I have a standard set of foods that I keep, and grocery list by store (and then by aisle) that I keep on the fridge and I mark off what I need when I use the last one. I then use the same list to meal plan for the week, checking the recipe with what I have. I started my list my keep my grocery receipts for a month, then I created my list from those.

k02, I used the hanging canvas "shelves" for my folded clothes in the closet. Better than a dresser as you can see in. They can be very inexpensive. I prefer the larger ones, not the shoe size ones. 7 Tips for Keeping an Uncluttered Closet Flag this comment	1/16/11 11:22 AM

Well, I was with a client, so I ate part of what I made for the kids, nothing too crazy. We made up silly names for veggies to help them eat them, so today we had carrots (lizard legs), bear noses (black olives), and jelly fish (cucumbers). For dinner I had left over Peruvian Chicken. Totally yummy. Apartment Therapy - Brown Bag Meals: What Did You Pack For Lunch? Flag this comment	9/12/07 6:31 PM
I think light would be good. I think an uplight with a simple shade or maybe some natural elements. Apartment Therapy - Good Questions: What Should I Do With This Corner? Flag this comment	9/12/07 7:10 AM

I have the opportunity to cook with many different people and could provide the review of how these bowls work with kids, grown-ups, and cooking in a group. I cook with two children once a week, just yesterday we made bread, and could have used something to help pour the flour into the Kitchen-Aid mixer. My cooking group meeting gets together to make meals in advance and we always need more bowls for the sauces, soups, and other delicious meals we prepare together. So, to get the review from the four year-old to the Mom of three kids, send those bowls up to Massachusetts.

Okay, I lost all steam at the end of the last cure, so I'm going to reset and try again. Susan Apartment Therapy - The Fall Cure: September 5th, Nationwide Flag this comment	9/5/07 5:48 AM
Hello ATer, I'm looking for something interesting to do with some great photos I have. I remember two cool photo projects here, one, where you can reproduce your photo in 8x10 section to make it huge. The other one, was, you can create a photo with those tiny little photos, but I am unable to locate the sources with my poor search criteria. Can you help?

Anne, If you can have ramps for you pets, why not Roombas? Wende, creating growth in not in 82 directions is a goal of mine. The cure is giving me the room to explore and implement some interests/talents that I have not exercised in many years. On that note, I'm looking for both some vintage clothing (1920's and 30's) and a way to display them as art. I thought that one of the curers was a vintage clothing person, if so can you contact me? I'm open to any ideas (I only have JonathanB great Kimona art), I'm looking for a way to display a women's outfit that gives the feeling of dance.

Lorijo, I hear you on the good health-home front. I took care of my grandmother last year, she wanted to stay home after having cancer spread. She went quickly, which was a blessing, but I stayed to clean out her apartment (and she was neat freak) and it took me weeks. I have been trying to get my own house in order since then. It is slow going, but the cure has helped a lot. The Spring Cure: Week Five - Weekend Flag this comment	4/9/07 4:48 PM
Just like we all might have gone to different camps in the summmer and some never went to camp...there are many paths to sleep and it is good to know your options. Congratulations on better sleep. Babies are great for deep cleaning, they find every little thing on the floor (of course putting them in the their mouths, not part of the deal). I really like the good night moon book on the desk, that is a great bedtime story. The 9 Month Cure: Cozy at 6 Months Flag this comment	4/6/07 1:02 PM
Wende, You are on to something there. I work at a medium sized hospital and we are about to go to that type of system as we need more space for computer carts and they found that we were "using" a lot space on each patient care floor for supplies, now we are going to have a daily delivery of supplies from the basement and turn over the supply rooms for computer storage.

Don't park it anywhere full without someone in the truck. I was at the police station in Brooklyn filing a report and I'll never forget the lady who came in to report her full moving truck had been stolen. Oy vey, she knew better but didn't have a choice.

Maxwell, what a wonderful find. This is just amazing, now where could I put that 7 ft. pattern mold? Get Back Inc.: Vintage Industrial Furniture & Lighting Flag this comment	4/5/07 9:16 AM
I am huge fan of the Tripp Trapp (note I don't have kids, but I'm a professional nanny). Many of my clients have them, and I love to use them with kids at the counter (cooking, playing in the sink, doing other projects). Good Questions: Booster Seats Flag this comment	4/5/07 7:46 AM
I did a one day media fast (except for work) and I loved it. I need to cut back on TV, but the cure is keeping me so busy cleaning who has time for TV? Lorijo, can you try only X numbers of hours of TV for the week, so they can watch but not all the time? Taryn, your room is lovely. I love the deep purple and the bed.

Kristen, Some people use the bags to scoop the poop, so they don't recycle them. I used to keep a small net bag in my purse to keep the number of bags that I got down (when I lived in NYC). I have bigger collection that I use when I shop, I hate those plastic bags that can only one one thing and you have double them or use paper and plastic to get home. NYC not the mecca of recycling.

I'm afraid of my office. It has been the room that I've just let go beyond belief. I have been trying to do a little a each day, but it is hard going. Thank god my taxes are done. Okay back to work for me. The Spring Cure: Week Five Flag this comment	4/4/07 4:05 PM
Hey Folks, I had company all weekend, so I just feel like I'm getting back in the swing now. I really hate the kitchen color, so I'm going to repaint, a creammy yellow. I got the china out of the livingroom, put books in the living room built in (formerly the dining room). Replaced the drawer and handle pulls in the living room and kitchen. Replaced light switch plates in hallway, put up nice light switch pull the bedroom. Took two loads to Goodwill, had a few free Craig's List pickups. Best of all I found a great new 1/2 landing strip for the front hallway. A small sattle bench, where I put a marble top on it. The Spring Cure: Week Four - Weekend Flag this comment	4/4/07 3:18 PM
