Brilliant! Yes, I would probably anchor it to the wall, but this is a great idea! It even looks good.

I don't think the illustrations from the Eric Carle books count as "ugly licensed junk", but to each his own.
For our kids, we always figured, it is their room, let them have their style. I get to style all the other rooms in the house.
To be honest, though, I would be more likely to frame a page from the book than to pay PB prices.

There is such a thing as buttermilk powder? You just made my day. I don't bake enough to use a whole container of buttermilk before it spoils. I love it for marinating chicken.
I'm off to search for buttermilk powder. Thanks!

Oh, and "yes, please" to the butter and honey camp.

Creative idea. Funny as I keep mine standing up on the bookshelf in a magazine holder. If you face the "spine" of the holder outwards, you can't see the paper at all.
Of course, that only works for standard paper size, not legal.

The mesh bumper is great, but we had this problem late in the game. Our toddler was getting his legs stuck in the rails. He is also old enough to try to climb out, although he can't make it yet. We bought the mesh crib tent from Amazon and it serves both functions. he can't get stuck and he can't get out. He also seems to feel more secure/cozy in it when it is zipped up.

I find my brethren everywhere!

I'm sick of it as a trend. I love bacon, but half the reason I love it is that I don't eat it that often.
Can we please stop with trendy foods altogether? Acai, bacon, cakepops (nasty), etc. I agree with the poster earlier regarding shock value in foods. I'm tired of seeing so many recipes whose main point seems to be, "Betcha didn't think I could put THIS in there!" Food should be about taste and health, not dares.

What is the transfer rate like? Can I fluidly stream a movie or will it jump? It seems like it would be slow.

I put mine ini a gallon size ziploc. Works great and the touch screen functions as normal.

I started couponing when I lost my job. I had a family to support and more time than money. I have never gone to the extremes that they depict on the show, but I have saved 60-70% on a good grocery trip. It kept us from needing the food pantries.
I agree that the ladies they have shown so far seem to be in it more for the thrill of getting things for free and the compulsion to collect, but they may someday find themselves saved by the obsession or able to save someone else.
A friend who does this was able to donate a month's worth of food to a neighbor in need.
