Yes, she's going to be an olive-lover for life!

I'm with @hakroon, drink what you like. I can't imagine publicly questioning someone's drink choice. Well, maybe if a person ordered a Zima or something. Do they still make that?!

I had a bag of Meyer lemons leftover last week that I made lemon drop cocktails with on Friday night and they were delicious.

Yes, yes and yes.

In Atlanta, we have Architectural Accents on Piedmont Road.

I use Fabric.com and Hawthorne Threads regularly. I also use Girl Charlee for knits and Hart's Fabrics as well.

YES. This is the worst. Just tell me how much to add!

Agreed. Unless the kitchen is on fire, I can't imagine telling someone other than my mother or sisters how to cook.

Well said. I work with many different religions, ethnicities, etc. and I view the holiday gift exchanging among direct co-workers not as a "I'm celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ and here's a gift for it" but as a thank you for a year's worth of work. I always give edible, homemade gifts: brownies, cinnamon rolls, muffins, etc. I will either print the recipe or provide a link to where I got it so everyone can see the ingredients. If they can't eat it, they are welcome to re-gift it or leave it out in a breakroom (we have several) for someone else to enjoy.

I wrap gifts like this. I use Kraft paper and green/red/white yarn, writing recipient names directly onto the paper with a Sharpie. My tree is definitely not minimalist, and the brown paper packages look amazing underneath. (If I do say so myself!)

Of all the things there are to worry about when raising a child, how she decorates her room is the last on my list. Short of actual demolition, as long as it is easily painted over, etc., I couldn't care less. You have the rest of your life to be "tasteful."
