Wow, that's Awesome! They're wonderful!

I do think it's interesting how few people understand eggs and think they spoil so quickly. I think people compare them to dairy, and there's always the idea of "rotten eggs" being so gross... but they can really last for months in the fridge. I agree that when I buy them from the fridge, I store them in the fridge... When i get farm fresh eggs from my family friend I store them on the counter.

While you won't get sick from them being left on the counter, do they last longer in the fridge? That seems like the main reason to keep them there to me, but maybe that's just our idea of keeping everything free from contamination.

I work at a preschool and we have a lot of people from India working at Intel who bring their children to us. They insist on keeping their yogurts, cheese, and most food in their room temperature cubby hours because they don't like to serve their children cold food. Seems so odd to me, but I doubt they'd do it if they ever got sick from it!

I've actually been looking into how to cut our own matting, my husband has a ton of sports memorabilia, especially signed photos or index cards that we've been trying to display that come in odd sizes. I do love to "DIY" but I have to agree that the over cut is totally noticeable to me. Maybe something that is larger and you don't need to see close up... But this would absolutely not work for the stuff we would want to frame in matting.

BTW - I make sure it's simmering on low

This is amazing and looks so easy, how have I not done this yet?? The soup recipes are making me drool for fall soups...

I recently read something on "rolling" clothes rather than folding (very similar to filing), and it has saved me a lot of frustration when it came to finding what I was looking for, and pleasure from seeing my beautifully organized drawers!

Love the idea on storing candles and bars of soap in drawers... Candles have always been something I've had a hard time knowing where to put before I'm ready to burn them (I get a lot as gifts, etc)

I hate posts like this... Maybe I'm old fashioned, but has anyone ever heard of a holga or polaroid? This is pretty much the same thing but merged... Instagram is the instant gratification of "Hey, I took a cool picture and I'm going to make it look weird by adding in a filter, and in turn, everyone's pictures end up looking exactly the same" with holga, you take a picture and have no idea what it's going to look like. It's a total surprise every time you get film! Makes for some excitement. And hello, like any of us have never seen a camera that just shoots out a picture...

Call me a total "nay-sayer" because I know I'm not in the majority. I'm just not impressed, It's basically already been done.

Even if you don't like ikea products, I mean let's face it - Not all of their stuff is top quality... They still have an amazing show room and beautiful catalog... Great for ideas and inspirations!

Considering I live in Portland and it's gray and cloudy enough as it is, I have to say this room is ridiculously depressing, especially for an infant. I'm all for gray soothing walls, but you definitely need some pops of colors around.

If I saw number 2 I would assume the people who lived there were from an either goth or punk scene... Even if they still chose a "darker" color as a trim with the black, it would look more planned and not like it had been spontaneously spray painted
