I agree on the white... that would look beautiful. That is a beautiful paint colour - I wouldn't change it either.

I'm a little late to the party, but I just came up with a great idea!

With 3 kids, I am always stashing presents here and there, and sometimes forget where I put them - until I just looked at the empty box for the Christmas tree!!! It's the perfect size to hide everything - now I can even just go to one place to check on what I've already bought and make sure it's somewhat even..

Very cool idea!

I would hope that my child's teacher would think of the thought that went into a gift from a child and be gracious, even if they had already received a hundred of the same. Maybe the child picked out the cute mug with the apple on it..

I don't think that there are, or should be rules on what to give - a gift is from the heart. I like the input from the teachers on how important a written thank-you note is - this is something that we often overlook, but really, it is quite meaningful isn't it?

Happy Birthday!!!

You need to have a little fun as a child - so you don't grow up to be a miserable adult! ;)

LOVE the pancakes!What a fun idea, especially with all this winter weather - I think I'll make them on Sunday morning, which just happens to be my 4 year old daughter's birthday!!

I think that if it is used as a special occasion type thing, then why not?
There is much more to a mani/pedi than just painting one's nails - in many other cultures it is much more common to receive spa services on a more regular basis.

That being said, I don't allow my daughter to wear makeup - I don't even like lipgloss. I would rather that she wear professional makeup when the time comes, instead of the cheap stuff that is marketed to girls her age.

I think that a treat like having a spa service is something for her to look forward to. Having a taste of it when she is young will help to teach her to take care of herself and hopefully she will get a job when she is old enough, and keep it up. There is nothing wrong with working hard and rewarding yourself. Of course it is not a necessity - but I want her to want to work hard enough in life to afford life's luxuries.

We got our Swinxs a couple weeks ago - and I have to say, my kids are the envy of the block! They absolutely love it. I love how it organizes all the games - it also picks who goes first based on the colour of the wristband - No fighting!!! It is simple enough that my 3 year old can play, yet fun enough that my 8 and 10 year olds want to play as well.
I love that it is portable, so we can take it with us - and it really engages the kids in a physical activity - which helps to bring them together.
I highly recommend the Swinxs!!

Oooh!! I missed last year's post - I want one of these!!

What a great concept! Arnout - I emailed you, please pick me!!! :)
