I love this post, as at some point I had enough of Disney films and tween drivel, so I started showing my kids less mainstream films. Movie Nights: Foreign Movies for Children |

Despite what Gods in the Details says, even the most well-behaved children (and mine are generally quite well-behaved) will give in to temptation now and again. It is called experimentation, and is an important part of the learning process. Tips for Avoiding Drawn-On Furniture |

I live in a neighborhood teeming with kids. They ALL prefer to play in the front yard so they can see when their friends are out and greet passing dogs. Back yards are only for when the whole crowd goes to play on someone's swingset. The #1 Reason for Hanging Out, Out Front |

Make it stand out. Put it on the focal wall, and paint that wall a deep coral to match the berries. Paint the other walls white, and keep the colors for the rest of the room simple. Stick to the white, taupe and pops of coral in accessories. Ideas for Decor Based on Artwork? Good Questions |

I'm just aghast that a 4 or 5 year old kitchen is considered "dated". This is an investment of many tens of thousands of dollars. Before & After: Jane's Brooklyn Kitchen Transformation The Sweeten |

I'm just aghast that a 4 or 5 year old kitchen is considered "dated". This is an investment of many tens of thousands of dollars. It should be considered to look ok for at least a decade. Before & After: Jane's Brooklyn Kitchen Transformation The Sweeten |

ITA, I have a knock first policy. The kids were and still are always welcome to come in for a snuggle, but they need to knock first. If they are playing outside of our LR, they are encouraged to do so in their bedrooms. There isn't a lot to play with in my room, besides the bed/trampoline. Is Your Bedroom Off-Limits to Kids? |

After my experience with the DesignerAtHome.com service (an online-only interior design service) I am very dubious about any online design service. IMHO there needs to be some personal give-and-take that just can't be done entirely online. Can an Online Stylist Improve Your Wardrobe? |

There is a story more delightful than Cinderfella... Petronella. I believe there may be multiple versions but the one I read is from the anthology "Don't Bet on the Prince", edited by Jack Zipes. Wonderful, empowering stories featuring smart, sassy girls and women. Petronella is my favorite of the collection. Fairy Tale Gender Swap: Would You Read The Classics This Way? |

I have a two-foot vertical landing strip in my house. I put in an attractive wall-mounted apple-green enamel file inbox (where mail can be dropped until I have time to look at it) over a set of hooks and a large basket where my family tosses backpacks, lunch bags and shoes as they come in the door.

Open the windows from the top, and get an adjustable sized screen to fill the opening. (You can buy these at nearly every hardware or home improvement store.) That will allow you to put cafe curtains or some type of bottom-to-top blind in the lower half of the window while still getting airflow. Ideas for Privacy without Blocking Ventilation?
