EWeed's Profile

I was invited to a child's party once where they said gifts were not required, but if we wanted to make a donation to toys for tots, they would have a bin available. It worked.

I'm with you mermaidsd! A device that slowly wakes you up while your baby is screaming down the hall sounds horrible. And warm bottles if all that's needed is a diaper change too? Keep the baby close so you can respond quickly, if they never wake up completely, it's a lot easier to get them back to bed.

Breastfeeding and cosleeping with a newborn gave me the best sleep I've ever had in my life.

I used to when I worked at home, but I discovered my posture was even worse with the ball and I switched back to a chair.

I love the bedspread as well; I wonder how dying one would work. I have a cream one in a similar style.

I tried popping popcorn on the stove last night for the first time, and it didn't end so well. I slowly stirred them in some olive oil, but when they started to pop, kernels were flying all over the kitchen. All of my lids were in the dishwasher, of course, so I removed the pan from the heat, but it was still hot enough that they kept popping. I covered it with a plate, but I have a feeling I'll be finding kernels and popcorn in random places for the next little while.

I wasn't impressed with the result either. I found it to be really tough, and not light and fluffy at all. I think I'll stick with my microwave for now.

bepsf, I used to make the same type of ornaments with my grandma when I was a kid. I was so excited when I found a bag of them in her basement a few years ago. They're the perfect addition to my tree.

I put some fushia butcher paper on the back of my billy bookcases. Was cheap and easy, and it looks cool.

I really like the before better :(

The closest store to my house is IKEA, so I'm there all the time. When I need to just be "alone" I go wander through the store and daydream about what I'll fill my apartment with once I'm divorced and I can decorate.

I love the place, but I don't buy much at a time, and I've never purchased anything big. I'm sure having an agenda would take some of the fun out of my trips.
