Not too long ago, there was an ad for a "Cheerios cabinet."

(Curio)

Um... Tiny town Kansas checking in. we do have charm in our town, so HCL [or was that HLC] generalization about the midwest is insulting.

We have a number if antique stores, mom and pop restaurants, two gas stations (one with Red Box), and still manage to have historic homes with brick streets.

I get annoyed when I travel for work and people say, ”oh you must be happy to be away from Kansas.” Not really, I like where I live, moron. It is why I live there.

I have pink in almost every room in my house. Three rooms are painted pink. I love how comfy and relaxing, yet grown-up, my rooms feel.

I love sitting on my front porch... of course, we have a very large porch and historic house... I might not feel the same if I lived in a subdivision.

Not when you have plaster walls. The trim is specifically made to hang the hardware.

(Which is the case for me.)

Disposable wipes. Wash cloths and a diaper pail work better anyway. Cloth diapers are cuter, too!

Every baby is different though. I am a mom of five boys... All slept in Moses baskets and cradles.... Until the youngest who insists he must sleep with me. In this case, the cradle I have used for the other boys was a waste of time in setting up.

I have never used a diaper changing table. I always use a changing pad on the bed.

only my oldest liked pacifiers.

Oh, cheap breast pumps are the worst. My Medela had been working great for years. The cheap one I started with was the worst.

Love this!

Agree - a gut remodel means down to the studs... Unless they removed sheetrock, rewired and replumbed, I am not seeing a gut job.

And I do love you bringing it back to the original layout! Very nicely done!

Yosoymami,

I have the same color in my kids' bathroom. I used a discontinued Martha Stewart Lowe's color called Araucana Blue. They still have the swatch books and colors in the computer if you ask.

I wonder why we don't have similar concerns about boys liking action figures and sports, worrying about them bring an alpha male.

I have 5 boys, so I cannot relate to the princess thing.
