Sugarbakers's Profile

Why is everyone waxing nostalgic about family dinners? Very few of these photos are of families with children. Yes, a jammied-mom with her baby, a toddler eating take-out, a woman clearly skype-ing with a loved one while she eats with her child.

Most of these pics are of single and coupled NYCers. I'm shocked anyone is eating at home in the first place. Don't you know you should be eating fabulous dinners in real restaurants before it costs $50 to pay a babysitter! This is your future speaking! Act now!

AAAKid: Consumer Reports says canister vacs for hardwoods. Their "best buy" is the Kenmore Progressive. I have had one for 3 years, have only hardwood and tile, and love it! There is usually some sort of sale and you can get extra $$ off with a Sears card.

As for the "don't use vacuums on hardwoods", with the Progressive you can turn the beaters off.

I don't know what the problem is here. You put them in the bouncy/exersaucer and then go take a shower. The child can't move. Other than an earthquake knocking heavy furniture on them what is there to worry about? I admit older children are harder, but that's what TV is for.

You will also be amazed by the DVD selection at your local library. We were using Netflix to go through the HBO catalog and then realized they were all at the library for free!

We toured a house that had soft music playing. It was distracting and made it seem like the sellers were desperate (which - to me - meant no one else liked their house either).
Don't do it.
