I also have to vote for a pump. I didn't buy one when I was preg with dd (I wasn't and didn't bottle feed her) but when my milk came in - whoa!! Dh brought me to the hospital crying, I used their pump just to relieve engorgement. Then...

Well, I also made my dd a waldorf doll from a Magic Cabin kit. Up on the shelf it sits....poor thing! I even gave her the doll in a dolly-sized moses basket with the liner made to match her bedsheets! It was so adorable. Anyway,...

I saw those Stride Rites in the store and I really like them except for he heel, why do they put a high heel on kids shoes? It's kinda like a platform, about a 7/8" heel. I'm used to Soft Star shoes I guess - completely flat. I...

We have a sandwich maker - it's kind of like a waffle iron but it has "pockets" for the bread. You make a sandwich with any filling, then put it in the sandwich maker and close it, after about 1-2 min it comes out crispy on...

Wow - that 's so great that he sat for the haircut! I decided to buzz ds's hair myself (I've always done dh's hair and dd's). BIG mistake I made a BALD spot behind his ear, then tried to fix it , made it worse. Then I had to make...

My dd wasn't confident with her potty business until she was 3y 7mo, after months of worrying, bribing, begging and hoping on my part. She could just care less, a diaper was just fine with her. I was a wreck!! MIL kept telling me...
