For the longest time, I used a women's laptop bag. You can usually find the purse style at Target for about $30. The part that was meant to hold the laptop was set up perfectly to fit my changing pads and diapers. And the other part held my things perfectly. There was even an inside zipper pouch dividing the two areas that was great for wet clothes.

Now that I'm expecting my second, I just bought the Skip Hop Studio tote, and I really love it. It's not light once you fill it up, but it keeps me organized so wonderfully. I love that I don't have to pull out a ton of things in order to get one thing I need. I got it in the pewter dot color and it looks like a purse to me! It was more than I usually spend, but the quality is incredibly good and I expect it will hold up for many years.

I used to have a really hard time trimming my little ones nails once she got old enough to really figure out what was going on. And then a friend got me a small set of clippers that looked like a little bee. She thought that was hilarious and I've not have a problem for the past year. I just have to let her play with it a little after I'm done, which is not a big deal because it would be impossible to get anything in the clippers for her due to the angle and design of the piece.

Why can't any of those have been women? Do we really have to clarify each time?

This isn't the most attractive solution, but it was a cost effective one for us. We took two of the long foam water floaties, cut a section out of each one, and attached them to our hearth with adhesive velcro tape. It's been there for a year now and is still holding strong. And it's much better at protecting our little one than the kind you can purchase for $40 or more at the store.

And this post's comments section is a prime example of why I will not be frequenting this website much at all anymore, if ever. I have never met a group of such self righteous people who take it upon them selves to police the choices of people they don't even know. What ever happened to kindness between strangers. I bet most of you would be incredibly ashamed if your children knew of your behavior, and I bet that not a one of you would have the guts to say these thing to another person's face.

I'm sure the customer service is excellent as they say, but that does not make me want to spend 2.5 times more per yard of each of these fabrics than they are at my local high end fabric shop.

That dutch oven would be great to make gumbo in!!!

A small snack for mom. I can't tell you how many times I've left the house after spending all of my time getting the baby ready to go somewhere, only to realize how hungry I am!

The cook's staples, onions, celery, and carrots!
