011/01/little-house-molasses-snow-candy-recipe/ Or these are my favorite cookies and are not too similar to gingerbread to be classified as Christmas-y. http://www.tastebook.com/recipes/752874-Molasses-Softies What Are Some Good Recipes to Make With Molasses?

We just bought the chemex. It makes a wonderful cup of coffee and we haven't noticed it taking that much longer. Yes, you can't set it to brew while you're getting ready in the morning but it doesn't really take long to boil water. We still have the drip - so company can always make a cup of coffee. But the Chemex is our go-to coffee maker. And I agree with @shlowzi, it is much easier to clean than a drip machine. Coffee At Home: Is Giving Up the Drip Machine Worth It? |

Haven't cooked a wild turkey but have been cooking free-range heritage breed birds for years. The key to cooking the heritage breed is to brine so I would think that would work for you too.

We have the ikea slide and both our 3 year old and 15 month old love it. The could climb and slide all day. I highly recommend it. The footprint isn't that big but there really is no good way to store it. You could take the slide off of the base for storage but that wouldn't be very convenient as everyday storage.

There's a Disney Mickey Mouse Club movie where Daisy gets a cuckoo clock for her birthday and the cuckoo flies away so they have to find it.

Not really about cuckoo clocks, but in The Frog on Robert's Head by David Cleveland, the dad's hobby is to make a peach pit cuckoo clock. Not an integral part of the story but definitely makes a showing. A Cuckoo Clock for a Kid Good Questions |

Have you tried Bing.com's travel site to track tickets? You can enter your search (i.e. DFW - CDG) into their normal search engine and it will automatically populate the travel site where Bing will predict whether the fare is going up, going down or staying the same. It charts fares for the previous months and determines whether the price will go up or down. It takes some watching but we've had luck finding cheaper fares by following that. Another good site is www.farecompare.com and you can sign up for alerts. How to Afford Visiting Overseas Grandparents Good Questions |
