I have a 2-year-old and am currently 8 months pregnant with the second. The pregnancy has been a tough one, mobility-wise, and I've found that one of the hardest things to do to deal with those issues is to relax my standards of tidy or clean in my house.
I suppose the pay-off (a healthy full term baby) is the wonderful reward, but boy, it's been a tough hang up to deal with. I just stare longingly at my vacuum most days and glare spitefully at my months-old bathroom dust bunnies. Only a few more weeks to go!

Just borrow one from someone. You'll only use it for a few months. Just put up with it for that long and then get rid of the hideous thing by graciously returning it to its owner :)

La la la love the greens.
I grew up in a house full of writers but they weren't that tidy... Still aren't, but regardless, our house was always warm and homey. This place is like what our house could be if the writers were ever actually home.

My son was born at 30 weeks and spent about a month and a half in the NICU in two different cities. I have to say, the most helpful thing people did for my husband and I was to drop off meals - casseroles, soups, curries - as we had no energy to cook, if we even remembered to eat.
ALSO, a really great prezzie is a great hand lotion for dry, cracked hands. Having to wash my hands and sanitize them at every moment in the hospital saved my son, but destroyed my hands. The hand lotion I got in a care package from some friends was a life saver.

My favourite one was "Bloody Hell We're Buggered Now." Very silly. I think it's on etsy somewhere.

Ok, well, I know someone mentioned bonemeal, but bloodmeal is FANtastic! It may be a little stinky at first but that's why they hate it. My neighbour used it this year on her tulips and this is the first time in years and years that she has actually seen their blooms. The dectectable scent dies down after some time and you may have to apply more after it rains. The added bonus of bloodmeal is that it is also a great fertilizer for your plants. Miracle tree-rat repellent! (insert hellelujah chorus here)

They're all wonderfully silly. I love them!

ooh, ooh... I like this game! I like George Peppard's apartment in "Breakfast at Tiffany's" and the poolhouse in "Philidelphia Story." And "The Apartment" is definitely NOT a couple's starter home. It's more of a bachelor pad/skanky man den.

I have one by kapoosh (http://www.amazon.com/Kapoosh-Universal-Knife-Block-Stainless/dp/B000O38NRK) and I enjoy it. We got lots of great but mismatched knives for our wedding and it takes them all. You can take out the plastic rods and stick them in the dishwasher, which is also good.

Looks like the set of a comic book movie.
Somebody get me Hollywood on the line!
