Thank-you for this little article! We're in the process of buying our first house w/ a YARD! Something our boys have never had- I'm totally intrigued by the idea of having a few chickens- JUST a few- I was discussing with my mom about if we needed to have a rooster. I'm happy to be right- lol- I didn't want one!

Love Jadeite- Love Laurelhurst...
We lived there when our son was born. Walked through the park everyday. Say hello to AfroDuck if he is still around.

Found this link on 1920's to present kitchens http://www.atticmag.com/2010/11/kitchen-contrasts-1920-2010/
We are currently looking for at an old house that unfortunately does not come w/ as nice a kitchen as you have... It needs major work all over!

I had made my son a sippy cup velcro strap that eventually made its way to 'volunteer leash' status. It was attached to the stroller and he enjoyed walking with it- sort of leading the stroller. I liked that it wasn't holding him but rather he was holding it... Our boy was/is a runner but he did enjoy the novelty & I enjoyed keeping him close in crowded places.

You are AWESOME!
What I need to know now is-
Where can I get a bookshelf like the one in the background?
We've been looking for a credenza type thing for our tv and this would be perfect!

I was 19 in London for the summer, & was bought a Lambic one night at a club where Boy George was spinning...HA!
It was quite a night-
Lambics are the only 'beer' I'll drink... I had them at my wedding instead of champagne. Wonderful.

AH!
I soo did this- but horizontally and with pumpkins too... They're draped accross our windows in the our living room and accross our porch. It's a really sweet look and has been up since before halloween. I had a little fall-fun-party for my son- These garlands were the decorations. I like the vertical look but I don't think our 2 year old is ready for things he can pull down ; )
I saw a potterybarn garland for christmas with ribbon and felt candy canes- The candy canes have clips on the back to hold holiday cards... I'm gonna try to make some!

We're a 'no shoes', 'no smoking' house.
We live in so-cal.
We have a toddler who plays on the floor and I don't want him playing in lead dust, or feces.
It's hard enough to keep a home clean without the added worry of all the crap getting tracked in on shoes and then my son rolling around on it.
When we were younger we smoked inside and wore our shoes all over the place- but we weren't as concerned of our health or that of our carpets and it showed.
I really don't get the vehemence of the no shoes hating people...

Oh! This would help us out SOOOO much!
I've been thinking about some baskets to haul stuff from the living room back into my little ones room- This is SO much better! & another one for the days collection of shoes by the door!! Love the handles- Love everything about it!

Couldn't I use my french press in this way? Put the coffee grounds and water in and then stick it in the fridge overnight? I've made coffee in the morning and then stuck in the fridge to cool a bit. Then I used coffee cubes( left over coffee made into icecubes) to make it cooler. But it would be smarter to just do it the night before?-
cold coffee= yum!

Hey! Thanks for this post.
We have an apartment washer by whirlpool- which hooks up to the sink faucet- We've started recycling this water for our sad lawn but it's been a HUGE pain. Started by hauling buckets and moved onto trash cans, but it's still QUITE a workout.
I've been thinking of ways to make this process easier. This gives me some more to think about...
BTW- we use phosphate free All free & clear & it's freakin' amazing how much water can be reclaimed from just one load!!!

Love tomatillos. I make Chile Verde (much like the above's pork stew). A great slow cooker recipe and comes out much fresher and delicious than anything I've ordered in a restaurant.

We bought the boon a year ago because it seemed like an attractive potty as well as it is a step stool. My son doesn't use it- He would rather sit on the big potty like mom and dad. I'm going to purchase the bjorn adjustable ring. Also the boon's splashguard is not great- It gets in the way and is another hurdle in an already unfamiliar process.

That is exactly what I plan to do next month when we upgrade our tv to a flat panel... Love the sideboard/ credenza idea!

When my partner and I seperated- It was pretty heated and he mostly took trash bags of stuff. We later liquidated the apartment and weren't too attached to the hand me downs. Good thing we got back together he had absconded with many of my books!
