Yikes! Where do I start?? Anyone have any tips or ideas? I have this urge (that I've had for sooo long) to just clean, clean, clean and get rid of ALL the clutter. This place is a disaster, not because it's so dirty, but because there's just way too much stuff... Toys, clothes, you name it, we...

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...

I have a friend that does a number of questionable things... in the past and now. Right now, it's potty training. Her DS is almost the same age as my DD1 - he'll be 3 in September. She's doing the potty training thing. He will pee all the time on the potty. He can go a full day in underwear...

DD1 is now 17 months old. For the last month or so, she's gotten into this horrible spitting habit. It actualy drives me nuts. I can't stand it, and I don't have a clue where she picked it up from... I also don't know how to deal with it properly. All she does is spit, and I've noticed it...

I just found out from a friend that MIL is upset. (MIL was talking to her neighbour who talks to my friend that I talked to) MIL said something to the neighbour along the lines of that she felt or thinks that *I* won't leave the kids (DS is 5, DD is 1) at her house because she wasn't good...

For those who might be around both, I had posted a little while ago about having some sort of help around the house as far as daily life goes (ie, putting dirty dishes in the sink, picking up dirty laundry, toys, etc.) and that doesn't seem to be helping. Now, though, this all brings me to a...

I'm wondering... What kinds of stuff are your children in to, as far as toys or activities? DS seems to just obsess over some things... Just wondering if anyone else has one with a similar obsession! DS2, 5 and a half, is obsessed with dinosaurs. He can name - and properly pronounce - more...

I know I'm not the perfect parent (as I know no one is THE perfect parent) but there's some problems we're having with our 5 year old son that I'm finding kind of hard to deal with... Lately, I feel he's been acting up. I'm wondering what, exactly, I, or we, are doing wrong or could change. Any...

I'm looking for anything! Does anyone know of any good, healthy meals that are fairly easy and simple to prepare that's better than something like Hamburger Helper? I admit and know I'm not the best cook around, but I'm looking for anything that is new and basically kids might like. Yes, I have...

Anyone know how it is to go to school for the first time. Teachers live through this experience twice; and the second time is not the less impressive. Despite my diplomas that allowed me to teach in state secondary schools and my requests, I had been appointed to teach to a sixth- grade class. At...
