Does Ikea even sell the Kura anymore? It's not in the 2013 catalog, and doesn't appear to be online, either.

I do think an "eating well when the power is out" post is in order!

Great post, and great tips!

Now we need part 2: kid-friendly plates and bowls that are durable, stackable (i.e. not shaped like frogs and stars), and preferably not plastic.

Nikki McClure's The First 1000 Days is gorgeous (http://www.amazon.com/First-1000-Days-Baby-Journal/dp/157061508X ).

But for those of us who were too overwhelmed to hang out with our journals during the early months, there's Your Birthday Book, which I've just discovered. It goes from age 0 to 18, and the best part is, you only have to fill it out once a year!

Love this, guys! Looking forward to more in the series. The trick of breaking the egg into a measuring spoon (or ladle as another reader suggested) should make all the difference in avoiding my typical poached egg fiascos.

And not to be the safety police, but:

@beanz1115 Microwave-safe or not, I'd be hesitant to cook plastic wrap in boiling water.

@ahjushi Not sure cooking in tuna cans is very safe, either.

I'd love to see a "When your dining room is your play room" version of this!

Lovely! And you don't have to constantly say "No touch! Hot! No touch!" (unless, of course, your candles are lit).

Love these! Pope Rose is the best kid's costume ever. Also, funny that she went from super to semi easy in a year. Wonder what she'll be in year three.

This post wouldn't be complete without Modern Shed: http://modern-shed.com/

I've been dreaming about putting one of these sheds...or two or three... my backyard for years.

I'll never forget the day I walked into my mom's house and she was vacuuming in her one-piece bathing suit. She lives in Florida, so it makes perfect sense.

I have the same dining table/chair predicament and Healthyhome's info above was super helpful.

Any opinions on which chair ranks the best in quality between the West Elm Scoop, the PB Morrow and the R&B Jake?

Can you also tell us where you found your handsome glider? Thanks!

I love my Miele canister. It transitions seamlessly between wood floors and rugs, and the genius German design means the little brush swivels and fits under dressers, beds, etc. (most vacuums would hit the top of the bed once you pushed it so far, so you'd have to go around tot he other side to get the rest of the underbed area). Super quiet. Super efficient. And quite lovely. See if your local vacuum shop will sell you a refurbished one.
