You can make banana slices in heart shapes, too. Peel the whole banana, then cut a v-shaped notch all the way down the inside-concave length. Shave the banana into a pointed edge along the opposite length and slice. Your slices will be heart-shaped!

Made it for the big game and it was a hit. The sauce smells alot spicier than the meat turns out to taste, which was OK for my crowd but might be disappointing if you were looking for something with kick. Maybe less beef stock would help.

I would add, as the kids get older and the clothes are less onesie and more "outfit," especially for girls, it helps to fold the entire outfit together into one bundle. My daughter is the 5th girl to get our extended family's hand-me-downs and I love that my SIL keeps each outfit, including socks and hair clips, all together.

Instapaper. Lets you bookmark things in the cloud, so you have them on your laptop/desktop, ipad, phone, etc. You can choose to read the pages on the web or download as text to your device. You can organize the bookmarks into folders. I have a folder for work, one for researching my travel destinations, one for recipes, etc. Well worth the few dollars it costs.

If you go to the link, it has a pic of the closet, which is amazing...and practical.

How about a hot dip in a casserole dish? Not terribly difficult to carry, easy to reheat in the microwave.
My other thought is chicken satay. You could just bag the skewers of chicken and put the dipping sauce in a mason jar for travel. Both can be reheated in a microwave.

We have the same Jenny Lind bed...it was my mom's as a child. Love the room.

I have come to the rescue several times when I've been the only person with bandaids. My little kit also includes blister pads...they seem to be most in demand.

I salt watermelon and grapefruit. The taste is totally off to me if they don't have salt.

And the best sandwich in the world is white bread with bologna, American cheese, and ranch dressing, although I haven't indulged in one in years and would never let my kids eat that today. LOL

I made two reels from old scanned-in photos for my grandma's 90th birthday party. Everyone loved them! I used Image3D.com, which prints the photos on the reel--no assembly necessary. The reel doesn't look like an old-fashioned one, it looks more like a circular negative, if you can picture that. Price is similar.
