    cake balls help?

    I put them into the teeney tiny ice cream cones. They look adorable and imo are easier to dip and decorate, and you don't have to deal with sticks. I usually get the ice cream cones from super wal mart, it is like 1.50 for a box.

    Vinegar

    We have wood laminate that looks like tile in our kitchen. We love it! Everyone who comes over insists it is ceramic tile and has to touch it to be sure. (Even our realtor) I usually just clean it with swiffers and sometimes the steam mop. I think I will try vinegar now though, thanks for...

    How old is too old for a pacifier?

    We recently took away our 18month old son's pacifiers. He started to bite through them. Our son HATED the ones with holes in them and so finally one day we just stopped buying more and told him that they were all broken. We would still give him a broken one to try if he asked, but he wouldn't...

    Dog Trouble....

    People have to come first. The responsible thing to do once a dog bites someone is to put him down. My mother had a similar situation and it was heartbreaking. The dog bit a few people over the years, finally a child. No one was seriously injured and the dog felt threatened every time he...

    So my kid spills water on laptop

    It happened to me with a full cup of coffee. I was told to turn it upside down and leave it for at least over a week. If you try to turn it on too soon, it could do serious damage or most likely break it for good. I followed these instructions and amazingly 2 weeks later I turned it on and it...

    Have you made a lobster tail?

    I would recommend baking them. There is a great youtube video from lobster gram about how to cut and prepare them. SUPER easy and delicious and they taste awesome and look like they came from a restaurant! Check out Dan the lobster man! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AF0BLNZoxSk

    Pre-School for your child?

    I also agree that preschool is so important. Kindergarten moves at such a rapid pace and many skills are expected to already be introduced or mastered. I think that you should call your park district and ask about any discounts that may be available. For example the Chicago Ridge Park...

    New Dog, need opinions!

    I agree with your neighbors. She does look like she has some blue tick **** hound in her. She seems to have that trademark "ticking" (the white spots/markings on her torso). What a cute dog! congrats!!!

    Rude family members

    For me it depends on the person and the gift! There are some rude family members who I don't care if I spend the whole amount on or not, as long as the gift is worth that much. Then there are other not rude family members who I am happy to go above and beyond for.

    Mommies (& Daddies) I need help., PLEASE!

    I am also a fan of the yellow A&D for the rash. It is one of the only things that works for my son. Also a persistant diaper rash can be a sign that it has turned into a yeast infection, in that case you use an anti fungal cream, I use Lotrimin(sp) for my little guy. For the diarrhea, I would...

    Giuliana Rancic has my sympathy

    So sad, I didn't realize that it could be a possible side effect of ivf. I hope they consider adopting. I think they would be good parents.
