For those that use cloth or have used cloth... What is, in your opinion, the best type of material to use for cloth diapers? There seems to be so many options, but I'm wondering if there's a great material that is soft, absorbant and allows air. Also, if possible, something that is kind of...

Let's say I go to a store, and buy a CD, then it is mine. And then I share it with a few friends. NO, when you buy a CD (or a DVD ) All you OWN is the plastic disc...the music or video is the property of the artist, the record company, or the movie company, you just have a license to...

Do you have any diapers, Enfamil Lipil formula, baby wipes, or baby boy clothing that you no longer need? I had an unexpected rapid-growing ovarian tumor and three surgeries and have had lots of medical problems within the last year which caused severe financial difficulties. We do not qualify for...

I have two dogs, a Brittany and a Boxer, and they are both wonderful, sweet, gentle dogs. Jessica is closely watched with them, but being a toddler, will sometimes give them a run for their money and pull an ear or something accidentally. She's been known to plop down right on both dogs with no...

I've just given birth a little more than 2 weeks ago and now I'm starting to think about birth control options. I have been on the pill and depo in the past and didn't do so good on it. I had anger and anxiety problems while on them. So I'm looking for an alternative but as silly as it sounds I...

My father is a severe alcoholic, and consequently I've had almost no contact with him for many years. (My parents have long since divorced.) I don't intend for my kids ever to see him, because I couldn't be sure of their physical or emotional safety if they did. DH and I are both in agreement on...

X-posted I am so mad at our local police department. I just saw a news story saying that there will be a little more than double the amount of police coverage tonight. Then, the chief of police (or whatever the boss is called) said that at the stroke of midnight, all the police that are not on a...

How do you deal with a lazy husband with resorting to nagging? My husband works full time, but he never wants to do anything around the house, such as DIY gardening or childcare. I am quite content to do all the laundry, cooking cleaning, and bill paying, but my husband thinks that as he works...

I'm a first time mom and am not sure what clothing to get my toddler for the fall/winter. Does anyone know of a checklist that I could take shopping with me or just have any great advice?

I know everyone's different, but at what age did your children stop using the highchair? DD, almost 20 months, is still going strong, although she used her booster for about 2 weeks when she was 17 months. One day she stopped wanting to sit in it. Anyway, I'm just trying to get a...

My fifth grader brings home accumulated work every other Friday. With her math papers today, included in the unit on graphs, was one worksheet on stem and leaf plots. She understands how to do them and more or less what they might be used for. According to her, the math teachers say they have to...

Julie (2 years, 7 months) has suddenly become afraid of ghosts and owls. We're not even sure how she knows what a ghost is. Must have been from halloween. Anyway, she was up last night crying and afraid. It took a while to even determine what the problem was. Once I knew, I basically alternated...

I've got he catalogue, and I have some books that I'm trying to get through that are less wordy. ;-) Anyway, I'm a newbie to the Dharma Trading Company (refered to by several posters here), and I'm wonder, what does one *really* need to get started dyeing? There are multiple kits, books, and...

Our DD has been waking up every night at 3 am for the last four nights. She had a throat and nose infection and was receiving antibiotics and the treatment ended a few days before she started waking up at night. The treatment ended after a doctor check-up who said everything was ok. I don't feel...

I'm supplementing my baby with formula while bfing at nights. I was wondering if there's any difference between the branded (Enfamil,similac etc) and the store brand (Kirkland @ Costco). DH and I compared the ingredients listed on the tin. The quantities are exactly the same. Anyways, there's a 30%...

HELP! My three year old is a terror at nap and bedtime. He used to be such a sweet child and now, holy cow. He's destroying his room. The only thing he has in there are windows, a bed, a bookcase, a dresser and two fans, as it is very hot here in the Pacific NW. In regards to the window: He has...
