    Thanks everyone - you were very helpful!

    Thanks for the book series suggestions! Unfortunately I don't know if she has a DS or ipod, also can't be gift cards, has to be actual gifts. I'm shopping for someone else and I've got a handle on every other age group, but don't know anything about preteen girls....

    Hi, Can anyone give me recommendations for what 10-11yr girls are interested in ? I don't know her at all. Price range would be up to $50 and ideally would be able to get a few gifts for that price. I would also like to know what book series might be good for that age range. Thanks for the help!

    I bought two storage ottomans at Target, love them! The tops flip over and can be either a coffee table type surface or a padded seat.

    Actually it works great for grinding wheat berries, we use it a few times a week for grinding. I bought mine used a few years ago on ebay for under $300 and I love it because it is the old stainless steel carafe. I do all sorts of things in mine but its primary use it grinding wheat.

    I'm not sure if netflix has it, but Gilmore Girls would be a good option

    I am loving it too! I love the premise but almost wish it were a movie or miniseries because I want them all to get their happy ever afters back NOW! :D

    I did this recently too, and am loving it! I haven't cooked anything (including breakfast and lunches) in over a week. I follow this website http://www.onceamonthmom.com It took several months of watching her website to find a meal plan that looked like it would work for my whole family

    From my experience, and we only eat actual free range chicken, free range turkey's do not taste nearly as good as the typical store bought turkey. They are not as plump, or tender.

    Have you read the book Mothering Multiples? It was a huge help to me. I did love my double nursing pillow, I used a boppy in the beginning but once they were past the tiny newborn stage, the twin nursing pillow worked much better. Multiple bouncy seats in different parts of the house were very helpful too.

    Rational or not...still gross to me!

    Not the iphone, but my itouch, I believe the screen size is the same. I read nightly in bed on it, because the screen is back lit, it doesn't keep DH awake and I don't have to use a bulky reading light, I agree the only annoying thing is constantly flipping pages. I was highly disappointed when I found out the actual Kindle wasn't backlit! (I do love my kindly anway)

    Yes, the handbook of nature study site is wonderful! There is so much there though it can be overwhelmingly wonderful :)

    Thanks for the input. We have always used the the 1/2 levels (cause honestly I didn't realize they weren't intended to be used routinely....) I don't think they were a waste of time for my kids though because they still needed to work through them. I had intended to go straight from 4 to 5,and 4 was very easy for them, but it feels like we are "skipping" something, even though we aren't :)

    Do the keurigs have a water reservoir? You dont have to add water each time you want to brew a cup?

    My kids just flew through ETC 4. No problems or slow downs, I have ETC 5 already to go, but I am wondering if I should have them do 4.5 just because book 4 covers so much. Thoughts? Or do 5 and come back to 4.5 as review??

    My preemie born during flu season was 6+ wks before we left the house. My healthy babe was out to big sibs activities a few days after birth

    I adore all of Jan Brett's illustrations, so I'm very partial to her beautiful version of the Night Before Christmas

    The remake of Dirty Dancing is just wrong wrong wrong!! Who could possibly replace Patrick Swayze and WHY do they think its necessary to try?? I don't have any desire to see the new footloose.

    Based strictly on my kids preferences I would recommend Reading Eggs. My oldest two have completed Clicknkids but it took about 2 years because they just did not like it. Reading eggs they LOVE... from the 4yr old on up.

    No way! I find them so uncomfortable.

    You should be fine to refreeze http://www.foodsafety.gov/keep/charts/frozen_food.html http://www.fsis.usda.gov/factsheets/focus_on_freezing/index.asp#16

    I bought the cover with light and returned it, I didn't like how heavy it was and the uneven lighting. I do not use a cover at home, but I'll second the M- edge cover( bought very cheaply used on amazon) for leaving the house. I bought a belkin reading light that works great. My battery lasts for a very long time. Keep an eye on the amazon free book list, they change pretty often.

    Having watched a shih tzu nearly take off a 2yrs olds ear, I strongly disagree that she couldn't do much damage. You can find a lot of great dog training info at the library/ on the web. And you can definitely train and older dog.
