My dd (6.5 mo) wants variety. Now she suddenly decided she doesn't want to eat cereal anymore. Can I mix anything else in it other than breast milk in cereal? There's only 50% chance that she'll eat it so I've been throwing it away half the time. She used to eat lot of cereal until couple of weeks...

We just had new tiles put down in the kitchen, and the guys who did it didn't do the neatest job. Our landlady gave us a bottle of "Oops! The All Purpose Remover," and it does a great job of getting the adhesive off the the tiles. The contents are nasty, though: Ethyl Alcohol VM&P...

I just went to The Wiggles' site to find out when the new eps are going to start (Enzo just informed me that they will begin in October, so I thought I'd try to pinpoint a date). Right on their home page is a link to the Australian Breastfeeding...

Alena and I are both fighting colds. I'm doing it by being miserable and hot. She's doing it by sleeping. I'm having to wake her up to eat. She's had 6 wet diapers so far today, and we'll be up for another 3 hours or so, meaning she'll make it to 8 before the night's out. But she's really lazily...
