I take the diaper bag everywhere. Sometimes we use disposables on outings, other times we stick with cloth. I use disposables when we go out, and I expect not to have a convenient place to change the...

Thank you for this! I'm surprised this never occurred to me. This is similar to stretching for relief of shin splints. I've had problems with shin splints since middle school, and I learned then that...

I don't think ants are dirty. I have issues about other people thinking that about me. I grew up poor by American standards, but our house wasn't dirty. I got picked on in elementary school a lot...

I honestly have nothing against ants (I kind of like them, despite my reaction to their insta-swarm on dropped food), so long as they don't invade my pantry. But we live in a shared building. I think...

I'm not really sure where to put this, but this looks like a good folder.

We have ants. I have torn apart our foodstuffs, and they don't appear to be into anything like that. But the second food...

Oh, they LOVE kale chips. I make them all the time. But I don't have a food dehydrator, and making them in the oven requires them to be bone-dry first (or they end up steamed--still delicious, but...

Thanks. We do a lot of fruits and cheese, and my older daughter loves hard boiled eggs, but I was more thinking of dry things I could take along on a trip to the zoo in a baggie. Something that...

I have two small children who are exceedingly picky. Well, the older one is. The younger one is picky about a very few foods, but otherwise she'll eat just about anything that lands within arm's...

An idea I heard recently and think is brilliant: kids get a very substantial allowance, but they have to buy their own stuff. I think you could start this off gradually so your five-year-old isn't...

I've actually thought about this quite a bit. I used to always think my answer would be 'no,' but I've had two kids recently, and I'm feeling frumpier and frumpier. I work out, eat right, and take...

Yes, piriformis stretch! You can do it lying down or sitting in a chair. It's the only thing that alleviated mine during pregnancy. I also found the leaning with my palms flat against the wall (like...

I have recipes that require completely dry produce in order to cook nicely. Otherwise they come out tasting steamed instead of being nice and crunchy. And it's really hard to get super curly leaves...

Yeah, I've been using it for about ten months now, and my hair has just transformed. I only use it every other day, and I often condition my ends. I've had to fine-tune it in a lot of ways, but I...

I have friends who can't comment on my blog for some reason, no matter what they do, unless they use a different computer. Is hers on Blogger? It can be awfully glitchy.

My swim cap always slides ride off when I put conditioner in my hair, so it would have to be either/or. I wear a cap for lap swimming, but take it off for the water aerobics portion (I hate the feel...

I recently switched to a no shampoo method (I use baking soda to wash and apple cider vinegar as a sort of conditioner). My hair has never been this close to good in my entire life. I have baby-fine,...

I would love to have a salad spinner. I have a couple of recipes that require the leaves be completely dry to get the best flavor. Kale, being so curly and bunchy, just doesn't dry well on its own,...

Broccoli is my favorite vegetable. Or maybe kale. Not sure which. But here is my favorite recipe for broccoli: http://www.amateurgourmet.com/2008/11/the_best_brocco.html

I use far less salt and...

An HE washer is totally worth it. We had one for two years but left it behind to make our house more saleable. *sob* Now we're stuck with our apartment's horrible washer. I don't know if standard...

I buy Zoi.

We get it at WinCo. It's barely more expensive for a 32 oz. tub. And if you strain out a 32 oz tub of regular yogurt, you end up with far less product, so it may technically be cheaper, once you...

I eat a lot of protein because I am hungry all.the.time. I can eat a little bit of yogurt with 130 calories, or I can eat 14 bowls of cereal with... a lot more calories. Obviously I'm exaggerating,...

I also have music on and dance while I cook or prepare sandwiches, or anything that requires standing in one spot. I'm a SAHM, so the only people around to see me look like a hugely uncoordinated...

This isn't weight-loss level exercise, but core strength greatly facilitates other exercise, and it make you feel better and more stable: anytime you're lounging around, doing nothing, work on your...

Unsliced bread stores best at room temperature in a paper bag, and refrigerating bread makes it go stale faster:
