We also experienced a HUGE change when DS1 night weaned. For the first 2 years of his life he was up at least every 2 hours, Every. Single. Night. One 3-hour stretch a few times a year was like Christmas to me. He night weaned in...

Our house is all kinds of flip-flopped, but it works and it still appears normal.   Our foyer is our laundry/mud room. The washer and dryer are in a closet, but the hamper is right out in the open, directly across from the...

This thread is a few weeks old so I hope you've solved your problem, but I thought I'd chime in anyway. Orange oil (Orange Glo cleaner) works like a dream. Once per summer, the first time I see an ant, I spray the entire perimeter...

Only DH and my best friend know right now. We had a m/c in October, so add us to the extra cautious boat. We're going to try to hold out until at least 9-10 weeks.

Orange Glow! We had a huge ant problem as soon as the weather warmed up. I never really tried anything besides those little plastic baits and they didn't seem to work, but they were driving me crazy. One day a few weeks ago I saw a...

I consider navy to be kind of a neutral. There aren't many colors that don't look good with it.
