If I'm already feeling horrible, I send my husband out for Thai chicken noodle soup from our favorite local place plus a squirt or two of rooster sauce. That stuff plus some gatorade seems to get me up and running next day. What's Your Sick Day Dish? |

Easiest vegetable to get your kids to eat at Thanksgiving: whole black olives. Have them eat them on their finger, for some reason it's funny. We always looked forward to it every year and that was the most fought over dish every year amongst us 3 kids. Tips for Finicky Eaters on Thanksgiving? |

I find that seasoning the meat just before it goes from pink to brown/grey with a little bit of whatever is going in the dish (cumin & oregano in Mexican, italian seasoning in pastas) gives it a flavor boost. How to Cook & Brown Ground Beef Cooking Lessons from The Kitchn |

I'm born at the end of May. So, I was almost always the youngest in my class. By kindergarten, I had already learned how to read, and during reading time I was sent to a first grade class to read with them since I had tested at a higher reading level. Back to School Considerations: Redshirting |

I inherited my grandparent's Bavaria "The Baronial" China set. It's classic - off white with a simple gold ring. Most of it is in fantastic condition and it's moved 3 times with me, but I've never used any of it, gold just really isn't my style. I don't have any memories of using it, but it means a lot to my mother so I have held on to it. Inheriting the Family Dishes Reader Survey |

After getting a cricut and being incredibly frustrated with the lack of options, I craigslisted the cricut and bought the KNK Zing. It's incredible what it can cut, basically anything you have on your computer PLUS you can use the software to cut traces of a picture. I have just been cutting paper and cardstock for scrapbooking and cards, but according to the manufacturer can cut balsa wood, chipboard, and vinyl. Although pricy, it's been a lot of fun and more useful than buying punches and cartridges! The Craft Room Goes High Tech: Pro-Style Paper Cutting at Home |

The only scented candle that my husband and I've found that we both like is cinnamon, but we only use it during the holidays - it just smells SO christmas-y. So, we mostly use tealights from ikea in pretty candle holders. Choosing Candles for Your Home |

Keep it simple. We have taupe walls, a lovely blue patterned duvet (Sand Dollar Percale by LL Bean) and white sheets and pillows. Our furniture (headboard, dresser, nightstands) are all dark wood, and we have simple Black & White canvas paintings on the walls and glass lamps with white shades and a blue ribbon around for trim. For curtains, we have solid blue ones to match the duvet. It's very easy breezy and relaxing - just the way we like it! :) How To Use This Comforter in a Bedroom I Can't Paint? Good Questions |
