We did a dresser as changing table so it has all the clothes, etc, also in it along with diapers, creams, etc. Definitely worth finding some sturdy thrift furniture if you can - we took my husband's childhood furniture and painted it and added new pulls from Anthropologie for my daughter (who is due on Saturday!).

I have weaned myself off caffeine 2x now for 2 pregnancies and I found it much easier to do the slow wean. i moved from full caff to half caff for a few days to 3/4 decaf to no caff. It's hard at first but you will feel much better when you are done. I did drink decaf throughout and have developed an immunity to the flavor of it.

Pasta with fried eggs - just brown some garlic in olive oil, crack a few eggs in and toss with just pulled out of the water linguini, top generously with grated parm. Sometimes needs a little spoonful of pasta water so it's not too dry. love love love this dish. What Is Your Best Quick, Last-Minute Pasta Recipe? Reader Intelligence |

Dave's gives a kick-@ss course in fresh pasta making (among other things) and it really is pretty easy to do. Hardest part is rolling it out. I think you could make your own fresh pasta on a sunday and freeze batches for use during the week. Make or Buy? Dried, Fresh Gourmet, and Homemade Pasta |

Have also done this with the parsley, and also a saffron flavored pasta. I've wanted to try more combos but since having a baby all that pasta-making free time has gone out the window! Restaurant Tip: Add Fresh Herbs to Pasta Dough |

Our cat is too chunky to get up on the counter with any regularity (sounds like he may have some 'big boned' pals out there!) but he will make the effort to get up there if we have any fresh cut flowers, and in particular he goes nuts for baby's breath (no idea how that came about). So we have to put books/bags/etc on the bar stools so he can't jump up on them to get to the flowers. Curious Cats: How to Keep Pets Away from Food | Apartment Therapy The Kitchn |

I bet you could baste them with a little butter and sprinkle with some spices (parm cheese, garlic salt, dill, curry powder, etc) and they'd be very tasty. I think i would definitely opt for baking them. The Wow Factor: Origami Crane Garnishes | Apartment Therapy The Kitchn |

I also add the bread soaked in milk. And i make them with (dark) turkey meat, or all lamb, or all beef/all pork. Lots of variations. I've never used rosemary or paprika but I do add fresh parsley and a generous amount of grated parm. Apartment Therapy The Kitchn | Recipe: Totally Tender Meatballs in Tomato Sauce |

my nutritionist was thrilled when i told her i hate fruit juices of all kinds and never drink them. She definitely recommends not drinking the calories. Eat the fruit itself, you're better off. Apartment Therapy The Kitchn | Orange Juice: Morning Necessity or Empty Calories? |

Really good for flavoring steamed artichokes. Add some chicken broth, onion and lemon juice and a cheese rind or two and it's a delicious broth! Apartment Therapy The Kitchn | How Can I Use My Cheese Rinds? Good Questions |

this probably comes from years of living in east coast cities like Baltimore but it looks to me like something you'd associate with crack. Sorry for the blatant honesty on this one but it does!! Apartment Therapy The Kitchn | Small Space Living: Portable Stove Necklace |

My hubby and I usually freeze the tomato pulp. I highly recommend you invest in a food mill - or tomato mill - they have a cheap one at William Sonoma (Less than $30 which is cheap for WS!) that works great for tomatoes. It removes the skins and seeds so you can just store the pulp for sauce. It is invaluable for large batches of canning/freezing. You run the tomatoes through 2-3 times to get all the pulp out but it goes fast and is much easier than trying to remove skins by hand.
