I look forward all year to Reese's peanut butter eggs. My favorite candy ever. I freeze bags and try to make them last, but I have no self-control.

Sounds like you're doing great. I just want to say, for other people who may be wanting opinions, I completely agree with those saying to please do NOT tell people trying to conceive to relax. Maybe stress can possibly be a factor, but most likely it is not. Stressed people get pregnant all...

I have to give a shoutout to US Cellular. I know they're not one of the biggest carriers, and I'm sure it really depends on where you are located. We have had US Cellular for years. We get great nation-wide coverage. We have traveled all over the country and always have great service...

I've done it with pot roast. I'm not going crazy about it, but it was good.

You know, I have a theory on Bejeweled that your computer speed can affect your score. Some nights, I play game after game and can't get blazing speed. Other times, I play game after game and every game is over 200,000. If I'm getting low scores, I'll clean out my history, restart my computer...

We went in '08 with 9 people and ate a lot of early meals, but usually sat together. Many times, they'd tell us they couldn't promise us we could sit together, but I can't think of a single time we weren't tabled side-by-side. We actually enjoyed it as we had fun mixing and matching group...

We did a cross-country trip when I was 12, and I loved Wall Drug and the Corn Palace. I know, just silly stops, but I think after all the hours in the car, we were really happy to get out and do something. Getting back to the corn palace is on my list of things to do before I die. I want to...

I don't know about giving them back, especially since you don't know her really well or see her often. It's hard to know how she would react to being given back her gifts. I would feel terrible if someone gave me back three years worth of gifts and told me they couldn't use them. Not that I'd...

I reluctantly did my first cookie exchange last week. 9 dozen. It was way too much work. I would never do an ornament exchange and I will not do a cookie exchange again. I think the idea is nice for people to make a large batch of one recipe and in return get a variety. I still had to do...

I was going to say Les Miserables and Shogun too.

Very popular in our house for all ages for long periods of time: Goblet Uno Attack Whoonu-a really weird game, but for some reason we can't stop playing it and lately cribbage has been making a comeback with my upper-elementary kids Wii: Just Dance and Sports Resort were Christmas gifts last...

Didn't read all the responses, but wanted to lend support. Our twelve-year-old has a cell phone and it's worked out really well. Great for communication, great for keeping track of her communication. She is very responsible with it. We are closer than ever because she's not allowed to text...

Been using Lash Injection by Too Faced and like the way it looks, but not thrilled with the waterproof claims. Not really proving to be waterproof for me.

I agree on Sports Resort (warning, you may have to buy additional attachments for controllers though!) My kids also play Mario Kart and Just Dance frequently. For my kids, ages 6-12, those are definitely the top 3 games.

I don't like it when people automatically assume that mean girls are jerks who don't care and grow into awful adults. My oldest daughter can be a mean girl at times. She is just not natural at being thoughtful and very impulsive by nature. No natural "filter". She is also incredibly insecure...

Nitwit here. We stopped buying them because of the noisy bag. Not that we wanted them to go back to the old planet-killing bags or were making a political statement. When we were in the chip aisle choosing chips, the kids would say, "Mom, please don't buy Sunchips in the noisy bag, it hurts...

Although my kids share rooms, they don't share beds. I have found when we go to hotels and they have to share beds, it does take them a lot longer to settle. I would advise separate bedtimes as a first solution, one on the floor and one in the bed as second solution until you can get separate...

You're getting great replies. I just wanted to add to the basic discussion that I'm a SAHM and I get these requests very often. I'm a people-pleaser and have too often gotten myself driving people's kids everywhere and babysitting. It's very hard to say no, especially when you get the...

I have elementary school aged kids. I feel bad because they want to play and relax after school. However, putting off homework is always a disaster. The evening goes by quickly, we have sports or activities, want to eat and spend time as a family, and homework before bed usually leads to...

Used to be I would have said that people are too sensitive and they shouldn't get so worked up over people using a word. However, I married an epileptic and him having a seizure is a scary and very real thing for us. I find myself feeling very upset when I hear people on television, movies...
